In July 16 and 23, 2007, we told the story of how Raymond Kirlew, of St Ann, helped to nurse his wife, Yvonne, back to health when she had cancer of the lymph nodes.
It was a poignant love story that softened the heart of the toughest man, but it took a bittersweet turn last year when they were told the cancer had come back. "She has been going for tests routinely every three to four months to make sure the cancer (lymphoma) remains in check. Up to March 2009, Yvonne's test results were basically the same. In fact, we went on a Caribbean cruise with two friends in April 2009," Raymond Kirlew said.
But between December 2008 and March last year, Yvonne was feeling pain and having frequent nerve spasms in her limbs. From March 22 to 26, she underwent a series of tests. Continued medication and shock treatment for the nerves that were damaged by chemotherapy were suggested. They decided against the shock treatment. However, the pain and the spasms in the legs continued, accompanied by night sweats.
More tests and examinations, including a brain/body CT scan, were done between June 23 and 28 in New York.- Cancer movements were detected and a detailed positron emission tomography (PET) scan was recommended to be done as soon as possible. By now, Yvonne was feeling pain in her limbs, abdomen, groin and lymph nodes. July 28 to August 2 saw her undergoing the PET scan and blood tests. The PET scan is a unique type of imaging test that helps doctors see how the organs and tissues inside the body are actually functioning. That examination, done at the end of July, was conclusive. Cancer was once again invading Yvonne's lymph nodes. And to find out how fast it was moving in order to determine when chemotherapy would have started, the doctor ordered another scan. Slow movement of the cancer cells was detected. A month's monitoring and administering of chemotherapy as needed were suggested. Cancer returns "Together, Yvonne and I started contemplating what arrangements to make regarding starting and continuing the chemotherapy treatment," Ray said. "When Yvonne started to have restless nights and cold sweat, I feared the worst. I also prayed for the cancer not to come back. Then my fears turned into my worst nightmare. The dreaded cancer had returned. I was so devastated. We all know that when cancer returns it is harder to treat." Yet, things took a strange and positive twist when Yvonne's sister sent Ray an email. The message contained information claiming that the leaves, stems and bark of the soursop tree could cure cancer. "I had also started seeing several articles on this miracle fruit and set about reading and researching these claims. One claim said that it was 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy and did not harm good cells," Ray said "I got so convinced of its power, I advised Yvonne to try it. It couldn't hurt, I thought. Moreover, since she has hypertension and nerve spasms, it should help as I read that it also lowers blood pressure, and repairs damaged nerves. I thought, 'This is too good to be true'," he recalled. Fact or fiction, Ray set about to cure his wife once again. "He convinced me to try it; I consented.
He boiled leaves and bark from a tree in our yard. The taste was awful and I hardly slept due to all the pain I was in. I decided not to take any more, but after Ray suggested that the pain may have been a result of the soursop fighting the cancer, I continued to drink the mixture, sometimes diluting it with other juices to disguise the taste," Yvonne said. "After a while, it was easy to swallow without dilution. After taking the soursop tea about three times a day, the pain started to subside and she got less and less spasms over time. After a month, she felt no pain in the areas where they once were prevalent," Ray added. There was no room for complacency, however, and more check-ups took place fromSeptember 20 to 24 in order to decide when the chemotherapy would have started. Good news A call from the doctor to hear the results of the lab tests did not come as expected after three days. Two more days, and nothing. Afraid of hearing some bad news, Yvonne didn't call either, but Ray did. And a baffled (häkeltynyt) doctor told him the cancer movement had stopped. Joy, unspeakable joy, was what the lovebirds felt. "Yvonne returned in November 2009 for a check-up. I visited both doctors (oncologist and general practitioner) with her, bringing some soursop leaves along to show them what Yvonne had been drinking. The GP was amazed that no chemotherapy was necessary. A blood test was ordered for Yvonne. The doctor called three days later to advise that Yvonne's blood was perfect... So far (January), she is still without pain.
