Does manuka honey have the attributes of a natural cancer vaccine? Part one

Honey as a natural cancer vaccine? Sounds funny?!

Being one of the most potent honeys in the world, manuka honey has enormous potential to help people with cancer.

And not just manuka honey.

But don’t think a honey-killing cancer cells solution is another anecdotal story. There are places and private hospitals that very few people know about. Maybe even in your town.

In there, honey has been applied for years along with propolis, germanium, and extracts of some plants to help people with cancer get back on their healthy side. And not just with cancer but many serious diseases.

People working there are not ordinary ‘kissing your a** BIG PHARMA’ MDs but pros who are prepared to do anything to help and save lives. Also, many molecular biologists work side by side with doctors.

It is difficult to kill a malignant cell while preserving a healthy one. But not impossible with the use of natural, unprocessed honey. And these people know that.

Honey as a natural cancer vaccine has the same effect on a wide range of malignant cells. On about a dozen cell lines that scientists have examined so far, it has been shown that honey shows a selective cytotoxic effect.

In addition to the selective effect on malignant cells, there are indications that its natural ingredients also affect the regeneration of damaged tissue.

HOW DOES CANCER DEVELOP?

Cancer can be a genetic disease caused by changes in genes that control how our cells function, especially how they grow and divide. The body typically eliminates cells with damaged DNA before they become cancerous.

But the body’s ability to do this declines as we age, but also when our immune system is down.

This is only partly why there is a higher risk of cancer in old age. Each person that has a tumor has a unique combination of gene changes, and as it continues to grow, additional changes occur.

Cancer is a global epidemic. 15 years ago, it was estimated there were 12,332,300 cancer cases, of which 5.4 million were in developed countries.

A rising number of people are seeking natural therapy, so honey cancer research has gained attention.

To better understand honey’s usefulness against cancer, we first need to understand the different factors that can cause cancer.

Cancer is caused by damage to the genome of cells. This damage can be inherited (genetic) or acquired throughout life by an unhealthy lifestyle.

Experts do not yet have all the answers to what causes cancer. However, specific characteristics, called risk factors, can increase the likelihood of developing cancer.

1.    Low immune status, e.g., due to chronic illness, obesity, and old age

2.    Chronic infections such as bacteria helicobacter pylori

3.    Chronic inflammation

4.    Chronic non-healing ulcers

5.    Accumulation of toxic oxidative stress and free radicals

6.    Genetic inheritance (thank you very much, relatives)

7.    Air pollution or depleted uranium

What is the difference between cancer cells and normal cells?

Cancer cells differ from normal cells in many ways. For example:

Cancer cells grow without signals telling them to grow, while normal cells only grow when they receive such alerts.

Ignore signals that usually tell cells to stop dividing or to die (a process known as programmed cell death or apoptosis).

They penetrate nearby areas and spread to other parts of the body. Normal cells stop growing when they encounter other cells, and most normal cells do not move around the body.

They can hide from the immune system. This is because the immune system typically eliminates damaged or abnormal cells.

They can trick the immune system into helping cancer cells stay alive and grow. For example, some cancer cells “convince” immune cells to protect the tumor instead of attacking it.

Accumulate multiple changes in their chromosomes, such as duplications and deletions of parts of chromosomes. Some cancer cells have double the normal number of chromosomes.

They rely on different types of nutrients than normal cells. This allows cancer cells to grow faster.

Honey as a natural cancer vaccine, but it is full of sugar?!!

Understanding the sugar in honey…

Though sugar is a dominant ingredient in honey which itself is food for malignant cells, it is crystal clear that its beneficial effect as an anti-cancer agent raises your eyebrows.

In this case, sugar works differently.

Cancer cells cannot use sugar for growth because honey ingredients destroy them. So, sugar goes towards cancer cells (which consume fifteen times more glucose than healthy cells), and with the help of honey ingredients enter the cancer cells…Honey as a natural cancer vaccine.

It is considered the perfect product that nature gave us and one of the most effective natural medicines.

It contains numerous vitamins, minerals, and almost all amino acids usually found in pollen and nectar.

