Ganoderma Lucidum herb is effective in treatment of acute or chronic hepatitis and other liver disease

Reported by Dr. Mitsui Hashimoto of Hashimoto Hospital

At present time, hepatitis is still a disease which cannot be effectively treated with any specific method. If Ganoderma Lucidum is effective, it would be a meaningful medicine for this liver disease.

Six capsules per day were prescribed to some patients with hepatitis. There months later, all the patients were recovering. Their GOT and GPT values decreased from 200 – 300 to 100.

In addition, one patient who used Ganoderma Lucidum together with some Chinese herbal medicines saw a decreased GOT and GPT.

There was one case of hepatitis combines with hypertension. After taking this herb, satisfactory results were obtained.

The above conditions cannot be conclusive, but positive results on hepatitis can be expected. When liver function is declining, the patient may get tired. Taking Ganoderma helps to ease fatigue.

The belief that “liver disease is incurable” should be abandoned

The liver is the most important organ for health. Liver function is quite complicated. Therefore, liver disease is considered difficult to treat and dietetic treatment is the only method adopted by Western physicians.

However, Ganoderma Lucidum is able to make the complicated organ regain its normal functions. Based on our practical investigations, this herb can contribute a very positive effect.

Dr. Shigeru Yuji reported that 10% of liver disorders could be cured after taking Ganoderma herb for two months. 40% of the patients were relieved of their symptoms, and their liver size was reduced. 50% of the patients felt their symptoms diminish.

Ganoderma-Hair-Skin and Nails

Posted on by
Reply

Today I had my regular visit with my rheumatologist (every 6 weeks now instead of every4 weeks!). We went over the usual: he checked the skin on my face, my hands, we checked my muscle weakness, and we talked about my fatigue.

I showed my rheumatologist how my classic lupus/scleroderma hands had totally changed. He was impressed. There is still some swelling but my cuticles are almost completely healed. He felt that the skin on my cheeks was almost NORMAL! He said that I’m stronger (yes, I can tell!). I showed him all the new hair that I’ve grown, and how strong and long my nails are. I’ve never had nails like this except when I was pregnant with my sons back in 96 and 99.

But most of all, he’s thrilled with my blood work. ALL of my liver functions are completely normal now. My CPK (the muscle enzyme that was up to 3500 last summer – indicator of the polymyositis) is 47! It’s been 43-47 for several weeks now! My white blood cell count was a little low, so he LOWERED MY IMMUNE-SUPPRESSIVE MEDS!! That’s the azathioprine/Imuran.

So, now I’m down to 10 mg/dl of prednisone (down from 60) and we started to lower my azathioprine. Oh! And even better, my other doctor last week lowered my Warfarin (Coumadin) because my blood is thinner!

Hmm, the coincidences here of the Ganoderma helping to balance the immune system, helping to naturally prevent coagulation in my blood, being reflected in my blood work… Well, you be the judge.

I told my doctor that I felt that things really started to turn around for me when I started the Ganoderma. BTW, I told him back in February when I started it, and he OK’d it. Anyway, today he said that clearly the Ganoderma/Reishi/lingzhi was doing great things for me and to continue taking it!

We talked about how this might help other patients with auto-immune disorders like my lupus/scleroderma/polymyositis. He said that he can’t recommend it to people, but that he certainly can tell them about my experience and tell them how to go look it up, and where to get it.

Wow. Think of all the people with all these devastating illnesses that just MIGHT get better from this herb. All these people whose lives might be changed, who might be able to stop living with pain, who might regain the energy to PLAY WITH THEIR CHILDREN AGAIN. Wow!!

What’s So Special About The Ganoderma Mushroom?

Posted on by

Ganoderma mushroom is from the Mycetes kingdom. These are generally short and tiny fungi that are unable to manufacture their own nutrient through photosynthesis like green plants.

They can either Earth breed or lead a parasitic life by breaking down and surviving on nutrients of other plants and animals. However, due to the increasing worldwide popularity of Ganoderma mushroom as medicinal herb, this fungus is now mass produced with scientific cultivation method.

