Having secured a rich history in many ancient Asian healing practices, medicinal mushrooms have been prescribed and used for countless ailments for thousands of years. As modern medicine rediscovers these ancient superfoods, there is good evidence that mushrooms are among the most powerful functional food in a growing cancer-fighting and cancer-prevention arsenal.
Modern research confirms what many traditional healers have know for centuries-that mushrooms contain some of the most potent, yet safest medicinal ingredients found in nature. Most of these ingredients cause very few side effects-if at all, even at very high doses.
It is important to differentiate between the anti-cancer medicinal mushrooms and the countless other common varieties. The ones we are speaking of are:
- Reishi
- Maitake
- Agaricus Blazie Murill
- Turkey tail
- Cordyceps
It’s clear now that mushrooms are legitimate treatments in their own right for many health conditions including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and many forms of cancer.
