Fucoidan is very popular in Japan to apply to cancer patients.  It is a natural ingredient contained in the Okinawa's unique seaweed "Mozuku" ("Cladosiphon Okamuranus"), and is known to be effective in slowing or stopping the growth ofbad cells in biological research. 

Fucoidan, also known as Cladosiphon Okamuranus, is a complex sulfated polysaccharide of fucose. Some of the biological activities of Fucoidan are: 

  • protection from Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy side-effects
  • apoptosis in bad cells
  • activation of immune system
  • suppression of angiogenesis
  • anti-ulcer
  • anti-Helicobactorpylori
  • cholesterol-lowering
  • anti-allergic
  • skin-moisturizing
  • anti-inflammatory
  • collagen synthesis-stimulating

 
Clinic results showed that after applying Fucoidan and Fucoidan-mix:

  • NK cell activity in patients' spleen was increased
  • Growth of bad cell was suppressed

Agaricus Blazei is a special species of mushroom originated from Brazil. It is a choice edible, with a somewhat sweet taste and fragrance of almonds. The almond flavor is due to the presence of benzaldehyde, benzyl alcohol, benzonitrile, and methyl benzoate. Agaricus Blazei is so well-known for its purported medicinal properties.

Because of its high beta glucan content - higher than both Lingzhi (a.k.a. Reishi) and Shiitake mushrooms - Agaricus Blazei is to help to enhance patient's immunity during cancer therapy, and it becomes so popular in Japan. 

Superb effects of Agaricus Blazei during patient's cancer treatment include:

  1. Improve self defense mechanism to kill existing bad cells,
  2. Inhibit bad cell proliferation system,
  3. Help in discharging chemicals and guarding normal cells from turning into bad cells. 

Research results showed out that Agaricus Blazei increases number of immunity cells, in particular natural killer cells, thus improve patient's self-recovery ability to prevent disease. 

Agaricus Blazei is known to contain many research-proved effective ingredients:

  • beta-(1-3)-D-glucan
  • beta-(1-4)-a -D-glucan
  • beta-(1-6)-D-glucan
  • RNA compounds
  • Polysaccharide protein compounds
  • Xyloglucan

Agaricus Blazei also possesses unique features, including:

  • anti-oxidant,
  • anti-proliferative,
  • stabilizing or reducing blood lipids,
  • lowering cholesterol levels

Unlike many other health product manufacturers, Kanehide cultivates Agaricus Blazei mycelium within its own organic farm in Okinawa, guaranteeing zero heavy metal or pesticide residues. With patented extraction methods, essence from Agaricus Blazei is obtained and then treated with special enzymes to reduce bitterness and to increase readiness to be assimilate by the body, it also helps to prevent damage from gastric acid.

Okinawa people are very fond of cusines that may possess medicinal functions, an example is the well-known local Turmeric plants from the ginger family. Turmeric (or Ukon in Japanese) is a root plant, which looks very much like ordinary ginger, but with very different functions than ginger. Turmeric is rich in content of Turmeric essense oil and curcumin, as the two main active components.

As confirmed in many experiments, Turmeric excels in suppressing angiogenesis, specifically in prohibiting formation of blood vessels towards bad cells. Turmeric also serves functions including lowering cholesterol, improving gallbladder wellness, reducing blood fat, balancing blood pressure, reducing inflammation, improving gastrointestinal function, improving liver function, helping in liver detoxification (such as detoxifying alcohol), relieving from hangover, acting as antioxidant, healing wounds, and discharing toxins from the body. Many studies have indicated that Turmeric acts excellently in fighting liver-related problems, and its anti-bad cell effects is so prominent that it has been used regularly in Asia countries.

In general, Turmeric is a good kind of natural ingredients for inebriation and liver care, so suitable for those who drinks and eats heavily or works overnight, the proven hangover relieving effects makes Turmeric a very popular health supplement in social occasions in Japan. Serving a small bag of Turmeric will be a good help in anti-inebriation for the whole night of gathering, while another small bag of Turmeric in the day after may help in reducing cholesterol and protecting stomach, while the hangover relieving effects reduce headache and other after-effects.

 

 

Unlike many other health product manufacturers, Kanehide cultivates Spring Turmeric and Autumn Turmeric within its own JAS-certified organic farm in Okinawa, guaranteeing zero heavy metal or pesticide residues. With patented extraction methods, essence from Turmeric is obtained and then treated with special enzymes to reduce bitterness and to increase readiness to be assimilate by the body, it also helps to prevent damage from gastric acid.
