Medicinal Mushrooms
These products
are manufactured in the United States. Please avoid herbal
products manufactured in China. They often contain
pharmaceuticals and other ingredients that are not listed on the
label.
There are several
mushrooms that I’d recommend for strengthening immunity and as a
treatment strategy. Some are in supplement form and others can
be used as a food. The mushrooms in these formulas do not cause
problems in conditions attributed to candida.
Cordyceps PS is a powerful
tonic for lung and kidneys. It is also known as caterpillar
fungus and is an ancient Chinese tonic. Research has shown that
extractions of Cordyceps inhibit growth of microorganisms and
diseases causing fungi. It has a marked bronchodilation effect
and increases the effects of adrenaline. Cordyceps PS improves
lung function and addresses asthma, wheezing, chronic cough,
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It strengthens
resistance to disease, boosts the immune system, and enhances
athletic performance. Tonifies kidney yang, nourishes lung yin,
strengthens protective qi, stops cough and transforms phlegm.

2 tablets 2-3 times a day with or between meals.

chronic bronchitis and asthma, improves oxygen utilization and
athletic performance. This formula contains Cordyceps as a main
ingredient along with supporting herbs including ganoderma
mushroom which has potent immune regulating effects. Ganoderma
is traditionally used to protect the liver from damage, reduce
the symptoms of hepatitis, and lower liver enzyme levels.
Cordyseng also includes astragalus and licorice for their anti
viral and immune potentiating activity; and American Ginseng and
ginger to support digestive functions. This formula strengthens
spleen, stomach, kidney, and lung and helps digestion.

Mushrooms
combines four mushrooms known to have immune system regulating
functions. It combines red ganoderma which is stronger than the
common black cultured ganoderma; polyporus, a relative of
maitake mushrooms, which is anti-inflammatory and a source of
tumor-inhibiting polysaccharides; tremella which moistens the
lung, nourishes the stomach, and produces fluids; and poria
which is a digestive aid. The combination of these mushrooms
are an effective Qi (chee) tonic. This is a great energy
formula and is useful for those with weak immunity, allergies,
asthma, prolonged colds and flu and asthma. It is also useful
for autoimmune disorders, such as MS or lupis.
This is a warming formula and
not recommended for those with heat signs such as afternoon or
night sweats, and hot body temperature.
