Ingredients:

• 1 Medium Diced Onion
• 1 1/2 cups of chicken SuperSOY (Dry)
• 1 bag (8 ounces) of Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 1 large can Green Enchilada Sauce
• 1 package of Corn Tortillas
• 5-6 tablespoons of Vegetable Oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, mix Chicken SuperSOY with 2 cups of water.
3. Add 2 TBSP of oil and onions to a large frying pan.  Saute over medium heat until onions begin to lightly brown.  Add hydrated chicken and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes.  Set aside.
4. In a small frying pan, add a small amount of oil and cook tortillas over low heat for about 1 minute on each side.  Tortillas should be soft, not crunchy.
5. Line the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2 casserole dish with the cooked tortillas.  Add about half of the cooked Chicken Super SOY.  Add about half a cup of enchilada sauce and top off with a layer of cheese.  Repeat the process to create another layer (using the remainder of the Chicken Super SOY).  Add a third layer of tortillas.  Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top and complete the masterpiece with a layer of cheese.
6. Place in oven for 30-35 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes.  Enjoy.
7. Serve with fresh chopped cilantro and sour cream on top.

Fucoidan has been compared to human breast milk. Fucoidan is found to contain the same healing antibodies and essential amino acids and a balanced diet of minerals that are needed to boost the immune system that mother’s milk provides to new infants.

The complex sugar molecules or carbohydrates, also known as free oligosaccharides, in breast milk are what some researchers believe to be crucial for mothers to convey immunity from diseases and other protection to infants.

Fucoidan is a low molecular-weight carbohydrate and a plant derived oligosccharide.  Not only do they boost the immunity, low molecular weight carbohydrates have been known to have beneficial effects on colon cancer calcium absorption and blood lipids according to Ian Rowland, a researcher in Northern Ireland, from the University of Ulster.

Viennese and German researchers wondered if human derived oligosaccharides and plant derived oligosaccharides from the fucoidan could stimulate cytokine, an important protein in controlling inflammatory response such as interleukins and interferon production and that activation or maturation of core blood T cells.  If so,  they believed it would prove they positively affect the immune system in newborns.
Study headed by Thomas Eiwegger, MD, Department of Pediatrics and Juevenile Medicine Medicine at the Unversity of Vienna Medical School in Austria.  Appears in the April 2004 issue of Pediatric Research

Acidic human-milk oligosaccharides (aHMO), neutral human-milk oligosaccarides and low-molecular-weight-fucoidan (LMWF) were tested.  Researches made the note, “The first study to show a direct influence of aHMOs on cord blood-derived T cells in vitro from randomly selected newborns. “

The results showed that the aHMOs infants receive during breast-feeding may play a role in preventing allergies and in the maturing immune system.  They found to, that they LMWF affected the T cell cytokine production by stimulating the Th2cells*.  These findings and plus other research into plant-derived sugars, give support to the claim that fucoidan has properties that closely resemble breast milk from humans, especially since it enhances they immune systems infecting fighting ability.

It is encouraging news for women to breast feed their babies and hopefully aide in the quest for an infant formula that will be able to closer simulate  breast milk.

*Th2cells- a type of “T helper cells” that help with the immune systems emergency responses.

What is Limu?

Limu, an edible seaweed found in the surrounding, pristine waters in the south Pacific Ocean near the Tonga Islands. For centuries, people of the south pacific have enjoyed the nourishment of the brown seaweed.

This amazing marine vegetable is an amazing storehouse of the oceans natural minerals and vitamins, glyconutrients, amino acids, fucoidan and polysaccharides that help to support a body’s immune functions. The most remarkable substance found in Limu Moui is Fucoidan.
