Reishi - Hope for Cancer Sufferers?
Reishi - Hope for Cancer Sufferers?
By Peter Baynes
Dr. Ito of Japan would say “yes”.
While researching the effects of Reishi on laboratory mice being treated for cancer, Dr. Ito recorded an alarming result In the subjects involved in his research Metastasis of the cancerous cells was arrested. That being the desired result Dr. Ito went on to document the extent of the effect that Reishi had on the cancerous cells.
Noted effects were as follows:
1. The Reishi treatment had reinforced the membrane of the cancerous cells, thus impeding further spreading of the cancer.
2. The Reishi treatment had also prevented formation of thrombi, which allowed better fusion of medication.
3. The side-effects of other Cancer treatments including chemotherapy and anti-tumor drugs had been reduced and the effectiveness of these treatments increased by introducing the Reishi treatment. An all-round positive for a cancer sufferer.
4. The Reishi treatment aided in normalizing the subjects body systems, reducing further health complications during treatment.
During most treatments for cancer, scar tissue is formed around the cancerous cells. This scar tissue ultimately causes further infection and spreading of cancerous cells if left unchecked - an undesirable side-effect. The body s natural reaction to this is to form thrombi around the diseased area in an attempt to isolate this spreading. While this is somewhat effective in slowing or stopping the spread in this immediate area, the thrombi also inhibits the effective re-treatment of the area with medication by becoming a substantial barrier.
Traditionally an Anticoagulant is then used to counter the thrombi and allow further treatment of the cancerous cells with medication and chemotherapy. This particular method of treatment carries an inherent risk since the subject is now prone to uncontrollable bleeding, thanks to the Anticoagulant. This is where Reishi can help.

Another risk in this Cancer treatment is the possibility of thrombi multiples being carried by the blood stream and lodging in other parts of the system, this causing Phlebitis and spontaneous bruising from clogged blood vessels. A worst case scenario of this side-effect is Arteriosclerosis which can be fatal. Cerebro-Vascular Accident (CVA), commonly known as a Stroke may occur if the Cerebrum or Coronary Arteries are blocked due to this side-effect, as well as Myocardial Infarction.
It is a fact that Cancer Treatment patients more often die from treatment related complications or subsequent illness than from the cancer itself. Reishi s ability to assist in the prevention of thrombi formation plays a significant role in preventing the side-effects and related complications which can be fatal at worst, and very trying at best. It could be said that Reishi can arrest the spread of cancerous cells via thrombi formation and transfer. The results of Dr. Ito s research support this.
Once again I invite all interested parties to my website to learn more about Reishi and discuss the benefits of it s use.
