Re: Dr. Gammill/Shiitake mushrooms

[Guest guest]

List,

Actually the "...fool" heading did not originate with me, but I am in agreement with it. Let me ask the list of what to do about a poster () who recommends a discredited and toxic treatment, ignores all evidence that points this out to him, and then posts the following:

"Thioproline is the most active ingredient in the Shiitake mushroom. Refer back to the website, geocities.com/HotSprings/villa/1706/shiitake.html, look at the table 'Constituyentes Activos en el Shiitake', and you will see that 'Thioprolina-TCA-aminoacido' has the highest rating - 27."

Here's the site -- if it copied and pasted OK :

Constituyentes Activos en el Shiitake

Constituyente

Acción

Fuente

Nucleótidos o derivados de ácidos nucleicos

Inhibidor de agregación plaquetaria

Eritadenina

Hipolipidémico

Ac2P (polisacárido)

Antiviral

25

FBP (proteína)

Antiviral

26

Thioprolina (TCA) (aminoácido)

Eliminador de nitritos

27

The last listed component is thioproline. Fuente in Spanish means source. Below is the source. Thioproline is listed as a nitrite trap, not as an anything with anti-cancer activity. Nitrite trapping might be the source of some of its neurotoxicity.

27. Y. Kurashima et al., "Marked Formation of Thiazolidine-4-carboxylic Acid, an Effective Nitrite Trapping Agent in Vivo, on Boiling of Dried Shiitake Mushroom", Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry 38 (1990): 1945-49.

List, this is very typical of the depth and thoroughness of 's "research".

Dr. Gammill/Shiitake mushrooms

Dr. Gammill stated in his August 6 posting, 'Get off this list you fool.....':

" There are scores of mushrooms with antineoplastic activity. Shiitake contains lentinen which has been used for years. No big deal. Apparently someone noted a trace of thioproline in shiitake, not nearly enough for biological activity....."

You are mistaken, Dr. Gammill; please refer to 'I am the first person in history', specifically, '2. CANCER':

"Thioproline is the most active ingredient in the Shiitake mushroom. Refer back to the website, geocities.com/HotSprings/villa/1706/shiitake.html, look at the table 'Constituyentes Activos en el Shiitake', and you will see that 'Thioprolina-TCA-aminoacido' has the highest rating - 27."

Physicians should be sued for Dereliction of Duty if they do not tell Cancer patients about the Shiitake mushroom.
