If my very very brief research is correct it looks like graviola is the Portuguese name for the Guanábana fruit which is considered dangerous in large quantities due to it's high levels of annonacin.

On researching annonacin it apears to be "a chemical of the class of acetogenins"
Annonacin is reported to block Mitochondrial Complex I (NADH-Dehydrogenase), which is responsible for the conversion of NADH to NAD and the build-up of a proton gradient over the mitochondrial inner membrane. This effectively disables a cell's ability to generate ATP via an oxidative pathway, ultimately forcing a cell into apoptosis or necrosis.
Apoptosis is the process of "programmed cell death" or PCD.

Now... I'm no DR. but maybe if this graviola infusion actually IS helping... it has something to do with the annonacin causing PCD to the cancer cells?

It is a very interesting topic, and I will be doing more research into it, I'll check back here with the findings.
