Major Cancer Research and Treatment Center Reports that Reishi Mushroom is Favorable
"Reishi mushroom has antioxidant properties and may enhance immune response."
Reishi mushroom contains complex sugars known as beta-glucans that may stop the growth and prevent spread of cancer cells. When animals were fed beta-glucans, some cells of their immune system became more active. Limited data from clinical studies suggest reishi can strengthen immune response in humans. In addition, reishi mushrooms contain sterols [prostate health/cholesterol] that can act as precursors to hormones in the body, along with substances called triterpenes that may have blood pressure-lowering and anti-allergy/anti-histamine effects. Reishi mushrooms have also been shown to slow the process of blood clotting.
Reishi mushroom can cause toxicity in some immune cells. More studies are needed to show that it is safe and effective for cancer treatment.