She is due for a check-up in March," Ray told The Gleaner. For now, Yvonne has no doubt that her seemingly cancer-free system is due to the 'medicine' extracted from the bark and leaves of the soursop tree in her yard. "I had suspected in the past that the soursop had some medicinal worth because whenever I occasionally drank the fruit juice, I became drowsy and my blood pressure fell significantly. "Having myself experienced the other amazing properties of this remarkable plant, I have become a believer in its inherent, God-given properties. I am hopeful that the cancer will eventually be defeated and, if and when it does return, that it can at least be halted, thereby extending life,"Yvonne said. A quick search on the Internet revealed many links making claims about the healing powers of the soursop tree. There is even an article published in The Gleaner on Thursday, June 25, last year, about such claims. The headline is 'Soursop: a natural cancer killer' and the source is listed as
http://graviola.fi/Graviola-10000-kertaa-tehokkaampi-kuin-Adriamycin/ (PMID: 8991944) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8991944 "When I got the news about the soursop treatment I was over the moon with joy. As of now, the cancer has been stopped in its track; both of us are very happy. Every day we pray that this dreaded disease does not return, but if it does, we just have to face it head-on. As a husband and a friend, I'm committed to help Yvonne defeat this monster, with God's help,"Raymond declared in retrospect. // paul.williams@gleanerjm.com
Clinically diagnosed with lymphatic cancer, also refereed to as Hodgkin’s lymphoma, in late 2002, Yvonne Kirlew had undergone an excruciating round of chemotherapy which only left her with pain and nausea in her attempts to eliminate the cancer cells.
Instead of helping Yvonne get better, the chemotherapy was making her worse. She went as far as actually planning her own funeral. However, Ray Kirlew, Yvonne’s husband was determined that the woman he planned to spend the rest of his life with was not going to leave his side. He nursed her back to health and by December 2004, it appeared that Yvonne was cancer-free.
A Jamaican based newspaper known as the Gleaner, shared their story in a two-part program in July 2007. An updated story was released in January 2010 with the news that the cancer had returned between December 2008 and March 2009.
Yvonne became ill once more and the dreadful chemotherapy was recommended. It was around this time that Ray received an email pertaining to the cancer-curing qualities of the soursop tree. After more research, he was transfixed by what he discovered. At the time, he did not possess any legitimate proof, yet he still set out to create the leaves and bark of the soursop tree into a remedy which would eventually kill Yvonne’s cancer cells.
Following much persuasion from Ray, Yvonne consumed the remedy and became sicker at the start, and declined to consume any more, but Ray encouraged her to do so. Following nearly a month of remaining on the remedy, Yvonne’s health improve enormously. Amazingly, according to examinations in September 2009 to ascertain once chemotherapy would begin, actually displayed that the spread of the cancer cells had stopped.
Several doubters, some of which stated it was just a matter of time before the cancer comes back. Others doubted Ray’s intellect, or lack thereof, for supplying the soursop remdy to his wife, considering the notion that he is not a medical practitioner. However, Ray says once the story was released, numerous individuals, especially medical doctors themselves, have connected with him, searching for knowledge on just how to produce the remedy.
Ray states, “Everyone who has contacted me concerning this soursop treatment, I have never ever asked for a penny, nor have I got a penny, and was not expecting any. I know for a fact that this thing has saved my wife, and whosoever wants to know how to make it, I would be happy to give them that information.”
Living without Cancer
Ray spoke of a story of a woman he knew personally, who was diagnosed with lung cancer and was literally sent home to die once the cancer had spread to additional organs. Currently, she is living her life cancer-free after consuming the soursop remedy.
Ray and Yvonne possess zero regrets. They are certain that Yvonne is currently alive and well due to the capabilities of the soursop tree.
Yvonne has some choice words to say to her naysayers. “I would say to them that the same way chemotherapy is used in treating cancer patients, it was more than likely discovered by people who were trying to find a cure. By testing these treatments over a long period of time, people were healed, even temporarily … . I am one of the lucky ones, I think, because I tried something that may not have been proven, may not be in the medical books, but I tried it and it works for me.”
It appears to have worked wonders for Yvonne in numerous other ways as well. “I also had a problem with my blood pressure. I have a tendency to have high blood pressure, and whenever I take the soursop drink, my pressure is down … . I am convinced that the soursop helps to kill the cancer cells, lower my blood pressure, and to repair the damaged nerves,” she said.
In 2003, the chemotherapy that she had undergone had damaged some of her nerves. She began having issues with her coordination.
It is about ten years since Yvonne, whose mother, father and brother had died of cancer, was diagnosed, and nearly 2 years since she began consuming the soursop mixture. Recently, she traveled to New York to have additional tests performed on her. A week prior to her leaving, she experienced some pain within some of her major lymph nodes and was slightly nervous upon leaving the island. Now that she has returned, she has a clean bill of health, and the pain has disappeared.
