These mushrooms activate the disease-fighting cells of the human immune system, helping the body fight cancer as well as other diseases. Research has proven that Reishi also provides protection against deadly microorganisms such as the ones that cause human immunodeficiency (HIV) and hepatitis B (HBV). Reishi is powerful because of its wide variety of bioactive molecules, including alkaloids, sterols, polysaccharides and triterpenoids. Each molecule operates differently during interaction with the varied components of the immune system, strengthening their response. As people age, the immune system declines. A compromised immune system is a primary factor in the increase of disease in later life. Reishi extracts stimulate the circulation of white blood cells while simultaneously suppressing inflammation and other effects of aging. Reishi also stimulates energy production and transfer on a cellular level, which is important in meeting the metabolic needs of immune cells. Studies show Reishi mushroom extracts can help prevent cancer by interacting with cells that can attack cancer cells before they grow into tumors. It seems likely that the extract works in the spleen and thymus, which both produce aggressive cancer-killing cells. Reishi is effective even when tumors are have already been discovered. Many laboratory and animal studies have proven Reishi can also affect an array of deadly microorganisms that threaten older people, including: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Influenza Herpes Simplex, Herpes Zoster Postherpetic Neuralgia Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Epstein-Barr virus The Guide to Reishi Mushrooms recommends regular supplementation with the extract, even in the absence of disease. It states: Normally one can notice the benefits from taking high quality Reishi after about 10 days to two weeks. One can experience a significant difference with their overall well-being after taking Reishi continuously for two months. Reishi is considered a very safe substance. According to The Guide: In the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia®s published monograph on Reishi mushrooms, Reishi is classified as Class 1: Herbs that can be safely consumed when used appropriately (McGuffin and others 1997). No side effects were reported in the available clinical literature. Clinicians have reported occasional mild digestive upset and skin rashes in sensitive individuals. These side effects are usually of short duration. Taking a source of Vitamin C with Reishi can help reduce any side effects which may occur upon the initial intake of the herb. Put Reishi extract to use in your life, both as a daily supplement and when you need healing for a more serious health condition.
