Where to buy Soursop in Georgia?

If there are Haitians or Spanish in the area, chances are you will find it there.
In a Haitian store, it will be in the produce section.  In any regular American grocery store, you'll find it in the freezer section where all the frozen ethnic foods are.  It will be under the name Guanabana (spanish).  They also have the papaya.  And they are very good when you make them into a smoothie with your blender.
You may add milk, strawberies, yogurt, and it's delicious.... It'll take you back to tropical Haiti - The only difference is, you have electricity and you don't have to mash it with a spoon to blend it :)

They also have it this juice in a can, but the canned juice doesn't have the "smoothie" consistency that we're used to in Haiti.

do you know any haitian home remedies... for common things such as a cold, or head aches, or cold sores etc.

Haitian home remedies will most likely come from plants, leaves or the tree bark itself.
If you're interested in Haitian Home remedies, there are still a few good books on this subject, especially at Haitian bookstore such as Libreri Mapou in Miami.

I can only tell you of remedies that my parents have given me and some that I still use.
For colds they've boiled orange tree and lemon tree leaves, added honey
They've also crushed pieces of onions with honey.  Makes nice onion juice.  It worked for me.

For headaches, they use soursop leaves, boil it and make it in to a warm compress around the head.  And then we drink bazilik, orange tree, fèy melis tea by boiling their leaves.

We've used cut up lemons to clean and even debrid small open sores, but I don't remember what they used for cold sores.
