If we conclude the list of hazardous diseases, cancer has become one of the most prominent diseases among them. Many certain causes can lead to this disease, hepatitis B is one of them, which can cause one certain type of cancer, although itself hepatitis B is a serious disease but when it gets one with the threat of liver cancer, its drawback increases far most. Without going any further in details of any disease, which lead to cancer or their causes, I would rather come to my main topic, which is AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound).

Background
Traditional Japanese used several species of mushrooms to heal it into one extremely powerful and hybridized mushroom. This mushroom is readily absorbable because it is grown in liquid medium, which contains rice bran and it is also enzymatically modified.

Practical Demonstrations & Functionality
In 1995, an experiment oriented research was done, which demonstrated that 3 grams of AHCC per day rapidly decreased size and level of tumor marker in prostate, ovarian, multiple myeloma and breast cancer. This research showed complete diminution in 6 out of 11 subjects and rapid increase in NK cell activity in 9 out 11 subjects.

Now let me tell you the functionality of AHCC in short. It is basically an oligosaccharide, and gets dissolved very easily because of its small molecular size. In vitro, animal and human studies confirm, according to a presentation by H. Kitade to the XXXIIIrd Congress of the European Society for Surgical Research (1998) that it can also protect subjects from the reoccurrence of liver cancer. In this research subjects were divided into three groups, those who took AHCC directly after surgery did well as compare to those who took it after reoccurrence or those who took after a delay.

Necessity
After the disaster of 11^th September, it has been observed that life-threats and un-identified fears have decreased unanimously, and it results the increase in post-traumatic stress disorder in people either affected by this disaster directly or indirectly through media. The common symptoms of this disease are somatic complaints like generalized "aches and pains," headaches, chest pain, alterations in sleep patterns and appetite, and lowered immunity; or emotional reactions like anxiety, anger, grief, irritability, restlessness, nightmares, and flashbacks, and the onset or exacerbation of substance abuse. All these disorders occurrence may consequence Natural Killer (NK) cell function, which is the reliable immune system parameter, supporting NK cell function with AHCC helps one to decrease or minimize the effects post-traumatic stress disorder.

Conclusion
After compiling all these researches together, it can be said that AHCC is very helpful for following:

• In Removing Tumor Markers
• In Increasing NK Cell Activity
• For Unknown Aches and Pains
• In Sleeping Disorders
• To Increase Immunity
• In Decreasing Post Traumatic Disorder
