Re: Medicinal mushroom for immunity
Awww hate mushrooms?! I've met a few of you strange folk in my time ;-) hahahaa...
Altho' the tincture i have of Chaga doesn't taste like mushrooms at all...if anything it is quite intense bitter tasting because it's so concentrated.
I take all tinctures with a splash of water and down them in one gulp.
In your fragile state Paulette i would say going the mushrooms route for immune health could help - it's worth trying. I've heard nothing but excellent reviews for medicinal mushrooms through my research.
One guy to research - as he does his own blend of immune defence mushrooms tincture - is Paul Stamets.
He's a mycology Guru with a capital G! This guy really is the info portal for the amazing properties of mushrooms for health- he's dedicated his life to researching them. His work awes me.
He cured his own mother of metastisised end-stage breast cancer, she was too old for surgery, radiation treatment so she fought it with just turkey tail mushroom and completely cleared the cancer:

This is a blend he does of 7 very good immune boosting mushrooms for supporting general immune health:

This is a super immune blend of 17 medicinal mushrooms sold in capsules when intense immune support is needed:

I guess if anyone does has adverse affects from ANY immune boosting complexes, then it's worth questioning what is the immune system having to battle to cause such effects?
A healthy immune system with no severe pathogens to fight results in no symptoms.
Viruses, bacteria,
parasites all have the amazing ability to down-grade the immune system, hide from it, trick the immune system even that's it's not foreign...so if we boost a depressed immune system...and get detox/die-off symptoms we know the body is attacking something that shouldn't be there.
