Colon and rectum cancer
Fucoidan Cured Even Terminal Cancer!
The anticancer effect that stunned even the doctor
[Yuriko Hamuro, Housewife, female, 71 years old (a testimonial from the son), Ito City,
Sizuoka, Japan]
Two years ago, my mother suddenly said she wanted to go the hospital. Her condition must have
been very bad, because hated hospital. She said she had diarrhea, and that it wouldn’t stop. The
glow had disappeared from her face, and her weight had dropped by nearly eighteen pounds. It
seemed the simple act of standing would case her pain. Following her examination at the
hospital, my mother fell very ill and became bedridden. So, I went to get the result for her. The
diagnosis was terminal cancer of the large intestine. It was the opinion of the hospital that she
would “probably have five months left” and that she might “not be able to celebrate the New
Year”. The cancer had obviously spread near the peritonea, and the doctor recommended that my
mother be admitted to the hospital. He explained that the cancer would soon spread throughout
her body and cause unbearable pain.
However, I wanted her to take her last breath at home. I also thought she would hate staying in
the hospital. I didn’t tell my mother about diagnosis. I knew that telling her she had terminal
cancer would surely make her even more ill. Besides not telling her the truth, however, I didn’t
know what to do. When I consulted my wife, she suggested that we give her fucoidan, which
was a kind of health food. She had read about it in a women’s magazine, which reported that it
would be very effective in curing cancer. I wasn’t sure, but we decided to try fucoidan, anyway.
After all, there was nothing else we could do. My mother resused to take fucoidan at first, but we
forced her by telling her it would be good for her body. She took 10 capsules a day. By that time
she was probably vaguely aware that she had cancer. Within about two weeks, my mother
regained her appetite and her dry skin became better. Her skin color returned to light pink, as if
her circulation had returned. Prior to that time she could eat only soup and noodles, but after
taking fucoidan she started to eat fish and stewed vegetables.
She became visibly better with new day. Still, the doctor’s warning that she might not live to
celebrate the New Year was casting a dark shadow through my mind . After October, however,
her recovery began to accelerate. December came and went, and in January she was able to enjoy
a stroll by herself. I was amazed! I wanted her to get an in-depth examination at the hospital. My
mother didn’t want to go to the hospital, but we persuaded her and managed to have her checked.
After the examination, the doctor told us in a surprised tone, “ I can’t believe it! The cancer is
gone!” I’ll never forget the look of happiness on mother’s face. A year has passed, and my
mother is in great health. My wife began working part time a little while ago, so my mother is
now solely in charge of our dinners, from shopping for food and cooking. She prepares many sea
vegetable dishes, and we eat mekabu and mozuku almost every day. My only complaint is that I
must clean up the mekabu and mozuku dishes to keep her from going into her “did – you- forgetwhat – happened – to- me” speech.
After a series of metastases, I’ve finally seen the light!
[Fukiko Nozawa, Housewife, female, 57 years old, Nagoya City, Aichi, Japan]
When were you diagnosed with colon cancer?
Website: www.fucoidan.com.vn
I received the diagnosis in February 2000, so it was almost three years ago. I had difficulty
passing stool, but I though it was not such a big deal. However, I began seeing blood in my stool,
and rushed to a nearby clinic to get myself examined. As a result, they found a cancer in the
ascending colon. The affected area bulged quite badly in the colon, and there was only 5 mm (0.2
inch) of space left. I was operated on right away, and the cancer was fully removed, or at least
that’s what I was told. Come to think of it, that was the beginning of my battle with cancers.
What happened after the surgery?
Even before one month passed after the surgery, I began gaining weight again and I thought I
was doing well. I visited the hospital and received tests on a regular basis, and none of the tests
found problems. In hindsight, however, I may not have been taking care of myself properly,
because I have aging parents who need care and various other things kept me busy. Soon I began
feeling pain in my lower abdomen. First I thought it might be an inflammation of the bladder and
visited a women’s clinic. It was August of last year, around two and a half years after my “colon
cancer” surgery. The doctor told me that I had “ovarian cancer.” The cancer cells had spread to
the uterus. According to my husband who was shown my CT image, there was a big tumor of the
size of a soft ball. It was stage II cancer. I was scheduled for surgery again to remove my second
cancer. This time, they had to remove both the ovary and uterus. I remember I recovered pretty
quickly after the surgery. I was out of the hospital in just three weeks. After being discharged, I
began eating all sorts of heath food and supplements that they said were effective in preventing or
treating cancer, because honestly I had enough of cancer already. The products I tried included
agaricus and taheebo tea. I also visited the hospital to receive regular checkups. But obviously
they were not enough….
