Chronic Disease Testimonials

Brain tumor patient recovering consciousness in just 2 months.

We have made many discoveries. Using brain disease patients as examples, one 70 years old plus patient in the hospital had a 5 cm brain tumor. He had already lost consciousness despite surgery. He began the reishi treatment around June of 1986 and by September, he had recovered his senses, but the size of the tumor had remained the same. However by December, the tumor had decreased in size, even the neurologist was amazed. The patient now feels very well. Initially he was administered 6 grams of reishi essence through a stomach tube. After the recovery of his senses, oral intake was administered. The patient did not like the bitter taste of reishi essence, so the amount was reduced to 3 grams. Although the dosage had been reduced, his brain tumor eventually shrunk to about 1 cm. With the return of his memory, he left the hospital and stayed home with the family instead.

- Recession of lung cancer within 6 months.

I once treated a fifty plus female patient who had breast cancer. After her breast surgery, she had developed metastasic lung cancer. Later she deteriorated to hemoptysis. She began to use about 6 gm. of reishi daily for 6 months and the cancerous lung tumor disappeared. Before, she is often short of breath, but now she can walk up the stairs effortlessly. Therefore, she has complete confidence in the continuation of the reishi treatment.

- Breast cancer cured in 2 months with mega dosage.
This patient had breast cancer and the cancer cells had matastased to the bones. She had not been able to move from the head down. The pain was excruciating. Luckily, her digestive system was not affected and she was able to take 9 grams of reishi essence daily, which was later increased, to 20 grams. In just 2 months, she felt no pain. She had been discharged from the hospital after she made progress in her walking ability.

- Cancer of rectum spreading to the liver with remarkable recovery in 6 months.

Some time ago, this patient came to the hospital for treatment of metastasis of rectal cancer to the liver. He was given 6 grams of reishi essence. In 6 months, CT scanning reported that the cancerous tumor had decreased to about 1 cm in size, but the CT specialists did not believe in the merits of reishi and insisted that there was a mistake in the scanning. I was angered by this and argued that not only had the patient's CEA swelling came down but his general health had also improved. Was it not enough proof? Ordinarily, it is difficult to treat rectal cancers. Some cases are even terminal. This patient had such a smooth recovery which could only be credited to reishi. Generally speaking, it is easier to treat rectal tumor under 3 cm in size.

- Pancreas cancer patient can walk again.

A 60 year old male pancreas cancer patient had surgery and was in a better state for a while, but later deteriorated. He had edema and lost weight. Examination results revealed that he had extremely high count of CA19-9CEA. I informed him that with his present treatment he would die within a short period of time. I advised him to be hospitalized. Due to financial reasons, he was given another kind of medication but he reacted unfavorably to it. Therefore, we had to change his treatment to 9 grams of reishi essence orally and 30 grams of Vitamin C through intravenous injection daily. This began from August of 1986 which was over 1 year ago. The patient had since completely recovered and various examinations could not detect symptoms of any kind. He has gone back to work but continues to take 5 grams of reishi daily. He comes for a follow-up examination every 2 weeks and repeat CEA examinations show that his CA19-19 counts continues to drop. There is many more such cancer cases in my hospital. Although cancer cases involving the brain, lungs and liver are more serious, I feel that it is easier to treat than the cases involving the digestive organs. It is harder for the patients of the latter to ingest reishi orally. Besides cancer, reishi is also very effective in the treatment of hepatitis. With the use of 1 gram to 3 grams of reishi essence daily, hepatitis patients will have tremendous recovery results.

- Hepatitis cured with reishi.

One patient who had hepatitis for a few years and his SGOT & SGPT count was 200 - 300. Normal range is under 30. I administered 3 grams of reishi daily and in about 2 -3 months his SGOT & SGPT dropped to around 50. Even this is still higher than normal, continuous use will bring it in range. During this time, I asked him to stop using reishi and immediately the count shot up to between 150 - 200. The count dropped when treatment resumed. Thus proving the effect of reishi on hepatitis. A combination with the use of Vitamin C is essential. Under these conditions, 6 grams of Vitamin C is needed, i.e. 3 grams of reishi essence with 6 grams of Vitamin C. We must understand that hepatitis is a chronic disease and relapse is ever present. It is necessary to continue the intake of reishi (using smaller dosage) even after one's recovery from hepatitis. Prevention is always the best measure. Reishi is just as effective against other chronic diseases and optimum results are obtained when combined with the intake of Vitamin C. Especially true for long term prevention use. In conclusion, reishi has been proven to exert significant effect on diminishing pain, fortifying the body's immune system and prolonging life. Even though its role in cancer control has not been determined 100 percent yet. Medications presently employed to combat cancer have their effect but unfortunately these also produce serious side effects. Reishi have a history of 3,000 years, during which time it is widely used by many people with no reported unfavorable side effects. I therefore recommend reishi for treatment and prevention as a safety measure. I hope that people from all walks of life will take a concerned interest and share in this project. Hopefully, in the very near future, reishi can bring a brighter outlook to the human race in the conquest of longevity.

