Prostate cancer
70 years old male
Chief Complaint: General fatigue
Past Medical History: Not significant
Current Medical History:
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a PSA level of 11.9 in 2003 at a nearby hospital. He was advised to have a surgery, but he had to postpone it temporarily until the inflammation improves, and he was given hormone therapy. However, he had no choice but to discontinue the hormone therapy for the reasons that his tumor markers were not stable and he had strong symptoms which were believed to be the side effects from the hormone therapy, including general fatigue and impotence. In February 2004, he visited our clinic for the reasons that he had been functioned well sexually and that he wanted to cure without surgery and hormone therapy. He began combination therapy of Fucoidan Mix AG and aglycone type isoflavone.
Treatment Outcomes:
His PSA levels were decreased to 0.96 from 10.0, and CT images showed that the tumor was also reduced. Without degrading the quality of life, he became able to live a life while maintaining the sexual function.

Fucoidan Mix AG・・・It is composed of mozuku extracted fucoidan, mekabu extracted fucoidan and agaricus mycelium.
Today, active research is conducted on fucoidan and various bioactive functions of fucoidan, such as “anti-cancer action,” “cholesterol-lowering action,” “blood-pressure lowering action” and “anti-virus action,” have been revealed.
