Cancer killer?, January 26, 2007
By Dennis Manning from Dayton (United States)
I like the fact that this product contains such a complete array of mushroom extracts to build the immune system. I have had cancer. I am in remission now and I believe this product may be partly responsible.

Cancer fighter, September 04, 2007
By Freda Husted-Downs from United States NV
The mushrooms in this- especially the Maitake - have had a 95% success rate in Japan against cancer. For 7 years I have been a Totally Alternative Breast Cancer surviour -First using pure Maitake then I have used this product for several of those!

Source Naturals, Mushroom immune Defense, November 10, 2007
By Milton M. Gross from United States Maine
This appears to do an excellent job. Another brand, primarily of shitake mushrooms, was initially suggested by a health practitioner when I had prostate cancer. I used that one, but the price is over double this one. I used only this one most of last winter and am again this fall. The doctor has said there is no more cancer. He has found none for three years.

I stopped taking the mushroom complex and was sick twice in 3 weeks. My immune system is low due to IBD and this keeps you as well as can be expected with an immune disorder.

Good for Sugar control, January 01, 2008

I take this supplement to help control my blood sugar and it helps!

Great Product, January 08, 2008
By from United States NY
Mushrooms do not get the credit they deserve! We have a lot to learn from eastern medicine and TCM. I hope some day conventional doctors will see how beneficial mushrooms are and recommend them in conjunction with their traditional western medicine. They could start with this product. (:

MUHROOM EXTRACT TO FIGHT FELINE INFECTIOUS PERITONITIS, January 16, 2008
By from United States OH
I use this for my cats' immune systems and to fight FIP. Dissolve a tablet in hot water, then add 1/4 of that liquid to some tuna or chicken or good canned food. They love the treat. It has worked for me in keeping the dry stage of FIP away.

Mushroom Complex, January 23, 2008
from United States New Mexico
my body keeps muscle testing (strong) for this supplement - so it must be good

So far, so good., January 27, 2008
By Todd Kaplan from United States CA
This seems like a very good product. I haven't been taking it long enough to judge if it fights colds, etc, but it seems to have lots of good mushrooms in it.

Wonderful!, November 14, 2006
from Singapore (Singapore)
I was having a bad cough and I took this product. Within 3 days, the coughing stopped.

I just started on a product called "Leukostim" made especially at the hormone center I am going to that has this mushroom product in it. My doctor gave to me to help build up my immune system and kill bacteria. Just started, so can't tell you how it works...but I read up on it as well and it appears to be something worth trying. Be able to better post something on this after a month or two.

I've taken this twice now. Can definitely be used as a LAXATIVE!

I did get an energy boost within an hour both times. Felt very good the first day. I'm fighting a virus and all my normal symptoms are exaggerated plus the virus symptoms also. I've added thymus and this Mushroom stuff to try to kick start my immune system.

I did have some significant pain in the left kidney area for 3-4 minuted today. Not sure if it might have been gas or a legit kidney/adrenal pain.

Took the last two days. Wife took also. Did not have the laxitive effect. Seems your body needs a day or two to adjust. I do get quite a boost of energy about an hour after taking one.

I was told not to eat mushrooms, let alone try a mushroom product, by someone that has recovered from amalgam poisoning and lyme disease. He said that mushrooms are a fungus. He also said never to use chlorella (which I have and had no adverse effects). Do you think there is any truth to anything he said? Does anyone here think you should/should not consume mushrooms?

Well, I know since I had these gut problems, steeming from either virus and/or gangrene in jaw (whatever kind of infection), I cannot tolerate chlorella or spirulina. They're an algae, and for some reason they do awful things to me now. They make me very sick and just sit in my gut and don't go anywhere.

So I don't know what mushrooms would do to me...they might be a bit difference I dont' know. I think it does depend on what you have.

I used to go "okish" sometimes on chlorella when I just had mercury, but other times it caused a lot of mercury mobilisation/excretion and I found those symptoms quite intolerable. However, it didn't do then what it does to me now. Things have really changed, so I just can't use algae products.

You can only go by your own responses. These should be pretty healthy otherwise because they contain so much goodness. If you do ok? I'd consume them, unless you notice bad reactions. However, sometimes that can be detox, but you'll probably know if it is or not.

Maybe with bad candida, you may find you don't respond so well to fungal/algae type products.

Thank you for your response, Bex. I don't remember having any bad reactions to them. He scared me though, when he told me that. I think I will try them again, and see what the reaction would be. I guess that's all one can do. Everyone seems to react so differently to different things, and I know there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to all these problems we have.

i personally dont eat any mushrooms or fungi,or anything with it in. recently i watched a video on line about tumours and docs saying that a tumour is made of fungus,i dont know how true this is,i read that the candida diet is a anti cancer diet, and you shouldnt eat any fungi at all.

There are apparently a LOT of studies (many done by Japanese) showing certain mushrooms to have big time anti-cancer properties and immune boosting. Varieties like Shitake, Maitake and Reishi are supposed to be very good.

It could be one of the more important new supplements to come out in years.
