Ganolife Coffee Is Better

K-Cup Inventor: I Feel Bad I Had the Idea They're expensive, create waste, and "it's not like drip coffee's tough to make." Erik ShermanMar 4th 2015 11:00AM Investors usually take pride in their creations. But there are exceptions. Alfred Nobel so regretted the military uses of his invention, dynamite, that he founded the peace prize, as the foundation named for him relates. Robert Propst, inventor of the office cubicle, reportedly "lamented his unwitting contribution to what he called monolithic insanity," according to Business Insider. Then there's John Sylvan. If the man isn't familiar, his brainchild -- the K-Cup system -- will be. The single-cup brew system is wildly popular, accounting for more than a quarter of ground coffee category sales in 2013, as Quartz reported. By 2018, some analyst estimates say that consumers will spend as much on coffee pods as on ground coffee, reported the Seattle Times. That's not even counting the hot cocoa, tea, and other drinks that can be generated by the system and the many companies that make drink pods. And Sylvan is sorry. "I don't have one," he told the Atlantic. "They're kind of expensive to use. Plus it's not like drip coffee is tough to make." But it's not cost and unnecessary convenience that fuels Sylvan's regret. Nor is it having sold his share of the company for $50,000 in 1997. Keurig Green Mountain has a market value of nearly $21 billion. No, what leaves him with second and third thoughts is that the K-Cup has become an environmental disaster according to many. In 2013, Keurig Green Mountain produced 8.3 billion K-Cups, or enough to wrap the equator an estimated 10.5 times, according to Mother Jones. By 2014, the number of cups hit 9.8 billion, according to NPR. Those cups aren't recyclable, which means they go right into landfills and the materials used to make them are lost for reuse. There are two problems on the recycling front. One is that the cup, filter, grounds, and foil top of so completely put together that separating the parts for recycling is impractical, according to the Atlantic report. As NPR pointed out, even if you could separate the parts, the cup itself is made of No. 7 composite plastic, and few recycling facilities can handle it. The K-Cup has become legendary. There's even a YouTube video that critiques the environmental implications by way of a short mock horror movie, where an alien monster is constructed of them. That's why Sylvan told the Atlantic, "I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it." The company claims that it is working on a more environmentally-sensitive version and that 100 percent of the cups will be recyclable by 2020. But Sylvan doesn't seem convinced. "I told them how to improve it, but they don't want to listen," he told the Atlantic. Please go to www.ganolifevo.com/wwammcafe for more information and how to order Ganolife Gourmet Coffee today.

Benefits of Green Coffee - Weight Loss Coffee Bean Extract
Green Coffee Beans are rich with a substance known as Chlorogenic Acid. Studies suggest that chlorogenic acid inhibits the formation of glucose in the liver and promotes metabolism to help reduce extra fat. It is also known to supress appetite and promote the elimination of toxins. GanoLife's Green Coffee 365 is extracted from Green robust coffee beans which are found to have the highest percentage of chlorogenic acid. Green Coffee Bean Extract has been shown as an effective aid when it comes to weight control. When combined with the anti-oxidant rich Ganoderma Lucidum, GanoLife's Green Coffee 365 is the perfect aid to help control weight.

Coffee is a must-have in the morning, but an extract from Green Coffee Beans can help with Weight Loss.

"Green coffee" refers to the raw or unroasted seeds (beans) of Coffee fruits. Coffee is a notable source of caffeine. However, coffee's effects on glycemic control and weight loss have been attributed to it's other components, including chlorogenic acid, quinides, lignans, and trigonelline, all of which have been shown to improve glucose metabolism in animal studies.

Can you get the same effect from drinking a cup of coffee? No, because roasting the coffee beans actually removes the chlorogenic acid. So green coffee bean extract must be processed before the beans are roasted, while they're still in their raw state.

