Testimony about treatments and alternate therapy using Coriolus Versicolor abound. Here is one such relating to lung cancer

In private practice for 15 years, Dr. Bailey has taught courses in nutrition and pharmacognosy at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland. He has been using the Coriolus versicolor polysaccharide extract for three years to relieve such illnesses as hepatitis B and C, AIDS, herpes genitalis, cancer, general immune suppression, and post-surgical recovery. Usually Dr. Bailey doesn’t administer the Coriolus polysaccharides as a single treatment agent; rather, it becomes part of his fairly comprehensive nutritional protocol.

“Of course, some cancer patients take Coriolus versicolor even while they engage in radiation treatment or chemotherapy” Dr. Bailey advises. “Or, the patients don’t submit to chemotherapy or radiotherapy at all but rely, instead, exclusively on nutritional therapies with the mushroom as a main treatment ingredient.

For example, one of my patients, a 34 year-old woman working in the health field consulted me with a cancer spreading at two sites in her lungs. Orthodox treatment had been tried but no longer was effective. She embarked on nutritional therapies and completed six months of taking Coriolus versicolor.

Radiological examination then showed that all of her lung tumors had disappeared. Seeing her current progress, orthodox medicine probably would declare this patient to be cured.”
