Guest guest Posted January 22, 2001 Report Share Posted January 22, 2001 Hi , I'll send out a mail to my customer in Singapore to ask exactly which kind of leukemia it is. She never mentioned to me she was just too happy and it never occured to me there are different types of leukemia. The reishi fruit body used is red -- ganoderma lucidium, ganoderma tsugae purple-- ganoderma applantum, ganoderma boninese, one not identified species. brown-- name not identified yet. The reishi mycelium used is the red and purple ones. The protocol is just like I recommended to everyone, take the capsules first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Vit C taken after breakfast. On a higher sodase, take the second time in the evening on an empty stomach as well. It took about 6 months to cure leukemia. As for cancers, colon cancer seems to be the easiest to cure, although it have worked on stomach, liver and lungs. I do not have a lot of cancer people taking. Most people in Malaysia that takes it is for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and general body immunity. So far no one with sarcoma approached me or I do not know they have sarcoma and taking my mushroom. I do not separate out the reishi to try on sick people. I just make them as good as I can, more species, organic and free of chemicals. Logically, the more species the better as different species will contain different active constituents. Same way, different mushrooms have their own goodness, so it is difficult to compare. One mushroom can be good to a person but it may not be effective for another. So the only way is to take some of each to have the best of everything. However from observation, the reishi mycelium is more powerful than the fruit body. However ther are still active constituents in the fruit body that the mycelium does not contain.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Reishi mushrooms have been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. In the famous Chinese materia medica, the Shen Nung Ben Cao Jing (206 B.C.i8 A.D.), reishi mushroom is listed as one of the "superior tonics." This means that it was highly regarded and used to prolong life, increase qi (or the vital force) and prevent aging. Reishi mushrooms were used by Taoist monks and Chinese royalty; they appeared in many well-known Chinese paintings and silk tapestries, and on the robes of the emperor. Reishi mushroom was called the "mushroom of immortality" and the "mushroom of spiritual potency." Modern research has found that reishi mushroom contains many different active constituents. According to the September 2000 issue of the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia, most of the research on reishi mushroom has been centered on its immune-enhancing, cardiovascular-regulating and blood-sugar-lowering actions, as well as its liver-protective properties. Reishi mushrooms contain polysaccharides, a group of compounds that have effective immune-supportive properties. Beta-glucan, one of the polysaccharides in reishi mushrooms, has been found to stimulate white blood cells that help to fight and prevent infections. Reishi mushrooms can help boost immunity in those who suffer from frequent upper respiratory infections such as colds and flus. Triterpenes, another major class of compounds found in reishi mushrooms, can affect the cardiovascular system; researchers in China have found that they can decrease high cholesterol and hypertension. Although reishi mushrooms have an excellent safety record, they should not be used by people who are taking anti-coagulants and cholesterol-lowering drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase (such as Lovastatin). For people who have early stage Type 2 diabetes, reishi mushroom may help decrease blood-sugar levels. Animal studies have shown that the polysaccharides known as ganoderans can enhance the liver’s ability to metabolize glucose, elevate insulin levels and increase the ability of tissues to use glucose. (Note: a person on medication for lowering blood sugar should be careful when using reishi mushrooms because their blood sugar level may drop too low). Reishi mushroom also enhances the liver’s ability to break down toxic compounds. One of the mushroom’s actions is to increase the level of the potent antioxidant glutathione inside liver cells. The recommended dose of reishi mushroom is 400 milligrams three times a day, containing a minimum of 10 percent beta-glucan and 4 percent triterpenes.
