Cordyceps mushroom, truth and fiction, useful properties.

In China, it is believed that this is not just a mushroom, it is an animal and a plant and an insect at the same time. Mycelium Cordyceps gets into the body of an insect and this moment already the fungus controls the insect. The fungus begins active growth within the body. The appearance of the fungus from this is very unusual: a thin mushroom leg that grows directly from the insect's head. Therefore, in China it is called the head-tuber. People from antiquity noticed that this fungus has high adaptive properties and can grow, both in high mountains and in an artificial environment. The body of the fungus is a precious and useful drug and has a long history of application in Chinese and Tibetan traditional medicine. It has immunomodulatory, adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, bacteriostatic and antioxidant, antistress actions. Chinese doctors also believe that the fungus is able to influence the energy channels of organs and systems and restore metabolism.










 

 

In ancient times people noticed that sick animals went to the mountainous terrain, ate cordyceps and in a short time returned already healthy and full of energy. Farmers began to feed cattle with this fungus, and then they became interested in traditional medicine in China.

 

The miracle of this fungus is that even with a short course of 1 month, there are already certain positive results, which is not typical for most herbal preparations. Typically, antibiotics are famous for such speed. That's why the fungus cordyceps is called a natural antibiotic.

 

The composition of Cordyceps affects 77 micro and macro elements, more than 85 types of enzymes, including coenzyme Q (ubiquinone), essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, betacarotene, vitamins E and C, beta glucans, selenium and zinc, immunomodulating polysaccharides .

 

Anti-inflammatory characteristics of the fungus:

 

Scientific research conducted in America in 2011 was published in the Journal of Natural Products in September 2011. During the study, it was found that when it is used, elastase is released and superoxide anion is generated, which leads to a decrease in inflammatory reactions. The action from taking Cordyceps in the right concentration was comparable to that of hormonal drugs. A group of subjects suffered for a long time various inflammatory joint diseases. On the 10th day of admission, 45% noted a reduction in pain on a scale from 8 to 4. On day 20, 68% of the subjects noted a reduction in pain to 2 points. After the treatment, a stable remission was observed.

 

Antitumor activity and fighting with oncology.

 

And so why is this fungus attributed to such an effect on cancer? Many have heard of the treatment of cancer with Cordyceps, let's see.

If to you any seller promises full 100% of recovery after reception of a course of Cordyceps, it is swindlers. Yes, this fungus is well studied and has proven activity against mutating tumor cells, but it also depends on the stage of the disease, the type of cancer, the way of life, age and even nutrition.

 

The results of clinical and experimental studies indicate that Cordyceps extracts possess antitumor and antimetastatic activity (Yoshida J. et al 1989, Nakamura K. et al 1999). H.S. Kim et al. (1999). It is due to the unique polysaccharides that the ability to slow the growth of colonies of tumor cells has been found. Polysaccharides serve as distinctive markers and signaling molecules, for the recognition of our immune system by mutating cells. As a result, a large 5-year survival was revealed than in the control group of patients.

Also, special cells of beta glucans trigger the controlled process of apoptosis (death of the tumor cell) due to which the growth of the tumor is inhibited, followed by complete destruction.

The effect of the components of the fungus enhances the therapeutic effect, the reception of cordyceps increases the effect of chemotherapy, improves the inhibitory antitumor effect, while increasing the effectiveness of the action of chemotherapy by 68-76%, the effectiveness of radiotherapy is increased by 26-33%. Taking Cordyceps after surgical removal of the tumor, shortens the time of recovery and healing of wounds, which allows the patient to go to chemotherapy and radiotherapy much sooner. It stops the rapid spread of the tumor, makes it possible to eliminate ascites in the thoracic cavity. Reduces adverse toxic reactions after the therapy, softens the reaction when suppressing the functions of the bone marrow.

 

After reading the article, you should not abandon the standard medical treatment, hoping only for herbs and bada. The fungus is perfectly compatible with traditional methods of treatment. And it is better to attack the enemy from all fronts, let there be more chances for your victory.
