Agaricus Brazil Mushroom effectively fight cancer cells by enhancing the body's own immune system

Researchers discovered that the Agaricus Brazil Mushroom is rich in two polysaccharide compounds, the Beta-1,3 D-glucan and Beta-1,6 D-glucan.

Further studies revealed that the mushroom has been clinically found to be effective in improving almost most health problems.

Studies showed that the number of cancer cells generated in the body decreased considerably due to the polysaccharides found in the mushroom.

The mushroom was cited as a powerful antiviral agent that helped prevent viruses and harmful agents from entering delicate tissue.

The polysaccharides found in the mushroom were found to be effective against Ehrlich’s ascites carcinoma (EAC), sigmoid colonic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer as well as most solid tumors.

Agaricus brasiliensis1 [a.k.a. Agaricus blazei Murill, ABM Mushroom, cogumelo do sol (sun mushroom), cogumelo de Deus (god's mushroom), Brazil's mushroom, Royal Sun Agaricus or Himematsutake in Japanese] is a mushroom originated from village of Piedade in the state of São Paulo, in Brazil. It flourishes in the hot weather of Brazil.

It has been gaining worldwide attention because the population in that area have lower rate of cancer and other adult diseases that resulted in longer lifespan.

It contains the highest levels of β-(1-6) D glucan of any mushroom known in the world, a polysaccharide, known to enhance the body's immune system.

Today, it is widely recognized for its ability to enhance the function of the innate immune response and the acquired immune response against a broad range of foreign invaders to the body.

A Japanese-Brazilian farmer first discovered the Agaricus brasiliensis in the summer of 1965.

In March 1995, Dr. Kazunari Satake M.D., Ph.D., commenced a three-year clinical study with cancer patients. Dr. Satake announced the results of his research to the Japanese Cancer Congress in 1998.

Since 1968, Dr. Takashi Mizuno Ph.D., has studied the bioactive substances in fungi, especially those related to anti-tumor active polysaccharides. At the 12th Symposium of the 7th General Meeting of Technical Discussion Group for Fungi (held at Kinki University in Nara, Japan 1995), Dr. Mizuno presented his results with the following, quite remarkable finding:

"A remarkable anti-tumor activity was found in glycoprotein FIII-2-b, isolated from the fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill. This glucan-protein complex was the FIRST CASE OF AN ANTI-TUMOR COMPOUND FOUND IN AN EDIBLE MUSHROOM."

Hi tara,

Have You tried this personally? Let us know how it has worked for you.

I really do hope this is tried and true before others go try it for Morgellons. Everyone should be tested for food allergies before trying new stuff, btw.

studies show a lot of things, mostly to mask what they do not want us to know...

Ummm, "jonsi" must be in a honest funk 'funky' for a mood,

I take a mushroom mixture of which Agaricus Blazei Murrill is a part of. I personally do not have an allergy to mushrooms but you are right, if one had any kind of allergy to a fungus it would not be wise to take Agaricus Blazei Murrill.

I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The supplements I take are tablets of sun chlorella, wakasa - liquid chlorella, colloidal silver - ASAP or MESOSILVER, Siberian ginseng, mushrooms, fish oil and aloe vera juice from time to time. The results are that I am seldom ill.

Forgot to add that I am in agreement with Hippocrates, the father of medicine that “Our food is our medicine and our medicine is our food.”

Yeah, that was mentioned in Gwen Scott, ND's letter on www.carnicom.com that I posted under "And now our children, part II. What goes in must come out...

I've heard alot of good things about certain mushrooms this month (Shiitake, Reishi and now Agaricus blazei Murrill!! ......... It seems that they have different health benefits from looking at Marc's site (he sells some: http://www.s-m-g.org/dsp/eu/gb/) and these suppliers that he links to (http://www.hawlik-vitalpilze.de) - there's 10 different kinds of mushrooms to read about.

Wish I could grow my own.....
