Reishi inhibits 5 ar @ 90%

#31

Ganoderma lucidum / Reishi Polysaccharides increase RNA and DNA in the bone marrow where immune cells such as lymphocytes are made. One of the active polysaccharides is called D6. Researchers in Beijing injected it into mice for a week and then monitored the changes in DNA and RNA in the bone marrow. Increases were roughly 50%. Protein in bone marrow also increased by as much as 28.5%.

It is in the bone marrow that the body manufactures B-cells which in turn produce antibodies. It is also where macrophages have some of their earliest beginnings. Investigators in China found that the polysaccharide part of Reishi causes a marked increase in the action of macrophages to gobble up foreign cells in the abdomen of mice.

Dr. Morishige discovered that vitamin C renders the high molecular weight polysaccharides into oligoglucans of molecular weight about 30,000. He explains that once the oligoglucans are dissolved in the bloodstream, the macrophage, which normally rests until late in the war on abnormal and foreign cells, is called into action at an earlier stage of the battle.

Reishi polysaccharides also augments the responsiveness of antibodies, particularly IgG, by expanding the "memory" of T-cells. IgG constitutes a major class of antibodies in human serum that act to enhance phagocytosis (the cell-gobbling action of certain immune cells) and neutralize toxins.


How to use Ganoderma lucidum / Reishi Polysaccharide
Reishi polysaccharides have high molecular weights of up to 1,050,000, which makes absorptiion by the intestines difficult. Dr. Fukumi Morishige, M.D. found that patients given large doses of Reishi (2-9g/day) had diarrhea, but when a large dose of vitamin C was combined, no diarrhea occurred. Vitamin C renders the high molecular weight polysaccharides to a molecular weight of 30,000 when they are much more readily absorbed by the intestines and bloodstream.

For general health maintenance and prevention:
take 1 Reishi Polysaccharide capsules twice per day on an empty stomach. Also take 1000 mg of Vitamin C per day after breakfast (can take up to 8,000mg per day, at 1,000mg per time).

When a serious illness occurs, increase the dosage to 4 capsules of Reishi Polysaccharide in the morning and 4 Reishi mycelium capsules at night on an empty stomach. Also take 2,000-3,000 mg of Vitamin C per day after meals.


(Some people may experience Vertigo Reaction when they first take Reishi. During the first week, they may experience slight swelling of the head or dizziness. Arthritis patient may experienced a temporary increase in the pain level. This is a cleansing reaction, often called a "healing crisis". Continue to take Reishi and the symptoms will be alleviated within a week)

I did not make any new statements about reishi in general Lotus, only about that specific product that I went to the trouble to email Swanson's customer support about. We confirmed that it's the triterpenes that inhibit 5ar, and I just confirmed there are no triterpenes in one specific product in order to help people make better advised purchase decisions. With all the extracts ruled out that are now ruled out we now know that the only ones left are rather pricey. That's the ONLY point I was making with my posting of the information I received from Swanson's. That the cheap Swanson's extract that everyone thought was an amazing deal because it had triterpenes, does not, in fact, have triterpenes.

Polysaccharides are the most active element in reishi, " polysaccharides " (in reishi) exhibited significant anti-tumor capabities, in other words, making the product viable for BPH, adding vitamin C improves bioavailability of reishi.

Effects of β-glucans on benign hyperplasia of prostate
Model experiments suggested that glucan has, via activation of several immune mechanisms, palliative effects on various tumors (for review see [18]). When glucan is used simultaneously with medication, its effects are potentiated [11]. Our study offers, mostly due to the relatively low number of patients, only preliminary results supporting the hypothesis that oral administration of glucan has positive effects in patients suffering from benign prostate hyperplasia. However, our conclusion is supported by the case report showing significant effects with longer supplementation and higher dose.

Abstract: Ganoderma lucidum (G lucidum) is a medicinal fungus with a variety of biological activities. It has long been used as a folk remedy for promotion of health and longevity in China and other oriental countries. The most attractive character of this kind of medicinal fungus is its immunomodulatory and anti-tumor activities. Large numbers of studies have shown that G lucidum modulate many components of the immune system such as the antigen-presenting cells, NK cells, T and B lymphocytes. The water extract and the polysaccharides fraction of Ganoderma lucidum exhibited significant anti-tumor effect in several tumor-bearing animals mainly through its immunoenhancing activity. Recent studies also showed that the alcohol extract or the triterpene fraction of G lucidum possessed anti-tumor effect, which seemed to be related to the cytotoxic activity against tumor cells directly. Preliminary study indicated that antiangiogenic effect may be involved antitumor activity of G lucidum.

THE ROLE OF DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE IN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA
http://usrf.org/news/BPH_Prevention/DHT_Rev.pdf


Mushroom β-glucans have been proposed to act as "biological response modifiers" based on their effects on the immune system.[16] It has been suggested that receptors on the surface of innate immune cells called dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3 or CD11b/CD18) are responsible for binding to β-glucans, allowing the immune cells to recognize them as "non-self".[17][18] This immune response regulation also affects antitumour properties.[19][20][21] Several studies note an impact on epithelial cell cytokine generation.[22][23]