Within the kingdom of Mycetes, Ascomycetes are the lower grade while Basidiomycetes such as Ganoderma Lucidum and mushroom are of a superior grade.

The Basidiomycetes have a very close relationship with mankind. Many are edible and have excellent healing properties. These fungi naturally become the more precious medicinal herb in the Basidiomycetes kingdom.

Generally, mushrooms family can improve immune system by activating Macrophage and Natural Killer (NK) immunity cells. Macrophage is one of our important first line defence against virus, bacteria and foreign substances. NK cells are responsible to kill cancer cells.

Some can even improve allergic conditions such as skin allergy, nose allergy and asthma. Some of the beneficial medicinal mushrooms are:

  • Golden needle mushroom (Flammulina velutipes)
  • Shitake (Lentinus edodes)
  • Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
  • Agaricus Blazei (Agaricus blazei murrill)
  • Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)

All these fungi can prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, hardening of blood vessel and even cancer. But of all the fungi, Ganoderma Lucidum significantly stands out in its medicinal values.

However, you may ask…

Among these mushrooms, it is proven that Agaricus Blazei Murill (ABM) has the highest concentration of beta glucan polysaccharides. So, does Agaricus Blazei Murill mushroom has the best anti-cancer effect?

That’s right. ABM is the best mushroom for anti-cancer property. But comparing AMB with Ganoderma Lucidum, which one is better?

Ganoderma Lucidum does not only contains beta glucan for anti-cancer, it also contains Organic Germanium. This precious mineral has been proven to have strong anti-cancer effect too. Having both beta glucan and organic germanium together greatly enhance Ganoderma mushroom ability to fight cancer.

Besides, Ganoderma Lucidum contains Triterpenes to help cleanse our blood vessels from cholesterol and fatty substances.

Ganoderma mushroom even has Superoxide Dismutase (SOD). This enzyme functions as our primary defence line against free radicals in our body. SOD in Ganoderma Lucidum can help to protect against attack from harmful free radicals. This makes Ganoderma mushroom one of the best fungi for anti-free radical and anti-aging.

In a Chinese medical encyclopedia “Ben Cao Gang Mu” (Materia Medica – Detailed Outline of Medicinal Herb), an ancient medical practitioner Lee Shi Zhen in the Ming Dynasty classified Ganoderma Lucidum as a “superior herb”.

He grouped Ganoderma mushroom into six categories by its color and form, namely Green, Purple, Red, Yellow, White and Black Ganoderma. All six types have its own medicinal values and healing effects.

According to the record, “continuous consumption of Ganoderma mushroom makes the body light and young, lengthening life and making one like an immortal who never dies”.

Later, modern medical researches on Ganoderma Lucidum proved the findings of those ancient medical texts. That is why for over 2000 years, Ganoderma mushroom is highly praised in China. The Chinese calls it the auspicious herb, which also influenced their literacy and arts.

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.

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 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.

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.

Red Reishi is said to improve the quality of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

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.

Called the “mushroom of immortality”, this fungus is considered by Chinese medicine to be a qi tonic and longevity promoter. Considerable research has confirmed reishi’s ability to enhance immune response.

“It treats fatigue, respiratory complaints, heart disease and liver ailments” says Efrem Korngold, O.M.D., L.A.C.

Improves immune function – has antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-carcinogenic properties – reduces cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar.

Reishi may cause dizziness, skin irritation, diarrhea, or constipation and interfere with blood clotting. Pregnant and nursing women should not take it. Use as advised by a TCM practitioner.

1.5 to 9 grams of dried mushroom daily; in tincture, 1 ml. a day; in powder form, 1 to 1.5 grams daily.

The mushroom shows definate anti-bacterial and anti-viral activity, concluded several Korean studies, two of them published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Meanwhile, a report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry illustrates reishi’s potency as an antioxidant. Labratory and animal studies in Japan and at the Methodist Research Institute in Indianapolis indicate that the mushroom may surpress the growth of leukemia and cancers of the breast, prostate, colan, and throat. It also helps prevent internal blood clots and decrease blood sugar, according to Chinese researches. Studies in the United States and Switzerland, respectively, suggest that reishi lowers blood pressure and reduces cholesterol.

