e,

Is this what you're asking about?

" Active Hexose-Correlated Compound - AHCC - is a mushroom extract

supplement that has been tested for its potential with the immune system,

liver health and as a biological response modifier. "

No, it is not, because among other things, it contains cyclodextrin,

which is an oligosaccharide.

The other thing to realize is that this may be like echinacea -- fine if

you're not on remicade or humira or methotrexate or some other immune

suppressant drug.

But things like this can completely undo months of work with expensive

pharmaceuticals and make it necessary for you to start all over

again.

I'm a very big supporter of all-natural, but all-natural does not mean

" use without caution " . Nor does all-natural or organic

necessarily mean SCD-legal.
