International Symposium of AHCC Research Association Planned Discussion of Latest AHCC Studies Rye, New York, July 17, 2001 - Approximately 350 medical doctors from around the world are scheduled to attend the 9th International Symposium of AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound) Research Association August 18-19, 2001, in Sapporo, Japan. The focus of the Symposium is to discuss new AHCC clinical research studies and developments. The AHCC Research Association was established in the U.S. to promote clinical research of the nutritional supplement, as well as physician and patient education of its benefits. Building upon 15 years of patient success in Japan, the Japanese nutritional supplement used to boost the immune system is making its way into U.S. hospitals and medical clinics. "AHCC has been the subject of a great deal of clinical research and our goal is to bring that information to light in the U.S.," stated Fred Pescatore, M.D., M.P.H., of the Centers of Integrative and Complementary Medicine and medical director for the AHCC Research Association. "Each year the Symposium continues to grow in size and context, allowing leading doctors to present clinical studies conducted during the previous year. Past topics include cancer tumor reduction, hepatitis B and C treatment, liver injuries and even post-operative immune system enhancement." AHCC is derived from a highly specialized manufacturing process developed in the mid-1980s that relies on the hybridization of several species of mushrooms cultivated in Japan. According to industry analysts in Japan, over 700 hospitals and medical clinics recommend AHCC to patients in that country as part of an immune support regimen. AHCC has been the subject of some 325 clinical studies conducted at prestigious Japanese institutions such as Hokkaido University, Kyorin University and Teikyo University. Currently, 35,000 individuals worldwide use the nutritional supplement monthly. Symposium details will be available as the event nears. The Symposium is also open to the media.