Powerful Brew

Q I was diagnosed with acid reflux disease and found it unbearably uncomfortable. My doctor prescribed Nexium, but that medication did not last the 24 hours it was supposed to. My mother bought a product called reishi coffee for me. After one day, I noticed a great reduction in my symptoms. The burning sensation, the nausea, the horrible taste in my mouth all disappeared within two weeks. I found that it has a wonderful effect on my acne as well.

A The beverage you describe is simply coffee blended with reishi (also called lingzhi). It is a tasty way to get reishi into the diet. Your results are not at all unusual for this famous East Asian mushroom.

Coffee that’s good for you? A cup of reishi can stop acid reflux and clear acne.

Reishi ( Ganoderma Lucidium ) grows in coastal areas of China and is found on decaying logs and tree stumps. Brewed as a beverage, the dried mushroom actually has an earthy taste, like coffee, so the flavors are compatible. This beverage is a common commercial tea preparation in Asia.

Reishi mushroom is lauded for its digestive properties. It promotes liver function, which can play a role. The starchy nature of its constituents has a coating effect in the gut. In a study published in 2002, rats were given stomach ulcers and then treated with reishi polysaccharides, which produced a healing effect on the mucous membranes. The anti-inflammatory properties can also help with acid stomach.

Considered “the mushroom of immortality and spiritual potency,” reishi is well know as an adaptogen (a general tonic for long term stamina). It is arguably the most revered herbal substance in Asia, surely ranking with ginseng as the elite medicine of choice. It has been used by Asian hermits, monks, Taoist adepts and spiritual seekers. In Chinese medicine, reishi is used to prolong life. Experiments with mice have confirmed this effect.

Reishi also enhances physiological resistance to stress. Many of my colleagues reach for reishi as their first herb of choice for promoting a sense of balanced energy and calm mood. It treats insomnia long-term.

Reishi has demonstrated immune support in numerous studies. It has anti-tumor activity, as well as being antiviral and antibacterial. One study found that reishi tea reduces pain from shingles. It broadly reduces allergic reactions, and is used by herbalists for food allergies. The immune effects are thought to be largely from its polysaccharides, which are also the active ingredients in Echinacea and astragalus.
Reishi has analgesic, nervine relaxant and anti-allergic effects (inhibiting histamine release and all types of hypersensitivity reactions). It is an antioxidant; and it regenerates liver tissue that has been lost due to liver necrosis or hepatitis. In one study, 355 patients diagnosed with hepatitis B showed improvements in liver enzymes and improved symptoms. Reishi is more effective in cases in which the liver impairment is not considered severe.

Reishi is cardiotonic and promotes blood circulation. Active ingredients reduce platelet stickiness. Ganoderic acids, which have a molecular structure similar to steroid hormones, may lower blood pressure as well as decrease LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. These specific triterpenoids also help reduce platelet stickiness.

Reishi is anti-inflammatory, so the benefits to your acne are not surprising. Drink two cups per day of reishi coffee, brewed according to label instructions. Take 3 to 10 gm of reishi per day, brewed as a tea, or in capsules.

Reishi has anti-tumor activity, as well as being antiviral and antibacterial.

Acne-Ganoderma Solution

Posted on by
Reply

Popping out one by one. Acne is such a troublesome skin problem. It’s disturbing to see our face covered with red dots everywhere.

Most people solve their acne problem using skin care cream or antibiotic cream. Some even take drug medications. But often, they discover their skin problem keeps coming back again and again.

So is there a way to solve acne problem once and for all? Can herbs for acne really help?

Tip of an iceberg

Acne is actually the tip of an iceberg of other inner health problems. That’s why conventional treatments only give temporary relief. It only deals with outer symptoms but neglected the inner root cause.

So what’s the inner root cause for acne?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) points out excessive body ‘heat’, especially liver heat, as one of the main cause for acne. If your condition is minor, you can greatly improve it without taking any herbs for acne. Simply follow these lifestyle changes to reduce your inner body heat and improve your acne.

