Mushrooms are gaining recognition
as true little miracles, not just in the culinary arts but more
importantly, in the art of medicine. More and more researchers and
clinical scientists are uncovering the amazing qualities of
mushrooms. We have put together a mix that helps against immune
deficiency problems; we recommend it for any pet that suffers from
an illness, either chronic or acute.
Ingredients:
Agaricus Blazei
is a variety of mushroom with anti-carcinogenic potential. Quickly
becoming the most important mushroom for its medical qualities, it
contains the largest concentrations (up to 14%) of 1,3- and
1,6- beta glucans than any other mushroom. Its unique
polysaccharides are selectively cytotoxic on tumor cells.
Research conducted with an extract from this
mushroom indicate that it can be used topically and orally to
prevent lesions associated with skin cancer, as well as inhibit the
growth of various human tumor cell lines in vitro. Brazilian
research indicates that in addition to possessing anti-carcinogenic
potential, it was found that an extract of the mushroom was an
efficient antimutagen in all concentrations and preparations tested.
The active ingredients of this mushroom are known collectively as
Beta Glucan, the most potent immunopotentiating (immune enhancing)
substances yet found. They also have very powerful
anti-tumor properties.
Red Resihi is
used as a daily tonic to maintain and improve good health,
increasing longevity, in the treatment of cancer and resistance to
and recovery from diseases. Used daily, it maintains peak cellular
immunity, improves liver and cardiovascular health, by
reducing blood pressure, cholesterol and platelet aggregation. It is
also used for hepatitis C, increasing oxygen absorption, and by
mountain climbers to combat altitude sickness.
Maitake is being
used for many cancers including breast and prostrate, chronic
fatigue syndrome, diabetes, reduction in blood pressure and to lower
cholesterol levels. Studies at the National Cancer Institute have
shown complete tumor regression in one-third to one-half of the
trials.
Cordyceps is a
Chinese medicinal mushroom which has been used traditionally to
treat circulatory, respiratory and bronchial problems, and to speed
post-operative recovery. It is most famous as the energy and
endurance mushroom.
Turkey Tail and
its immune-enhancing activities have been extensively studied in
Japan since mid 1970's; over 300 clinical studies have been
conducted. The active constituent, PSP (polysaccharide peptide), is
currently gaining respect for its effectiveness against tumors both
in laboratory experiments and in clinical studies. Sloan-Kettering
Cancer Center in New York, and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in
Houston, both recommend this mushroom as a supplement for chemo
patients. Turkey tail it is also gaining recognition for its
remarkable anti-aging qualities, and its use as an anti-virus and
anti-inflammatory in the treatment of infection and inflammation of
the upper respiratory, urinary and digestive tracts, including liver
ailments, hepatitis B and chronic active
hepatitis.
Oyster also
known as Tree Oyster, this mushroom naturally produces
lovastatin, an FDA approved drug for the treatment of high blood
cholesterol. Laboratory studies have shown a 79.4% tumor inhibition
rate against a sarcoma cancer line, and a 89.7% inhibition rate
against a mammary tumor
Chaga mushroom’s
beneficial properties include anti-bacterial, anti-allergic,
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The antioxidant
effects of the mushroom may be partly explained by protection of
cell components against free radicals. Recent research in South
Korea confirmed the chaga mushrooms’ ability to protect DNA. Cells
pretreated with chaga extract before being subjected to oxidative
stresses, showed over 40% reduction in DNA
fragmentation.
Graviola is a
small evergreen tree from the Rainforest in the Amazon. It is known
for its profound healing properties of the immune, circulatory and
lymphatic systems. Historically, herbalists have used the bark as a
sedative and heart tonic, the leaf for liver problems, the oil of
the leaves and unripe fruit is mixed with olive oil and used
externally for neuralgia, rheumatism and arthritis pain.