Ganoderma For Positive Cancer Treatment

A doctor once said, "Cancer is a serious disease, but it is not fatal. Patients have a good chance to recover." This statement sounds consolatory but basing on our recent research data, it can very well be true.

The prestigious Japanese doctor, Dr Fukumi Morishige, M.D.,Phd., currently involved in the research of reishi's role in cancer control, is a researcher at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science & Medicine - an American institute that had been awarded the most Nobel prizes. He also occupies an important role in Europe's medical fields as well, and is the only Japanese authority employed by the international cancer group. The following is his speech and case reports on reishi.

I have been a surgeon for 37 years and have performed numerous operations. I have a keen interest in surgery especially when I was young but gradually questions began to appear. Always feel that the ideal would be to induce the natural immunity power within oneself.

Being a surgeon, I had countless occasions to encounter cancer cases; however, the key to cancer controls is in its early detection, which is easier said than done. About one in a hundred would be considered a good percentage.

Nowadays, regular physical check-ups is the trend and this is good practice, but we have to realize that one cannot let our guards down just because cancer was not detected at the time of check-ups. People often suspect the physicians of misdiagnosing when cancer was detected at a later date. This notion is incorrect as there are many undiscovered cases even with monthly check-ups. For example, in the case of penetrance type stomach cancer, it is one of the most difficult to detect and these account for about 25% of the cases, therefore, prevention is equally important.

It is better to employ preventive measures in the case of cancer but there are no set methods. One can always rely on dietary control, but here again it is not a prescribed regiment. The best method at the present is reishi. I do not know of its amazing effects until after I have used it and I am truly surprised. During my practice, I have obtained outstanding results using reishi either as preventive measures or during the course of treatments.

Earlier on, I have come across patients and their relatives praising the merits of reishi. But being a medical person, I have thought that it might have a slight effect on certain chronic diseases but on cancer, surely, must be greatly exaggerated.

Reishi's tremendous effect warrants further studies. In June of 1986, a 39-year-old female came to me with lung cancer and complications of the chest wall membrane. She had been told that she could not be operated on by a number of hospitals. She left in a hopeless state. Upon returning home, her husband started to feed her reishi. After my examination, I was surprised by the findings: 6 months ago, she had edema in the chest cavity, secondary to cancer and now the symptom had completely disappeared. For a person who have already made her funeral arrangement and waiting for death to rediscover there is hope for life, is incredible. X-ray had presented an even better picture when I am going through her medical history. She insisted that this was the result of her husband giving her reishi. The edema had drained while the cancer tumor remained. On a rough calculation, this patient had used about 4 grams of reishi essence daily and this was quite a high dosage. We further undertook exploratory surgery and by using special freeze technique, it was possible to perform operations on chest membrane cancer. Looking at the x-ray, no cancerous cells were found. Only scar tissues were evident, which were different from cancer cells. I did a biopsy of the lung tissues and detected malignancy, but stable. The next case involved a child with congenital liver cancer. He had one operation when he was 5 years old and later, had his small intestines removed due to metasiasis. The treating doctor felt that the patient's condition was terminal and stopped treatment eventually. The boy's parents brought the patient home and fed him reishi through an N.G. tube (Nasogastric tube). The boy came to me when he was 9 and I was unable to detect any diseases. Nothing was found in the CT scan examination as well. Congenital liver cancer is a form of juvenile carcinoma and I was much surprised that the patient recovered after just regular ingestion of several grams of reishi essence. He continues to take 2 grams of the essence daily. Even the boy knows that without the reishi he might not have lived today. Juvenile carcinoma is usually fatal, but then this patient remains alive and healthy with no physical ailments are truly amazing. This fact now calls for new consideration on my part. When a person recovers by undergoing no other treatment but reishi ingestion, it is obvious that reishi deserves further research.

