Ganoderma

Ganoderma belongs to the Polyporaceae group of the Fungi family – Reishi and some formulas contain other mushrooms.

Ganoderma works in the treatment of cancer because it helps cleanse the body from toxins and it helps strengthen the immune system. It enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function and stimulating the regeneration of liver cells – making it a very important supplement for those who have liver cancer.

The anti-cancer agents in Ganoderma are the polysaccharides and Germanium. The Polysaccharides fraction of Ganoderma is largely responsible for its anti-tumor efficacy. Indications for Ganoderma use in cancer include supplementation a) to reduce side-effects during chemotherapy or radiotherapy, b) to prolonging survival and minimize metastasis, c) to improve quality of life, and d) to prevent occurrence or recurrence.

Ganoderma can be used as a supplement during chemotherapy or radiotherapy to reduce side-effects such as fatigue, loss of appetite, hair loss, bone marrow suppression and risk of infection. It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in particular to cancer patients at terminal stages for prolonging their lives and improving their living quality.

Qualities of Ganoderma that help in the treatment of cancer include:

  • It enhances and helps regulate the immune and endocrine system, prevent tumors, improving the circulation and eliminating harmful free radicals.
  • Inhibits DNA synthesis of the 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.
  • It can also reduce the toxic and side effects and mitigate the pains during chemotherapy and radiotherapy
  • Enhances liver detoxification, thus improving liver function and stimulating the regeneration of liver cells.
  • Helps with cancerous ascites, increases appetite and help relieve the pain of late stage cancer.
  • It is especially effective with kidney diseases.

The Red Reishi mushroom is regarded as the most powerful of the Chinese mushroom also known as Ling Zhi. It is considered a ‘superfood’ because it is so highly nutritious.

As a food, it is rich in protein, contains 18 amino acids, polypeptides, polysaccharides, terpenoids, germanium, vitamins and minerals including potassium, magnesium, calcium and germanium. It contains high levels of antioxidants, which help to destroy cancer-causing free radicals.

It is the polysaccharides (complex sugars) that impart the highest degree of immune support and other benefits. The Red Reishi contains the highest number of polysaccharides of all of the varieties of ganoderma. These high levels of polysaccharides are also responsible for the Red Reishi’s remarkable detoxifying powers.

Red Reishi’s ganodermic acids may help alleviate allergies. The mushroom is traditionally used to help asthma and skin conditions like rashes and psoriasis.

Red Reishi is good for people who are under stress. It is regarded as an adaptogen, which helps the body’s defenses against a variety of assaults including environmental and biological ones. Red Reishi helps to improve physical strength and stamina and helps lower blood pressure.

In numerous scientific studies, it has been scientifically proven to treat a variety of human diseases including Lupus, HIV, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and cancers of the lung, prostate and blood. In numerous scientific studies Reishi has been shown to possess anti-tumor properties. Red Reishi also helps to alleviate the symptoms associated with the common allopathic cancer treatments of radiation and chemotherapy.

In China and now around the world, the Red Reishi has a reputation as a ” miracle herb.”  It is thought to be a life extender. It is often used as an overall tonic for the body to alleviate fatigue, increase energy, improve blood circulation and generally improve the immune system. People who use Red Reishi report improved sleep, better digestion and resistance to cold and flu.

What may be most remarkable about Red Reishi is that it has the body to normalize and regulate the body’s systems and its pH balance. This is especially true when it is regularly consumed over a long period of time. This is likely where its reputation for restoring youth, beauty and prolonging a healthy life comes from. Red Reishi is said to improve the quality of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Because it contains so many nutrients and unique healing properties, it is used by alternative health practitioners to relieve all kinds of disease condition including ADD, AIDS, a variety of allergies, asthma, anxiety, depression, angina pectoris, arteriosclerosis, candida albicans, fibromyalgia, Hepatitis B and C, other liver diseases, Parkinson’s disease, pneumonia, shingles and infertility.

In most studies, Red Reishi has a low or no toxicity level in people who do not have an allergy to mushrooms and it generally produces no adverse side effects, even when taken over a long period of time. If you are under the care of a physician or taking anti-coagulants, you should consult your doctor before taking Red Reishi.

Red Reishi’s healing constituents are most bio-available when they are extracted. For this reason, you will find Reishi extract in supplements or as coffee or tea. In fact, many people use Reishi as a coffee substitute. Oils and extracts of the mushrooms spores are also available. You will find Red Reishi available dried whole, powdered and in tinctures at most health food stores. Red Reishi may become even more potent when it is combined with green tea.

