* [[Berberine]] (e.g. in [[Oregon Grape]]) could be useful for treating cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus, or HPV. By blocking the expression of cancer-related proteins and transcription factors in HPV-infected cervical cells, berberine targets both viral and patient factors that contribute to cervical cancer’s development and grow.
*[[Shiitake]] mushrooms contain an alpha-glucan called active hexose correlated compound (AHCC), which is a mixture of amino acids, polysaccharides and minerals. This compound, which appears to be unique to shiitake, is well known for its anti-tumor benefits. With this information in mind, the researchers sought to determine whether AHCC could also eradicate human papillomavirus (HPV), an extremely common sexually-transmitted infection which, if left untreated, can cause women to develop cervical cancer.
* [[Fenugreek]] : Various animal experiments have shown fenugreek inhibits liver cancer cells. In China, fenugreek is employed as a pessary in the treatment of cervical cancer.
* [[Lycopodium]] (homeopathy): Recent research shows that highly diluted Lycopodium Clavatum remedies (LC-5C and LC-15C) are capable of inducing 'apoptosis' (cellular death) in cervical cancer cells, signifying their possible use as a supportive medicine in cancer therapy.
* [[DIM]] has been shown to exert control over cancer cell growth in breast, uterine, cervical, ovarian, and colon cancer.