I was provided with large quantities of reishi essence from a very reputable chemical company in Japan. I administer the same to my patients in mega dosage combined with Vitamin C. Within one year, about 500 kilograms of reishi essence (approximately 6000 kilograms of premium reishi) were used on my patients. An interesting fact have surfaced during my treatment is that where large doses of reishi essence induce melena ( i.e. several grams or more daily), combination with Vitamin C put a stop to this. Furthermore, numerous observations have confirmed the fact that cancer patients are generally more susceptible to contract other diseases due to their lowered body resistance. However, after being treated with reishi, complications due to such inflections are greatly diminished. I have assigned random cancer patients to administer reishi essence with a control group of patients with other illness, e.g. arthritic rheumatism, chronic bronchitis, hepatitis etc., that is, people with lowered body resistance to diseases.

Immunogloburin test determines the level of immunity. We have found that after ingesting reishi, level of IgA, IgG, IgM have increased. This proves that reishi can elevate the body's resistance level.

At this time, I have 140 cancer patients. All have metastic cancer except 6 with breast cancer and 60 are being hospitalized. We have zeroed in on these cancer patients. Up to today (spring of 1988), about 300 patients have undergone testing.

WHY IS REISHI EFFECTIVE AGAINST CANCER: POLYSACCHARIDES

Before I give case examples, I would like to unveil the secret of why reishi is so effective in the treatment of cancer. The conclusion is not fully understood at the present time and when it is, then, men would have found the ultimate cure for cancer. Employing all the latest medical technology, it is found that the polysaccharides in reishi are effective in suppressing cancerous cells. Japanese scientists are the first in making this discovery. Perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the country employs herbal medicine in treatment of diseases and conducts vigorous researches into polysaccharides. This fact is recognized in North America and is further awaiting findings from such Japanese researches.

WHY ARE POLYSACCHRIDES IN REISHI EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

Polysaccharides are made up of a high number of molecular components - up to millions of atoms and this makes it difficult to be absorbed into the human body system. In order to make it easily assimilated, its high count has to be lowered and using Vitamin C with reishi does just that. The polysaccharides are converted into oligoglucan that has a low molecular count and can be easily absorbed. It in turns stimulates the macrophage, which triggers the immune system in our body. Macre meaning big. This type of cell can devour any foreign organisms. They are not active when the body is functioning normally, but, in the presence of foreign organisms (e.g. bacteria), they become very active in attacking such bacterial foreign matters. The white blood cells in the blood stream comprise the initial defense against diseases but they are ineffective in chronic cases or malignant type of matters, at which time, the lymphocyte becomes the second line of defense. Failing that, the last defense will be the macrophage - it is like a sleeping lion being awakened to attack with truly exceptional result! They are capable of sweeping away any foreign organisms thus destroying the cancerous cells in the process. Under the microscope, the macrophage is observed to be one tenth the size of a cancer cell, yet, it possesses the power to destroy the latter. From this, we can understand their invaluability to the human body. However, the macrophage cannot be easily activated. We have found that aggregated atoms are responsible for this activation of the macrophage, and reishi contains the substance to manufacture these aggregated atoms.

REISHI - A HIGH MOLECULAR POLYSACCHARIDES

Earlier a patient with high blood pressure had inquired into the effects of reishi. I had told him that there was certainly no harm in trying as I had conducted research at that time. One fact is: even a diluted dose of reishi essence lowers blood pressure. However this patient had maintained his blood pressure level after reishi ingestion. Following my suggestion to ingest Vitamin C together with reishi, his blood pressure dropped to an acceptable level. The reason for this is, as mentioned previously, reishi contains up to a million atoms and cannot be easily absorbed into the body; therefore, one should combine it with Vitamin C.

Seventeen years ago, I have conducted research into the Vitamin C's ability to break down polysaccharides. At that time, the method of viscosity gauge has been employed. Placing Vitamin C into a measure of polysaccharide substance, a decrease of the polysaccharides molecular count is indicated by a drop in the viscosity. Thus, confirming Vitamin C's ability of dissolving polysaccharides.

Animal experiments have shown that all forms of sugar can be absorbed but are just the opposite in human, why? This has some correlation with Vitamin C - human body is unable to manufacture Vitamin C, while animals can. This is the reason why we need to combine the intake of Vitamin C with reishi.

