Allergies and Asthma- Ganoderma

Dear Friends,

The article ”The Use of Ganoderma Lucidum in the Management of Histamine-Mediated Allergic Responses” was written by Martin Powell from the UK who is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner and lecturer who has been involved in the clinical use of mushroom nutrition for over 10 years. He studied Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham, then acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese massage (Tui Na), initially at the London School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then inTaipei and Shanghai. He runs a practice in Luton, and  coedits Mycology News and lectures on TCM and on mushroom nutritionat the University of Westminster and abroad.

Martin Powell, in his article  highlights the benefits of Reishi mushrooms in the treatment of both allergies and asthma. He states that allergies are caused by an immune response to a number of things  like dust, pollens, foods, chemicals, and stress.

One way he suggests that we  can deal with the problem of allergies is by enhancing our body’s immune system through consumption of health supplements like reishi mushrooms.

Mr Martin Powell concludes that Reishi mushrooms can help trigger the body’s defense mechanisms against allergic reactions. The use of nutrition to address immune system imbalance is referred to as immunonutrition.

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

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!!

Lupus, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, Scleroderma and Polymyositis

I am a 41 year old mother with lupus, mixed connective tissue disease, scleroderma and polymyositis. I was diagnosed in September 2008 with the lupus and MCTD. In December 2008 we added the scleroderma diagnosis, and in July 2009 we uncovered the polymyositis. I have been on prednisone since September 2008, and Methotrexate (chemotherapy) and azathioprine (immune-suppressive) since August 2009. I began needing to use an electric wheelchair in September 2009 to get around my house.

I also have Reynaud’s syndrome.

I began using OrGano Gold products in February 2010. After two cups of the gourmet latte, I had improvements in the skin on my cheeks. My mood improved as well, and since then, I have gone into remission on all four autoimmune disorders. I am starting to rebuild my strength, my joints don’t hurt as much, and on the whole I’m just in a better mood. My Reynaud’s attacks have also decreased in frequency and severity.

I take the OrGano Gold Spore Powder, Mycelium and Ganoderma pills every day, and I also drink at least one beverage a day. I love these products and will probably take them for the rest of my life.

Oh! And I’m down to 4 mg/day on my prednisone instead of 60! Yay!

Ganoderma-Medically Proven Cancer Preventative

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.

What’s So Special About The Ganoderma Mushroom?

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.

Ganoderma & Weight Loss

Herbal supplements and alternative medicine are commonly used as a means to lose weight. The Reishi mushroom, or ganoderma herb, is an example of such an herbal supplement. This supplement is available for purchase in most supermarkets or health food stores in the form of pills, powders, or liquid extract. Speak to your doctor for more information on the benefits and/or risk factors of using Ganoderma.

History

According to MushroomExpert.com, ganoderma lucidum derives from Asian cultures and is red, bright yellow, and white in color. This fungus can differ in size and usually develops in heavily-wooded areas. There are many different species of ganoderma mushrooms, including the parasitic fungus Ganoderma tsugae, which is nearly identical in appearance to the lucidum species. As an herbal supplement, ganoderma has been traditionally used for a variety of different medical treatments, including weight loss.

Metabolism

According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, ganoderma contains active ingredients that can increase your metabolic rate after consumption. As your metabolism increases, your body uses more energy to digest food more efficiently. This energy is fueled by breaking down fat deposits and calories in your body, which can then lead to weight loss. Ganoderma increases the rate in which your body provides oxygen to your blood, which allows your body to exert additional energy.

Polysaccharides

Ganoderma supplements also contain polysaccharides which can serve as a strong detoxifying agent in your body according to the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, . In addition, polysaccharides strengthen your body’s natural healing ability while also assisting with digestion. According to MayoClinic.com, an improved digestive system may lead to more efficient waste excretion and thus increased weight loss. Further research is needed to substantiate claims of weight loss associated with detoxifying agents, however.

Considerations

Consuming herbal supplements alone may not provide you the weight loss results you desire. Your doctor or nutritionist may also recommend additional weight loss techniques, such as an exercise program or a nutritional diet plan in order to help you achieve your goal. Be sure to monitor your weight loss with the help of your doctor via regular physicals. You should not choose ganoderma supplements for weight loss if you have a known allergy to mushrooms.

Acne-Ganoderma Solution

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.
