Mushroom for Cancer Prevention

China has medical texts that are 4,000 years old documenting the benefits of the Reishi mushroom, Shiitake mushroom, and Cordyceps mushroom.

The Japanese government officially recognizes the Reishi mushroom for treating cancer. More recent studies have shown that the Himematsutake Mushroom of God is the most powerful, containing the most anti-tumor beta glucans.

The Western culture is ruled by large corporate pharmaceutical companies for medical treatments. America's society seeks natural medical sources only after the synthetic 'medicines' have failed, and rarely become health consious enough to educate themselves to the benefits of preventive medicine.

We're bombarded through all sources of media and physicians about the "latest" and "greatest" 'medicines' for our health problems by the 1 Trillion Dollar pharmaceutical industy.

It's a rare person indeed that hasn't ever heard the statement: 'We can put a man on the moon, but we can't cure cancer?' or diabetes, or any other disease you'd like to insert.

Why?
Because preventing or curing a disease is the last thing the Trillion Dollar industy wants to do!

The pharmaceutical industry wants us to continue buying their synthetic 'medicines' (that many times also harbor additional serious harmful side effects).

They look at the bottom line only - profits - not preventing or curing your health.

They don't want you to know of alternative natural substances for your health.

They don't want you to know of nutritional supplements.

They don't want you to know the whole truth behind their 'medicine's' effectiveness or side effects.

Think about it - if we were more healthy, we wouldn't buy their 'medicine'. It's to their advantage to either keep us addicted to their synthetic counterparts, or encourage us to buy another type of 'medicine' to 'combat' the side effects of the first 'medicine' that was prescribed.

How?
The pharmaceutical industry keeps their monopoly on our society by shutting down any threat to their bottom line (money) from scientific researches, studies, publications, and congressional laws.

Up to 3/4 of the published medical 'medicine' trials are funded by the pharmaceutical industry, often spending 1 million dollars just in reprint costs (thereby bolstering the medical journals' profits too!).

In another view, since the pharmecutical industry funds the medical trials, they are in control of hiring, firing, or blacklisting the researchers and scientists.

It is not unknown for them to also carefully structure a medical trial to ensure their 'medicine's results are positive, either by choosing what results are made public, choosing the comparison treatment and dosage that their 'medicine' is supposed to be superior to, or structuring the trial size and duration to show their's is superior.

To further insure our sicknesses and diseases, pharmaceutical companies visit Doctor offices; supplying them with free samples, free 'gifts', free 'seminars' and 'vacations', or free expensive dinners, and even sponsoring a Doctor's continuing education.

Do you have knowledge of the historical 'payola' scam of the '50's in the music industry? That is 'small potatoes' now, compared to the long arm of the pharmaceutical industry.

One recent example is the 'medicine' Viox, which earned the Merck Company $2.3 billion just in the year of 2003. Senate testimony states that Merck committed fraud about the scientific credibility of the studies backing Viox, and covered up the dangerous side effects, to win the FDA approval of Viox, a 'medicine' we now know that has killed more people than the entire number killed in the Vietnam War. Viox is also responsible for causing over 100,000 heart attacks.

The Himematsutake mushroom, native of Brazil is known as "The Mushroom of God". Researchers have isolated large amounts of a very important polysaccharide called 'beta glucan' in Himematsutake. Although other mushrooms also contain beta glucan, the Himematsutake mushroom contains the highest level of all the mushrooms tested, including Reishi and Shitake, of Beta glucans. Beta-glucans are the most potent immune enhancing substances yet found. They also have very powerful anti-tumor properties.

The Himematsutake mushroom specifically assists in the production of interferon and interleukin, which are potent in fighting off cancer cell metastasis.

When human subjects are given Himematsutake in their diet, a 3000% increase of NK cells, a type of anti-tumor white blood cell known as Natural Killer cells, is seen in the blood within 2-4 days.

