AHCC (active hexose correlated compound) is a unique immune-building supplement made from components of shiitake and other medicinal mushrooms. But AHCC is much more than just a mushroom! Written by two AHCC experts, this booklet discusses extensive research--more than 20 human clinical studies--supporting AHCC's beneficial properties, particularly as a complement to conventional cancer treatments.
AHCC is a time-tested "superfood" nutrient extracted from the mycelium of shiitake mushrooms grown in rice bran extract. Less well known in the West, AHCC has become a widely accepted treatment for several diseases and health conditions. Japanese doctors have successfully used AHCC to treat cancer, autoimmune diseases, and many other debilitating illnesses. Learn about the scientific research that confirms the value of AHCC.
The lowly mushroom, grown quietly, in the dark, has suddenly sprung onto the health scene as a miracle cure. Once castigated as a mere fungus, the mushroom has acquired a signature cachet in the form of active hexose-correlated compound (AHCC), a nutritional product made from healing mushrooms fermented in rice bran. AHCC is used in over 700 clinics and hospitals in Japan, mainly in cancer treatment. Now Japan's secret has crossed the Pacific, and this new book reveals what the Japanese have known for decades; AHCC is as well researched as any conventional prescription drug. The quality control of AHCC is so stringent that it would easily qualify as a licensed pharmaceutical, but the manufacturers believe that this would limit its availability to the many people in Japan - healthy people, who use it as a preventive as well as for a variety of other purposes. Because it is actually a mushroom-based food, even though it is often made available in capsule form, it is extremely safe for anyone to take, including children, pets, frail elderly, and patients who have undergone surgery. Dr. Fred Pescatore explores AHCC in depth, explaining; How it is manufactured How it is used in clinics in Japan and other parts of the world Its safety and efficacy The scientific evidence supporting its striking versatility and profound effectiveness for a wide variety of conditions This book will introduce readers to AHCC and expand their knowledge of one of the most important food supplements available on the market today.

Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Dr. Weil's program was the first such academic program in the U.S., and its stated goal is "to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically."
Our anatomy and physiology have been completely shaped by Earth's gravity. All body systems function in synergy with this unseen force. Yet, as we journey further and longer into space, our bodies must conform to a new reality, wherein gravity is absent or reduced, cosmic radiation threatens and our social and familial connections become distant. Into Space: A Journey of How Humans Adapt and Live in Microgravity gives an overview of some of the physiological, anatomical and cellular changes that occur in space and their effects on different body systems, such as the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal, and touches on cultural and psychosocial aspects of leaving behind family and the safety of Earth. It further addresses the complexity of manned space flights, showing how interdisciplinary this subject is and discussing the challenges that space physiologists, physicians and scientists must face as humans seek to conquer the final frontier.