New medical findings indicate that there is no harm in taking high dosage of Vitamin C daily. Dr. Linus Pauling, who is now in his 80's, ingests 18 grams of Vitamin C daily, and I ingest 12 grams a day. I believe a healthy person needs a supplement of 1 gram to 2 grams a day, that is 1,000 - 2,000 mg. This can contribute greatly to one's well being.

Liver Disease & Ganoderma

Detoxification through Liver Protection by miraculous herb Ganoderma Ganoderma lucidum is able to protect the liver from damage by various physiological and biological factors. Moreover, effect can be obtained either pre-or post-damage. Ganoderma lucidum speeds up metabolism of both medicine and toxic substances in liver, leading to curing of toxicated hepatitis. Ganoderma lucidum is also suitable for treating chronic hepatitis, effectively eliminating the related symptoms as dizzy, fatigue, and so on. Ganoderma lucidum can be used to treat chronic toxicosis, the various kinds of chronic hepatitis, and other hepatic diseases. Liver is the largest internal organ and is called the 'Chemical Factory' of the body It is a reddish brown organ, weighing 1.2kg -1.5kg in adults, which lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. The cells of the liver are called Hepatocytes, which are surrounded by a thick network of blood vessels called Sinusoids. Babylonians referred to the Liver as the seat of Human Soul, on seeing the rich supply of blood to the liver. There are more than 50,000 lobules in the Liver, which process about 200ml. of blood every rninute. During this process, various nutrients are easily transferred from the porous capillaries to the hepatocytes. Hepatocytes carry out more than 500 biochemical functions required by the body. One of the most important products of the liver, the Bile, is secreted by these hepatocytes and then fed in to the network of bile ducts. Bile plays a crucial role in proper digestion of the food. Liver functions play a crucial part in the health and strength of the body as a whole. Some of the important functions are as follows: Elimination of all toxic substances from the blood by detoxification. Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. Stores excess dietary sugar forfuture needs. Regulation of Protein metabolism. Synthesis of plasma proteins, clotting factors, transport proteins. Regulation of Haemoglobin metabolism. Regulation of cholesterol metabolism. It converts it to bile acids, which are then either excreted or used in the emulsification and digestion of fats. Regulation of hormones. Concentration of these hormones depends on the efficiency of the liver. Storage of various Nutrients, Amino Acids, Glycogen and Vitamins A, D, and B-complex vitamins (including vitamin B12, iron and copper). Liver plays a significant role in the immune system of the body. Toxins and Liver In the liver, there are specialized protector cells called "Kupffer cells', which are located on the membranes of the sinusoids. These cells act as filtration units for the hepato-toxins, which are in systemic circulation, from damaging the liver cells. These Kupffer cells also help in storage of excess, un-metabolized dietary Iron, which may otherwise damage the liver cells In spite of such protection being available with the liver, it is still under serious threat from the external factors. Medical orthodoxy, till dale, has not recognized the fact that the average lifestyle, today, imposes a good amount of toxic overload on the Liver Though, the liver has the natural capacity to regenerate, it cannot cope with such an overload of toxins and is therefore forced To suffer silently. Prolonged toxin overload on the liver reduces a number of liver functions, which incapacitates the body as a whole. The same also leads to malfunctioning of The immune system, resulting in Autoimmune Disorders. This explains the paradox of how the body's own immune system is fooled into attacking the twelvth body, which it is designated to protect. Hepalo-toxicity is common all over the world and people suffer from a wide range of ailments, which include the following: Chronic fatigue arid obesity. Depression, stressand Insomnia. Auto-immune disorder. Allergies and sexual dysfunction. Headaches, Weakness and Irritability. Hormonal imbalance and Thymus malfunction. Jaundice, Hepatitis, Liver Cancer and Haemochromatosis. Liver Cirrhosis LIVER CIRRHOSIS Cirrhosis is the most fatal disease and is the twelvth leading cause of death, killing about 26,000 people every year, around the world In the case of cirrhotic liver, damaged (scar) tissues replace the healthy tissues, resulting in blockage of the normal flow of blood to various liver cells. Once the blood circulation to the liver cells is disrupted, the normal liver functions fail. All other functions of the body, being dependent on the liver, get progressively affected. Liver Cirrhosis is a major metabolic derangement, which specifically affects the metabolism of ammo acids. Ammonia level in the blood increases