Super Anticancer Agent Number Thirty-One — Agaricus
We discuss the anticancer properties of super anticancer agent number thirty-one Agaricus (Blazei Murill).
The Agaricus mushroom grows in Brazil and plays a large part in the local native people’s diet who live in Piedade close to San Paulo.
Japanese research at Tokyo University National Center Laboratory and Tokyo College of Pharmacy discovered other therapeutic mushrooms, such as Coriolus, Matake and others, compared to Agaricus, are inferior.
The Japanese researchers found that Agaricus extensively increases the immune system’s ability to fight disease, mainly due to more potent polysaccharides, especially (beta-D-glucan).
After another clinical study in Japan in 1980, a report by the Japan Cancer Association stated that, unlike other mushroom polysaccharides, those in Agaricus affect not only solid tumours but also breast, ovarian, lung, Ehrlich’s ascites carcinoma, liver and other non-solid cancers. Amazingly, Agaricus was some 80% more potent with greater levels of beta-glucans than the PSK extract from Coriolus Versicolor, once the planet’s top cancer drug.
Finally, extensive research shows that Agaricus has antitumour properties, enhancing macrophages to destroy cancer cells or delaying cancer cell proliferation. The mushroom also contains plant…