Lyme Disease Cure? Medicinal Mushrooms for Broad Spectrum Healing

Lyme Disease Cure? Medicinal Mushrooms for Broad Spectrum Healing AUTHOR SHARON CORNET medicinal mushrooms may help with lyme disease Lyme disease is named after Old Lyme, Connecticut where this malady was identified back in the 1970’s, but it is also found in parts of Austalia and Eurasia. It comes from infected ticks, which if the tick stays in the body too long (pinhead-sized ones may be undetectable) can produce the disease, which worsens over time. However, although no known cure is known to medical science, there are some people who have claimed to have cured their Lyme disease through a series of different alternative therapies, healthy lifestyle, and by eating or taking medicinal mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, reishi, Lion’s mane, cordyceps, turkey tail, agarikon, or other mushrooms. Medicinal mushrooms have beta-glucan insoluble fiber, which is a polysaccharide that stimulates the body’s immune system up to 10 times over. Furthermore, medicinal mushrooms have some amazing constituents that bring health benefits in a broad spectrum, such as antioxidant activity, antiviral, antibacterial, memory enhancing, neurological benefits, to name a few. Lyme disease is caused by a corkscrew-shaped bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, which comes from ticks of the genus Ixodes and is carried into into—and lives in—the blood system. People do not always remember the bite, nor do they usually save the tick so I can be analyzed in a lab for testing to see if it is infected. Lyme disease and medicinal mushrooms Lyme disease will often start with symptoms like headaches, chills, fever, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, and a skin rash. It is impossible to culture the bacteria so testing in the lab is not reliable (up to 80% inaccurate) to establish a diagnosis. Even 40% of those with early stage Lyme disease do not develop the characteristic rash. Sometimes symptoms can be mild enough that it may be confused as the flu. Early stages are often treated with 20 days of antibiotics, but some courses have gone up to 90 days without having any effect on the disease or symptoms. Long term use of antibiotics may not be healthy for the body, and the FDA approved vaccine is also not perfected. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause: Joint pain crippling arthritis severe heart disease erythema migrans (red skin lesions) major neurological problems (palsies) memory loss loss of mental clarity depression Some of the issues, besides the above, which need to be addressed, include the digestive system (enzymes), and tissue and joint inflammation. A healthy diet (raw vegan is especially beneficial), multivitamins, essential fatty acids, exercise, and herbal and other supplements that support the adrenal and thyroid hormone levels and build the immune system can all support healing for Lyme disease. Medicinal mushrooms help heal issues such as neurodegenerative disorders, are anti-inflammatory, help with arthritis, cardiovascular health, are immunostimulating, help skin issues, memory and cognition improvement, are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and have anti-cancer and anti-tumor constituents. Because of the anti-bacterial nature of mushrooms, and the fact that Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial infection, it may serve people better if antibiotics are not working.

Oyster Mushroom Tested On Leukemia Cells

Oyster Mushroom Tested On Leukemia Cells AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD can oyster mushroom help with leukemia A study published in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms found that the medicinal and culinary oyster mushroom has anti cancer effects. Could extracts from this medicinal mushroom be developed into a treatment for leukemia? The in vitro experiment by Morris HJ, Hernandez E (et al) from the Centre of Studies for Industrial Biotechnology, Cuba, tested hot water extracts of the oyster mushroom Pleurotus on human leukemia cells. Leukemia is a cancer of blood-forming cells, must often a cancer of white blood cells. There are several types of leukemia, but the researchers focused on acute myeloid leukemia. This type of leukemia starts in the bone marrow, but moves quickly into the blood. It can progress rapidly, and if not treated can lead to death within a few months. Currently, acute myeloid leukemia is treated with chemotherapy, though chemotherapy for leukemia has serious side effects. Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells, which in addition to cancer cells also includes bone marrow cells. However, new treatments are being developed to improve results, such as stem cell transplants. Stem cell transplants allow doctors to use higher doses of chemotherapy as transplanted stem cells allow the body to restore bone marrow. Oyster mushroom extracts have antitumor effects on leukemia cells Yes 300x200 Oyster Mushroom Tested On Leukemia Cells Yes, oyster mushroom extracts may be helpful when fighting certain types of leukemia The researchers incubated NB4 leukemia cells with various concentrations of oyster mushroom extracts for 24 hours. NB4 leukemia cells are a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia. Cancer cell viability, cell cycle, and programmed cell death (apoptosis) were measured. The medicinal mushroom extract reduced cancer cell viability by 82% compared to control cells. Additionally, cancer cell death occurred. The researchers suggest that carbohydrates are the most important antitumor compound in the oyster mushroom extract, although compounds known as phenolics also prevented cancer cells from proliferating. The study concluded with the hope that oyster mushrooms may prove to be a useful renewable resource for developing new antitumor treatments.

Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Possible Treatment for Colon Cancer

Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Possible Treatment for Colon Cancer AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD medicinal mushrooms and beta glucan The popular culinary and medicinal oyster mushroom is classified in the genus Pleurotus. A European study reports that Pleurotus extracts have been tested on human colon cancer cells, with positive results. Medicinal mushrooms, used for centuries in traditional medicine, are now being analyzed for use in modern medicine. Medicinal mushrooms contain powerful bioactive compounds, and have indeed been the source of several medicines. For example, the medicinal mushroom Cordyceps is the source of the organ transplant drug cyclosporin. The oyster mushroom Pleurotus, too, is undergoing research. It is already known to contain lovastatin, which reduces cholesterol and lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Pleurotus improves the immune system. And Pleurotus is now being investigated for its potential anti cancer effects. A study in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms examined cold water extracts of Pleurotus on human colon cancer cells. Colon cancer, or colorectal cancer, is the third most common cancer in North America, and the second leading cause of cancer-related death for men and women combined. As with all cancers, early detection has a better prognosis. Colon cancer is treated with surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Researchers are continually developing studies to test new and improved treatments. Would Pleurotus extracts improve the treatment of colon cancer? Researchers Fontana S, Schillaci O, et al, from the University of Palermo, Italy, published their results. Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus has antitumor effects on colon cancer Palermo 300x199 Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus Possible Treatment for Colon Cancer Pleurotus mushroom may have antitumor effects on colon cancer: Palermo, Italy study The study results were promising. In the lab, colon cancer cells were treated with cold-water extracts of Pleurotus. The researchers concluded that these extracts of Pleurotus could be potential sources for new anti cancer treatments.

EBOLA Protection with Medicinal Mushrooms?