There are many verified reports from around the world of this mushroom being used successfully in late stage cancers that had been determined hopeless and some clinics in Europe base their entire treatment protocols on the Himematsutake mushroom extracts and other complimentary botanicals. In many published studies, the rate of cure for all types of cancer has been in the high ninety percentile range, even for stage 4 lung cancer, where many complete remissions are often seen in just a few weeks.

Agaricus brasiliensis Extract (Himematsutake) 2 fl oz: F

30 drops of extract is equivalent to 1 gram of mushroom mycelium/fruitbodies, and can be consumed directly or mixed into your favorite beverage. About 40 dropperfuls per 1 fl oz bottle. That's dropperfuls, not drops. I've put mine in coffee, water, and pop! The liquid vial states to put 15-30 drops into a drink 2x a day. I myself put 15 drops into what-ever I'm drinking 2x a day.

The Cordyceps Sinesis fungi grow as parasites in larvae of Lepidoptera (caterpillars), gradually taking over the entire larval body. The diseased larvae bury themselves in the soil and die. Later the fungal mass grows out of the pupa. The caterpillar fungus or Tochukaso has been highly regarded in Chinese medicine for many centuries. It is not a mushroom type fungus.

Anti-cancer polysaccharides have been isolated from several species of Cordyceps, and some have been shown to have hypoglycaemic activity as well. Cordyceps is now being used as an agent to treat fatigue and improve motor function.

In traditional chinese medicine Cordyceps is famous for it's use as an aphrodisiac. Research in China and Japan has shown a 64% success rate among men suffering from sexual dysfunction.

Cordyceps maintains healthy blood circulation. Recently, scientists have demonstrated that Cordyceps drastically lowers cholesterol concentrations. Cordyceps also helps to prevent blood platelet aggregation. Research has shown that the greater the amount of Cordyceps taken, the more one can fight off bacterial and viral diseases.

Cordyceps is an anti-aging product to support brain and lung health. Cordyceps increase SOD production, which is a naturally-occurring antioxidant in the body, in both the liver and the brain. It controls and strengthens the beat of the heart, so your heart pumps more blood, which nourishes the body. It also has positive effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and has an anti-aging effect.

The glucans in Reishi mushrooms appear to activate a type of white blood cell known as a macrophage. These cells filter the blood, destroying cancer cells, viruses, and bacteria. Macrophages also signal other white blood cells to seek out and destroy tumor cells.

Reishi is a strong immune system stimulator and has been shown to be effective in treating cancer in numerous studies including those of breast cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma and lung cancer.

Reishi is beneficial in the prevention and treatment of cancer, as the T-cells are then able to fight cancer cells more effectively. Reishi may help the body defeat cancer in not just one, but four ways. In addition to boosting the immune system, the glucan in Reishi helps immune cells bind to tumor cells. Many experts believe that it also actually reduces the number of cancerous cells, making it easier for T-cells and macrophages to rid the body of them.

Another substance in Reishi, called canthaxanthin, slows down the growth of tumors. The Reishi mushroom can increase the production of interleukin 1 and 2, resulting also in inhibition of tumor growth.

The Reishi mushroom can also be used to treat cancer patients due to its ability to activate NK cells, macrophages, T-lymphocytes, and cytokines, all important immune system components. In addition to being used as a cancer therapy by itself, it is also useful as adjunct and adjuvant therapy helping to lessen the damage from radiation, making chemotherapy more effective, lessening the side-effects of chemotherapy and helping to restore white blood cell counts to normal levels much more rapidly.

Research shows that the polysaccharide beta-1,3-D-glucan in Reishi mushrooms boosts the immune system by raising the amount of macrophages T-cells, which has major implications for people suffering from AIDS and other immune system disorders.

Reishi is a cardiovascular heart tonic. It improves blood flow to the heart, reduces coronary demand for oxygen and helps ease the chest pain of angina. Reishi reduces artery-clogging cholesterol, preventing the oxidation of blood fats, prevent the formation blood clots that can lead to a heart attack or stroke, and helps maintain a strong, steady heart beat.