She currently has the dress she had anticipated to spend eternity in. It’s located inside her closet, still unworn, clean, and stylish. The only difference from today compared to the day she bought it, she has no plans to wear it anytime soon. And even so, she said it might just be too small.
Approximately 90% of the world’s population struggle from vitamin D deficiency today. This health concern is a global epidemic. In fact, a leading authority on vitamin D research, Dr. Michael Holick predicts that vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical problem worldwide. (5)
People are spending an increased amount of time working indoors, kids are increasingly spending less time playing outside, skin cancer and government authorities have us lathering on sunscreen and a variety of influences contribute to the reduced consumption of vitamin D intake from food.
Vitamin D deficiency is harmful to health in any reduced levels and increases the risk of diseases including cancer and disorders such as osteoporosis. (1)
Essential for Brain Health
Researchers have shown that the central nervous system contains vitamin D receptors. These receptors are also found in the hippocampus region of the brain which is responsible for both emotion and memory (2). It is critical that vitamin D binds to these receptors in order to regulate enzymes located in the cerebrospinal fluid and the brain in order to support:
Neurotransmitter production
Nerve growth
Synaptic density
Healthy vitamin D levels are required to protect nervous tissue against oxidative stress, modulates a normal immune response and is also involved in maintaining the homeostatic processes involving intracellular phosphorus and calcium concentration. It is especially critical to receive optimal vitamin D during neonatal development because its deficiency is linked to an increased risk for diseases of the central nervous system including multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia. (2, 3)
Aids in Neurological Protection
Another epidemic health problem we face around the world today relates to the decline in cognitive function. This concern is evident in individuals with Parkinson disease, dementia and other neurological degenerative diseases.
One clinical study presented findings that people with low levels of the active form of vitamin D had reduced neuroprotection and loss of brain development. Adequate vitamin D levels are essential to optimal detoxification processes including support for promoting the antioxidant glutathione and also decreasing levels of nitric oxide in the brain and overall support for the survival of cells. (4)
Another study released in 2010 showed that people who have vitamin D deficiency were at an increased risk by 42% to have cognitive impairment. Those individuals who were classified as severely deficient in vitamin D were at an increased risk of 394% and more likely to present with symptoms of impaired cognitive function. A study analyzing the cognitive performance of more than 3,100 men throughout eight European countries found evidence that men with low vitamin D levels showed impaired thought processing speed (6). (4)
Vitamin D and Cancer Stem Cells
Roughly 10,000 cancer cells are generated by the body every single day (7). One of the most common factors contributing to the ability for these cancer stem cells to proliferate and invade new tissue is D3 deficiency. There are a variety of influences that have resulted in vitamin D being one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in our society today, which has only fueled the growth of cancer as the nemesis of our time.
Our society relies heavily upon pharmaceutical drugs, many of which can devastate the ability for vitamin D to successfully convert into its bioavailable form. This concern added to limited exercise, decreased time spent outdoors, high sugar consumption, poor nutrition lacking trace minerals and amino acids and chronic stress produces a favorable environment for cancer stem cells to thrive.
Vitamin D Vital to GcMAF
Researchers propose that supplementing 20,000 IU of D3 daily may be a potent and safe therapy to limit systemic inflammation and inhibit the development of cancer (8). GcMAF is a powerful immune supporting protein that demands a steady supply of D3. GcMAF activity is essential to a healthy immune system and can also assist in the destruction of tumors entirely. (7)
In fact, healthy vitamin D levels are one of the most important nutrients that benefit a baby during a woman’s pregnancy. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with autoimmuneproblems and considering that cancer is a multifactorial disease, optimal vitamin D levels are not worth compromise during neonatal development. Throughout fetal development, D3 supplementation supports: (9)
Reduced inflammatory secretions by natural killer cells
Anatomical growth and development of fetus
Neuroprotection (protection of the central nervous system)
Neurogenesis (generation of new brain cells)
Neuroplasticity (cognitive function and emotional pathways)
GcMAF Protects You Against Cancer
Epidemiological studies support that people who are deficient in vitamin D have a higher risk for developing an immune-related condition like chronic infections, metabolic complications such as type 1 diabetes, and autoimmune diseases (3).
Receiving and maintaining a healthy dose of vitamin D daily supports the synthesis of GcMAF. This is a tremendous therapeutic strategy to prevent cancer cell growth from occurring in the prostate. Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPAR) is a receptor found in the prostate which is found to support tumor metastasis in its presence (10). Evidence shows that GcMAF inhibits the presence of this pro-cancer receptor and therefore inhibits cancerous activity.
