Woefully Neglected Preventative Cures

Western Medicine Has Woefully Neglected Preventative Cures
Mushrooms are a vast and largely untapped source of powerful medicinal applications and one of the most mysterious and magical comes from the deepest forests of Russia called Siberian Chaga (Latin name “Inonotus Obliquus”) In the Orient medicinal mushroom usage is legendary, used for centuries in promoting good health and vitality, anti aging and youthfulness, probiotic balancing 8 immunity enhancement. They are currently used as adjuncts in Japan, China, Korea and Russia for cancer, aids, heart, cholesterol, tumor, stomach, allergy, virus, herpes and other bodily diseases.
Siberian Chaga is very unique and very rare. The best species are harvested once every twenty years from select high altitude Birch trees. Out of 10,000 aged trees only 3-4 are classified as “Grade 1 or Superior Type”. Siberian Chaga grows under extreme Artic conditions nurturing in temperatures falling well below - 40°C. to -70 “C One of the most amazing medicinal properties of Chaga versus other well known mushrooms such as Lingzhi, Reishi, Agaricus or Maitake lies in its extraordinary SOD antioxidant level. The SOD content of Chaga is 25-50 times higher than any known medicinal mushroom. Furthermore one serving of Chaga contains more Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) than wild blueberries. Vitamin C, beta-carotene or CoQ10.
The secrets contained in WILDCRAFTED SIBERIAN CHAGA were not revealed until the mushroom was fully researched in Japan, Russia, China and Europe during the 1980s. Over 1400 publications verify the medicinal effects for many different ailments affecting humans.
In Western medicine preventative cure is woefully neglected and the consumer is driven by disease states or dysfunction problems. Further without animal based or human clinical trials to validate the usefulness of health supplements, most consumers fail to grasp medicinal mushrooms as an alternative practice to drugs, chemotherapy or radiation. In the Orient a parallel health care regimen with traditional approaches is much appreciated and well accepted. Although Wildcrafted Siberian Chaga is viewed antidotal by many, there are thousands of satisfied users who have recovered from debilitating diseases and endorsed this powerful and magical formulary.
Wildcrafted Siberian Chaga is 100% natural, safe and non toxic. This proprietary formulation made exclusively for Chaga International Inc. contains the phenomenal Pi water, a revolutionary technology that adds aura energy and deionization effects. Siberian Chaga, besides its extraordinary antioxidant content, contains over 215 phytonutrients such as betulinic acid, saponins, 29 alpha and beta glucans, triterpenes, natural plant sterols and an abundance of minerals, fibers and amino acids.
Scientific and clinical research studies on these constituents report promising benefits for cancer and aids recovery, neurological and heart diseases, digestive, blood sugar, immune enhancement and others. In the Orient Siberian Chaga is associated with stopping the aging process, restoring beauty and youth and boosting one’s Chi or Energy level.

Reishi mushroom and green tea extracts show synergistic effect to slow sarcoma

Washington, Apr 9: A team of researchers has suggested that combining the active ingredients in Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum; Lingzhi) and green tea creates synergetic effects that inhibit the growth of tumours and delays the time of death in mice with sarcomas.

The study led by Yan Zhang, of Pharmanex BJ Clinical Pharmacology Center in Beijing, has cited that both enhance the body's immune functions and hold the potential for treatment and prevention of many types of cancer.Reishi grows in damp, sunless mountain areas and was once a rare commodity. Today Reishi, like green tea polyphenols, is manufactured as an extract. The researchers conducted 2 studies, for which they examined products sold as ReishiMax and Tegreen, made by Utah-based Nu Skin Enterprises. ReishiMax contains high concentrations of the active components in the mushroom itself and cracked spores of the mushroom, including polysaccharides (13.5 percent) and triterpenes (6 percent), and Tegreen is almost completely (98-99 percent) made of tea polyphenols.For the first study, which aimed to look at cancer treatment, mice were first injected intraperitoneally with sarcoma cells and then were given either low, medium or high dosages of ReishiMax or low, medium, or high dosages of a combination of ReishiMax and Tegree. A control group received neither product.All mice died of sarcoma development after treatment for 28 days. But treatment with the combination of reishi and green tea extracts delayed the animals' death within the first 12 days after sarcoma injection, compared to the animals receiving only ReishiMax.For the second study, which aimed to look at cancer prevention, groups of healthy mice were given either low, medium or high dosages of ReishiMax or low, medium, or high dosages of a combination of ReishiMax and Tegreen. A control group received neither product. After receiving the specified treatment for 14 days, mice were given a suspension of sarcoma cells subcutaneously, while the treatments were continued. On day 28, the sarcoma tumors under the skin were recovered from the mice and weighed. The tumour weight was reduced by 45 percent with the combination therapy, but in a much lesser degree with only the Reishi, compared to tumors in mice receiving no treatment, further confirming the synergy of the two together.According to Dr. Jia-Shi Zhu of Pharmanex research Institute in Provo, Utah, these findings suggest the therapeutic values of the combined use of the substances in both cancer prevention and adjuvant treatment. The findings of these studies were presented at Experimental Biology 2008 in San Diego.

Extracts from reishi mushroom and green tea shows synergistic effect to slow sarcoma

Both the reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum; Lingzhi) and green tea have long held a place in traditional medicine in China and other Asian countries, for the general promotion of health and long life and for the treatment of specific diseases. More recent scientific studies have confirmed that both enhance the bodys immune functions and hold the potential for treatment and prevention of many types of cancer. Now a new study by Chinese scientists found that combining the active ingredients in the mushroom and the tea creates synergetic effects that inhibited the growth of tumors and delayed the time of death in mice with sarcomas.Yan Zhang, of Pharmanex BJ Clinical Pharmacology Center in Beijing, reported the results of two studies at Experimental Biology 2008 in San Diego on Tuesday, April 8.

Progression of Sarcoma Slowed by Reishi Mushroom and Green Tea Extracts