About Ganoderma and Ganoderma Coffee

Ganoderma is known among Chinese people as a “magic Herb” that can cure hundred kinds of diseases, and it is also applied for longevity. With selected and high quality of Ganoderma pulverized as raw material, Ganoderma Coffee is produced by modern technical process in a hygienic manner that assures each batch meets high standards of quality and purity. The nutrient ingredients and biological activity ingredients are easy to be absorbed by human body, which can improve the immunity, help in combating against tumor, confront irradiation as well as improve circulation and lower the blood lipid
In Malaysia, Ganoderma was initially cultivated in the 1980s. More recently, hybrid cultures of Ganoderma. Lucidum were used for mass production which only required 40 to 45 days of incubation. The basidiocarps are sliced and brewed as a tonic or as Ganoderma coffee and tea. They may also be powdered or extracted with solvent to yield the finished product which is then made into capsules. Ganoderma Nutraceuticals are used as a remedy to treat more than 20 different illnesses which include migraine and headache, hypertension, arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, anorexia, gastritis, hemorrhoids, hypercholesterolemia, nephritis, dysmenorrheal, constipation, hepatitis, leucopenia, cardiovascular problems and cancer including leukemia.
Active ingredients, which include polysaccharides, organic germanium, triterpenoids, adenosine, LZ-8, and an array of amino acids besides numerous mineral types.

Effect on Hepatitis B
Ganoderma Lucidum has been shown to be effective in the treatment of Hepatitis B resulting in the lowering of SGPT and SCOT levels to normal, and the seroconversion of HBs antigen to HE, antibody3). Extract of Ganoderma Lucidum when administered concurrently with glutathione against liver damage by carbon tetrachloride, proved to be beneficial against hepatic necrosis and hepatitis). It was also discovered that extract of Ganoderma Lucidum could probably augment the rate of toxin transformation and subsequent bile excretion, thereby acting as a liver detoxicant and protectant).
Effect on Diabetes
Extract of Ganoderma Lucidum has also been found to be effective in reducing the blood glucose level after two months of treatments). Ganoderma B was considered to enhance glucose utilization because it increased the plasma insulin level in normal and glucose loaded mice, but did not affect the insulin binding to isolated adipocytes). The hypoglycemic activity of Ganoderma Lucidum is thus due to an increase of the plasma insulin level and an acceleration of glucose metabolism occurring not only in the peripheral tissues but also in the liver.
Effect on Hypertension
Ganoderma Lucidum is also effective in lowering hypertensive blood pressure. This is due to the presence of lanostane derivatives especially geodetic acids B, D, F, H, K, S and Y which exert their hypotensive activities
Effect on Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Acute Myeloblastic leukemic patients were treated with high doses of Ganoderma Lucidum (6 capsules 3 times a day) prior to chemotherapy and continued for a period of three months. The chemotherapy regimen consisting of cytarabine and daunorubicin was given on a monthly basis in order to induce remission. CNS prophylactics were given with cranial irradiation. All the patients had a subjective response when Ganoderma Lucidum was included in their treatment regimen. Changes in their NBC, hemoglobin and platelet counts were either significant or very significant after 3 months of treatment. Despite the remission for the past 3 years, the long term prognosis seems encouraging.
Effect on Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Five patients with stage III nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were given 6 capsules of Ganoderma Lucidum 3 times a day for 1 week before radio-and chemotherapy and continued for a course of 8 months while they were given a complete course of irradiation lasting for 6 weeks. The chemotherapy regimen consisting of cyclophosphomide, lomustine, dannorubicin and vincristine was administered every month for a period of 4 months. Objective response occurred in all the NPC patients with very significant tumor shrinkage after 40 days of treatment with Ganoderma Lucidum in concurrence with radio-and chemotherapy. The tumors were completely regressed after 90 days of combined treatment and were in remission for the last three and a half years. It is conceivable that Ganoderma Lucidum plays an important role in combination with radio- and chemotherapy, thereby rendering the complete regression of the tumors. Since both polysaccharides’ and organic germanium derived from Ganoderma Lucidum are not cytotoxic to tumor cells, the anti tumor effect is attributable to induced immunopotentiation. As an immunopotentiator, Ganoderma Lucidum accelerates the production of interlukin from helper T cells and potentates the induction of different types of anti-tumor cells, such as NK cells and cytotoxic macrophages, in addition to the induction of interferon production. The patients felt more energetic, and had a better appetite and slept better. Nausea and vomiting were mild whereas stomatitis and sore throat were transient. Their pain was alleviated, and no other side effects were observed.
Effect on Wound Healing
Three patients with diabetic wounds were healed between 15 to 22 days. This might be due to the glucan from the cell walls of Ganoderma Lucidum that could activate the fibroblast migration in order to achieve wound healing and tissue proliferation. Considering all these effective findings, further research on Ganoderma Lucidum as a potential nutraceutical for similar illnesses or other ailments seems warranted.

Ganoderma also adjusts the immune system to prevent viral diseases and to prevent and fight tumor, protects and detoxifies the liver, prevents and cures heart diseases, slows the aging process, has a positive effect on insomnia, is a cure for high blood pressure and to treat diabetes, is a treatment for chronic bronchitis and asthma, has effect on hyper susceptibility and is used as a beauty care medicine for the skin.
The spore capsules are the traditional “Emperor’s medicine” against cancer.
