Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 One very important point on Reishi use. The alleopaths have developed many drugs to resensitize the insulin receptor sites in type2 diabetes,hypoglycemia,and Syndrome X (insulin resistance) - such as Metformin - but Reishi does the same thing (dissolve the crosslinking at the receptor sites) more effeciantly and without the many potential side-effects of Metformin - Reishi will take longer to work (one study shows that it takes about one year to heal and resenstitise the insulin receptor sites with Reishi) but the cure is safer and more sure than the alleopathic medicines. In such cases I always use cordyceps and reishi together. Those interested in balancing brain chemistry should read dr. Braverman's book 'The Edge Effect'. The understanding of the basic brain chemicals - Dopamine, Acetylcholine, GABA, Serotonin - will help many with the intractable mental symptoms that millions in modern times suffer from. Many patients have taken gallons of herbal decoctions, taken accupuncture, practiced dozens of theraputic protocals but have not recovered - brain chemistry is key for many of these patients. I have not discussed these issues here before as many TCM practioners are prejudiced against this emerging new natural paradigm - which breaks from traditional theraputics. I understand this attitude - I used to have it myself - but I no longer agree with this stance. Practioners should use every tool available to achieve their goals.