EBOLA Protection with Medicinal Mushrooms? AUTHOR SHARON CORNET medicinal mushroom protection against ebola The Ebola virus, which kills up to 90% of those who are infected with it, has now entered the United States of America. The Ebola pandemic, which has been followed and quarantined since 1976 in Central Africa, and a more recent outbreak in Western Africa, has caused some American and Canadian doctors to have isolated themselves after returning from countries from the African continent. But is there a cure for Ebola? Could medicinal mushrooms help protect against ebola or even treat it? Most people say there is not possibly a cure, but to fully understand the dilemma, and how the human immune system is attacked in the presence of deadly viruses, is exactly what is needed at a time when our nation is experiencing fear from the unknown factors regarding this kind of hemorrhagic fever. Two Americans are infected with Ebola presently. One of them, Kent Brantly, a 33-year old doctor from Texas, was working at an Ebola treatment center (run by two faith-based organizations: Samaritan’s Purse, and Reuters) in Liberia when he began showing symptoms of having the virus. He was flown to Atlanta in a protective suit so he could be monitored at the Emory University Hospital. The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Fox News that Dr. Brantly “appears to be improving, and that’s encouraging.” Nancy Writebol, the second aid worker for another charity, SIM USA, would be expecting treatment soon. Both patients’ progress will be known over the next few days. Improve immunity to treat symptoms of Ebola virus Ebola virus disease is very deadly to the majority of its hosts. How viruses work is still a mysterious process. Those who overcome them typically have a super charged immune system, as well as other factors of health and medical care in place. Currently there is no treatment, vaccine, or cure for Ebola, which is a viral hemorrhagic fever. The symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and external and internal bleeding. Fluid replacement is crucial as well as fever-reducing medication, and antibiotics that help the immune system fight the virus could also improve chances of survival for the patient. The key to those who survive the Ebola virus depends on the strength of their immune system along with getting proper supportive care at a medical facility. Early treatment is also extremely important, and may have helped keep the death rate lower, says Stephan Monroe, an expert of emerging infectious diseases at the CDC. The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that out of 1,323 cases, the deaths have been 729 (death rate of 55%). However, the mortality rate of Ebola depends upon the strain that patients catch, where some are at 50%, and others are up to a 90% death rate. Immune-boosting anti-viral medicinal mushrooms a near-cure for Ebola? The Ebola virus is often a fatal disease, but medicinal mushrooms may help fight off the effects of this, or any other virus in general. These are just regular edible mushrooms (dried or cooked, never raw) such as white mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake, reishi, maitake, cordyceps, crimini, turkey tail, or a host of other excellent mushrooms that are well documented for their anti-viral, antioxidant, immune-boosting, antibacterial, anti-cancer, and even anti-tumor constituents. Medicinal mushrooms also boost the production of macrophages that attract viruses. They recruit natural killer cells that fight viruses and other foreign attackers as well. The anti-viral and immune system enhancing qualities of mushrooms like reishi (Ganoderma species, also called Lingzhi) and other mushrooms may help since people who take or eat mushrooms regularly tend to get sick less. This means less colds, flu, and possibly even viruses that cause the Avian flu (aka “bird flu”), or possibly even Ebola virus disease. Paul Stamets, a mycologist (mushroom/fungi expert) whose mother cured her cancer using medicinal mushrooms, has said regarding viral flu sicknesses, “In my work with the U.S. Defense Department’s BioShield BioDefense program, ethanol and water extracts of the living mycelium of Ganoderma resinaceum inhibited virus replication as measured by the viral yield reduction (VYR) assay of Flu A (H5N1) aka “bird flu,” and Flu B viruses. Notably, a ‘traditional’ hot water extract of the fruitbodies arising from the same mycelium demonstrated no notable antiviral activity.” (Stamets, 2008). Remember that there is currently no known cure for Ebola, even though the current experimental serum seems to be working well. Ebola has a death rate ranging from 50-90% according to experts. Infowars says the threat of this Ebola virus is played down since you have to exchange bodily fluids with someone, but that if avoiding fluids from the human body (sweat, feces, secretions, organs, blood, etc.), or even quarantining Ebola patients, then “how in the world have more than 100 health workers contracted the virus so far?” Since 1976 here is how many people have gotten sick and/or died from the Ebola virus, which according to Zero Hedge includes: 1976 DRCongo: 318 cases/280 deaths 1976 Sudan: 284 cases/151 deaths 1994 Gabon: 52 cases/31 deaths 1995 DRCongo: 315 cases/254 deaths 1996 Gabon 60 cases/45 deaths 2000 Uganda: 425 cases/224 deaths 2001-02 Gabon: 65 cases/53 deaths 2001-02 Congo: 59 cases/44 deaths 2003 Congo: 59 caess/44 deaths 2007 DRCongo 264 cases/187 deaths 2007 Uganda: 149 cases/37 deaths 2012 DRCongo: 57 cases/29 deaths According to the Washington Post the current Ebola outbreak is not in Central Africa this time, but West Africa. The statistics they show are as follows: Guinea: 460 cases/339 deaths (74% death rate) Sierra Leone: 533 cases/233 deaths (44% death rate) Liberia: 329 cases/156 deaths (47% death rate) This means the virus has moved to other countries on the same continent, and now with patients on flights, it has moved (purposefully) within hours to inside the boundaries of the United States. Still, medical professionals believe it is safe if quarantined. ABC News reported that the White House Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, told reporters, “There is a screening process that individuals have to go through when they board aircraft departing the countries where this outbreak has been reported. There is additional screening that occurs when individuals who started in that region of the world arrive in this country.” Barbara Reynolds, CDC spokeswoman said, “There is always the possibility that someone with an infectious disease can enter the United States. The public health concern is whether it would spread, and, if so, how quickly.’” It also appears that either the specific strain of Ebola virus out of Liberia is now below the (lowest) 50% mortality rate, or else the medical care has improved, although other factors could be involved. However, this means nearly one person out of every two will still die if they catch Ebola. It begs the question… would it hurt to strengthen one’s immune system with a natural, inexpensive, edible food or supplement like medicinal mushrooms? Studies abound on the beta-glucan / polysaccharides in mushrooms and how taking medicinal mushroom supplements enhances immunity. Based on the medical evidence in human clinical trials, taking medicinal mushrooms boosts our immune system. Could they make the difference in tipping the scales as to whether certain Ebola virus patients survive or not, has not yet been researched. Eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise also help improve health and keep our immune systems strong.

Maitake Medicinal Mushroom And Gastric Cancer

Maitake Medicinal Mushroom And Gastric Cancer AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD maitake medicinal mushroom Scientists from Tottori University in Japan tested extracts of the medicinal mushroom Maitake on human gastric cancer cell lines, hoping to prove the mushroom has anti-tumor effects. Results were promising. Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, has a poor prognosis. In the US, the 5-year survival rate is about 27%. However, this is partly due to the fact that most stomach cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage. As with all cancers, early detection leads to a much greater chance of successful treatment, or even cure. Gastric cancer is treated by surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and radiation therapy. The type of treatment depends on the stage of the cancer. While chemotherapy often has successful results, it can also have severe side effects which impact on quality of life. Improved treatments are continually being developed. Medicinal mushrooms are currently being researched for their anti-cancer properties. Maitake—also known as Grifola frondosa—contains several powerful bioactive compounds, which have already proved to have a significant therapeutic potential. This mushroom, already a popular culinary mushroom, is a potent source of polysaccharides. These chain molecules can affect other cells, including cancer cells. Can Maitake induce apoptosis? Happy Woman 150x150 Maitake Medicinal Mushroom And Gastric Cancer This study can make you smile if you have gastric cancer: Maitake extract can help! Researchers Shomori K, Yamamoto M, et al, from Tottori University’s Department of Microbiology and Pathology, in Japan, investigated the effects of water-soluble extract of Maitake. They tested the Maitake extracts on four human gastric cancer cell lines. The cancer cells were all affected by the maitake extract in a time-dependent manner. One type of cancer cell, the TNK-1 cell, showed a 90% inhibition after three days of treatment. The Maitake extract inhibited the proliferation of the cancer cells, and also induced programmed cell death, known as apoptosis, in the cancer cells. The researchers concluded that Maitake extracts have potential antitumor effects on gastric cancer.

