The Practical Smoothie of Blue berry, Carrot and Green tea for reduced risk and treatment of Cervical Cancer, Online Medical Literature Suggested

The smoothie for reduced risk and treatment of cervical cancer
Yield: 2 serving (about 8 ounce each)
3/4 cup blueberry
3/4 cup carrot
1 cup green tea drink (Make from 4 grams of green tea and a cup of hot water lipped for 5 minutes, and set aside for cooling to room temperature)

1. Place all ingradietns in a blender and puree about 1 minute
2. Blend on high speed about 1 minute or until the mixture is thick and the ice is well crushed. Add more green tea drink if needed
3. Serve immediately

The dream of finding the natural ingredient for prevention and treatment of cervical cancer without adverse effects in replacement of conventional medication has not been abated. Some ingredients have to discard due to it can achieve the same potent results in human trials.
Recent studies suggested that green tea(1), blueberry(5) and carrot(8) may have a potential and therapeutic value for reduced risk and treatment of cervical cancer probably due to theirs’ phytochemicals effect in ameliorated proliferation of cancer cell expression.

Cervical cancer is malignant neoplasm of the cervix uteri or cervical area caused by abnormal cells growth with alternation of cells DNA.
Green tea has been a precious drink in traditional Chinese culture and used exceptional in socialization for more than 4000 thousand years used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of variety of diseases, including cancers and heart diseases.(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major constituent of green tea, in human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 associated cervical cancer cell line, upregulated the genes expression in inhibition of cervical cancer cell growth through induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest(1).

The  study of green tea effect in cervical cancer suggested that EGCG reactivate known tumor-suppressor genes (TSGs) in HeLa cells by by targeting epigenetic alterations including DNA methylation(2).

Green tea extract, strongly inhibited the growth of HeLa xenografts(a cancer cell line) in animal model when used conjunction with lysine, ascorbic acid, proline and other nutrients(3).

Dr. Shan HM and the research team at the Peking University said,”…, catechins interfere with the proper subcellular localization of PLK1, lead to cell-cycle arrest in the S and G2M phases, and induce growth inhibition of several human cancer cell types, such as breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7), lung adenocarcinoma (A549), and cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa)”(4).

Blueberry, a flower plant, belong to the family Eriaceae and native to Northern America, was also found to process anti cancer properties, through its powerful antioxidant anthocyanin(5)
epidemiological studies suggested.
In the comparison of blueberry and blackcurrant juices on three tumor cell lines; B16F10 (murine melanoma), A2780 (ovarian cancer) and HeLa (cervical cancer), anthocyanin-rich fractions (ARFs) found in the juice exhibited antiproliferative effects through its antioxidant bioactive molecules(5).
According to the University of Mississippi research, ethanol extracts blueberry cultivars strongly inhibited CaSki and SiHa cervical cancer cell lines and MCF-7 and T47-D breast cancer cell line, through interfering to the direct-acting and metabolically activated carcinogens(6).
In fact, researchers at the Clemson University, in the evaluation of juice from strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry fruit showed that fresh juices and organic solvent extracts from the fruits exhibited the the formation of cancer is damage to the genome of a somatic cell producing a mutation in an oncogene or a tumor-suppressor genes(7).

Carrots with abundant carotenoid (α-carotene, β-carotene, and lutein/zeaxanthin) and tocopherol may also be considered for reducing risk and treatment of cervical cancer, according to the Xinjiang Medical Universit(8). As higher serum concentrations of some carotenoids and tocopherols are found to associate to lower risk cervical cancer among Chinese women(8).
Frequent intakes of carrot decreased the risk of cervical cancer(11).
In a total of 391 patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 1-2 lesions, high serum levels of alpha-tocopherol and medium level of serum beta-carotene were associate to the regression and progression of the diseases respectively(9).
The 32 women with incident cervical dysplasia, including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, CIN II, and CIN III/carcinoma in situ, and 113 control women with normal cervical cytology in case-control study suggested ,” among black women, lycopene and perhaps vitamin A may play a protective role in the early stages of cervical carcinogenesis”(10).

The combination of Blue berry, Carrot and Green tea smoothie may hold a key to reduce risk for women who are at higher risk of cervical cancer as well as for treatment of patient who have already developed the disease. Women with cervical cancer in any stage should drink as much as they can depending to the digestive toleration.