due to several enzymatic reactions in the body, during various metabolic processes. Healthy Liver normally converts blood Ammonia into Urea, which prevents excess Ammonia in the blood. But when the Liver is cirrhotic, the Ammonia conversion is affected. This increases the blood Ammonia level beyond tolerable fimits. Ammonia is very toxic to central nervous system and is the major reason for the coma that occurs in patients with liver failure. Scientifically, the causes for Cirrhosis have been identified to be, Alcholic Iiver disease. Chronic Hepatitis C. Chronic Hepatitis B and D. Autoimmune Hepatitis. Inherited diseases like Heamochromatosis, Wilson's disease, Galactosemia, Glycogen storage disease. Nonalcoholic Stealohepatitis (NASH). This type of hepatitis is associated with diabetes, protein malnutrition, obesity and coronary artery disease. Blocked bile ducts. Drugs, toxins and infections. Symptoms Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells, liver function starts deteriorating and at this point symptoms surface out. Patient may experience symptoms such as Exhaustion, Fatigue, Weakness, Weight loss; Loss of appetite; Nausea; Abdominal pain and Spider-web like blood vessels (spider angiomas) that develops on the skin surface on the belly area. As the disease progresses, complications may develop. Complications of Cirrhosis Loss of liver function affects the body in many ways. Following are the common problems or complications caused by cirrhosis Oedema and ascites : When the liver loses its ability to make the protein albumin, water accumulates in The legs (oedema) and abdomen (ascites). Bruising and bleeding : When the liver slows or stops production of the proteins needed for blood clotting, a person will bruise or bleed easily. The palms of the hands may be reddish and blotchy with palmar erythema. Jaundice : Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes that occurs when the diseased liver does not absorb enough bilirubin. Itching : Bile products deposited in the skin may cause intense itching. Gallstones : If cirrhosis prevents bile from reaching the gallbladder, gallstones rnaydevslop. Toxins in the blood or brain : A damaged liver cannot remove toxins from the blood, causing them to accumulate in the blood and eventually reach the brain. In the brain. Toxins can dull mental functioning and cause personality changes, coma and even death. Signs of there buildup of toxins in the brain include neglect of personal appearance, unresponsive-ness, forgetful-ness, lack of concentration and/or changes in sleep habits. Sensitivity to medication : Cirrhosis slows the liver's ability to filter medications from the blood. Because the liver does not remove drugs from the blood at the usual rate, they act longer than expected and build up in the body. This causes a person to be more sensitive to medications and their side effects. Portal hypertension : Normally blood from The intestines and spleen is carried to the liver Through the portal vein. But cirrhosis slows the normal flow of blood Through the portal vein, which increases the pressure in side it. This condition is called portal hypertension. Varices : When blood flow through the portal vein slows, blood from the intestines and spleen backs up into blood vessels in the stomach and esophagus. These blood vessels may become enlarged because They are not meant to carry this much blood. The enlarged blood vessels, called varices, have thin walls and carry high pressure and thus are more likely to burst If they do burst, the resull is a serious bleeding problem in the upper stomach or esophagus that requires immediate medical attention. Insulin resistance and Typo 2 diabetes : Cirrhosis causes resistance to insulin This hormone, produced by the pancreas, enables blood glucose To be used as energy by the cells of the body. If you have insulin resistance, your muscle, fat and liver cells do not use insulin properly The pancreas tries to keep up with the demand for insulin by producing more. Eventually, the pancreas cannot keep up with the body's need for insulin, and type 2 diabetes develops as excess glucose builds up in the blood stream. Liver cancer : Hepatocellular carcinoma, a type of liver cancer commonly caused by cirrhosis, starts in the liver tissue itself. It has a high mortality rate. Problems other organs : Cirrhosis can cause immune system dysfunction, leading to frequent infections. Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) may become infected with bacteria normally present in the intestines, Cirrhosis can also lead to impotence, kidney dysfunction and failure and osteoporosis. Case Study Fora better understanding of the disease and recovery through the use of DXN products, let us take the case of Mr. G.E.Krishna Kumar (44yrs; Chennai India), hs suffered a Heart attack in June 2000 and then underwent Angiciplasly on 12"' August During the post operative period, he was diagnosed To be suffering from 'Drug induced Hepatic Dysfunction' LIVER CIRRHOSIS. Since Then, he was on various medications, but no improvement was noticed As the last resort. Liver Transplant was advised by the Doctors. Meanwhile, he continued to suffer from various problems such as, Ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen ), oedema on the legs non-healing ulcer on the umbilical region, typical Spider-web formation on the abdominal surface,frequent fever and vomiting of blood during June and December 2002. He was totally bed-ridden for more than a year. February 2003 Started wilh 1 pair of RG/GL capsules, increased to 4 pairs from Ihe third week, for six months RG powder was externally applied onto Ihe UmDifical ulcer. Two Cups of DXN Tea consumed every day. Subsequently, changed over to Lmgzhi 3-in-1 coffee thrice daily. 30ml of Morinzhi juice was taken daily of Morrnzhi juice was taken daily. May 2003: Overall health condition improved very well. No blood vomiting after February 2003. No frequent attack Of fever or nausean Good digestion; Good Appetite cycle- Very good bowel habits. Very good improvement in the bio- chemistry levels Enzyme (SCOT SGPT) levels, Serum Bilirubin, Electrolytes and Proteins Bilateral pedal (both lens) oedema reduced by 90% No fluid tapping from his abdomen. The girth reduced from 34" to 31' Skin condition improved. The hyper pigmentation patches disappeared completely. Spider web formation on The abdomen surface reduced. Same consumption pattern of DXN products continued further. Scientific Observations based on practical experience: At present, there are nut enough medicines available for Liver ailments. Onfy products sourced from plants, like Liv 52, Tefrofi are prescribed. A lot of research work is going on around the world to find suitable medicines for Liver ailments. Under these circumstances, Ganoderma and Morinzhi have been very helpful in Liver ailments All the Therapeutic elements in them have worked in synergy to improve the health. Polysaccharides and Trkerpenoids in Ganoderma by activating the natural immune system, help in detoxification of the liver cells, which leads to reduction of toxin over-load on the liver. Adenosine in Ganoderma improves the blood circulation and vascuiarity This improves the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells. It also enhances the distribution of enzymes and hormones To all the cells. Adenosine also improves The fat-metabolism and thereby contributes to liver functions. Tri-terpenoids in Ganoderma activate various liver cells and also repairs the damaged cells, by providing high nourishment to the cells. Ganoderic essence in Ganoderma acts as an antioxidanl, by protecting the cell membrane. Selenium in Monnzhi is an excellent antioxidant It is also an activator of cell nucleus. Xeronine in Morinzhi improves digestion and absorption of nutrients, specifically proteins, there by helps the liver functions. Various phytonutrients, like the vitamins, minerals and ammoacids, from Ganoderma and Morinzhi contribute towards liver cell building and metabolism. There is no side-effect or drug interaction observed. This goes to prove the theory of 'Adaptogen', to which classification Ganoderma belongs. Conclusion - Ganoderma and Morinzhi are to be consumed, as a 'Co-active therapy', in addition to the medical treatment, whichever be the line of medicine. Ganoderma and Morinzhi are quite safe lo patients, even on long term consumption and even at higher dosage of consumption. Major organs, like the liver, take a long time to recover due to their bio-complexity. But improvement in quality of life of the patient and protection from further damages may be noticed within a few months. These benefits are rarely noticed in other herbs, which make the Ganoderma and Morinzhi unique.

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.
 * Sources: McGeer and Rogers (1992); Corrida et al. (1996)


 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.

Working of Ganoderma

·        SCANNING

o       During this process, the body cells are checked for Toxins and Inactivity. Most of these kinds of defects at the cell level are reported by way of REFLECTIONS through the external organs like eyes, nose, ear etc.  This is just a diagnostic phase which normally occurs within 6 weeks of starting Ganotherapy and lingers for about 5~7 days. 

·        DETOXIFICATION ( CLEANSING )

o       (8-30 weeks) 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.  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.

·        REGULATION ( 1 ~ 12 months )

o       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 )

o       In this phase, the damaged cells are repaired and reconstructed. Inactive cells are re-activated. Body’s natural immune system is activated.

·        REJUVENATION ( 1 ~ 3 years )

o       It is a continuous process through-out life and during the process, body gains youthfulness. Oxidation of the cells prevented and ageing of the cells delayed. The natural immune system is activated at all levels.

YOU FEEL WORSE
