| Immune Sipport Immune Support consisting of 12 effective immune supporting and building ingredients. 1. Cats claw (Uncaria tomentosa) has wonderful immunomodulating properties, meaning it promotes balance within the immune system. When the immune sytem is over working it tones it down and when it is under working, it brings it back up. This is very good therefore in addressing Autoimmune responses. Cats claw is also a very effective anti- inflammatory. 2. Cordyceps: Cordyceps sinensis (dong chong xia ) has been suggestedto possess anti-tumor, immunostimulant and antioxidant activities. The chemical constituents for most species include cordycepin (3'-de-oxyadenosine) and its derivatives, ergosterol,polysaccharides, a glycoprotein and peptides containing alpha-aminoisobutyric acid. Their benefits are suggested to include anti-tumour, anti-metastatic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, antimicrobial,hypolipidaemic, hypoglycaemic, anti-ageing, neuroprotective and renoprotective effects. Polysaccharide accounts forthe anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumour, anti- metastatic, immunomodulatory, hypoglycaemic, steroidogenic andhypolipidaemic effects. Cordycepin contributes to the anti- tumour, insecticidal and antibacterial activity. Ergosterol exhibits anti-tumour and immunomodulatory activity.More about Cordyceps sinensis Cordyceps sinensis, a well-known and valued traditional Chinese medicine, is also called DongChongXiaCao (winter worm summer grass) in Chinese. In herbal medicient, it is commonly used to replenish the kidney and soothe the lung and it is belived to benefit fatigue, night sweating, hyposexualities, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, asthemia after severe illness, respiratory disease, renal dysfunction and renal failure, arrhythmias and other heart disease, and liver disease. 3.`Reshi (Ganoderma Lucidum) The triterpenes, polysaccharides, and vitamins in reishi mushrooms are thought to be responsible for their therapeutic effects, which include the ability to increase blood flow, stimulates the immune cells. and reduce inflammation. Reishi mushrooms contain polysaccharides (complex sugar molecules) called Beta Glucans that increase RNA and DNA in the bone marrow where immune cells, like lymphocytes, are made. Lymphocytes are cells found in the blood, lymph, and lymphoid tissues, which contain white blood cells, T and B cells. Mushroom polysaccharides, the same type of compounds found in astragalus, increase the activity of macrophages, which have a voracious appetite for harmful microorganisms and cancerous cells. Polysaccharides also trigger the production of a type of white blood cell that kills a wide range of infectious microorganisms and tumor cells. Reishi mushrooms also have strong antioxidant properties, which can protect the body from the harmful effects of radiation and free radicals. They can be used to boost your immune system and may also increase the effectiveness of antioxidant vitamins when the two substances are used together. Reishi mushrooms are believed to suppress tumor growth and are often used in cancer prevention efforts for this reason. Russian researchers at the Cancer Research Center in Moscow have had positive results using reishi extracts to boost the immunity of cancer patients. 4. Maitake (Grifola frondosa) First, mushrooms in general are valuable health foods - low in calories, high in vegetable proteins, chitin, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins & minerals. Second, Maitake mushrooms not only taste delicious, but are known to strengthen your immune system . Extracts of maitake mushrooms, particularly the beta glucan polysaccharide constituent, have shown to stimulate immune properties, resulting in producing anti-tumor effects. According to Harry Preuss, M.D., a physiology professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine, "Maitake is one of nature's richest sources of beta glucans ... which are among, or even may be, the most potent natural immune forces ever discovered". Laboratory studies have shown that Maitake mushroom extract can inhibit the growth of tumors and stimulate the immune system of cancerous mice. Finally, Maitake mushrooms are also rich in L-ergothioneine, a potent compound produced by fungi that has strong antioxidant properties and provide cellular protection within the human body. They are anti-viral and may also reduce blood pressure and blood sugar. 5. Agaricus blazei: is the newest medicinal mushroom. Also called the Royal Sun Agaricus, this medicinal mushroom was first discovered in Brazil, where the native cultures prepared it as a tea for medicinal purposes, but also ate it as a food. They have so much respect for this mushroom they call it "The Mushroom of the Gods". The agaricus blazei mushroom contains a special type of polysaccharides known as beta glucans. Studies show that beta glucan stimulates the activity of natural killer cells which are a vital part of the immune system. These polysaccharides are believed to be the most potent polysaccharides discovered so far, given their ability to modulate the immune response and promote cellular health. In addition to the beta 1-3 glucan found in most medicinal mushrooms, the Agaricus blazei mushroom also contains a unique beta 1-6 glucan; this may explain the profound immune supporting health benefits documented in the published research. 6. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a edible fungus native to Japan, China, and Korea. Shiitake mushrooms are the second most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. This mushroom has been licensed as a anti-cancer drug by the Japanese FDA and extracts from the mushroom are used in herbal remedies. They are valued both for their flavor as well as their medicinal benefits. Recent studies have traced shiitakes' legendary benefits to an active compound contained in these mushrooms called lentinan. Among lentinan's healing benefits is its ability to build up the immune system, strengthening its ability to fight infection and disease. Lentinan (which is the name given a highly purified polysaccharide fraction extracted from Shiitake mushrooms,) is a beta glucan that is found in several mushrooms, bakers' yeasts, and other foods. A polysaccharide is a large and complex molecule made up of smaller sugar molecules. The beta-glucan polysaccharide is believed to stimulate the immune system and activate certain cells and proteins that attack cancer, including macrophages, T-cells, and natural killer cells (types of white blood cells). In lab studies, beta glucan appears to slow the growth of cancer in some cell cultures. In Japan, mushroom extracts have become the leading prescription treatment for cancer. Lentinan is not only useful for cancer treatment, but may also prevent the increase of chromosomal damage induced by anti-cancer drugs. With lentinan there are no known side effects of any serious nature. A compound contained in shiitake mushrooms, lentinan, is believed to stop or slow tumor growth. Another component, activated hexose containing compound, is also said to reduce tumor activity and lessen the side effects of cancer treatment. Shiitake Found to be Top Food Source of Potent Antioxidant L-ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant, has been discovered in mushrooms, thanks to a new analytical method capable of identifying this antioxidant in plant material. In research presented at the 2005 American Chemical Society meeting in Washington, D.C., an American research team revealed that mushrooms contain higher concentrations L-ergothioneine than either of the two dietary sources previously believed to contain the most: chicken liver and wheat germ. Shiitake is also rich in several other anti-oxidants (Selenium, Uric acid & Vitamin A, E, & C). They also provide us with essential vitamins and minerals, among them A,B, B12, C, D and Niacin. As a functional food, Shiitake mushrooms have all eight essential amino acids in a higher, more condensed proportion than soy beans, meat, milk or eggs. 7. Coriolus Versicolor: The immune health benefits have been verified in hundreds of studies and dozens of human clinical trials, making Coriolus versicolor one of the most thoroughly researched medicinal mushrooms used for immune support.* Coriolus versicolor is known as Yun zhi in China and Kawaratake in Japan. In the U.S. it is also known as the Turkey Tail mushroom and by the scientific name Trametes versicolor. Coriolus versicolor is probably the most common shelf fungus in the world. 8. Lions mane: Lion's Mane Mushroom is one of the most interesting medicinal mushrooms. The tea made from Lion’s Mane mushrooms has been used for centuries in traditional Japanese herbalism, primarily as a "tonic". The modern scientific research now tells us it was the beta glucans in the mushroom tea that were in fact offering immune support, among other health benefits. 9. Polyporus Umbellatus: Although polyporus is mainly used in China, Native Americans may have relied on this fungus for food. Polyporus contains ergosterol and the polysaccharide I (Gu I ) and is also rich in minerals such as potassium calcium, magnesium and iron. Potential Benefits of Polyporus: Immune enhancement, anti- cancer/tumor and kidney support. 10. Tremilia fuciformis: The tremella medicinal mushroom contains 70% dietary fibers such as acidic polysaccharides and is very rich in vitamin D. This mushroom contains the bioactive constituent’s glucuronoxylomannan and vitamin D. Tremella has been used as a cough syrup to treat chronic cough it is also suitable for skin because it contains polysaccharides mannose, xylose and glucuronic acid. Potential Benefits: Immune enhancement, anti-cancer/tumor, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, liver support, respiratory tonic, blood sugar balancing, complementary treatment with radiation/chemo, anti-inflammatory and weight loss. 11. Poria cocos: Poria cocos is a mushroom amphoteric in its ability to help regulate either high or low, potassium and sodium balance. Traditional Chinese medicine uses Poria Cocos or Fu Ling to remove spleen dampness. Excessive dampness and deficiency of the spleen can be indicated by poor appetite, diarrhea and lassitude. The herb Poria Cocos is also used in herbal remedies for insomnia, restlessness, fatigue, sleep disorder, tension, and nervousness. Poria cocos is also known as: Fu Ling, Poria, Tuckahoe, Indian bread, or Hoelen. Poria cocos supports the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians in your body. 12. Aloe: Ancient civilizations all around the world had it right when they used Aloe Vera to heal, and maintain their demanding lifestyles. They knew the healing power the plant holds within, and those healing properties are great for almost every single part of your body. Aloe Vera is what people call a "Systemic Cleanser." It will clean your liver, and is good for digestion. It has anti-inflammatory properties to relieve pain. It is also great for relieving constipation by stimulating the intestines. It balances hormones, and calms the nerves. IT IS ALSO AN ANTI-FUNGAL, BACTERIAL, AND VIRAL. Aloe Vera is something every single person should have in their daily lives. It is one of THE BEST things for your body in the healing process. There is so much that this product will do, I can not even begin to explain. You can write books on the power of Aloe Vera. It is an amazing plant, and there is so much more it does for the human body that science can not even explain.
