Agaricus
In the seventies, two researchers from Penn State
visited the Sao Paulo, Brazil area and discovered the local natives
to be extremely healthy with a very low rate of disease. The longevity
rate was disproportionately high with people living well over
100. Their secret? It was a simple mushroom, they told the researchers,
the agaricus mushroom (Agaricus Blazei Murill or ABM).
Subsequent studies over the next 25 years have shown
the ABM to stimulate the immune system and promote natural mechanisms
to battle infectious disease and cancers. ABM stimulates lymphocyte
T-cell and Helper T-cell production. The polysaccharide contained
in ABM stimulates production of interferon and interleukin that
indirectly function to destroy and prevent the proliferation of
cancer cells. Additionally, ABM turned out to be a very powerful
antiviral agent preventing viruses from entering tissues.
Normally, the polysaccharides found in fungus only
affect solid cancers, however the polysaccharide in ABM is effective
against Ehrich's ascites carcinoma, sigmoid colonic cancer, ovarian
cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and liver cancer as well as
against solid cancers.
In Japan, ABM was found to eliminate all cancerous
tumors in 90% of the experimental mice. Additionally, when the
mice were fed ABM as a preventative and then injected with a very
powerful cancer causing agent (Sarcoma 180), 99.4% of them showed
no tumor growth. Conventional medicine has nothing as powerful
as this.
The studies in Japan showed ABM to be 80% more effective
than the world's number one cancer drug, PSK. It contains much
higher levels of beta glucans than the other medicinal mushrooms
(Maitake, Shiitake, and Reishi). It stimulates NK (Natural Killer)
cell activity at a rate higher than MGN-3.
It should be noted that the beta-glucans in these
mushrooms work best when taken with vitamin C.
The studies in Japan were so successful that today
Japan is now buying over 90% of the available ABM from Brazil.
The ABM mushroom is available in the US and you

Ultimate Immune has a Glucan Infusion that is far
superior to most ABM Mushroom products (always take with Vitamin
C).