Maitake — Grifola Frondosa — Improves Chemotherapy

Maitake — Grifola Frondosa — Improves Chemotherapy AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD medicinal mushrooms and cancer The medicinal mushroom maitake has already been proved to contain several powerful bioactive compounds. A Japanese study investigated the D-fraction extracted from maitake, and found that maitake also improves a chemotherapy drug. Could maitake be used to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in the future? There have been many clinical trials evaluating the powerful effects of medicinal mushrooms. Maitake, also known as Grifola frondosa, has been part of the traditional medicine kit for centuries. Maitake is a popular culinary as well as medicinal mushroom, and contains a variety of bioactive compounds which improve heart health, lower blood glucose levels, and even kill cancer cells. Researchers are therefore seeking to develop new treatments from this ancient medicine. Improvements in cancer treatments is a key goal for many research scientists. Cancer is often treated with chemotherapy, strong drugs which target rapidly proliferating cells, such as cancer cells. However, the chemotherapy drugs also target healthy yet rapidly-growing cells. This is why some chemotherapy treatments cause hair loss, because hair cells grow very rapidly. While in many cases chemotherapy is a successful treatment, curing or caging the cancer, the severe side effects can reduce quality of life. Researchers with Kobe Pharmaceutical University, Kobe, Japan, developed an animal study to see if maitake extracts would be able to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs. They hoped this could lead to cancer patients being given lower doses of chemotherapy, with the same anti-cancer results. Animal study proves maitake improves chemotherapy tumor 150x150 Maitake Grifola Frondosa Improves Chemotherapy Maitake medicinal mushroom may complement chemotherapy with cancer care Researchers Kodama N, Murata Y, et al, used D-Fraction, a polysaccharide extracted from maitake. They tested the maitake along with an existing chemotherapy drug, mitomycin-C, on mice with cancer tumors. Results showed that a combination of reduced doses chemotherapy drug along with maitake still had an effective anti-cancer effect. The maitake improved the effectiveness of the animals’ own immune system, leading to a much-improved result. The study concluded that maitake could become a potential clinical benefit for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Maitake Medicinal Mushroom – New Breast Cancer Treatment?

Maitake Medicinal Mushroom – New Breast Cancer Treatment? AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD maitake The powerful bioactive compounds from the medicinal mushroom Maitake—also known as Grifola frondosa or “dancing mushroom”—are being investigated for their anti-cancer potential. Could extracts of Maitake become part of the treatment for breast cancer in the future? Many people worldwide have lost a loved one to breast cancer. This cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and cases are increasing. As with most cancers, early detection of breast cancer is crucial to improve prognosis. While breast cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the treatments can have severe side effects which greatly reduce quality of life. Chemotherapy drugs can cause nausea and vomiting, for instance. Many people are turning to medicinal mushrooms to help fight the side effects of chemotherapy. But can medicinal mushrooms also help target the cancer cells directly? Researchers Alonso EN, Orozco M, et al, with the National Scientific and Technical Research Council, Buenos Aires, Argentina, developed a study into the D-Fraction of Maitake medicinal mushrooms. Maitake: fights breast cancer tumors in in vitro study Maitake is a common perennial fungus, which has long been used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine to enhance the immune system. Maitake is rich in minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. It also contains many powerful compounds known as polysaccharides. The D-Fraction extracted from the mushroom is already proven to stimulate the immune system. In this study, Maitake was tested on human breast cancer cells in vitro. Results were promising. The breast cancer cells were suppressed by the Maitake in a dose-dependent manner. The mushroom modified the expression of specific genes, which resulted in an increase in cancer cell death—apoptosis. The medicinal mushroom extracts also inhibited cancer cell growth and proliferation, which are essential parts of any cancer treatment. The researchers concluded that Maitake D-Fraction could indeed become a potential new target for breast cancer treatment.

