Ganoderma: Effects On Health Issues

"The "King of Herbs"

                                                      

The humble reishi mushroom, or ganoderma lucidum, is receiving lots of press these days.  There are well over 10,000 studies on its properties.  But all of this hoopla is old news in the Far East, where it's medicinal uses have been employed for over 4,000 years.  However, without the studies, the numerous claims for this "king of herbs" would push the limits of belief.


Ganoderma contains over 400 bioactive components. Over 300 studies have identified triterpenoids, polysaccharides, nucleotides, sterols, steroids, fatty acids, proteins/peptides, and trace elements.


What this alphabet soup means for you is that ganoderma is shown to be:

adaptogenic - triterpenes give Reishi a kind of harmonizing effect on the body.  This provides protection                        from a wide range of biological, environmental, and social stresses.

immunomodulating - adjusts the immune response to a desired level, which may provide hope for auto-                                    immune, as well as under active immune response

antiatherosclerotic - counters clogging or hardening of blood vessels caused by                                                                       accumulations of fatty deposits, usually cholesterol
anti-inflammatory -  reduces inflammation in tissues and joints

analgesic -                ganoderma has been used to eliminate pain and inflammation
chemopreventive -   shows promise as a disease preventative (see the PDF download)
antitumor -               may help prevent the formation of malignant tumors; anticancer
radioprotective -      protects or aids in protecting against the injurious effect of radiation
sleep-promoting -     self explanatory

antibacterial -          destroys or inhibits the growth of bacteria
antiviral (including anti-HIV) - destroys or inhibits the growth/reproduction of viruses
hypolipidemic -        promotes a reduction of cholesterol levels in the blood
antifibrotic -            causes regression of fibrosis (non-elastic, fibrous tissue)
hepatoprotective -   helps protect liver function (see below)

diabetic/hypo-glycemic - an adaptogen, ganoderma helps regulate blood sugar levels

anti-oxidative/free radical-scavenging - reduces oxidative damage to the cells of the body
anti-aging - helps delay or lessen the effects of aging, especially due to its anti-oxidative properties


This amazing super adaptogen has been shown in real world studies to hold promise for affecting every major system in the body.


 LUNGS:
The main job of the lungs is to 1) pick up oxygen; 2) exchange that oxygen for carbon dioxide from the red blood cells; 3) eliminate the carbon dioxide as waste. Without oxygen, we could only live a few minutes. It is a vital ingredient for virtually every major process in the body. Low oxygen means low energy. This vital function is complicated by the fact that lungs inhale air from an environment that is seldom pristine. They're exposed to bacteria, viruses, dust, and other pollutants. The immune response to these air-borne toxins range from coughs, sinusits, asthma, bronchitis, COPD, pneumonia, and cancer. As people age, the elasticity of its tissues begins breaking down. This affects the lungs' ability to breathe effectively and remove these toxins.
The common thread in these disorders is inadequate immune response.  Ganoderma has been shown to help promote proliferation, differentiation and functions of dendritic cells. It also increases phagocytosis of macrophage and natural killer cells -  our body’s army against invasive bacteria and viruses.


BRAIN:
The brain represents only 2% of the human body weight, yet it it receives 15% of the cardiac output, 20% of total body oxygen consumption, and 25% of total body glucose utilization - consuming at least 20 per cent of the body's calories even when at rest.
Neuro-degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, motor neuron disease, and Huntington's disease are caused by the gradual death of individual neurons, leading to decreased movement control, memory, and cognition.
Blood, glucose and oxygen are components of a healthy functioning brain. When neurons in a particular region of the brain are highly active, they consume a great deal of oxygen, which results in recruitment of extra blood flow to that region.
Ganoderma's anti-inflammatory properties show promise for brain function in the elderly.  In a 37 year longitudinal study involving over 2ooo men and women, it was shown that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents can slow the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease.*  The germanium in ganoderma is an efficient oxygen carrier - allowing for up to three times greater oxygen levels in the blood and brain.

 HEART:

The heart pushes blood through the vascular system to all parts of the body, even to its far extremities.  The heart can pump almost 9 pints of blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels every minute.* Over a lifetime of 70 years, the heart beats some 2.5 billion times without tiring or stopping for a rest.  Obviously, protecting the heart is of vital importance.  Ganoderma can help in the prevention of heart disease, especially heart attacks, by its powerful antioxidant effect.
First, it contains Adenosine, a powerful vasodilator that improves blood and oxygen flow, helping overcome angina and coronary artery disease. It also activates phospholipase, a platelet inhibitor that prevents clot formation and regularizes blood flow thereby preventing heart attack.  It has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels.  Cholesterol can narrow the coronary arteries, reducing blood and oxygen, causing "Coronary Artery Disease".

