Cancer, HIV and mushrooms as treatment

From the onset, let us please be clear about one thing – we do not try and propose or suggest that mushrooms can be the cure for cancer or for HIV/AIDS, yet would like to point out that certain mushrooms, like maitake, shiitake and reishi have yielded good results when taken by cancer and HIV patients.

We have found that people normally buy our Tri-Mushroom Capsules to compliment their immune system - especially after an illness, or when exposed to prolonged periods of stress, which negatively affects the immune system.

Studies are under way in which the effectiveness of maitake mushrooms will be measured for the treatment of advanced breast and prostate cancer.

The cancer fighting compound found in maitake mushrooms are called “maitake D-fraction” which has shown promise in breast and colorectal cancer, as well as liver, lung and stomach cancer as well as leukemia.

Shiitake mushrooms contain lentinan, which Japanese scientist proved to have immune stimulating properties, which, although it does not kill the cancer cells directly, activate the immune system’s lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) and natural killer cells (NK) to deal with cancer cells and keep inflammation at bay.

They further found that shiitake’s lentinans promote the formation of immune system chemicals – such as interleukin and TNF (tumor necrosis factor) that prevent the spread of cancer.

Reishi mushrooms have also shown promise as they stimulate the production of interleukin-2 and also contain ganoderic acids, which are active against liver cancer. As a matter of fact, it is also good to use them in mild cases of cirrhosis of the liver and to help prevent alcohol-induced fatty liver.

HIV treatment cancer treatment hiv

Maitake mushrooms were found to further stimulate and enhance the action of the “T cells” in the body, which is of use to HIV patients, and have also shown in “in vitro” studies to kill off the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) virus.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) cancer treatment hiv

Although some tests have shown that maitake can increase the production of interferon, patients with multiple sclerosis should not take therapeutic amounts without medical advice, as maitake mushrooms also stimulate the formation of gamma-interferon, which promotes the destruction of nerve tissue.

Chronic fatigue syndrome cancer treatment hiv

Shiitake mushrooms have been found to help with both chronic fatigue syndrome as well as Lyme’s disease, as it stimulates the NK cells.

High and elevated cholesterol cancer treatment hiv

Bad cholesterol (LDL) levels can be lowered when shiitake mushrooms are taken, as tests on the active principle – eritadenine – indicated that the LDL accumulated in the liver and was converted to HDL – or good cholesterol.

In animal studies, reishi has shown to lower LDL levels in the blood as well.

Infections cancer treatment hiv

Reishi mushrooms are helpful to fight infections as they stimulate the maturation of macrophage cells, which can engulf and neutralize bacteria, which is particularly helpful to prevent secondary infections and chronic bronchitis.

Stress cancer treatment hiv

Using reishi mushrooms can help to reduce stress and to diminish emotional outbursts during long periods of stress.