Medicinal Mushroom Cordyceps Militaris – Future Breast Cancer Treatment?

Medicinal Mushroom Cordyceps Militaris – Future Breast Cancer Treatment? AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD maitake An animal study using extracts from the medicinal mushroom Cordyceps militaris to treat breast cancer tumors has found very promising results. Could this useful fungus become part of anti-cancer treatments in the future? The popular medicinal mushroom Cordyceps has been the subject of many scientific investigations. Long used in traditional Chinese medicines, the mushroom is now being tested for its possible role in cancer treatments, perhaps as part of additional therapies. Cordyceps Sinensis is probably the most well known member of the Cordyceps gamily, but Cordyceps militaris also contains essential bioactive compounds. Cordycepin is the main functional component of Cordyceps. Cordycepin has several pharmacological effects, including stimulating the immune system. Cordycepin was originally derived from the medicinal mushroom, but can now also be produced synthetically. Cordyceps animal study: can cordycepin reduce tumors? A study was developed by researchers (Jeong MH, Lee CM, et al) from the Dong-A University College of Medicine, Busan, Republic of Korea. They wanted to investigate the possible anti tumor effects of Cordyceps militaris. Conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy, while often effective, may have harsh side-effects which can reduce the patient’s quality of life. Improvements are therefore continually under investigation. Medicinal mushrooms are a popular source of study, as they are non-toxic and also contain active biological compounds which would improve cancer treatments. This Korean animal study investigated wild Cordyceps militaris and also cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps. They were given added to the diets of mice with breast cancer, to see if the medicinal mushroom would help reduce tumor growth. Dietary administration of Cordyceps militaris had a significant effect. Tumor growth was delayed, and the survival rates of the tumor-bearing mice were increased. The best result was found with the cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps militaris. The researchers hope that in time, and after more scientific studies, cordycepin-enriched Cordyceps militaris will become part of cancer immunotherapy.

Medicinal Mushrooms and Lung Cancer

Medicinal Mushrooms and Lung Cancer AUTHOR SHARON CORNET medicinal mushrooms My other grandfather died of lung cancer when I was 10 years old despite having quit smoking for the last 20 years of his life. I was happy for the memories I still have of him from my youth but often wondered what it would have been like to have him around longer. Thanks to medicinal mushrooms like Cordyceps, Trametes versicolor, and others, people with lung cancer may have a better chance at survival. Cordyceps medicinal mushrooms for lung cancer According to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Cordyceps medicinal mushrooms are used for fatigue, sexual dysfunction, coughs, to stimulate the immune system, and also for lung cancer. According to the in vitro animals studies Cordyceps medicinal mushrooms “show antitumor, radioprotective, and antidiabetic effects. In addition, cordyceps enhances recovery of mice with taxol-induced leukopenia and increases the cytotoxicity of cisplatin in non-small cell lung cancer cells.” Trametes versicolor medicinal mushrooms for cancers Says the Anti-Cancer Therapies section of the A Guide to Integrative Oncology for Clinicians at the University of Washington website, extracts from medicinal mushrooms have shown promise for lung cancer, among other types of cancer. In particular, the medicinal mushrooms “Trametes versicolor (T. versicolor), also known as Coriolus versicolor or Polyporus versicolor” were examined in clinical trials using active fractions of the mushrooms (namely PSK/PSP) and published in Korea and Japan. The studies suggest that “T. versicolor polysaccharide-peptide constituents improve disease-free and overall survival in several different types of cancer, including stomach, esophagus, lung, colorectal, prostate, and breast adenocarcinomas. In Japan, PSK is a therapy prescribed to cancer patients routinely…” Medicinal mushrooms for cancer and other health benefits Medicinal mushrooms have tremendously powerful effects that go beyond just being able to help lung cancer. The mushrooms are anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, hypocholesterolemic, immunomodulatory (boosts the immune system), anti-microbial, and are nephroprotective (protects kidneys from harm). According to what was published by 3 Biotech (2012 March), “The mushrooms credited with success against cancer belong to the genus Phellinus, Pleurotus, Agaricus, Ganoderma, Clitocybe, Antrodia, Trametes, Cordyceps, Xerocomus, Calvatia, Schizophyllum, Flammulina, Suillus, Inonotus, Inocybe, Funlia, Lactarius, Albatrellus, Russula, and Fomes.” If only my grandfather had known about medicinal mushrooms like Cordyceps, Trametes versicolor, and other medicinal mushrooms, perhaps his life would have been lengthened. Perhaps it will help someone else today. Please go to this site to order Ganolife Gourmet Coffee enriched with Ganoderma, www.ganolifevo.com/wwammcafe.

