  Chikugo Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chikugo (筑後国; Chikugo no kuni) was an old province of Japan in the area that is today the southern part of Fukuoka prefecture, on Kyushu.
Chikugo bordered on Hizen, Chikuzen, Bungo, and Higo Provinces.
The ancient capital of the province was located near the modern city of Kurume, Fukuoka; in the Edo period the province was divided into two fiefs: the Tachibana clan held a western fief at Yanagawa, and the Arima clan held an eastern fief at Kurume.

Chlorella vulgaris (Chikugo-Kabu or Chikugo strain) may help adjust acid-alkaline balance, thus it may help alleviate symptoms of gastric ulcer, diabetes, athlete foot, gout and amphibolic complaint related to menopausal or post-menopausal women.
I myself researched chlorella vulgaris day and night for many years, and found that it may lower cholesterol, adjust body's own natural defense power, detoxify the worst carcinogens "dioxins", suppress cancer-formation, show strong resistance against virus/bacterial infection and alleviate side-effects of anti-cancer drug/radiation treatment.
I also researched chlorella vulgaris (Chikugo-Kabu or Chikugo strain) in relation to its enzyme synthesis of cysteine, ferredoxin, low-molecular viable substance.
