History of Paw Paw

History of Paw Paw


Very recently the best quality controlled herbal company in the world, Nature’s Sunshine, released a new herbal product called Paw Paw. Paw Paw has a 20 year history of research behind it. It was Dr. Jerry McLaughlin, an Emeritus Professor of Pharmacognosy from Purdue University, who discovered that the twigs of the Indian Banana tree, Asimina Triloba, harvested in the spring time contain a potent active substance called acetogenins. These acetogenins have the ability to regulate what takes place at the cellular level. This then makes Paw Paw a powerhouse for fighting cancer and other cell anomalies. Dr. McLaughlin tracked more than 100 cancer patients with various cancers who used Paw Paw, in a one year period. Two of the most promising results were significant reductions in tumor sizes and a significant reduction in tumor antigen levels. Very few side effects were reported and patients undergoing chemotherapy reported no hair loss, no bone marrow depression and no G.I. bleeding. Other side benefits experienced by patients were cold sores, shingles, toe nail fungus, acne, athlete’s foot, eczema and psoriasis. Paw Paw has the ability to clean out fungus, harmful microbes, viruses and parasites. Dr. Duarte states that the over 50 acetogenins found in Paw Paw “are very powerful anti-tumor and interestingly enough, antipesticidal compounds.” Paw Paw fights cellular abnormalities.
