Oral Administration of Tualang and Manuka Honeys Modulates Breast Cancer Progression
Tualang and Manuka honeys exhibit antibreast cancer activity.
(NOTE: Tualang Honey is better than Manuka Honey... Tualang outperformed Manuka in every test.)
We believe that current findings should facilitate further research to investigate whether Tualang Honey and Manuka Honey could synergize with or be a substitute for chemotherapeutic drugs given at suboptimal doses for cancer therapy.
The gross morphology and histology of the breast tumours of rats in Tualang Honey and Manuka Honey treated groups compared with the nontreated positive control.
The majority of tumours in nontreated control group were of grade III with increased heterogeneous nuclei formation and mitotic activity... compared with the tumours in Tualang Honey and Manuka Honey treatment groups which were of grade I and II.
- Group 1 = bearing breast cancer but received no honey treatment
-
Group 2 = bearing breast cancer and received TH: Tualang honey (BEST)
- Group 3 = bearing breast cancer and received MH: Manuka honey
Tualang Honey treated breast cancer tumors better than Manuka Honey.
Grading of tumours in groups treated with Tualang Honey and Manuka Honey compared with the tumours of nontreated control.
- Group 1 (Control): 47 Tumors
- Group 2 (Tualang Honey): 23 Tumors
- Group 3 (Manuka Honey): 33 Tumors
