Mushrooms are a particular kingdom of organisms distinct from the Animals and Plants. If they know more than a half million species from microscopic to the largest and most have special features, here are some:
§ From the evolutionary point of view sono più vicini agli animali che alle piante.
· Si riproducono attraverso le spore.
· Non hanno clorofilla perciò non hanno la fotosintesi.
· La struttura della membrana delle loro cellule non è cellulosa ma chitina.
· Le malattie dei funghi, a differenza di quelle delle piante, affliggono anche gli umani. Molti microbi che attaccano i funghi come Escherichia coli, Stafilococchi, Pseudomonas, ecc. creano patologie anche agli umani che pertanto possono utilizzare le strategie difensive biologiche dei funghi che sono organizzati per produrre sostanze antibiotiche per combattere i batteri.
· I funghi contengono potenti medicinali e many nutrients.
Man for centuries has been nurtured and cared for with the mushrooms and use more accurate and free of side effects is to take full in any form, because they constitute a real synergy complex.
are known about 300 species of mushrooms with medicinal properties, but most are about 35 species and at least 20 are grown organically on land free of toxic substances (most are also important food) and after proper drying are ready for use.
Mushrooms contain up to 40% protein, up to 21% carbohydrate, more than 30% of insoluble fiber, minerals and vitamins (B1, B2, niacin, biotin, Vit C, Vit D precursor), enzymes, triterpenes, lipids, etc..
Their therapeutic properties are expressed mostly as:
immunomodulatory, detoxifying, toning, balancing metabolic (cholesterol, uric acid, creatinine), antioxidants, anticoagulants, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antiviral properties.
Many have been clinically studied and clearly show important anticancer activity , also were all devoid of toxicity, and are well tolerated.
The use of medicinal mushrooms, depending on the disease, is oriented on the most suitable: mycelium, spores, fungus whole.
for the treatment of degenerative diseases is recommended to use the entire mushroom, which in severe cases can be enriched with extracts, in order to keep the action more balanced.
The type of action the most important medicinal mushroom is the return of ' homeostasis, for the synergy of all the substances they contain, without causing additional stress to the body by activating non-specifically, the ability to self-regulation.
Their action is of type adaptogen and occurs on several levels: nervous system, endocrine system, Immune system, Psyche.
allopathic medicine tends to use active extracts and concentrates to enhance the action, but this method may cause side effects that disappear with the use of the fungus fly in doses up to 15 grams. for administration.
The healing properties expressed by fungi depends mainly on three types of compounds and their ability to activate metabolic detoxification:
· ENZYMES - SOD, catalase, protease, oxidoreductase, peroxidase. There is an inverse relationship between decrease in enzymatic power and length of life. Detoxification, immune system support, balance of cellular metabolism, the gut flora of PH.
· SECONDARY METABOLISM - chelating agent, lecithin, sterols, antibiotics, triterpenes. Anti-angiogenic substances, thrombin inhibitors, ACE inhibitors, statins natural anticoagulant substances. Inhibition of cell proliferation and the processes of metastasis, stimulation of anticancer and antimicrobial modulation of the cell cycle, etc..
· POLYSACCHARIDES - anticancer and immunomodulatory activities. - Chitin, beta-glucans, Glycoproteins. Activation and balance the immune response.
· DETOXIFICATION - Activation of the detoxification of toxic overload due to alcohol, smoke, preservatives, unregulated power, pain medication, antibiotics, steroids, immunosuppressants, altered homeostasis, inflammation, joint pain, infection, chronic, dysbiosis, candidiasis, excess free radicals, oxidative stress, etc..