When did you find the next cancer?
It was April of this year. One of my regular checks at the hospitals found a liver cancer. I had to
undergo a surgery again to remove this one, too. I checked mysef into the hospital for detailed
examination. I didn’t want to have the third operation, but I had no choice. As it turned out, the
examination before the surgery found that the cancer had metastasized to my lung. The CT image
found five to six cancerous lesions, all around 5 mm (0.2 inch) in size. My surgery was
postponed, and I began taking anticancer drugs.
Were you staying in the hospital during the chemotherapy?
No. It was done by outpatient treatment. I visited the hospital only once a week and received an
intravenous drip injection for only three hours or so. Initially, they said that I had to continue
with the intravenous drip for six weeks. It was around this time, or just before I began my
chemotherapy, that my sister introduced me “fucoidan” through testimonials of users. Although I
was trying various types of health food an supplements, I didn’t know fucoidan. As I read the
testimonials, I somehow felt this energy welling up inside of me. I thought I shouldn’t give up
just yet. I quickly ordered fucoidan and began taking it. It was April.
How much did you take?
After reading the testimonials, I simulated the dosage of patients whose condition was similar to
mine. To be specific, I took two capsules in the morning, around the noon, and in the evening,
and seven capsules before I went to bed. That means I was taking a total of 13 capsules a day.
Website: www.fucoidan.com.vn
The book said that one of the benefits of fucoidan was that it would boost one’s immunity while
sleeping. So, I took a little more capsules before going to bed.
How did you feel after you began taking fucoidan?
As I said, I was supposed to receive the anticancer chemotherapy foe one cycle of six weeks.
However, the result of the test I took around two weeks into the therapy was very good. The
doctor told me that my liver cancer was getting better as the cancerous lesions were visibly
smaller. I was also told that the cancer cells that had metastasized to my lung became
“ambiguous”. By “ambiguous”, the doctor meant that the shadows of cancerous legions became
lighter and unclear.
Did you have any side effects from the anticancer drugs?
I knew various side effects of anticancer drugs, but frankly I don’t know if the side effects I
experienced were better or worse than those of other patients. I can only talk about how I felt,
except that this one time when I was receiving an intravenous drip of anticancer drugs in the
room with three beds, I had a chance to talk with other patients while in bed. Listening to what
they had to say about their experience, I thought I wasn’t feeling as bad as what the others said
about their side effects. People say patients taking anticancer drugs lose their hair and become
unable to eat because they always feel nauseous. However, the types of anticancer drugs vary
from one patient to another, and the degree and nature of side effects should be different, too. In
my case, I admit that I felt fatigue throughout my body and didn’t have any appetite on the day I
received an intravenous drip. However, I could still eat if I wanted to. I never thought that
anticancer drugs
were painful nor did I wish for the therapy to stop.
How did the therapy go?
Earlier tests some improvement in my cancer state, so in the next cycle that began in July, I
received my intravenous drip only once every two weeks unlike once a week in the previous
cycle. The progress has been very good since then, and now I’m receiving an anticancer drug
injection only once every three weeks. As of this moment, my lung cancer is gone, and the
cancerous lesions in my liver have shrunk to really small sizes. Looking back, I was always
tormented by some kind of cancer for the past two to three years. But now, I finally regained my
health and am getting better. I had two major operations, but had I known about “fucoidan”
sooner, I might nothave suffered this much, I cannot help but entertain this thought.
Advice from Dr. Tachikawa
Mrs. Nozawa had experienced a series of cancers including colon cancer, ovarian cancer, liver
cancer, and lung cancer, within a space of only three years or so. However, she overcame all of
them and we should praise her mental strength. Perhaps, her strong conviction that she would
“not be defeated by cancer” is the secret of the health she is enjoying today. She is still taking
“fucoidan” while continuing with her anticancer drug treatment. Without doubt, fucoidan is
reducing the side effects of anticancer drugs. Anticancer drugs find specific cells that are splitting
quickly and act on these cells. Accordingly, these drugs tend to affect gastric mucous membrane
and hair. Mrs. Nozawa says that she didn’t have any hair fall problem and that her nausea was
gone quickly. I suspect that “fucoidan” contributed a lot to the suppression of these side effects.
