Tualang Honey, The Potential Anti Cervical Cancer Functional Food

By Kyle J. Norton

Scientists may have located a natural whole food for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer with no side effects, some studies found.

Cervical cancer is the chronic condition caused cell growth disorderly in the tissue of the cervix.

Most cases of cervical cancer start on the cells in the surface of the inner lining tissue of the cervix.

Most patients at this stage of cervical cancer do not experience any symptoms.

As cancer progresses, most patients may experience the symptoms of blood spots or light bleeding between or following periods, longer than usual and heavy menstrual bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, particularly, bleeding after intercourse, douching.

At this stage, cervical cancer can travel a distance away to cause metastasis to other healthy tissue and organs through fluids and blood circulation.

If you have experienced some of the above symptoms, please check with your doctor to rule out the cervical cancer possibility.

Although certain risk factors such as having many sexual partners, long-term use of birth control pills (oral contraceptives),  early engaging in sexual contact are associated with the onset of the disease, Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of major cause that has been under intensive investigation.

Belief or not, there are over 100 different HPV types have been identified and classified as high risk in almost all cervical cancers (>99.7%).

Out of this 100 different HPV, HPV16 is the most prevalent type in both low-grade disease and cervical neoplasia.

Dr. Doorbar J at the National Institute for Medical Research, said, "Most cervical cancers arise within the cervical transformation zone at the squamous/columnar junction, and it has been suggested that this is a site where productive infection may be inefficiently supported"

"Cancers usually arise in individuals who fail to resolve their infection and who retain oncogene expression for years or decades. In most individuals, immune regression eventually leads to clearance of the virus, or to its maintenance in a latent or asymptomatic state in the basal cells".

These results clearly stage, most of the initiation of HPV infection is stopped by the immune system first line of defense before the virus penetrates through the cervical cell membrane on the surface of the inner lining.

In other words, women who have a weakened immune system are at substantial risk to the disease.

Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.

The rich golden liquid is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.

On finding a natural ingredient or whole food for the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, researchers examined the Tualang honey (Agromas) anti-cancer effect.

Tualang honey (Agromas) (TH) were applied with increasing doses of TH (1-10%) for up to 72 h to the human breast (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and cervical (HeLa) cancer cell lines; as well as in the normal breast epithelial cell line, MCF-10A.

At concentrations (EC(50)) of 2.4-2.8%., Tualang honey increased in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage from the cancer cell membranes, an indication of cytotoxicity to all three cancer cells. 

Furthermore, application of TH also reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψ(m)) in response to energy storage in the cancer cell lines after 24h of treatment. 

TH also stimulated the proteins associated with cancer cells apoptosis.

The evidence suggested that TH has significant anticancer activity against human cervical cancer cell lines.

Additionally, in the evaluation of bee bread (BB), a fermented mixture of plant pollen, honey, and bee saliva against HeLa (cervical carcinoma) cancer cells line, researchers found that application of BB displays a moderate activity in the inhibition of the cancer cell line through cytotoxicity with doses ranging from >400 to 68 µg/mL).

The inhibition of the human cervical cancer cell line was attributed to the main phenolic compounds also found abundantly in the Tualang honey.

The in-depth analysis suggested that BB induces HeLa cell death through stimulating the function of free radicals in the induction of oxidative stress to cause cytotoxicity.

Taken altogether, honey or Tualang honey may be considered a functional food for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for the treatment of cervical cancer.