Acne-free lifestyles

1) Reduce sun exposure
Acne problem is more common among people living in tropical country because the weather is hotter. Exposure to sun raises your body heat.

2) Sleep early
Late sleep increases your body heat. Everyday, your body operates on natural biology clock. In TCM, at each two hours interval, major energy changes occur in your body.

These energies affect your body organ functions. Late sleep disturbs its balances, causing ‘heat’ build up. So to improve acne, remember to sleep earlier, preferably before 11 pm.

3) Reduce fried, grilled and spicy food
These are foods high in heat. But it’s the most delicious to eat. So for the sake of your face, you must control taking it.

4) Drink more water
Water absorbs body heat and passes it out through urine. Water also helps in body detoxification.

5) Control anger and stress
These unhealthy emotions raise your body heat and cause hormonal unbalance.

Herbs for acne

What if your acne condition only improves slightly after your lifestyle changes? Well, you can take some natural herbs for acne that give a more significant improvement. Different herbs have different functions in improving acne.

Dainty spurs (Rhinacanthus Nasutus) and Jiaogulan (Gynostemma Pentaphyllum) are the first important herbs for acne. These herbs are high in medicinal values and can quickly reduce your body heat. They are good for body detoxification too.

The second cause for acne is hormone imbalance especially among teens.

Royal Jelly is one of the best supplement to regulate body hormones. Besides, Royal Jelly can nourish your liver with its high content of natural nutrients. A healthier liver makes your skin smoother and makes you look more vibrant.

Ganoderma herb for acne

Here’s how Ganoderma herb can help to improve acne. The third cause for acne is toxics accumulation in your body.

If you have constipation, your intestines will absorb toxics from the feces back into your body. These toxics can circulate to various body parts through blood circulation. If it arrives your face, it certainly causes acne.

One of the herbs for acne to detoxify your blood and liver is Ganoderma Lucidum. This herb has strong detoxification ability with its high content of Organic Germanium and other minerals. That is why taking Ganoderma Lucidum herb makes your skin smoother.

Temporary reaction

For serious acne condition, be prepare for the temporary reaction. The detoxification process removes excessive toxics through the skin, causing more acne at the beginning. When detoxification completes, acne automatically reduce. This is a very normal process.

In addition, taking Ganoderma Lucidum as herbs for acne can improve blood circulation and increase immune system. This further aids in acne improvement.

With proper lifestyles, diet and herbs for acne, you’ll definitely see permanent improvement after a few months.

Regularly using Oregano Gold G3 Soap containing Ganoderma, Grapeseed Oil and Glutathione helps deep cleansing your pores and tightening the skin which may also help to overcome your Acne outbreaks.

Autism Testimony-Organo Gold (Mycelium)

Posted on by
Reply

My son Joshua is 13 years old, and was diagnosed with autism when he was about 6. He is considered to be moderately autistic.

Within 2-3 days of my son starting on the Ganoderma and Mycelium, he started speaking in full and spontaneous sentences, he had full and normal eye contact with everyone, his receptive language skills really grew, and his ability to follow directions has greatly improved.  He is more of what I call ‘living in the moment’; really aware and participating in what is going on around him, interacting with his brothers and initiating play with them. His sleep has gotten allot better, and he is doing some things that every normal teenager would do, like sigh and say ‘OK’ when I say no to him. He is also joking, and is able to understand something that is said that is not a direct command to him. For example, I had called out to his brother that it was time to get off the computer, and Joshua immediately went to the computer, seeming to understand that it was his turn now without me having to directly tell him.

One of the jokes he did was with his one-on-one tutor. This might not seem like a big deal to people, but it’s a huge deal for an autistic child. They were together, and Joshua stepped up next to her, passed gas, giggled and stepped away. A normal behavior with humor attached!

Along with this, after Joshua started taking these pills, all the people that he interacts with on a regular basis started commenting about something being up with him because he had become such a chatterbox and they couldn’t believe it.

After 3 years of homeschooling, he is now able to return to the school system!

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.