Colon Cancer and Reishi

Colon Cancer and Reishi AUTHOR CELIA LEUNG reishi medicinal mushroom and colon cancer Colon cancer, also known as colorectal or bowel cancer is a cancer that originates from uncontrolled cell growth in the colon, rectum or appendix. It is believed to be the fourth most common cause of cancer death, with over a million individuals being diagnosed annually worldwide. Symptoms usually include rectal bleeding, decrease in number of red blood cells, weight loss and changes in bowel movement. Treatment options for colon cancer can include a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or radiofrequency ablation. But in a recent study conducted by Hunan Agricultural University in China, researchers set out to examine the treatment potential of Reishi medicinal mushroom for colon cancer cells. Reishi, also known as Lingzhi mushroom and Ganoderma Lucidum, is one of the oldest medicinal mushrooms since it has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for over 2,000 years. It is believed that reishi medicinal mushrooms have antitumor and anti-cancer properties. Previous research suggests they also help enhance immune system functioning, reduce feelings of depression, lowers blood pressure, and treats hepatitis, bronchitis and bronchial asthma. The Effects of Reishi Polysaccharides on Colon Cancer Cells For the experiment researchers Zengenni Liang, Yu-Tong Guo, You-Jin Yi, Ren-Cai Wang, Qiu-Long Hu and Xing-Yao Xiong isolated extracts from Reishi medicinal mushroom called GLP (Ganoderma lucidumpolysaccharides). They tested the reishi extracts on human colon cancer cells and measured its anticancer effects using various assays and observations on wound-healing. A control group of untreated cells were also used as a comparison. Cell apoptosis (programmed cell death) induced by Reishi was also observed on the colon cancer cells. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that reishi extracts exhibited a dose and time-dependent inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human colon cancer cells in their experiment. In particular, they observed that Ganoderma lucidumpolysaccharides helped suppress cell growth and migration of human colon cancer cells. Another observation the researchers made was that reishi polysaccharides induced apoptosis by promoting the release of lactate dehydrogenase and increased intracellular calcium levels. Based on these results, the researchers believe that reishi extracts can be a beneficial, nontoxic form of treatment for colon cancer.

Reishi as Cancer Treatment? Mechanism behind Reishi’s Cancer Fighting Properties

Reishi as Cancer Treatment? Mechanism behind Reishi’s Cancer Fighting Properties AUTHOR BETTINA MACKENBACH reishi Reishi is beautiful! Perhaps not as visibly beautiful as flowers, but for years, people all over the world have known about a medicinal mushroom called Reishi, also known as Ganoderma Lucidum and Ling-Zi. People have used this fungi as a cancer treatment, or at least an adjunct treatment together with traditional Western cancer therapy. In fact, the Medicinal Mushroom Information Center has published numerous articles about Reishi and other medicinal mushrooms detailing scientific, peer-reviewed university level studies about medicinal mushrooms’ ability to help heal cancer. The common denominator behind all medicinal mushrooms is that they contain a lot polysaccharide called beta glucan. While it is known that beta glucan helps the human body fight cancer cells (please watch the video below), scientists have not been sure what the process is behind beta glucan’s and Reishi’s ability to help trigger the immune response. That is… until now. Taiwanese Researchers Discover Reishi’s Anti-Cancer Properties At Taipei City, a Taiwan-based research team from Academia Sinica seems to have solved the puzzle behind Reishi’s anti-cancer properties. According to the team, led by Academia Sinica President Wong Chi-Huey and Wu-Chung Yi, it appears that the Reishi extract’s ability to inhibit cancerous tumors in mice is based on fucose-based polysaccharides. Their report was distributed in the August 20th issue of the United States based Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Other researchers in Taiwan had earlier demonstrated that a Reishi polysaccharide extract known as F3 can slow tumor growth when injected in mice. The Academia Sinica team found that sera from mice immunized with F3 contained antibodies that recognized tumor antigens Globo H and related structures, with inhibition of tumor growth directly related to these antibodies. The research team demonstrated also that when F3 was enriched with fucose – creating a compound called FMS – it was even more effective at inhibiting tumors. In plain English, this showed that fucose residue is the key anti-cancer component! Reishi is commonly available as a dietary supplement. Please visit the Cancer section of Medicinal Mushroom Information Center to learn more about reishi as cancer treatment and medicinal mushrooms’ ability to fight cancer. You will learn how there are certain mushrooms that work well when combined with traditional cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, and mushrooms that may have produced an even stronger anti-cancer effect than Reishi. As always, do not discontinue or change your traditional cancer treatment without first consulting with your physician.

