Medicinal mushrooms are known as some of the most potent immune boosters and disease fighters in the world.
The most potent of these is the Agaricus Blazel Murrill mushroom. It's native to Brazil and known there as "The Mushroom of God."
However there are many varieties of mushrooms that have also proven to be very effective and popular. Here's a look at them:
* Agaricus Blazel Murrill Mushrooms
In the mountain region of Ideate near Sao Paulo, Brazil, a few decades ago, researchers noticed a regular part of the local inhabitant's diet was a mushroom known as "Cogmelo De Dews" or "Mushroom of God."
What the researchers noticed was the local inhabitants were extraordinarily healthy and had a low incidence of disease, which they attributed to the mushroom.
The ABM Mushroom (the scientific name is Agaricus Blazel Murrill) was found to be so potent that a well-known rain forest herbal manufacturer uses it as the main ingredient in herbal supplements. This mushroom has been credited with success against cancer and other diseases around the world.
Dr. Shaji Shibata, a professor at Tokyo University found that the ABM Mushroom was the most effective of all the other mushrooms studied.
* Corioelus Versicolor Mushrooms
Also known as the "Turkey Tail" mushroom it's effective for acute leukemia and stomach, esophagus, colorectal, lung cancer. also stomach and colon cancer. It's even good to take during chemo and radiation including acute leukemia patients.
* Shilitake Mushrooms
This mushroom helps lower cholesterol and improves immune system functions. It's also good for preventing high blood pressure and heart disease, for building resistance against virus, and fighting diseases such as AIDS/HIV and Cancers
* Maitake Mushrooms
These mushrooms are high in Vitamins B-2, C, D, Niacin, Magnesium, Potassium, fiber and amino acids. It contains beta-16 glucan which naturally stimulates the immune system and lowers blood pressure. It's also beneficial for obesity and diabetic patients, but it may be noticed more for it's cancer fighting ability.
* Reishi Mushrooms
The Reisha mushroom can increase the production of interleuken 1 and 2, resulting in inhibition of tumor growth. Studies have shown that the Reishi can have a number of positive effects on the body such as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-viral and it lowers blood pressure.
* Cordyceps Oglossoides Mushrooms
Like many other mushrooms, it contains complex sugars and other nutrients which seem to strongly nourish and activate various components of the immune system, useful in treating cancer, chronic fatigue and other immune disorders. Some other things of value are, it has positive effects on the cardiovascular and nervous systems, and also has an anti-aging effect.
* Phellinus Linteus Mushrooms
The Phellinus Linteus mushroom is made up primarily of polysacharrides and can suppress cancer growth, anglogenesis and invasive behavior of breast and other cancer cells through the inhibition of AKT signaling. It also stimulates the immune system and induces apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells.
Isn't it fantastic that we live in a world of so many natural health remedies and they are so affordable too. The abundance of botanicals, vitamins, minerals and supplements are available to help us fight illness and boost our immune system. You should now see how medicinal mushrooms can play such an important role in your overall health functions.
Since there is such an abundance of nature's medicinals available to all of us, isn't it a shame that most people are not aware of them. Instead they resort to taking the prescription drug that their doctor recommended they take. A much better choice would have been one of nature's medcinals, which is much more cost friendly and
safer too.
It's very concerning to me that this scene plays out in America thousands of times a day. We desperately need for it to end now. Everyone of us here in America can eventually make it end if we will just decide to refuse to take prescription drugs, and instead find a doctor willing to treat us the alternative medicine way.
