Maitake Magic

Can any other natural healing agent match the healing power of maitake mushroom? Studies show maitake can:

§ Activate the immune system

§ Hamper growth and spread of cancer cells

§ Protect normal cells from environmental carcinogens

§ Reduce side effects and augment chemotherapy and radiation treatments

§ Activate the body’s immune defenses against bacterial and viral infections

§ Prevent reducing CD4 cells in AIDS patients

§ Help to halt HIV proliferation

§ Reduce symptoms due to infection among HIV/AIDS patients

§ Normalize blood sugar levels and the body’s insulin response

§ Lower blood pressure and cholesterol

§ Play a key role in weight loss

Maitake is considered to be the fourth therapy in cancer treatment—after chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. In preliminary government-sanctioned studies, prostate and breast cancer patients given Maitake D-fraction have experienced growth inhibition, symptom release, tumor marker reduction, and immune enhancement. The more doctors learn about maitake mushroom, the more excited they become about its long-term health benefits. Now, with this new book by two of the world’s leading maitake researchers, the breakthroughs in the study of maitake mushroom are available to everyone.
