Anyone taking Fucoidan (natural compound found in Seaweed)

Curious to know if anyone else is taking Fucoidan in tablet or other forms and what they have experienced? 

Seems there is research being done although not aware of any clinical trials (~3,120 papers on google scholar for search 'fuoidan cancer' since 2011)


Thanks

  • Hi JK

     

    I'm interested in getting a hold of this Fucoidan but I can't find it anywhere. I've tried to purchase it from Amazon and a couple of other sources but each time I get to the 'check out', it declines my payment along with the message, '' Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address''. Any ideas?

  • Not really my thing, but I think it is also marketed as Modifilan.

    Holland and Barrett sell Sea Kelp extract, which contains Fucuoidan - see seafarmacy.co.uk/benefits-of-kelp-sea-kelp-is-a-natural-remedy

    Hope this helps!

  • Cheers Dave, I think I'll try this. I hear that Fucoidan is meant 2B very helpful.

    With all due respect, I think I'll follow my instincts are go with the natural remedies. I was diagnosed last January 2015. I had surgery and refused chemo. Why? Simple answer, I haven't heard many ''success stories'' with chemo. All I ever read about is, ''He/she had chemo and died 9 months later''. Well thanx but no thanx, I think I'd much rather take my chances by building my body up with as much minerals, protein, alkaline etc and see what happens.

    Hi Willbeatcancer .....   I dont know what you have been reading but I have heard of MANY success stories with chemo - as a cure and to lengthen prognosis. 

    I have incurable disease and if I had not had chemo, would probably have died around 3yrs ago. Presumably you felt medical intervention was the best idea when choosing surgery but you do not say if you were told your prognosis was good following this anyway.  I guess you are not really trying to 'prove' your instincts which is a good thing because, as I am sure you are aware, that would be pretty irresponsible on an open forum used by very vulnerable and desperately ill people who need to trust the 'experts' at a very difficult time in their lives.

    All the best to you.  Max56

  • Well said, Max!  Many people benefit from chemo, and I think we should all make that jolly clear to any newcomers on this forum!

  • Well, willbeatcancer, each to his/her own, I guess, but as Max says, please don't put other people off accepting chemo that will prolong their lives for years as it has many on here.

    Good luck in your quest.
