Mushroom Hedgehog comb "Hericium comb" Gave new hope to many cancer patients. The unusual appearance of the mushroom has inspired the fans of this fungus for a variety of names: lion's mane, monkey mushroom, monkey's head, bear's head, hog's head, satire's beard, old man's beard, jagged mushroom, Pom-Pom (due to the similarity to a pompom on a winter hat) . In Japan, it is known as Yamabushitake (Yamabushitake). "Yamabushi", literally - "one who sleeps in the mountains", is the name of the monks-hermits from the ascetic Buddhist sect Syugendo. The fungus resembles the worn clothing of monks. It is also called Yokotake (mushroom drunkard), Usagitake (rabbit mushroom), Harisenbon (air fish).
In China, the main production site of this wonderful fungus called or Shishigashira (Shishigashira) - head of a lion, or Houtou (Noutou) - baby monkey. Where it is cultivated and is quite expensive.
Dimensions of the fungus from the 5 40 to see, he grows on dead wood, mainly on the stumps and the logs fallen deciduous trees - oak, walnut, klёne, beech or sycamore trees.
Recently, scientists from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, China conducted a series of experiments to see if Geritsium can activate T and B lymphocytes of the immune system. These white blood cells circulate in the blood vessels and kill all body cells and foreign substances - cancer cells, bacteria, viruses and fungi. In the experiment, scientists have found that polysaccharides Geritsiuma increased growth rate lymphocytes doubled their number increased three times as much of the original.
The antitumor effect of Hedgehog comb has also been studied by leading domestic scientists. The animals were inoculated with two tumors - T-lymphoma EL-4 and T-cell lymphocytic leukemia P388, and then they were injected with an aqueous extract of the fungus. Changes in body weight, tumor weight, and survival of mice were monitored. Conclusion: the aqueous extract of the Hericium mushroom has a significant, statistically significant independent antitumor effect against both tumors studied. The antitumor effect consisted of inhibiting tumor growth and prolonging the life of animals. So on the 19th day of the experiment, the number of surviving animals was 70%, compared to the control group - 30%.
Another group of scientists from the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering and Technology University, Kangwon, South Korea investigated the aqueous and alcohol solutions Geritsiuma. Researchers have found that a substance extracted from activated macrophages Geritsiuma and these increased synthesis of nitric oxide synthesis by macrophages, and expression of IL-1 cytokines and TNF-alpha.
To test the effectiveness of Hemorrhoid on tumors, scientists from Kyoritsu Pharmaceutical Industry Co., Japan, transplanted sarcoma into laboratory mice and then fed them Hericium extract for 14 days. At the end of the studies, tumors were excised and weighed. Result - tumor or stop the growth of, or significantly reduced. Scientists came to the conclusion that the effect of the tumor did not happen directly - inhibiting tumor, and after activation of the immune system of animals. Also, anti-tumor properties Geritsiuma researched in Ukraine: the famous scientist Natalia duel of the Institute of Botany named after NG Cold National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, described in his work "Medicinal properties Geritsiuma thorny and prospects for its use in biotechnology and medicine" overall anti-tumor properties of substances Geritsiuma.
After receiving the results of scientific research on the antitumor properties of the mushroom from Dr. Takashi Mitsuno, the development of standardized extracts of this mushroom began to work with sick people. This extract was obtained by developers from the Zhejiang Fange Pharmaceutical Co. pharmaceutical factory. “, after which a series of clinical trials were launched on volunteers in cancer clinics in China. These tests led to interesting results: - that Hericium had a powerful effect on esophageal cancer, stomach cancer and liver cancer was expected. The tumors in patients decreased significantly in size, and in some cases, cancerous nodes visually disappeared. It was found that the use of Hemlock comb goes well with chemistry and irradiation. But the main result of the research was dramatic effect on fungus pancreatic cancerWhich, as you know, hard treatable by conventional techniques. Treatment of pancreatic cancer medicinal mushroom extract Geritsium comb is one of the most promising at the moment.
Geritsy has powerful anti-cancer properties due to its existing beta-glucans and other polysaccharides. Doctors in China Geritsium administered either together with chemotherapy and radiation, and as monotherapy, when the use of standard means unacceptable.
Which diseases can be used extract Geritsiuma?
The extract is made mainly to:
- Treatment and prevention of cancer (malignant tumors);
- Treatment and prevention of benign tumors;
- Use as an adjunct to and after chemotherapy and radiation therapy;
also Geritsium It is used in the treatment of Alzheimer's diseaseSince there have Geritsiuma substances stimulating production of a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF). This protein is needed for brain development and preservation of important sensory neurons. Simply put, Geritsium can restore the nervous tissue of the brain and work to restore nerve cells - neurons.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the fungus is called Houtou and is taken in cases: if the patient has cancer, gastritis, stomach ulcer or 12-peritoneum, as hemostatic in cuts and scratches. Also, the fungus is used for neurasthenia, insomnia, impotence and for the restoration of the nervous system. It is used for the protection of the liver and bronchitis. Even the Chinese use it for the treatment of internal organs, the fungus stimulates the digestion of food, improves overall health and improves metabolism. The fungus is used not only as a medicine, but also as a culinary dish - its taste resembles the taste of a crab or lobster. So now it can be found in the menu of gourmet restaurants.
Although Geritsium was part of the diet in Japan and China for centuries, but the scientific study of its medicinal properties is relatively recent. Scientists have drawn his attention anticancer properties used by traditional healers of the Asian region. The first researcher of its properties was Dr. Takashi Mizuno (TakashiMizuno) from the University of Shizuoka in Japan, which is in the "International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms" wrote the article on the anti-tumor properties of this mushroom. He noted that:
- In Geritsiume have 5 different polysaccharides;
- Polysaccharides from the fruiting bodies Geritsiuma well work against cancer in many organs, especially the stomach, esophagus, skin, liver, and most importantly - against pancreatic cancer, which is very badly treated by official methods;
- These polysaccharides simulated patients immune system so that it helps to fight the tumor and helps with chemotherapy;
- A fruit body were also found other antitumor substances - phenols Geritsiny A and B, and the fatty acid YA-2, which act directly on cancer cells, as well as chemotherapy.