 KIDNEYS:

The kidneys are fist sized organs located above the waist in the back. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million kidney cells, or nephrons. Nephrons absorb back nutrients from the blood and expel waste materials as urine. Your kidneys filter about 53 gallons of fluid a day. Kidney cells that have died cannot be revived. Herbs can only strengthen the function of remaining kidney cells, preventing further damage.  Only when kidneys are left with around 20% to 30% of the original cells do medical reports start to show abnormal indicators.
Ganoderma's nucleic acid strengthens the kidneys to help a) neutralize toxicity; b) reduce protein in the urine; and c) break down cholesterol.
Professor Fumio Tsurudani of Nagoya University Medical Institute, Japan, performed an experiment with patients suffering from renal disease to check the effectiveness of Ganoderma. It was found that it could a) lower protein in the urine; b) lower blood cholesterol; c) maintain proper renal function.  


 IMMUNE SYSTEM:
 The immune system has the task of protecting the body against disease by identifying and killing pathogens and tumor cells. Pathogens include a wide variety of agents, from viruses and bacteria to worms. The trick is distinguishing them from the organism's own healthy cells and tissues
Immunodeficiency diseases occur when the immune system is less active than normal.  Conversely, autoimmune diseases result from an overactive immune system attacking normal tissues as if they were foreign organisms.
The beta glucan polysaccharide in Ganoderma is especially potent to deactivate cancer cells.* The extremely high concentration of polysaccharides in Ganoderma promote:

•  immunoglobulin generation,
• T and B lymphocyte proliferation,
• cytokine secretion of interleukin-1, interleukin-2, and
• interferon γ.

These can increase our body resistance against the invasion of bacteria and viruses.

 PANCREAS:

The pancreas is an oblong, flattened gland located deep in the abdomen - sandwiched between the stomach and the spine. The work of the pancreas we are most familiar with is the insulin and glucagon it secretes  into the bloodstream. These hormones help maintain proper blood sugar levels. It also produces enzymes that help in the digestion of food. When the pancreas loses its ability to secrete insulin and glucagon, diabetes may result.

 Conventional treatment for diabetes uses medications to suppress blood sugar levels. However medicines don't cure it. It only reduces and maintains the blood sugar levels. Long term medication for diabetes causes two main side effects. One is the hardening of blood vessels, causing stroke and heart disease. The other side effect is the interference with fats metabolism, causing a patient to become obese and to put on weight.

Studies have shown Ganoderma Lucidum to have a blood sugar lowering effect.**  Ganoderma's polysaccharides cause an influx of calcium into the pancreas, resulting in insulin secretion.* Ganoderma constituents Ganoderans A, B, and C helps in several ways: 1)elevate plasma insulin levels; 2)enhance peripheral tissue utilization of glucose; 3) enhance liver metabolism of glucose.

LIVER:

The Liver, our largest internal organ, is called the 'chemical factory', and is our major organ of detoxification.  More than 50,000 lobes in the liver  process about 3 gallons of blood every hour. During this process, liver cells perform more than 500 biochemical functions required by the body.

Everything that enters the body has to be broken down to either use or discard.  Every morsel of food, every drop of alcohol, any drug, chemical or pesticide that enters is broken down into its basic component parts by the liver.

Ganoderma can help liver function:

• Ganoderic acid acts as an antioxidant protecting the cell membrane
• Tri-terpenoids repair damaged cells
• Adenosine improves blood circulation to, a) enhance enzyme and hormone distribution; b) improve nutrient and oxygen supply to the cells; c) increase fat-metabolism, contributing to liver function.

