The Agaricus Blazei Murill Mushroom-"The Mushroom of God" by Tony Isaacs
A few decades ago, researchers noticed
that in the mountain region of Ideate near Sao Paulo, Brazil,
a regular part of the local inhabitants’ diet was a mushroom
known as 'Cogmelo de Deus' or 'Mushroom of God'. The researches
also noted that the local inhabitants were extraordinarily healthy
and had a very low incidence of cancer and other diseases, which
they attributed to this magical mushroom.
The scientific name of the mushroom
is Agaricus Brasiliensis (a.k.a. Agaricus blazei Murill, ABM Mushroom,
cogumelo do sol (sun mushroom), cogumelo de Deus (god's mushroom),
Brazil's mushroom, Royal Sun Agaricus or, in Japanese, Himematsutake).
Agaricus Blazei Murrill, more commonly called the ABM mushroom
and sometimes referred to as Agaricus Brasiliennis. So potent
is this mushroom that one well-known rainforest herbal manufacturer,
uses it as the main ingredients in herbal supplements that have
been credited with success against cancer and other diseases around
the world.
A Japanese-Brazilian farmer is credited
with first discovering the Agaricus brasiliensis in the summer
of 1965. In March 1995, Dr. Kazunari Satake M.D., Ph.D., commenced
a three-year clinical study with cancer patients. Dr. Satake announced
the results of his research to the Japanese Cancer Congress in
1998.
Since 1968, Dr. Takashi Mizuno Ph.D.,
has studied the bioactive substances in fungi, especially those
related to anti-tumor active polysaccharides. At the 12th Symposium
of the 7th General Meeting of Technical Discussion Group for Fungi
(held at Kinki University in Nara, Japan 1995), Dr. Mizuno presented
his results with the following, quite remarkable finding:
"A remarkable anti-tumor activity
was found in glycoprotein FIII-2-b, isolated from the fruiting
bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill. This glucan-protein complex
was the first case of an anti-tumor compound found in an edible
mushroom."
In a study conducted by Dr. Shoji
Shibata, a professor at Tokyo University, several other well known
cancer-fighting and immune-boosting mushrooms were compared to
the ABM, including Reishi and Shitake. Dr. Shibata's results found
that the other mushrooms were not as effective as the ABM mushroom,
and so the ABM was ranked at the top of the list of potent mushrooms
- a spot befitting the 'Mushroom of God'! Japanese and British
studies have proven ABM contains the highest levels of Beta-(6)-D-glucan
of any mushroom known in the world, a polysaccharide widely recognized
for its ability to enhance the function of the innate immune response
and the acquired immune response against a broad range of foreign
invaders to the body.
In addition to of Beta-(6)-D-glucan
, the ABM mushroom contains Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan and Beta-(1-4)-a
-D-glucan. These potent long-chain polysaccharides are among the
most potent immuno-enhancing substances yet found. They also have
very powerful anti-tumor properties. When human subjects are given
ABM in their diet, a 3000% increase of NK cells, a type of anti-tumor
white blood cell known as Natural Killer cells, is seen in the
blood within 2-4 days.
In addition to beta glucans, agaricus
also contains derivatives of ergosterol, a potent anti-tumor agent;
double stranded RNA, an anti-viral agent; proteoglucans and protein
bound polysaccharides of low molecular weight, which are immune
enhancers; and, protein bound polysaccharides of high molecular
weight, vitamins B1 and B2, proteins in the form of amino acids,
niacin, iron, and calcium. There are many verified reports from
around the world of this mushroom being used successfully in late
stage cancers that had been determined hopeless and some clinics
in Europe base their entire treatment protocols on agaricus blazei
murrill mushroom extracts and other complimentary botanicals.
In fact, some studies claim cure rates above ninety percent for
all types of cancer, even for stage 4 lung cancer, where many
complete remissions are often seen in just a few weeks.
Author’s note: The author recommends
the ABM mushroom as one of his top handful of cancer-fighters
and immune boosters, along with Colloidal Silver, cat’s
claw, pau d’arco, and carefully prepared aqueous oleander
extract.
