Mushrooms
Cordyceps
Cordyceps Mushrooms Japan (Cordyceps)
Used by Chinese long-distance runners for endurance. Traditional uses include
valuable benefits during asthma, impotence, bacterial infections and anxiety.
Valued in the orient as an ally for strengthening the immune system.
Polysacharides & Triterpenoids.
Shiitake
Shiitake Mycelia extract (Mycelia) Vancouver Island Canada (Lentinus
edodes)
Another mushroom highly valued by Oriental medicine. Immune system activator
especially for viral situations. Boosts B-lymphocytes, macrophages, T-cells,
antibodies and interleukin-1.
28:1, 3.2% Peptidomannan KS-2
EPS-3 Linin derivative, Amino Acids, Vitamins, Minerals,
Polysaccharide-protein complex
Reishi
Reishi mushroom extract (Mushroom body) Vancouver Island Canada (Ganoderma
lucidum)
Of highest, "superior" regard in oriental medicine. In China it is
known as Ling-shi or "mushroom of immortality". In Japan it is known
as Mannentake or "10,000 year-old mushroom". Anti-tumor, anti-allergy,
antitoxin (neutralizes free radicals), reduces cholesterol, moderates blood
pressure, helps metabolize fats and improves digestion. It is valued as a
cardiotonic. Highly regarded to help produce concentration and enhanced
spiritual awareness. Improves sleep. Useful with viral situations and related
weariness and fatigue. Reduces wasting syndromes. Helps optimize immune
function. Has been used to protect against radiation and high altitude oxygen
deprivation. Improves oxygen utilization. Useful in bronchitis. Carefully
cultivated on solid prune logs - its ideal growing medium for optimal
bioactivity.

Champignon
Body-produced ammonia is a major factor in bad breath, urine
odor, foot odor, tobacco body odor, meat body odor, perspiration body odor,
fecal odor and gas. Ammonia’s
henchmen in this offensive assault upon our health and sensibilities includes
the equally harmful chemicals methyl mercaptan, hydrogen sulfide and
trimethylamine.
Japanese scientists studying the chemistry of body odors have found that the
vegetable gum of the champignon mushroom has the remarkable property of
molecularly reducing these disgusting biochemical compounds. They are
disassembled down to the simpler, less obnoxious forms from whence they
came. In these simpler forms, they are unable to damage brain cells and other
fragile cells of the body - and can also then be put to a useful purpose.
This is good news for those of us who enjoy healthy foods such as
onions, garlic, fish, cabbage, wheat grass and beans, which readily
convert to the chemical henchmen of stench.
Henceforth we should now be able to enjoy their attributes with much less of
their offenses - good news indeed for our sweethearts.
At any rate, whatever your diet or aromatic condition, everyone should
benefit from reduced levels of ammonia and these other toxic gases in the blood
and cells of the body.
Signs of exposure to these waste gases include general cellular damage
(aging) temporary and irreversible brain dysfunction and increased vulnerability
to disease. Though it occurs on a relatively small scale, it is better to
prevent this damage, rather than try to repair it later.
Maitake
This delicious gourmet mushroom is also an adaptogen with the ability to help
balance body systems. In addition, its unique polysaccharides are under intense
study for their immune boosting qualities. Maitake is regarded as having the
greatest number of health supporting properties of any of the oriental healing
mushrooms.
Coriolus
Coriolus is an edible mushroom, rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins,
glycoproteins, polysaccharides, enzymes and unique metabolites. Some of these
precious phytonutrients are classified as immuno-potentiators - able to help
awaken dormant parts of the immune system and to super-support natural immune
defense mechanisms.
One coriolus polysaccharide-peptide known as PSK has gained 25% of the total
cancer drug expenditure in value-conscious Japan.
Coriolus has also been observed to provide anti-microbial, anti-viral and
antioxidant benefits, and is rated as being entirely non-toxic.
