Re: Chaga, The Medicinal Mushroom, Advancements In Fighting Cancer

[Guest guest]

Hello, while what you say may well be true, I'm always a bit

skeptical when it's promoted by a seller of the item. Anyone else

have info on this mushroom?

Hi,

I share your skepticism. The post was from someone who is a multi-level

marketer of chaga. I would much rather see someone post info about

chaga without simultaneously offering to sell it to us!

With regard to the potency, efficacy of chaga, there is a novel

called " The Cancer Ward " by Solzyienitzin(sp?), in which he writes

quite a bit about chaga. One or two of the characters in the story who

have cancer take chaga and they recover.

However, I am not at all certain whether chaga is any better than

several other species of mushrooms purported to have anti-cancer

properties, such as shitake, reishi and agaricus blazei.

Best of health,

Elliot