GcMAF has also been shown in many studies to reduce concentrations of nagalase. Cancer cells produce the enzyme nagalase which promotes viral infections and suppresses activated macrophage activity from destroying infected cells. Patients with high levels of nagalase include individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), melanoma, as well as prostate, breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer. GcMAF stimulates the natural defense pathways of the immune system, reduces nagalase production and therefore supports healthy macrophage activity. (10)
GcMAF Therapy Destroys Cancer
Neither physicians nor scientists alike completely understood the critical role and benefits that optimal vitamin D3 levels provide to human physiology and pathology until the past decade. There has been zero evidence suggesting any toxicity concerns for the use of D3 to modulate GcMAF activity and suppress cancer since research from 2007. What we know today is that vitamin D elevates GcMAF concentrations and provides the following anti-cancer mechanisms: (11)
Boost macrophage activity
Increase in lymphocytes to normal levels
Increases platelet and red blood cell count
Stimulate cancer cell apoptosis (“cell death”)
25% Reduction in tumor size in less than 1 week

1,000,000 Participants were analyzed in one alone study that found an association between high calcitriol concentration and a low incidence of colorectal cancer. In other words, there is an inverse relationship between the concentration of vitamin D and the risk for colon and rectal cancer.
Data shows that for every 10 ng/ml decrease of vitamin D in a person’s blood, there is a significant increased risk of colorectal cancer to that individual. (12)
Vitamin D and Prostate Cancer
The second most leading cause of cancer related deaths in North American men is prostate cancer. Radiation therapy is the primary treatment and many fail to respond to this conventional method. D3 is not only important in balancing the calcium balance in bones but it also shows anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells in glands such as the prostate. The use of calcitriol to both inhibit the growth of prostate cancer cells but also their progression is validated in multiple studies. (11)
A full understanding of how vitamin D stops cancer is still lacking but shows promising evidence as a useful cancer treatment therapy. Researchers however do know that calcitriol inhibits cancerous cell growth, stimulates apoptosis, limits anti-apoptotic genes and their pathways that account for the quick proliferation and expression of prostate cancer cells.
Vitamin D and Breast Cancer
Scientists have found that vitamin D pathways used to treat breast cancer cells results in a 100% decline in cancer cell activity following a quick 7 day incubation period. These in vitro studies suggest that D3 enables the ability of GcMAF to attack and eradicate human breast cancer cells. Researchers believe that an interaction between amino acids allows GcMAF receptors to effectively bind and stimulate the invasion of macrophages around cancer cells. Such macrophages are then able to “eat” and eliminate breast cancer cells. (13)
Other evidence for alternative cancer therapy using the Swiss Protocol supports that D3 and GcMAF may be a powerful duo that removes a breast cancer activator oncogene known as Her-2 (7).
Healthy Sun Exposure
Vitamin D3 production is reliant on adequate amounts of sun exposure to the body. Healthy amounts of ultraviolet rays induce a stress response in the skin’s layers which converts the molecule called 7-dehydrocholesterol into the active D3 form which is readily available to the body. Calcitriol is active vitamin D that acts more like a hormone than a vitamin. In fact scientists debate that calcitriol is the most powerful hormone in the human body. It is responsible for activating more than 1,000 genes which is approximately 5% of the human genome (1).
Depending on the portion of body parts exposed, the color of your skin and the strength of the UV rays, the duration of sunlight that you should allow your skin to receive is different. People should ideally seek to receive 10,000 to 20,000 IU of D3 from sun exposure assuming 60% of the body is exposed to the sun.
Intentionally sun bath no less than 3 times per week according to the following recommendations based on your skin color.
Light skin = 15-20 minutes daily
Medium Skin = 25-30 minutes daily
Dark Skin = 40-45 minutes daily
Preventing carcinogenic activity in your skin before and after sun exposure is vital. Use moisturizers like coconut oil, aloe vera and green tea extract containing antioxidants.
Recommendations for Supplementation
Consider adding a D3 supplement to your daily regimen if you are unable to receive the recommended sun exposure. The supplement should contain 5,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3.
Practitioners generally recommend a dose of 1,000 to 2,000 IU vitamin D3 for every 25lbs of body weight. In order to prevent and slow cancer cell growth, the preferred range for vitamin D3 levels is between 70-100 ng/ml.
I recommend taking a vitamin D3 that also contains Vitamin K2 for the reasons you can read about here
