PSK or Coriolus (Mushroom product)-heard of it???

[Guest guest]

Have any of you tried this product? It is called PSK Coriolus. It is

a mushroom product designed to boost the immune system. I went to the

Cancer Center at St. 's Hospital in Oxnard, California, to meet

with their cancer nutritionist. She told me she recommends this

product to those of us with colon cancer because it is used commonly in

Japan during chemotherapy and has studies to back it up. There is only

one source on the web that is supposed to have the same formula as that

which is used in Japan so I ordered it. The nutritionist, on the other

hand, told me NOT to take antioxidants of any kind, including milk

thistle, while on chemo. This is because chemo is oxidizing (and works

that way) and if I am simultaneously taking antioxidants, I am fighting

the ability of the chemo to work. Makes lots of sense, doesn't it. As

soon as chemo is over, she said I can take tons of antioxidants,

including COQ10 (which I took long before I knew I had cancer).

Anyway, let me know if you have heard of PSK Coriolus and if you take

it. My oncologist said OK.
