Mushrooms and Fungi

Considered the "Fifth Kingdom" Siberian Chaga and similar species of Fungi are NEITHER plant nor animal, yet its DNA chromosomal makeup is 30% closer to humans than plants.

The greatest success of the Pharma Industry to date is the introduction and discovery of "Antibiotics". it should be noted that antibiotics came from molds and fungi, closely related to the Chaga species.

Siberian Chaga tends to be grouped with another fungi and mushroom species such as Ganorderma Lucidum, commonly known as: Reishi in Japan and Lingzhi in China due to their medicinal properties, however, this generality and/or grouping is incorrect for they are different sub-species and do not contain the phytonutrients, butulinic acid, beta glucans and SOD found in Siberian Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus).

Chaga is rich in minerals such as: Vitamin B1, B2 and B3 as well as Amino Acids. It contains Ergosterol (Vitamin D2), which is not found in vegetables and has low Caloric Value and High in Dietary Fibers

Chaga contains a complex "cocktail" of phytonutrients and immune activating compounds such as Beta Glucans (Complex Carbohydrates) or Polysaccharides found in Algae, Yeast, Oats, etc. Beta Glucans are largely responsible for warding off tumors, immune deficiencies, viral, bacteria and parasitic diseases, as well as hormonal imbalance and the prevention of oncogenesis.

Siberian Chaga has 29 beta factions. It contains Saponins, Sterols, Triterpenes, SOD, Protein and Amino Acid Complexes and other Trace Minerals. Siberian Chaga contains 215 Phytonutrients as compared with Lingzhi or Reishi with 180, and has direct synergy with chemotherapy in preventing tumor metastasis.

The only commonality is that all of them are, and form part of, over 200 proven medicinal BASIDIOMYCETES MUSHROOMS of which Siberian Chaga is at the top of the chain as the most desirable, rare and powerful.

Chaga has an advantage no other fungus or mushroom has - that it contains "betulinic acid". Betulinic acid and clinical and biochemical research have demonstrated strong anti-tumor activity with virtually no side effects nor toxicity.

Chaga contains large amounts of betulin or betulinic acid, a natural substance that is being studied for use because of its anti-cancer properties. Chaga also contains the full spectrum of immune-stimulating phytochemicals found in other medicinal mushrooms such as the maitake and shiitake mushrooms in a form that can be ingested orally.

All superior medicinal mushrooms, and in particular Siberian Chaga, contain vast amounts of triterpenoids and Sterols. Lingzhi and Reishi has 100 types including Ganoderenic Acid "A" and Ergosterols and Ergosterol Peroxides.

By Comparison, Siberian Chaga has a similar profile to Lingzhi and Reishi but has far greater values are found in betulinic acid and high amounts of Lanosterol - linked triterpenes, which are found only in Siberian Chaga.

Lanosterols for anti-bacteria candidas, cholesterol, assists to lower blood pressure, circulation, etc., Trameternolic Acid for non-insulin dependent diabetics, Inotodiol for anti-tumor viruses and influenza type A and B, Ergesterols for antioxidant therapy and oncogenic and immune defense. These sterol derivatives have been found effective for herpes, lupus, allergies and psoriasis. Saponins are normally found in vegetables and long known as natural antibiotics for plants. Current and published research indicates that Saponins play an essential role in lowering the risk of cancer and high LDL cholesterol levels.

An abundance of Lingzhi or Reishi are available to the public, but sadly too many firms supply the active primary ingredients in capsule form, which are diluted and standardized for easy consumption. This is not optimum for absorption.

Of 140,000 types of mushrooms and fungi 38,000 are mushrooms species of which only 200 have demonstrated some medicinal value. Of these 200 species, approximately 50 have shown researchers truly "superior and edible higher basidiomycetes". The top 10 superior medicinal mushrooms out of 50 are: (In order or medicinal value)

1. Siberian Chaga (Inonotus Obliquus)
2. Agaricus Blazei Murill (Agaricus)
3. Ganoderma Lucidum (Lingzhi and Reishi)
4. Grifola Fronsosa (Maitake)
5. Lentinus Edodes (Shiitake)
6. Coriolus Versicolor (Yunzhi)
7. Cordyceps Sinensis
8. Tremella Fuciformis
9. Hericium Erinaceus
10. Phellinus Linteus

These 10 medicinal mushrooms account for approximately 83% of all the medical research studies performed to date.

Their combined value is a medical smorgasbord, which has shown efficacy and value in the pharmaceutical and natural treatment, prevention, wellness of multiple diseases, infections, and maladies.