Website: www.fucoidan.com.vn
Also, Mrs. Nozawa received intravenous drops her anticancer drug treatment of her liver cancer,
and they successfully reduced her cancerous as part of lesions. Clinically speaking, this is an
amazing result. That’s because it is generally believed that not many anticancer drugs that can be
administered orally or through intravenous drip are very effective in treating “liver cancer.”
Probably this is a proof of the clear effect of “fucoidan” on liver cancer.
Rectum Cancer metastasized to Liver
I had a stage four cancer that metastasized to the liver,
But my health recovered quickly after the surgery and I’m now doing great,
[Kanako Nakamura, Housewife, female, 47 years old, Iizuka City, Fukuoka, Japan]
When did you notice something was wrong with your body?
It was probably around 2001, I saw blood in my stool and felt something might be wrong. I had
lost both my parents to “stomach cancer,” and I knew I had to “visit a hospital and get myself
examined as soon as possible.” However, I was busy with other things and somehow forgot about
it. Then, blood in my stool increased and my abdomen also began bloating.
When did you receive the first examination at a hospital?
It was November of 2003. They diagnosed me with “rectum cancer,” and I was hospitalized for
around one month. My tumor had a size of about 5 cm, so they had to shrink the tumor with
radiotherapy before taking it out by an operation. Some cancer cells had also metastasized to my
gallbladder. The doctor told me that my cancer was in stage four. At that time, I had little
knowledge about cancer and I wasn’t so concerned. I thought that I should stay in the hospital
and do whatever the doctor ordered me to do, and I would be fine. Later, I learned that a
metastasizing stage – four cancer was a fairly serious condition and the probability of the patient
dying from it was high. Probably because I knew about the seriousness of my cancer and was
nervous, after the surgery I lost all my energy an strength, and my mind was just blank.
How was your progress after the surgery?
The anticancer drug therapy began immediately after I was discharged from the hospital. Just as
the chemotherapy began, I also received some tests. It was sometime in February of 2004, not so
long after the New Year. The results found that my tumor marker level had risen and the
ultrasound revealed a cancerous lesion of around 6 cm in size in my liver. With these discoveries,
I was told to stop taking the anticancer drugs. The doctor said that my cancer was progressing
rapidly. The MRI I received at the end of February showed that the lesion had already grown to a
size of as big as 11 cm.
So you went back to the hospital?
Yes, I did, at the beginning of March, I had the right lobe of my liver removed on March 16. It
was a pretty major surgery that took out two – thirds of my liver. Incidentally, I had learned about
“fucoidan” earlier and began taking it through a drink – type product in February before the
surgery. I was drinking three bottles a day, and feeling that I was gaining some strength. Probably
Website: www.fucoidan.com.vn
because of the effect of fucoidan I healed very quickly after the surgery. Both my doctor and my
family were surprised to see me get better so soon.
What do you mean exactly?
After the operation, they again took me back to my room in a wheel chair. Compared to how I
felt after the last surgery on rectum cancer, however, there was a big difference. I was able to
stand on my own and move my body after the surgery on the same day. I had a good complexion
on my face and was discharged by the end of March. I thought that probably “fucoidan” was
playing a big part in my regaining physical strength so quickly. After all, I wasn’t taking it at my
last surgery.
How have you been after leaving the hospital?
They took out two-thirds of my liver, but I was told that the cancer might still come back. To
make sure, I received a therapy whereby they injected anticancer drugs directly into my liver. I
went to the hospital once a week to have an injection needle inserted, go back home, and come
back the next day to have the needle removed. It was quite troublesome, but the treatment didn’t
last long. Partly because I was doing so well after the operation, and partly because the two
rounds of ultrasound examination in June and September found no replase, the injection was
stopped. Currently they are monitoring the situation. I know I have gotten much better. I can feel
it clearly myself.
Do you still take “fucoidan”?
I drink one bottle and take six capsules a day. I’m sure fucoidan is working, because my health
has improved so much and now I can do household chores almost as normally as before. All my
children are already grown up, and I’m even thinking about finding a job nowadays. I’m filled
with a sense of appreciation.
Advice from Dr. Tachikawa.
