Is coriolus biomass or coriolus PSK PSP better?
PSP and PSK are the two extracted forms of the Coriolus mushroom that provide the most concentrated form of the polysacharrides found in the mycelium stage of growth of the mushroom. Biomass may contain the polysacharrides but will also contain other materials, so a weight for weight analysis when judging price point is almost impossible.
PSK and mushrooms for colon cancer treatment?
It is thought that Coriolus PSK/PSP increase the natural killer cells count. These are the cells that fight invasion and destroy genetically abnormal cells that can cause tumours. In Japan, a large portion of their Cancer health budget is spent using Coriolus PSK/PSP as an adjuvent to conventional chemotherapies. Apart from the increase in Natural Killer cells it is thought that Coriolus also helps identify the ‘bad’ cells thus reducing the often painful side effects of the chemotherapy.

Does immune builder mushroom cause miscarriage?

Should i take an immune builder if i have an autoimmune condition?
Immune Builder is somewhat a misleading term in respect of Coriolus Versicolor. A better generic term would be Biological response modifier. This is because it is thought that Coriolus modulates the the immune system rather than just boosting one portion of it. The mechanism of action is thought to be stimulation of the Thymus gland which produces Th cells. The Th cells can then differentiate into different classes of cells dependant on what the immune system requires. these could be either Natural Killer cells or regualtor T cells. The regulator cells act a bit like the referee in a boxing match. Once the killer cells have done their job, the regulator cells step in to say the fight is over!

Which mushroom extracts are best for prostate cancer?
The underlying reasons behind many different cancers have many different causes. Whilst there have been more studies and trials regarding Coriolus than any other mushroom, it is thought that the polysacchardies found in Coriolus have the greatest potential benefit to helping the body’s own defence system fight anomolies such as tumours.
The polysacharrides in Coriolus are thought to replace a number of the eight known mono-sacarrides that we are now failing to get through our diet and lifestyle. This deficiency leaves our immune system at best depressed and in many cases, so depressed that we no longer even suffer the symptoms of minor infections from invasive bacteria and viruses. It is only when these conditions become catastrophic and display in the form of cancers do we realise.
This is why taking Coriolus as a preventative supplement is so important rather than as a last resort.
