Reishi
mushrooms have been used for thousands of years to promote
good health in the Far East.

Reishi mushroom can increase the production of interleukin1
and 2, resulting in inhibition of tumor growth.
Studies show that Reishi can have a number of other
positive effects on the body such as analgesic,
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-viral (through
its interferon production), lowers blood pressure.
It also acts as a cardiotonic by lowering serum
and increasing the production of interleukin 1 and
2, which results in inhibition of tumor cholesterol,
expectorant, anti-tissue, liver protecting and detoxifying,
protection against ionizing radiation, antibacterial,
and anti-HIV activity. (46) |
We live in artificial environments where air is filtered
and food is processed. If we can keep our immune system
functioning efficiently and strengthen our daily programs
with natural immunity building supplements such as Reishi
mushrooms, we can minimize the frequency and severity
of illness and recover more quickly.
To
further mystify your brain into believing that the FDA
has not yet graduated from kindergarten: the Chinese
Chow Dynasty used Reishi mushrooms. This means that
people knew about the healing properties of Reishi mushrooms
over three thousand years ago.
The
compounds found in Reishi mushrooms have been classified
as Host Defense Potentiators (HDP). These enhance the
abilities of our immune system to protect itself. These
disease-inhibiting compounds include Hemicellulose (AHCC),
polysaccharides, polysaccharide-peptides, nucleo-sides,
triterpeniods, complex starches, and other metabolites.
In combination they strengthen the immune system, aid
in neuron transmission, metabolism, hormonal balance,
and the transport of nutrients and oxygen.
I
strongly advocate the consumption of natural, unadulterated,
non-processed, authentic Reishi mushrooms. Purchase
them in bulk, along with a seriously sharp knife for
these little guys are very tough. In order to cut one
into little pieces, you first must work yourself into
a murderous frenzy. Make believe you're an ex-football
player and commence to slay the little fungi.
During
my treatment I drank:
Two cups of Reishi per day.
You may also take Reishi capsules, one 500 mg. three
times per day.
