Did you know that carbon is the most abundant component of organic material? In fact, it makes up 98 percent! This means that it’s present in all living things on Earth, and is essential for life. So what does this mean for us? Keep reading to find out!
Chaga Mushroom Can Fight Cancer?
Chaga is called the “King of Mushrooms.” Consuming this well-known super plant links us to the mysterious hidden world, brightening our days and boosting our creativity. Chaga enhances the appeal of being alive while offering immediate benefits for digestion, healing, nutrition, and longevity.
Chaga mushrooms have been used as a medication for millennia in Siberia and other areas of Asia to increase immunity and improve general health. Chaga doesn’t taste like a typical mushroom that’s found in grocery stores. It has an earthy flavor with some bitterness. It contains natural vanillin which is found in vanilla bean. You can drink Chaga mushroom straight but the flavor may not be appealing to most people.
Despite its unappealing look, the Chaga mushroom is growing in popularity in the Western world because of its possible health advantages. Chaga tea has a high concentration of antioxidants. For most people it helps the body adapt to stress and it acts like a lavender essential oil. This is why it’s the perfect beverage to have before going to bed. For some I would recommend Roman chamomile but I recommend chaga for those who have challenges with getting the the benefits that this mushroom provides.
Chaga Mushroom Research
Cancer is one of the significant causes of illness and mortality globally, accounting for about 14 million recent cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths in 2012.In a 2010 research, Chaga inhibits the development of lung, breast, and cervical cancer cells in a petri dish. The same research discovered that Chaga might decrease tumor development in mice.
According to 2009 research, triterpenes present in Chaga and other mushrooms induce tumor cells to self-destruct. Triterpenese are a class of compounds found in plants. They are typically found in beans soy beans spinach lentils and oats. Triterpenese are anti-inflammatory antiviral antimicrobial and anti-tumoral and they also are immune modulator compounds.
Cancer therapies can include surgery chemotherapy and radiation. Other options are things like targeted therapy, immunotherapy, laser, hormonal therapy and many others. However, unlike other cancer therapies, Chaga does not damage healthy cells because it is naturally occurring in nature. The most important structural element is carbon. 12% of the human body is made up of carbon atoms. Carbon is the most abundant component of organic material, making up 98 percent on average. The remaining mass consists primarily of water and other nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium
Chaga Mushroom “The Cancer Fighter”
They have shown Chaga to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Chaga has a particular propensity for fighting melanoma (skin cancer). King of Mushrooms stops cancer cells from spreading by strengthening and feeding good cells and avoiding blood clumping and thrombi formation. When used with cancer-fighting pharmaceutical medicines and chemotherapy, Chaga minimizes their adverse effects.
Chaga has beta-glucans that have been proven to aid in chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Beta-glucans have been proven to enhance the body’s ability to repair red blood cells following bone marrow damage induced by chemotherapy and radiation treatment. According to a study published in Mutation Research in 2003. This protective effect of beta-glucan may be related to its ability to scavenge free radicals during the biotransformation of these antineoplastic drugs [chemotherapy therapies that target spiking cells]. Beta-glucan also restored the mitotic (cell division) activity of bone marrow cells that anticancer drugs had suppressed. These results imply that, besides its well-known immunostimulant characteristics, beta-glucan may have a role in reducing genotoxicity (the propensity to induce cancer) produced by antineoplastic drugs during cancer therapy.
Beta-glucans can aid in the reduction of liver and kidney damage caused by the chemotherapy drug methotrexate. Methotrexate cause life threatening side effects. It’s used to treat cancer. It slows down the bodies immune system and helps reduce inflammation it is used to treat inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis
How do beta glucans help us heal?
The capacity of the innate immune system to recognize and respond quickly to invading diseases, viruses, harmful bacteria, free-radical (radiation) damage, and other potentially hazardous environmental pollutants is essential for all life.
The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against infection and injury. It consists of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from harm.
The innate immune system does not require activation by another part of the immune system before it can act. It responds automatically to danger signals from the environment. That’s how intelligent your body is.
One of the most well-studied compounds found in Chaga mushrooms is a kind of polysaccharide known as “beta-glucans.” Beta-glucans are a type of fiber that is found in chaga. They help to boost the immune system and fight cancer. Betulinic acid is one of the main active ingredients in chaga that helps to fight cancer. It works by stopping the growth of tumors and killing cancer cells.
One of the main reasons for the growing scientific interest in beta-glucans is their consistent and direct connection to substantially speeding recovery from free-radical/radiation-damaged (cancerous) tissues and cellular debris.”
By triggering various immune system responses, beta-glucans effectively suppress the mutagenic and immunomodulatory effects of malignant tumors.” Malignant tumor has cells that grow uncontrollably and spread locally to distant sites. Men Diglett tumors are cancerous they spread through the bloodstream or the lymphatic system and this is called metastasis.
What's in chaga thats cancer fighting in prostate?
Cancer-Fighting and Prostate Health
I was never very close to my grandfather, but I always admired him. After he passed away from prostate cancer, I made it my personal mission to learn everything I could about the disease so that I could help my dad if he ever got diagnosed.
It turns out that there were a lot of things my grandfather could have done differently to extend his life. He didn’t have to die from cancer. If only someone had told him what he needed to know!
Now that I know all this information, I’m determined to make sure my dad doesn’t suffer the same fate as my granddad did. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him healthy and cancer-free.
There’s something special about Chaga when it comes to fighting cancer. The radical thing about it is that it contains a constituent that helps prevent cancer. And then cool thing about it is we don’t have to take it in a supplement we get it by consuming chaga mushroom tea.
Although not all serious cancers can be treated, Chaga may reduce pain, offer comfort, and stop or postpone malignant growth. Certain less advanced cancer cases may be prevented, and their spread (metastasis) averted if discovered early.
There is no direct evidence that Chaga fights prostate cancer. Chaga’s betulinic acid fights prostate cancer. Betulinic acid is a natural substance found in the Chaga mushroom. This substance has been shown to have anticancer properties in laboratory studies.
Betulinic acid is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid with antiretroviral, anti-malaria, and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s been discovered as a potential anticancer agent by inhibition of topoisomerase. Topoisomerase is responsible for the replication of DNA. By inhibiting this enzyme, betulinic acid prevents cancer cells.
When taken as a supplement, betulinic acid can help fight cancer by killing cancer cells and inhibiting their growth. Betulinic, I said, can be taken an ETA when drinking Chaga mushroom tea. Additionally, betulinic acid may also help boost the immune system, making it better able to fight off cancer cells.
If you are looking for a natural way to fight cancer, betulinic acid may be worth considering.
Chaga has also been found to suppress nuclear factor B (“kappa B”), a stress-related protein associated with several cancers, including prostate cancer.
