Does Ganoderma Or The Reishi Mushroom Help Fight Cancer?

Well...

There are several medical professionals out there who would say yes!

After a little research here is some information we dug up on Ganoderma Lucidum or better known as the Reishi Mushroom on how it could help in the fight against Cancer.

Ganoderma is rich in polysaccharides and Germanium. This polyshaccharide has shown to have anti-tumor abilities. (More research and posts on this later)

Ganoderma and Reishi have also been used by many people to help reduce the side-effects of Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy.

Ganoderma can help with side-effects such as fatigue, hair loss and even infection.

Ganoderma and Reishi have shown to inhibit DNA synthesis of certain cancer cells, destroys the terminal enzyme activity of the tumor cells, promotes macrophages and regulates T and B lymphocytes, thus restraining the spread of cancer cells.

Interesting Ganoderma And Reishi Mushroom Fact

Did you know that Ganoderma has the ability of giving us a medical check-up and finding hidden diseases in the body?

It can then remove the toxins and enable the body to become the best doctor to treat a wide spectrum of diseases with the natural immune system.

Ganoderma’s basic functions are to cleanse the blood: remove toxins; boost the function of the kidney; protect the liver; strengthen the heart; and cleanse the colon.

It also acts as a relaxant with anti-cancer properties. Ganoderma has more than 200 active elements which can be divided into three categories with ratio of:

30% water-soluble elements
65% organic soluble elements
5% volatile elements.

The effects of Ganoderma on the body have to go through five (5) stages:

1. Scanning (1-30 days) - Ganoderma helps to detect hidden disease and toxins in the body and proceed to regulate the body functions. During the process, the body will show symptoms- known as 'ailment reflection". This reaction is not a side effect, but to help us identify the ailing area. This is the scanning effect of Ganoderma.

2. Cleansing-Detoxification (1-30 weeks) - Ganoderma is known as "King of toxin removers" for its power to remove excessive uric acid, lactic acid, excess cholesterol, fat deposits, dead tissue and toxins accumulated in the body. Toxins are discharged through the circulation system - (kidney and liver) by urination and stool, through perspiration, boils, rashes, phlegm and mucus.

3. Regulation (1-12 months) - During the restoring process, many reactions can be observed. Do not be alarmed, this is the sign of the body healing itself. If the reaction is too strong, reduce the dosage.

4. Building-Recovery (6-24 months) - Ganoderma will continue to repair the affected body parts, and strengthen the immune system to be more resistant to diseases. It also supplies the essential elements and vitamins for speedy recovery.

5. Rejuvenation (1-3 years) - The ultimate aim of consuming Ganoderma is to maintain the body functions at its optimum and restore youthfulness.
