Agaricus Blazei Murrill Mushroom

A few decades ago, researchers noticed that in the mountain region of Ideate

near Sao o, Brazil, a regular part of the local inhabitants' diet was a

mushroom known as " Cogmelo de Deus " or " Mushroom of God " . The researchers also

noted that the local inhabitants were extraordinarily healthy and had a very low

incidence of disease, which they attributed to this magical mushroom.

The scientific name of the mushroom is Agaricus Blazei Murrill, more commonly

called the ABM mushroom and sometimes referred to as Agaricus Brasiliennis. So

potent is this mushroom that one well-known rain forest herbal manufacturer,

uses it as the main ingredient in herbal supplements that have been credited

with success against cancer and other diseases around the world. A link to the

manufacturer is provided on the last page of this book.

In a study conducted by Dr. Shoji Shibata, a professor at Tokyo University,

several other well known cancer-fighting and immune-boosting mushrooms were

compared to the ABM, including Reishi and Shiitake. Dr. Shibata's results found

that the other mushrooms were not as effective as the ABM mushroom, and so the

ABM was ranked at the top of the list of potent mushrooms -- a spot befitting

the " Mushroom of God " ! Other Japanese and British studies have also shown the

ABM mushroom to have the highest concentration of beta-glucan of any mushroom.

The ABM mushroom contains Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan, Beta-(1-4)-a-D-glucan &

Beta-(1-6)-D-glucan. Known collectively as Beta-glucans, these long-chain

polysaccharides are the most potent immuno-potentiating (immune enhancing)

substances yet found. They also have very powerful anti-tumor properties. When

human subjects are given AMB in their diet, a 3000% increase of NK cells, a type

of anti-tumor white blood cell known as Natural Killer cells, is seen in the

blood within 2-4 days.

In addition to beta glucans, agaricus also contains derivatives of ergosterol, a

potent anti-tumor agent; double stranded RNA, an anti-viral agent; proteoglycans

and protein bound polysaccharides of low molecular weight, which are immune

enhancers; and, protein bound polysaccharides of high molecular weight, vitamins

B1 and B2, proteins in the form of amino acids, niacin, iron, and calcium. There

are many verified reports from around the world of this mushroom being used

successfully in late stage cancers that had been determined hopeless and some

clinics in Europe base their entire treatment protocols on agaricus blazei

murrill mushroom extracts and other complimentary botanicals. In fact, in many

published studies, the rate of cure for all types of cancer has been in the high

ninety percentile range, even for stage 4 lung cancer, where many complete

remissions are often seen in just a few weeks.

Coriolus Versicolor - the Asian " Turkey Tail " mushroom

Contains polysaccharides [PSK] and polysaccharopeptides [PSP]) -- effective for

acute leukemia and stomach, esophagus, colorectal, lung cancer; PS is effective

with many types of cancer (at least early and mid-stage cancer), including lung

cancer and particularly stomach & colon cancer; NCI reportedly stated that PSK

has been " contemplated for use against... mammary cancer, gastrointestinal

cancers, such as those of the esophagus, stomach... colon; lung... brain tumors "

and that PSP " has... anti-tumor activities, inhibiting Ehrlich ascites tumors,

leukemia, and sarcoma... gastric tumor, lymph, and monocytic leukemia " ; good to

take during chemo & radiation -- including acute leukemia patients.

Shiitake Mushrooms

Shiitake mushrooms lower cholesterol and improve immune system function, good

for preventing high blood pressure and heart disease, for controlling

cholesterol level, building resistance against viruses, and fighting diseases

such as AIDS/HIV and cancers. Often available fresh, Shiitake mushrooms are very

flavorful when used in cooking! If you cannot find them fresh, they are

available as a supplement also.

Maitake Mushrooms

Are high in nutrients including Vitamins B-2, C, D, niacin, magnesium,

potassium, fiber, and amino acids, contains the polysaccharide compound

beta-1.6-glucan which naturally stimulates the immune system and lowers blood

pressure. Beneficial for obesity and diabetic patients, the Maitake mushroom may

be best known for its cancer fighting ability. Tests in mice prove that it

blocks tumor formation and boosts the immune system. Available fresh or as

supplement.

