Guest guest Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 People,your inputs are really food for thought. I am not so much into biology but I have lived in Africa for the bigger part of my life. I observed an excluded people who never used to have certain illnesses in ancient times who inherited such illnesses from European settlers. Such are diseases as, chiken pox, small pox, gonorhea, syphilis and even anthrax.

Most African people remain unable to access proper remedies to these invading diseases. Western diseases can only be cured with western medicine by and large.

Yes I have seen people suffer from a compination of herpes and other stds (deadly compinations) for long times with no remedies. I have seen such people waste away long before they get medication and in most cases by th e time the get the medicine, the disease has become cancerous. And yes they will have a low CD4 count, dignosed HIV positive and supposedly die of " Aids.

Is the HIV test to be trusted? The desages of treatment used in treating resistent stds has remained the same at the standards set 50 years ago, or even earlier, and as result when African people go to get std remedies, they get partial remedy which becomes dangerous in the long run. That, combined with poor nutrition are creating havock on the African continent.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi all, Here's some info I thought might be of some interest. Boyd Graves enlightened me on this: U.S. patent # 4647773 (do a google search or ask jeeves) Also---- U.S. patent # 5676977 There are also other patent numbers associated with them.(Something about chronic fatigue syndrome) Please read and share your thoughts.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Hi , I took alot of Reishi a couple of my sickest years. (Bedridden 20+ hours a day) I credited it with helping me take a cross country flight and staying a couple of weeks. But this was just me working on it, with my wholistic background and a little study of immune system. No Practitioners, tests, other reality checks. I always look at that bottle in the Health food store, but have not re-visited because the mushroom/fungal question concerns me more now. Some might say there would be no concern...I haven't researched it lately.

" Aristophanes > Website for National Alliance for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: www.name-us.org > Hi Steve You might be interested to know that I have been taking Thorne's Myco-Immune tincture twice daily for about one month and for the previous month another mushroom tincture made by Nutri, both containing Reshi but also 6 other mushroom complexes. I have definite viral/intracellular problems as per my ATP Translactor Study done through Biolab but I have to say my energy is the best its been for years, I am regularly doing around 6500 steps daily according to my pedometer whereas when I checked out the number of steps I did in a day a couple of years ago I was lucky to get to 3000 plus. Also somedays I am able to swim for nearly 25 minutes non-stop. I am also noticing a real difference in how I feel because I keep getting so unbelievably bored, I keep wanting to do something after only sitting down for 30 minutes. I have also started riding my bike again for short periods. In addition to taking the mushroom complexes I have had 3 acupuncture sessions in the last month with a Chinese doctor to boost my energy and also have been taking some Chinese herbs but only about 1 cup daily because otherwise they upset my bowels and also give me migraines.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 wow. thanks Maggie! that's a pretty amazing lot of varied benefits, and very strong claim for all forms of hep. i've been pulverizing dried reishi in a coffee bean grinder and adding it to coffee grounds, but for quite awhile, but not enough to be equivalent to the dosages the article specifies using caps of extracts. i really like the flavor it adds to coffee, but it took a bit of getting used to... when i ran out of reishi my coffee tasted kind of boring. the guys i get reishi from on ebay are known on ebay as chinesebalance. best prices going anywhere that i've found, and very pleasant folk. in one of their recent ebay listings they mention boiling the reishi for quite awhile to make an extract which can be kept in the fridge. hot water extraction is much superior to alcohol from several sources i've read. for HCV, a super ice tea i drank last summer (and will start again now that i've re-stocked) is dandelion root & leaves, reishi, & green tea... with lemon and honey to taste. this year i'll try it with a much more powerful reishi component, like some strong extract made as described above instead of just a teaball. today i was bad... for hep discipline anyway. i had my super smoothie with all my nuts, seeds, fruits/berries, TCM herb blend, whey, taurine, bee pollen, etc etc, with Ben & Jerry's Vanilla. that was a compromise because i was really craving a root beer float. removing wallpaper all day can work on one's mind. bobL > [ ] Just sending a link for HVC folks > OT to MMS > > > Hello, > > This link was posted to another group and since it was said it might > help with HVC I thought I would post it to this group knowing there are > some here suffering with it.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hi Bob, Was wondering if the Reishi or the MMS have been helping your HCV? With moving and all I was finally able to get my Reishi and will start on it for help with the cancer. We have a friend with HCV and he is not having any success with treatment from his doctors.:^( Thanks for your recipes. Yum in coffee. Hummmm Better than a capsule. Certainly more fun. Removing wallpaper certainly deserves a root beer float. LOL Maggie > > wow. thanks Maggie! > > that's a pretty amazing lot of varied benefits, and very strong claim for > all forms of hep. > > i've been pulverizing dried reishi in a coffee bean grinder and adding it to > coffee grounds, but for quite awhile, but not enough to be equivalent to the > dosages the article specifies using caps of extracts. i really like the > flavor it adds to coffee, but it took a bit of getting used to... when i ran > out of reishi my coffee tasted kind of boring. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 hi Maggie... i believe the most effective thing i'm doing for the HCV is CS. i haven't yet kept up with the strong reishi decoction after the first couple batches... must do that (not at all unpleasant to sip). i'm making the iced tea with green tea, dandelion, and reishi again now, and emphasizing the reishi by quantity and also boiling it for awhile before turning it off and adding the other tea balls. i haven't been doing MMS since last fall, but will try it along with lots of ozone (ear insufflations, cupping, and water) when i stop the CS for awhile. whenever i cut back on CS the hep symptoms start up... not too bad, but ominously there... swelling achy feet and the itchies. CS knocks all that right out in a couple hours. my liter/day of CS 4 month experiment failed to clear the HCV, so i've cut that back to about 1/4 or 1/3 liter/day and it still does the job. i have no way to know just what is or isn't doing what among all the stuff i'm taking, but it does all seem to help. the TCM herbs would probably work better if i were better about steady timing and using enough ... it appears i have to quit smoking cigars to get anywhere if i'm going to. and get going with vigorous activity beyond working on walls, like back on my rollerblades (need new wheels :-( ) but prevailing stressors are just that so far. i have a mom on the other coast with increasing problems probably going to kill her soon, or she's going to be blind and an invalid, and i'm powerless to do anything which is a real drag... > [ ] Re: reishi > > > Hi Bob, > > Was wondering if the Reishi or the MMS have been helping your HCV? > With moving and all I was finally able to get my Reishi and will start > on it for help with the cancer. > > We have a friend with HCV and he is not having any success with > treatment from his doctors.:^( > > Thanks for your recipes.