FREE RADICAL SCAVENGER: 

"Free radicals" are the body's politically incorrect molecules. Radicals are created as a waste product of normal cellular metabolic activities, improper lifestyle, toxins, and environmental pollutants. They are responsible for causing dangerous chain reactions in cells that can lead to a variety of medical problems, not the least of which are cancer and coronary heart disease.  They have an electrically unbalanced charge, which makes them want to "steal" an electron from other atoms - like our body cells.  What happens to our body as a result is much like what happens when rust attacks a car.
Antioxidants neutralize the oxidation process of those invading free radicals, and can reduce and reverse DNA damage.  Even the most expensive antioxidant on the market can only boast a fraction of the 100’s of antioxidants found in Ganoderma Lucidum. For comparison sake, orange juice has 6 antioxidants. Green Tea has 13. Ganoderma Lucidum has over 100 antioxidants that target 6 key areas of your body - your immune system, heart, lungs, joints, blood sugar and blood pressure.  Science is finding that you are as young, or old, as your cells!


BLOOD:
 Blood is the body's transportation system. It delivers nutrients and oxygen, takes away waste, and helps mobilize the body's immune system.
We have seen above how ganoderma can help maintain healthy blood in several key areas.  It helps: decrease blood pressure, increase blood oxygen levels, normalize cholesterol and blood sugar, and increase lymphocyte and killer cell production.


We will be happy to provide more data upon request.

Ganoderma - The Health Benefits of Ganoderma

What Is Ganoderma?

More commonly known as reishi, ganoderma is a hard, bitter mushroom used to promote health and longevity in traditional Chinese medicine. Proponents claim that ganoderma can relieve fatigue, keep cholesterol in check, curb high blood pressure, tame inflammation, build stamina, and support the immune system.

An increasingly popular natural remedy, ganoderma is only used as a medicinal mushroom and isn't recommended for cooking.

Ganoderma Research

Ganoderma shows promise in reducing cholesterol levels and easing allergy-related inflammation of the airways, according to preliminary evidence from animal-based studies. Here's a look at more of the science behind ganoderma's health-enhancing effects.
1) Cancer and the Immune System
Often used as an immune stimulant by people with cancer (as well as HIV), ganoderma has been shown to strengthen immunity as well as combat cancer-cell proliferation. In a 2003 study of 34 people with advanced-stage cancer, for instance, taking ganoderma in supplement form three times daily for 12 weeks led to a significant increase in T-cells (known to play a central role in immune defense).
Lab tests on breast cancer cells, meanwhile, found that combining extracts of ganoderma and green tea heightened the mushroom's ability to slow cancer-cell growth.
2) Antioxidant Benefits
Several small studies have suggested that regular use of ganoderma supplements may increase your levels of antioxidants, compounds thought to protect against disease and aging.
3) Relief of Urinary Tract Symptoms
In a 2008 study of 88 men with urinary tract symptoms, researchers found that ganoderma was significantly superior to placebo in providing symptom relief.

How to Use Ganoderma

Ganoderma is available in capsules and liquid extracts, both of which can be found at health food stores. You can also take ganoderma in tea or coffee form, but beware that the flavor may be bitter.
Some people experience dry nose, dry throat, nausea, and gastrointestinal problems (such as nausea) when taking ganoderma. Since the mushroom might interact with certain medications (such as anticoagulants and some chemotherapeutic agents), it's important to tell your physician if you're currently taking or considering the use of ganoderma.

Chinese Herbs for Diabetes

In Chinese Medicine, diabetes is considered to be a condition of disharmony in the body called Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome. Diabetics can often experience symptoms of severe thirst and hunger while losing weight. The ancient Chinese noticed these tendencies, and identified the condition according to its external symptoms, in spite of the fact that they could not determine a person's blood sugar levels at the time. There are many Chinese herbs that have been traditionally used for Wasting and Thirsting Syndrome. The beneficial effects of these herbs for diabetics are now being borne out by modern research being done in China.

One Chinese herb that shows promise in the treatment of diabetes in called mai men dong or ophiopogon. Research done in China has demonstrated that it can potentially stimulate regeneration of cells in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The cells in this part of the pancreas are responsible for the proper production of insulin, and therefore the proper processing of blood sugar in the body. Stimulating regeneration of these cells can potentially reverse diabetes in adult-onset diabetics.

Another Chinese herb that shows promise for people with high blood sugar is tian hua fen or trichosanthis. Tian hua fen has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in Chinese research studies. It is very commonly used in herbal formulas for diabetics. Other commonly used herbs include astragalus and Chinese wild yam.

An Asian vegetable which is also used as an herb, called bittermelon, or momordica charantia, has also been shown to lower blood sugar levels in diabetics in studies done in China and in Thailand. This vegetable also may have antibacterial and antiviral properties. In Asia, it is being considered as a potential treatment for AIDS, HIV, and hepatitis C.