Reishi Mushrooms

The Reishi mushroom can increase the production of interleukin 1 and 2,

resulting in inhibition of tumor growth. Studies show that Reishi can have a

number of other positive effects on the body such as analgesic,

anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-viral (through its interferon production),

lowers blood pressure. It also acts as a cardiotonic by lowering serum and

increasing the production of interleukin 1 and 2, which results in inhibition of

tumor cholesterol, expectorant, anti-tissue, liver protecting and detoxifying,

protection against ionizing radiation, antibacterial, and anti-HIV activity.

Available fresh or as supplement.

Subject: [ ] Mushrooms coriolus versicolor sloan kettering

 

Sloan kettering recently published a study that was a review of studies about

coriolus versicolor mushroom also known as turkey tail. I've been researching

alt cancer supplements for 4 years and seldom feel compelled to add anything to

my regimen of about 50 pills/day. After reading this study I have replaced my

ahcc and beta glucan with coriolus extract. The sloan kettering paper was pretty

convincing. I'd link to it but I'm in the desert with limited net ability.

[Guest guest]

I think mushrooms are quite effective, particularly

chaga/reishi/maitake/shiitake/cordyceps/agaricus blazei/coriolus versicolor.

It's important to use a good brand. I would use

www.jhsnp.com/store/immunebuilder.html or

www.newchapter.com/products/lifeshield-immunity or www.HostDefense.com

www.jhsnp.com (MushroomsScience) claims it “is still the only company that

sells only guaranteed potency hot water extractsâ€.

Will Beta Glucan #300 work just as well?

[Guest guest]

This has been the great debate for me as well. Coriolus vs. the BG #300. My

mom was taking the #300 with good results until the Integrated Medicine Dept. at

Sloan Kettering put her on the Coriolus. She's in the middle of chemo now,

struggling with her blood counts. To test which was better, I convinced my mom

to stop the coriolus and take the #300 for 6 weeks. When she did, her numbers

stopped declining and even went up! Yet this study and her docs say coriolus is

superior, especially for metastatic colon cancer (my mom's issue). Mom is

switching back this week to the coriolus because she had purchased a ton of it

and mentally can't get past the fact that the Sloan folks say it is so much

better for her. We will see if the numbers go way down again. Personally, my

gut tells me the #300 is the best.

What is BG 300? Is she taking mega vitamins, co-q 10 and trace minerals too?

[Guest guest]

It's a beta glucan derived from bakers yeast. There is a great book called Beta

Glucan: Nature's Secret by Vaclav Vetvicka, Ph.D. He has spent his entire

career studying glucans in the lab. I contacted him about my mom's situation

and he assures me that time and time again, the Beta Glucan #300 beats other

forms when tested against cancer cells.

She is currently not on CO-Q10 or trace minerals. Are they particularly

effective for colon cancer? I am still fairly new to this (she was diagnosed at

the end of Sept.) and I am trying to learn all I can. Right now she is doing

partial Budwig diet, 6000 IUs of Vit. D, curcumin, milk thistle because of the

chemo, beta glucan, papaya leaf extract for platelets, and B6 for neuropathy.

She's also taking a multi-vitamin.

If you have any opinions on other things that can help with colon cancer, I

would love to hear them.

All the Best,

Kim

Hi Kim:

My opinion is that 6,00 units of vitamin D may not be enough. The blood level

needs to be higher for fighting cancer and should be at least 80. Use a lab that

uses the same proceduce as Lab Corp for testing. Chemo destroys the good

bacteria in the intestine, it would be a good idea to repleace this with a high

quality probiotic with at least 10 strains. The probiotics will detox as well.

Many cancer patient are taking between 15,000 to 20,000 units of vitamin D3. Of

course testing is the only way to know for sure how much to take to keep the

level above 80. 

You might want to check into selenium as well.