Medicinal Mushrooms: a Treasure Chest

Medicinal Mushrooms: a Treasure Chest AUTHOR BRIDGET GREENWOOD Medicinal mushrooms and cancer Medicinal mushrooms, which have been used in traditional medicines for centuries, are now being scrutinized for their potential cancer-killing properties. Could medicinal mushrooms become a weapon in the war on cancer? Medicinal mushrooms are becoming very popular health supplements, in addition to being healthy culinary ingredients. But can they also be developed into anti-cancer drugs? Many scientists hope so. Other now-common drugs were also synthesized from natural sources. Aspirin is perhaps the most famous, originally synthesized from willow bark. The chemotherapy drug Taxol was developed from the bark of the Pacific yew tree. Will medicinal mushrooms lead to even more cancer treatments? Dr Kat Arney of Cancer Research UK says “Mushrooms are…a treasure chest that needs to be opened.” Dr Arney, interviewed in the Guardian newspaper, is referring to the numerous bioactive compounds in medicinal mushrooms, many of which are undergoing clinical studies. Medicinal mushrooms: potential cancer treatments Because medicinal mushrooms are so complex, they must not be seen as a magic bullet to instantly cure cancer, but could potentially become part of new cancer treatments. However, simply consuming the mushroom may not mean its anti-cancer properties will work. The compounds must often directly attack the cancer cells, which they may not be able to if they are in the digestive system. But drugs developed from medicinal mushrooms are being researched with positive results. Indeed, several clinical trials have proved the anti-cancer effects of reishi, maitake, and Agaricus blazei Murrill, to name just a few. In these trials compounds such as polysaccharides were extracted from the fruiting body of the medicinal mushrooms. These bioactive compounds were tested on cancer cells in laboratory conditions. In addition to being a potential source of cancer-killing drugs, medicinal mushrooms are currently often taken as supplements to improve the effects of chemotherapy drugs, and to reduce their harsh side effects. For example, an extract of shiitake is a very popular complementary and alternative medicine in Japan. While taken in addition to conventional cancer therapy, the shiitake extract reportedly improved quality of life for patients.

Reduce the Adverse Effects of Anti-Cancer Drugs with Reishi

Reduce the Adverse Effects of Anti-Cancer Drugs with Reishi AUTHOR CELIA LEUNG reishi Reishi mushrooms, also called lingzhi, have been a staple in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years due to its reported anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Previous studies have shown that reishi mushrooms produce anti-tumour, anti-cancer and immunotherapeutic effects. It is also believed to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels. In a study published by the Health Care Institute and Hiroshima University in Japan, researchers investigated whether reishi extract would be able to prevent the small intestine from injury caused by chemotherapy, a common side effect of anti-cancer drugs. Researchers Naoki Kashimoto, Satomi Ishii, Yuki Myojin, Mitsuyasu Ushijima, Minoru Hayama and Hiromitsu Watanabe report that the fruiting body and mycelium of reishi have similar structures, but the mycelium contains other valuable components such as nutrients. They believe it is the reishi mycelium that protects against radiation-induced small intestinal damage in mice, even after chemotherapy. For the experiment the researchers used male mice and were either fed a basal diet alone as control, a basal diet supplemented with varying levels of reishi extract, or a basal diet supplemented with varying levels of Agaricus blazei Murrill. The mice were then treated a week later with anti-cancer drugs. A few days after administration of the drugs, the mice were sacrificed to study the effects of reishi on small intestinal injury. The effects of reishi mushrooms on small intestinal injury After studying the mice, the researchers found that reishi extracts prevented injury to the small intestine. They believe that the mycelium extracts from reishi increases the amount of regenerative crypts but does not affect body weight loss from anti-cancer drugs. The researchers report that in another study, reishi was able to reduce nausea and vomiting in rats treated with anti-cancer drugs. Based on these results, Kashimoto et al. suggest that reishi mushrooms are beneficial in reducing the negative effects of anti-cancer drugs, improving the quality of life for individuals with cancer. The reishi mushroom stimulates cell growth to repair intestinal injury induced by radiation and chemotherapy drugs, which is promising news for cancer treatment patients, although more research is needed for human trials.
