Guest guest Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 From: " Becky " <bsalibrici@...> > Thanks so much for the link! What about mushrooms, like cordyceps, reishi, maitake, shiitake? What about them? I think they're all quite cancer-healing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Would mushrooms be a good vegetable for our autistic family members? I'm wondering about the phenolic content and also, since it's a fungus, is it the same kind of fungus that causes gut problems for our kids?

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 if you have yeast /fungal problems, you should stay clear of mushrooms of any sort.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi I thought I might answer your post. From what I have read and from what my Dan doctor and nutritionist have told me, mushrooms are not a good choice for autistic kids as they cause excitotoxicity. If you read Dr Usman's paper on excitotoxicity, mushrooms are included amongst the main culprits.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi Allain.. In my opinion, if you accept the bottom-line, over-simplified cause of cancer as being a failure of the immune system, then products like AHCC-Immpower and Mycoceutics MycoPhyto Complex are winners. I take both after having refused (to my oncologists' horror) chemo & radiation after my surgery for breast cancer (an informed, personal decision... not recommending this for anybody else). I take other alternative things, of course, but what is the point of the 'other things' if you don't activate your immune system to its optimum. AHCC-Immpower, for instance, has a long history in Japan as a premier cancer fighter. Good Luck.. Lola > > Hi, > > Anybody in this group using mushroom-based supplements for treatment? I have been told that polysaccharides in certain mushrooms have the ability to inhibit tumor growth by activating immune cells. They help balance the immune system and destroy existing cancer cells and viruses by increasing the production of natural killer cells, interferon and interleukin. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Will you please tell us what specific mushrooms we should consider. In a message dated 10/23/2009 10:27:01 P.M.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I was told to take Reishi mushroom supplement, anyone ever heard about this? ________________________________ From: " szukipoo@...

Check out Mushroom Science http://www.mushroomscience.com/ Cordecyps, coriolus and shitake are good starters. Be absolutely sure that you choose a water-processed muchroom because that is what all the clinical trials were done on in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I read somewhere that Reishi and Shiitake extracts are only effective when given by injection whereas maitake is effective when taken orally. > > I was told to take Reishi mushroom supplement, anyone ever heard about this? > > > > > ________________________________ > From: " szukipoo@...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 The AHCC-Immpower is a great multi-mushroom supplement with lots of hard science behind it and the Maitake-Gold, liquid is another that's a good one. good luck... s wrote: > > I was told to take Reishi mushroom supplement, anyone ever heard about this? > > From: " szukipoo@...

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi Allain, One of the reasons why I was attracted to this group was the statement in the description page wherein it says that this group believes in individual experience far more than it believes in double blind placebo studies, etc. I still highly recommend working closely with your doctors. But I also believe in persistently pursuing alternative therapies that could help and have the potential to cure. In the case of 2 very close relatives (the first close relative had ovarian, and the 2nd had testicular), they used Nutriact which is is a mushroom powder beverage by E. Excel. Both of them are now cancer survivors. I do not know much about polysaccharides, etc. but I can say that in both their cases, we believe that this mushroom-based therapy has helped tremendously. Thanks! All the best to you! Ralph, CT > > Hi, > > Anybody in this group using mushroom-based supplements for treatment?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I also recommend mushrooms and there is one product called MTEL at American Specialty products > > > > Hi, > > > > Anybody in this group using mushroom-based supplements for treatment?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I just opened my email today. Thanks for the responses guys. All your comments have been helpful. Anybody in this group using mushroom-based supplements for treatment? I have been told that polysaccharides in certain mushrooms have the ability to inhibit tumor growth by activating immune cells. They help balance the immune system and destroy existing cancer cells and viruses by increasing the production of natural killer cells, interferon and interleukin.
