Papaya leaf juice is claimed to have reversed cancer in many people living on the Gold Coast in
Australia. Harold W. Tietze in his book Papaya The Medicine Tree, describes how to make the juice and
tells the stories of many cancer survivors who reportedly used the juice to get rid of their cancer.
The leaf contains beta-carotene, calcium, carpaine, fats, flavonols, niacin, papain, tannins, and vitamin C (in higher concentration in the leaf than in the fruit). The leaf, unlike the fruit, is not a source of the protein-dissolving enzyme papain, but the latex (sap) in the leaf stem is. Papain remains in leaf preparations that have been dried over low heat, but it may be destroyed in products that are dried at high heat.
