Group: General GcMAF questions

Saisei Mirai is a medical organisation in Osaka, Japan with the purpose of treating patients and developing and producing therapies, in particular immunotherapies such as GcMAF. We work with other clinics and doctors both here and in Japan, as well as with various universities conducting clinical trials and doing research & development.

GcMAF (Gc Protein derived Macrophage Activating Factor) occurs naturally in our bodies and instructs macrophages to destroy cancerous cells and foreign invaders by activating them.

Macrophages (Greek: big eaters) are cells originating from monocytes, a type of white blood cell found in the body. Macrophages function in both non-specific defense (innate immunity) as well as help initiate specific defense mechanisms (adaptive immunity) of vertebrate animals. Their role is to phagocytize (engulf and then digest) cellular debris and pathogens, either as stationary or as mobile cells. They also stimulate lymphocytes and other immune cells to respond to pathogens. They are specialized phagocytic cells that attack foreign substances, infectious microbes and cancer cells through destruction and ingestion. A macrophage of a mouse stretching its “arms” (pseudopodia) to engulf two particles, possibly pathogens.

Macrophages and other phagocytes are found in the following locations in the body: Main location Types of phagocytes Skin * macrophages, resident Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, mast cells Gut and intestinal Peyer’s patches * macrophages Lungs * macrophages, monocytes, mast cells, dendritic cells Blood neutrophils, monocytes Bone marrow macrophages, monocytes, sinusoidal cells, lining cells Connective tissue macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, histiocytes Lymphoid tissue macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells Spleen macrophages, monocytes, sinusoidal cells Thymus macrophages, monocytes * These locations offer the best sites for GcMAF administration. The skin by subcutaneous (SC) or intramuscular (IM) injection, the gut by oral administration and the lungs by inhalation using a nebulizer (such as Omron […]