Also, it contains various kinds of phytochemicals with high phenolic and flavonoid content.

As free radicals and oxidative stress scavenger, honey plays a significant role in stopping the formation of cancers thanks to its substantial antioxidant property.

3 scientific evidence on why honey could be a natural cancer vaccine

#1 Honey is a natural immune booster

Honey stimulates the production of antibodies in everyone who takes a spoon a day (in primary and secondary immune responses).

Honey also stimulates inflammatory cytokine production from monocytes (a type of white blood cells that live in your blood and tissues where they wait and destroy germs). 

The kinds of honey that do this perfectly are manuka, pasture, and jelly bush honey.

Consumption of 80 g of natural honey for 21 days raised prostaglandins level in patients with AIDS compared with normal subjects. (1)

(Al-Waili et al., 2006). Prostaglandin is a hormone that our body secretes when it needs to fix something (injury or infection).

This is why patients with weak immune systems are at risk of developing cancer. Also, it explains why people with diabetes and HIV patients are more at risk of developing epithelial and non-epithelial cancers. 

Such individuals are also at risk of developing multiple chronic infections.

Although age per se is not an essential determinant of cancer risk, aging is also associated with a reduced immune system. By the year 2050, 27 million people are projected to have cancer. (Bray and Moller, 2006)

Can you imagine that?

I can’t, and I won’t, and neither should you.

Therefore, improving your immune status must be your long-term plan to prevent cancer formation. And honey has such potential.

#2 Honey is a natural anti-inflammatory agent

Short-term inflammation is beneficial, but a long-term one could be detrimental to health. Honey is a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

Babies with diaper dermatitis have improved drastically after only 7 days of using honey, olive oil, and beeswax. (Al-Waili, 2005)

Honey also effectively manages dermatitis and psoriasis Vulgaris (Al-Waili, 2003).

8 out of 10 patients with dermatitis and five of eight patients with psoriasis showed significant improvement after 2 weeks of honey-based ointment.

Local application of honey could help people that have had problems for years.

A case report showed that a patient with chronic dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa for 21 years healed with honey-impregnated dressing in 15 weeks after conventional creams failed.

Manuka honey group and control group took part in research to see improvements in oral health (gingivitis, periodontal disease) and saw improvements (English et al., 2004).

How about cancer?

Chronic inflammatory process has a risk of cancer development. Examples of cancers developing in patients suffering from chronic inflammatory processes include developing colorectal carcinomas, Ulcerative Colitis and Chron’s disease, autoimmune thyroiditis…

So the conclusion is that honey restricts inflammation, whether the cause is diaper rash or the development of colorectal carcinomas. (2)

#3 Honey is natural antimicrobial

There are three main mechanisms by which infections can cause cancer, and that is where they promote carcinogenesis.

·        Persistent infection 

·        Transformation of normal cells into cancer cells

·        Infectious agents, such as human immunodeficiency virus 

Honey acts as a gremlin in cancer cell division machinery, where disturbs its mechanism (Henriques et al., 2009). However, we also know that cancer likes and thrives in an acidic, rich environment. Interestingly, honey is stronger in acidic media rather than alkaline or neutral.

When honey was added (2-5%) to bacterial cultures, the growth was delayed, and when there was 10 to 20% of honey, mycobacteria stopped growing. (Al-Waili et al., 2005)

Yes, chronic infections have a risk for cancer development.

Bacteria that have proven associations with cancer are:

·        Helicobacter pylori infections (stomach cancer).

·        Ureaplasma urealyticum (prostate cancer).

·        Chronic typhoid infection (gall bladder cancer).

So watch out for those.

In the end …

One myth says, “We can send a man to the moon and a rocket around Jupiter, so why can’t we cure cancer?” 

In reality, this question highlights the common misconception that cancer is a single disease. Instead, cancer is a group of diseases. 

Each disease has a unique biological record, which very different circumstances can cause. For example, cancer cells that start in the breast differ from cancer that begins in the lungs. 

But they all have common ‘soft spots. It’s just that hardly anyone talks about it.

Manuka Natural is here to talk about it.
