Reishi Mushrooms
Reishi mushrooms are considered a “miracle” cure for all ailments, including cancer. A study in China proved that reishi mushrooms can slow the growth of tumors and activate programmed cell death in malignant cells.
Shiitake mushrooms, also known as Dong Co mushrooms, are used by the National Cancer Institute (USA) in the treatment of cancer patients. They contain Lentinan ([1,3]-beta-D-glucan), which can prevent or slow the growth of tumors.
They are also a source of Selenium, an antioxidant that prevents cancer, and are rich in minerals and vitamins B1, B2, and B3, essential for cancer patients.
Cloud Ear Mushrooms
Beta Glucan, found in abundance in Cloud Ear mushrooms, increases the number of immune cells, helping the body resist benign or malignant tumors. In fact, Cloud Ear mushrooms contain even more Beta Glucan than Reishi mushrooms.
With its rich source of Beta Glucan (1,3/1,6), Cloud Ear mushrooms have been proven to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in patients with cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers.
Lion’s Mane Mushrooms
Lion’s Mane mushrooms are a rare and valuable species. In ancient Japan, finding this mushroom was cause for celebration, hence its name. Research shows that Lion’s Mane contains medicinal properties that improve white blood cell deficiency, enhance blood circulation, and reduce fatigue and insomnia. This mushroom is used specifically to treat breast and lung cancer, as well as muscular-neurological syndrome.
Cordyceps Sinensis
Considered a miracle cure of the East, this precious medicine has long been used by royalty as a panacea for all ailments due to its valuable medicinal properties:
– Nutritional supplement to improve physical condition by stimulating appetite, improving sleep, stabilizing mood, and enhancing the body’s ability to fight disease.
– Boosting the immune system.

Turkey Tail Mushrooms
The Polysaccharide K (PSK) and Polysaccharide peptide (PSP) found in Turkey Tail mushrooms can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, as well as stabilize white blood cell counts. This mushroom helps patients maintain a stable mood, improves their appetite and sleep, and aids in quick recovery.
These six types of mushrooms are extremely valuable, especially for cancer patients. While they may not provide a cure, they are considered the best medicine to maintain, stabilize, and restore health from a medical perspective.
