In this blog, I will share how taking Fucoidan can help and also if it is safe to take it while fasting. Following the research shows how it works along with the effects of Fucoidan while fasting for three days.

According to “Integrative medicine centered on Fucoidan (LMF), 3-day fast, limited sugar diet, stellate ganglion block (SGB), lung cancer, breast cancer 2 cases of colorectal cancer, showed improvement in the test reports of benign tumor cases” by Shinji Nishimoto. The stellate ganglion block of blood flow in the hypothalamus, where the autonomic nervous system, immune system, and hormone endocrine system are central, a combination of Chinese herbal medicine, Fucoidan, and a low-carbohydrate diet was used to improve the diet—showing five cases with, particularly good progress.

61-year-old woman, bronchial carcinoid; 63-year-old woman, stage II breast cancer; 28-year-old man, stage III colorectal cancer pelvic metastasis case; 87-year-old woman, stage II lung cancer; 73-year-old woman, stage I colorectal cancer is reported with some consideration.

Ketone body data showed an upward trend in 5 cases. Tumor shrinkage tended was observed in bronchial carcinoid cases and male colorectal cancer cases. The improvement tendency of tumor marker anti-p53 antibody was also observed in breast cancer cases and female colorectal cancer cases. In cases of breast cancer, arteriosclerosis and improvement of acceleration pulse waves were seen as well.

The latest PET scan in December 2018 showed no abnormalities. Four diseases, other than male colorectal cancer cases with an increasing tendency of serotonin in lung cancer cases.

In the example, the super-good hormone adiponectin tended to be higher. The measured value of CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) in Case 4 was as high as 600 or more.

However, the QOL is good, and despite having a life expectancy of half a year in this type of cancer, the life expectancy has been extended by more than two years.

Normal cells usually use glucose as an energy source, but when glucose is depleted, ketone bodies produced in the body can be used as alternative energy. On the other hand, it is well known that cancer cells cannot use ketone bodies as an energy source. From this, it is considered that the induction of ketone bodies by fasting and sugar restriction and the direct antitumor effect of the ketone bodies contribute to the improvement of the present symptoms.

Besides, the antitumor effect of adiponectin, which is increased by limiting carbohydrates, is also considered. Moreover, it is believed that the increase in oxygen utilization efficiency by autonomic nerve, immunity, hormone regulation, breathing method, qigong method, etc. by SGB therapy (complicated pain control treatment) also contributes to the antitumor effect. Additionally, the Fucoidan containing LMF (Fucoidan has various biological activities such as apoptosis induction, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal flora, improving impact.

Therefore, in conclusion, an integrative medicine approach can comprehensively impart these various effects on the patients, improving the symptoms, and prolonging the life of each case.

It can be concluded that it significantly contributed to the effect. However, as I explained about fasting and Fucoidan, I also suggest it is crucial that you should consult your doctor before you take up fasting.
