I've read an article which says there is recent medical evidence for papaya combatting cancer - is there any truth in this?
Papaya is loaded with cancer fighting caretenoids and anti-oxidants (such as beta caratene and lycopene), so it stands to reason that it could be beneficial in preventing and possibly fighting cancer (though I have seen nothing to indicate that it should be considered as anything close to a single item solution).
There has indeed been some recent medical indications of papaya's effects against cancer:

And previously it was reported to have effects against breast cancer:

Thanks for letting us know how you're doing and the success you have had with pau d'arco tea. I would add for the folks who are not familiar with your story that, while pau d'arco has been the centerpiece of your successful fight, you also did juiced vegetables and took some other items. If you have the time, perhaps you could fill in some of those details for the benefit of other members.

Bromelain is also found naturally in pineapples so my morning juice which incidentally tasted fantastic was loaded with bromelain, I have read that bromelain literally strips the mucus coating away from cancer cells allowing your own bodies natural defenses to recognize them as the bad guys and attack and kill them.
I do have to disagree with your comments here. First of all the pineapple fruit is not that high in bromelain. Bromelain is concentrated in the stem of the pineapple, not the fruit.
And bromelain is a protein digestive enzyme. But mucus is primarily composed of polysaccharides, not protein, which means that the bromelain will have very little effect on mucus.
And finally, cancer cells are not coated with mucus. Cancer cells are embryonic tissue. And like the fetus, which is also a foreign protein, cancer cells and fetuses hide from the immune system through a coating of human chorionic gonadotropic hormone HCG). This is why they were looking in to using anti-HCG vaccines to fight cancer about 20 years ago.
Good info. It could be, however, that bromelain might have some effect at stripping away the outer layer of cancer cells since it is a digestive enzyme and that is what Kelly used to defeat his pancreatic cancer. Granted that chymotrypsin, serrapeptase, amylase and other enzymes might have been more important, but then again, bromelain is also a very powerful binder that potentiates many other items, including other enzymes from what I have read. Perhaps his bromelain, from both the supplement and the bit in the juice, also helped potentiate the pau d'arco?
Bromelain is widely available in supplement form, though it is a good idea to go with a quality product as it has been found that effectiveness and actual bromelain content varies widely from one manufacturer to another. A good place to look in my opinion would be iherb.com, where you can also find some good combination enzyme products such as Garden of Life's OmegaZymes as well as Serrapeptase supplements (I use the Doctor's Best brand). If you have never ordered from iherb before, you can use my referral code of X0T949 to get $5 off your first order (I am not an affiliate of iherb's, but I do get a few cents credit on my own future purchases when someone uses the code).
A modestly priced quality enzyme combo is JarrowZymes Plus, which you can get at a number of places including CureZone sponsor Utopia Silver Supplement Company (and you can get 15% off if it is not currently on sale at Utopia if you use the CureZone discount code of LR001).
Besides the fact that digestive/pancreatic enzymes may directly help fight cancer cells, they also help digest some of the foreign proteins in our diet, which can cut down on mucous production. Mucous is a defense mechanism the body uses in response to foreign objects. Thus, digesting and helping eliminate such objects can result in less mucous.
A further note: healthy mucousal linings are needed for optimum health and immune function. When they are stripped away, the body struggles mightily to rebuild them. For that reason, it is important to balance the need for cleansing with the need to maintain healthy mucousal linings. Perhaps the best plan would be initial cleansing and then limited cleansing thereafter. One exception when it comes to cancer in my opinion would be coffee enemas, especially at the outset of adopting an anti-cancer protocol.
The late great cancer pioneer Max Gerson observed that he never found a single cancer patient who did not have an impaired liver. In fact, initially half of his patients who were using his intensive juicing therapy ended up dying of liver failure due to the large release of toxins having to be processed by already impaired liver. Thus measures such as coffee enemas, coconut milk, curcumin, and beet root juice to help open the bile duct and keep it open and flowing to release toxins can be critical. I also consider milk thistle to be a critical element for liver health since it helps protect and regenerate the liver.
All the best,

Great info...I also have an addition, though I am no expert I believe that plain old lemon juice is also very good for the liver and although it would seem acidic it actually helps the body to be alkaline once ingested...
This is confusing to people so I thought I would respond to clear this up. When the lemon juice reaches the intestines it over stimulates the release of alkaline bicarbonate stores, which is why lemon juice creates an alkalinizing effect.
My teas contain a mixture of different herbs every 2 weeks. I know herbs for liver and kidney support were used, but I don't think it was the specific ones you mention. I strongly believe in the power of herbs but I think there's something else going on with me. Maybe leaky gut, as you mention in my other post.
I just saw my herbalist earlier today. We agreed that after almost 4 months of herbs, I would take a 2 week break. The thinking is that maybe my body is becoming too used to the herbs and thus the progress has halted.
I am disappointed to say that I will try using steroid cream for 5 days after the 2 week break out of desperation and some peer pressure. I have barely left the house for over a month! I miss the forest, but it's still cold here and it hurts to put on clothing :(
My herbalist did mention emotional stress (tying in with the liver) as a trigger, especially to sudden onset of eczema in adulthood. I did go through some changes prior to eczema and I have never been good at expelling my emotions.
I will look into milk thistle as well. I have tried to take a close look at my eyes to read them but I would like the assistance of a professional. I can clearly see radii Solaris and nerve rings in both eyes.
Sad to see herbs being abused for money! The people are also to blame because these days herbs hold no power or significance to the average person. Hoping this will soon change.