The liver is one of the largest organs in our body. Cases of metastasizing liver tumor, like the one
experienced by Mrs. Nakamura, are increasing in recent years. We have learned from many
clinical cases that various types of cancer metastasize to the liver, and particularly colon cancer,
stomach cancer and breast cancer have higher chances of spreading to the liver. Mrs. Nakamura
had two – thirds of her liver removed by an operation. Our liver can still function normally even
after losing such a big chunk, and will start growing again in several weeks after the surgery. The
injection of anticancer drugs through the hepatic artery is a treatment called “hepatic artery
injection.” In her case, the injection, the injection was stopped because no problem was found by
ultrasound examination, etc. I believe that this was because of “fucoidan” that not only helped her
regain physical strength, but also worked effectively to get rid of any remaining cancer cells. Of
course, you can never lower your guard against cancer. To prevent replase and metastasize, it is
recommended that she continue taking “fucoidan” every day at regular times.
Colon Cancer /Rectum Cancer Q&A
Q: The patient is a female in her late 40s who was diagnosed with terminal rectum cancer in
February of this year. She had considerable pain and was given painkillers. She began taking 8
Website: www.fucoidan.com.vn
grams of fucoidan a day through capsules in the middle of April, and currently has no pain at all.
However, she now has jaundice. What’s causing her jaundice? What should she do? She wants to
use only natural food and supplements, if possible. Please recommend any other health
supplement or diet therapy she can use.
A: About your question, first of all the jaundice is probably caused by a stenosis of bile duct
resulting from oppression due to the metastasized lesions in lymph nodes around her gallbladder.
Or, the cancer may have spread to her liver and caused the bile duct in the liver to constrict,
thereby affecting the flow of bile. In Western medicine, the prodecures to treat her condition
include inserting a tube (pigtail) into the narrowed section of her bile duct using an endoscope, or
surgically inserting a tube into the bile duct first (PTCD) and then inserting a thinner tube into the
narrowed section of the bile duct. These procedures should cure her jaundice. Also ask her about
the color of her stool. If her stool is white, that means her bile duct is completed blocked. If she
sees any color at all, then the bile duct is only partially blocked. If the color of stool is normal,
she is suffering from a liver function failure that can be treated. If she is simply suffering from
poor flow of bile, she may find it effective to take medicine and liver supporting drugs to
improve the flow of bile. As for health supplements, I recommend that she try tumeric. She
should also be careful about what she eats, because eating or drinking greasy food, cold food or
drinks, alcohols, and milk, have the effect of increasing bile production.
Tachikawa
Q: She is a female of 51 years of age. She had a colon cancer operation in September of last
year, and during the operation the doctors found metastases in her livers. Since the lesions could
not be removed because of their locations, the doctors closed the would without doing anything
and put her on chemotherapy for four months. Her tumor maker was 1000 at the start of
chemotherapy, which dropped to as low as 20 after the round of chemotherapy. She has not been
given any treatment after that. When she went to the hospital on November 13 of this year, she
found that her tumor maker had risen to 3000. She was given a prognosis of three months. She
has considerable ascites and looks as if she were pregnant. She says she doesn’t have much pain.
Is it not possible to remove ascites because of her condition? Will fucoidan decrease ascites?
How much fucoidan should she take? She passes stool daily and the color of her stool is normal,
but her face is turning a little yellow. Is there anything else she should pay attention to?
A: The patient is suffering from ascites. Ascites can occur for one of two reasons. The first is
peritonitis carcinomatosa, and the other is cirrhosis of the liver. Possible treatments include diet
therapy and diuretic. Normally these internal therapies are attempted first. If they don’t work,
then removal of ascites is considered. Ascites due to meningitis carcinomatosa can be removed
easily. If cirrhosis of the liver is the cause, however, removing ascites can aggravate the situation.
Accordingly, she should be extra careful if she is suffering from cirrhosis of the liver. Or, she
may possibly have both. If this is the case, ascites can’t be removed in one go. Instead, the fluid
must be removed over a period of time through multiple procedures. She also has jaundice, which
suggests that her liver function will worsen futher. If her jaundice is caused by narrowing of the
bile duct, placement of a stent may be necessary. I believe that use of diuretic with fucoidan
might be effective. It is also important for her to take BCAA (branched – chain amino acids, such
as valine, leucine and isoleucine), prevent constipation, and regulate the intake of water. It’s best
that the painful conditions (such as the swelling of her abdomen) be removed.
