The Agaricus Blazei Murill Mushroom - 'The Mushroom of God'

[Guest guest]

A few decades ago, researchers noticed that in the mountain region of

Ideate near Sao Paulo, Brazil, a regular part of the local

inhabitants' diet was a mushroom known as 'Cogmelo de Deus' or

'Mushroom of God'. The researches also noted that the local

inhabitants were extraordinarily healthy and had a very low incidence

of cancer and other diseases, which they attributed to this magical

mushroom.

 

The scientific name of the mushroom is Agaricus Brasiliensis (a.k.a.

Agaricus blazei Murill, ABM Mushroom, cogumelo do sol (sun mushroom),

cogumelo de Deus (god's mushroom), Brazil's mushroom, Royal Sun

Agaricus or, in Japanese, Himematsutake). Agaricus Blazei Murrill,

more commonly called the ABM mushroom and sometimes referred to as

Agaricus Brasiliennis. So potent is this mushroom that one well-known

rainforest herbal manufacturer, uses it as the main ingredients in

herbal supplements that have been credited with success against cancer

and other diseases around the world.

 

A Japanese-Brazilian farmer is credited with first discovering the

Agaricus brasiliensis in the summer of 1965. In March 1995, Dr.

Kazunari Satake M.D., Ph.D., commenced a three-year clinical study

with cancer patients. Dr. Satake announced the results of his research

to the Japanese Cancer Congress in 1998.

 

Since 1968, Dr. Takashi Mizuno Ph.D., has studied the bioactive

substances in fungi, especially those related to anti-tumor active

polysaccharides. At the 12th Symposium of the 7th General Meeting of

Technical Discussion Group for Fungi (held at Kinki University in

Nara, Japan 1995), Dr. Mizuno presented his results with the

following, quite remarkable finding:

 

" A remarkable anti-tumor activity was found in glycoprotein FIII-2-b,

isolated from the fruiting bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill. This

glucan-protein complex was the first case of an anti-tumor compound

found in an edible mushroom. "

 

In a study conducted by Dr. Shoji Shibata, a professor at Tokyo

University, several other well known cancer-fighting and

immune-boosting mushrooms were compared to the ABM, including Reishi

and Shitake. Dr. Shibata's results found that the other mushrooms were

not as effective as the ABM mushroom, and so the ABM was ranked at the

top of the list of potent mushrooms - a spot befitting the 'Mushroom

of God'! Japanese and British studies have proven ABM contains the

highest levels of Beta-(6)-D-glucan of any mushroom known in the

world, a polysaccharide widely recognized for its ability to enhance

the function of the innate immune response and the acquired immune

response against a broad range of foreign invaders to the body.

 

In addition to of Beta-(6)-D-glucan , the ABM mushroom contains

Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan and Beta-(1-4)-a -D-glucan. These potent

long-chain polysaccharides are among the most potent immuno-enhancing

substances yet found. They also have very powerful anti-tumor

properties. When human subjects are given ABM in their diet, a 3000%

increase of NK cells, a type of anti-tumor white blood cell known as

Natural Killer cells, is seen in the blood within 2-4 days.

 

In addition to beta glucans, agaricus also contains derivatives of

ergosterol, a potent anti-tumor agent; double stranded RNA, an

anti-viral agent; proteoglucans and protein bound polysaccharides of

low molecular weight, which are immune enhancers; and, protein bound

polysaccharides of high molecular weight, vitamins B1 and B2, proteins

in the form of amino acids, niacin, iron, and calcium. There are many

verified reports from around the world of this mushroom being used

successfully in late stage cancers that had been determined hopeless

and some clinics in Europe base their entire treatment protocols on

agaricus blazei murrill mushroom extracts and other complimentary

botanicals. In fact, some studies claim cure rates above ninety

percent for a broad range of cancers, even for stage 4 lung cancer,

where many complete remissions are often seen in just a few weeks.

 

Live long, live healthy, live happy!
