By Hye Jin Boo et al. Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide, has various biological activities, such as anticancer, antiangiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanisms of fucoidan on anticancer activity have not been fully elucidated. The anticancer effects of fucoidan extracted from Undra pinnatifida on human lung carcinoma cells were tested and studied (Examination Method and […]

By Natumi Araya et al. Human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) is a human retrovirus that causes HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HMA/TAP) and adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). A higher viral load in individuals with HTLV-1 infection increases their risk of developing HAM/TSP and ATL. Reduction of the number of HTLV-1 infected cells is very important, […]
The most common neurodegenerative diseases are Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Nearly five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease and a half million with Parkinson’s disease. So, in this blog, I want to explain how people can prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, and what to do after getting such neurodegenerative disorders. In the US, […]
In this blog, I would like to discuss fucoidan and autoimmune disease. I believe it is not well-known that fucoidan is capable of balancing and backing immunity. Immune balance is crucial for the body. However, the immune balance may collapse due to food, environment, and lifestyle. According to Dr. David J. Bilstrom, autoimmune disease is […]
By Hang-Eun Lee et. al., Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide present in brown algae, has been identified to have multiple biological effects such as antitumor, immunomodulation, antiviral and anticoagulation. The effects of cancer cells are preventable in regard to the secondary fucoidan effect. In this study, we evaluate the effect of fucoidan on human […]
By Guang Yang et. al,. According to lymphoid malignancies, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of high-grade non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Based on the pm gene expression profiling, DLBCL has been classified into three groups: Germinal center B-cell (GCB), Activated B-cell (ABC) and Primary mediastinal B-cell (PMBL), with a minority […]
Finally, I would like to discuss fucoidan benefit and cancer. Fucoidan is a dietary supplement, not medication, but it can help to fight with cancer in physically and mentally without any side effects. I have already shared the research and information on fucoidan benefits along with the side effects of conventional cancer treatment. There must […]
I would like to discuss in this time about radiation damage and fucoidan effect. As you know that radiation therapy is one of the cancer conventional treatment, however radiation will cause quite bit of latent damages. Especially, children will have radiation damage permanently, because radiation damage will be caused cells death, and will affect immune […]
Do you know that fucoidan has the power to increase the effectiveness of chemo-drugs? In this blog, I am going to discuss how fucoidan increase effects of the chemo-drugs by using an example of breast cancer such as estrogen, progesterone receptor-positive, HER2 negative (MCF-7) and triple-negative (MDA-MB231) breast cancers. The following observations are according to […]
This time I will talk about how fucoidan alleviates the side effects of chemotherapy. First of all, I would like to explain about anti-cancer agents that are classified into “cytotoxic anti-cancer agent” and “molecular-targeted therapeutic agent” depending on the method and origin of action. “Cytotoxic agents” are further classified into antimetabolites, alkylating agents and anti-cancer […]