There are also other Chinese herbs that can be useful for the many symptoms associated with diabetes. The Chinese herbal formula Ming Mu Di Huang Wan is used in China for the vision problems that diabetics often experience. Other herbs can be used to improve blood circulation and stimulate healing. This can be very beneficial since diabetics often heal more slowly from cuts, wounds, and other injuries and also because they tend to have poorer circulation. Many of these herbs may be beneficial for diabetic neuropathy. Diabetics often have nerve pain or uncomfortable nerve sensations that can be alleviated with the use of herbs. Acupuncture can be beneficial for this as well.

As you can see, although the ancient Chinese could not easily monitor blood sugar levels in diabetics, many of the herbal treatments they used for people who exhibited the symptoms of this condition are being shown to be effective in modern research trials in other countries.

If you are diabetic and you are taking medication to control your blood sugar levels, it is best to have your blood sugar monitored while taking these herbs, and have your doctor adjust the dosage of your medications accordingly, so your blood sugar doesn't drop too drastically. It is likely that you will eventually be able to taper off of the herbs and medication, until you can control your disease primarily through diet and exercise.

Five Steps to Regain Your Health Using Ganoderma

SCANNING (1 - 30 days)
During this process, the body cells are checked for toxins and inactivity. Most kinds of defects at cellular level are reported by way of REFLECTIONS through the external organs like eyes, nose and ears.

• Diseases are caused by imbalance of body function.
• RG can help regulate the body functions.
• From the reaction, we can identify the ailing area. This is known as the scanning effect of RG.
• RG contains all the natural elements of Gano water soluble, organic and volatile elements.

This is just a diagnostic phase which normally occurs within 6 weeks of starting Ganotherapy and lingers for about 1 - 30 days.

DETOXIFICATION (CLEANSING) (1 - 30 weeks)
Detoxification is the first step to healing, and healing the body is your first step to a longer life.

1. During this phase, the unwanted / harmful matters (called the toxins) are removed from the body. The body using its own natural excretory mechanism, which is activated by Ganoderma, carries out this process. This phase takes place for about 5-12 days, depending on the level and quality of toxins.
2. Uric acid, excess cholesterol, fat deposits, calcium deposits, and chemicals are toxic. The detoxification phase helps to remove such toxins from the body.
   The toxins are removed from the body though:
   a. Sweating
   b. The circulation system  - (kidneys and liver) & then discharged from the body through urination & stools.
   c. Boils, rashes, phlegm and mucus discharge.

During this process of detoxification, water soluble toxins (e.g. sugar, uric acid) find their exit through urine and sweat. Fat soluble toxins (e.g. cholesterol) are easily disposed off through phlegm.

During the detoxification phase  the sometimes body feels hot and thirsty. This is a sign that the body needs more water to discharge the toxins. Gano by itself is not heat inducing.

Sleep and eating times are most important. When you are healing, your body uses energy to self-restore.  If you eat late (after 8 pm) it will use that energy to digest your food instead. The healing process occurs between 11 pm – 2 am, while you are (or should be) in deep sleep. If your body systems are not in “rest” mode at those times, the healing is drastically hampered.

When detoxifying for the first time, some may experience a reaction within 3-10 days, and some can have a reaction 2-3 months later.  The reaction may not be limited to one experience only. Most people will get some sort of reaction. A light reaction may last up to 2-5 days, a severe may last 7 to 30 days.

It is to be understood that health improvement largely depends on the consumers own body condition, level of toxins in the body, duration of suffering from any ailment and the other lines of treatment one is undergoing. But one can certainly expect a good overall improvement in health with continuous consumption of Ganoderma over a 12 month period.

REGULATION (1-12 months)
The bio-Chemical as well as bio-electric factors of the body are balanced and the organ functions are regulated to normal levels.

BUILDING (6-24 months)
In this phase, the damaged cells are repaired and reconstructed. Inactive cells are re-activated. Body’s natural immune system is activated.

Process of building & healing parts of the body that have sustained injuries or damage.
Strengthening the immune system, physical strength, and mental calmness, more resistance to diseases.
Supplying essential elements to the body, such as minerals and triterpenoid for the recovery of bodily functions.

REGENERATING (1-3 years)
It is a continuous process through-out life and during the process our body gains youthfulness. (Oxidation of the cells prevented and ageing of the cells delayed) The natural immune system is activated at all levels. It is a process where our body continues functioning at its optimum level.