Reishi also reduces platelet stickiness and help correct arrhythmia. A study of 54 people with hypertension unresponsive to medication, took Reishi extract three times a day for four weeks, resulting in a significantly lower blood pressure.

Reishi acts as an antihistamine, making it useful for treating allergies. Reishi appears to control the release of transmitting chemicals in the body, inhibiting the release of histamine. Since the Reishi mushroom also promotes the adrenal function and immune reaction, it has added effectiveness in controlling the body's reaction to an allergen. Studies show the Reishi mushroom is also very effective for treating bronchitis.

Reishi also helps to lower the damage done to the liver when exposed to toxins.

Reishi is noted for its effectiveness as an anti-inflammatory, making it useful also in the treatment of Alzheimer's, which has been tied to inflammation in the brain.

The Reishi mushroom can calm the mind, relieving anxiety as well as improve memory, concentration and focus.

The University of Texas Health Science Center found that Reishi is as powerful as five milligrams of hydrocortisone, but with minimal side effects.

It has been studied and reported to be helpful with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Epstein-Barr.

Japanese research suggests taking vitamin C along with it may enhance reishi's medicinal effects.

For thousands of years Maitake mushrooms have been revered in China and Japan. New research shows that the Maitake mushroom's D-fraction has apoptosis (cancer cell death) inducing properties. Tests in mice prove that it blocks tumor formation and boosts the immune system.

Studies suggest that Maitake lowers serum cholesterol and triglycerides, containing glucans that naturally stimulate the immune system, lower blood pressure, and blood sugar levels.

The Maitake mushroom has also been shown to enhance the effects of chemotherapy as well as having anti-cancer properties.

The Lion's Mane mushroom has long been used for its anti-tumor, cancer prevention, immune-stimulating, and relief of stomach ailment properties, and once was reserved only for Royal families. An ancient saying about Lion's Mane is that those who consumed it would have the memory of a lion and nerves of steel.

Recently researchers have patented an extraction process which isolates a NGSF (Nerve Growth Stimulant Factor). They found a compound in the Lions Mane mushroom that causes brain neurons to regrow! An immense step forward for helping senility, repairing neurological degradation, alzheimer's disease, dementia, and increasing intelligence and improving reflexes. The Lion's mane is the only mushroom clinically tested to improve neurological function. Preliminary study shows more mobility and a sharper mind in just six months use of the Lion's Mane mushroom.

Studies also confirm many of its traditional uses; supporting the digestive system, and acting as a tonic for the nervous system.

The Shiitake mushroom contains 2 components that have demonstrated themselves as being strong anti-tumor fighters.

Shiitake also contains Lentinula edodes and Lentinin. Lentinula edodes contains Tyrosinase, which lowers blood pressure. Lentinula edodes also contains adenine and choline, which may prevent the occurrence of cirrhosis of the liver as well as vascular sclerosis.

Lentinula edodes contains ergosterol, which is not present in much quantity in vegetables, but is converted to vitamin D in presence of sunlight. Vitamin D increases resistance against illnesses and has preventive and curative effects on colds.

The Shiitake mushroom is called a phytonutrient. Phytonutrients appear to slow, stop or reverse the multiple processes in cancer development.

Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail mushroom), is perhaps the most effective cancer life extender of the immunoceutical mushrooms.

Two proteoglycans from the Turkey Tail Mushroom - PSK (Polysaccharide-K) and PSP (Polysaccharide-Peptide) - have demonstrated the most promise in fighting cancer.

In Japanese trials since 1970, the PSK in Turkey Tail mushroom significantly extended survival at five years or beyond in cancers of the stomach, colon-rectum, esophagus, nasopharynx, and lung (non-small cell types).

The PSP within the Turkey Tail mushroom significantly extended five-year survival in esophageal cancer. PSP significantly improved quality of life, provided substantial pain relief, and enhanced immune status in 70-97 percent of patients with cancers of the stomach, esophagus, lung, ovary, and cervix.

The Turkey Tail mushroom is extremely highly tolerable, with proven benefits to survival and quality of life, and compatibility with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and Leukemia patients.
