thetruthaboutcancer--2020-09-09--Whole Plant Medicine and the Entourage Effect

We ’ re all dependent on the plant kingdom .
Have been since we crawled out of our caves .
We ’ re dependent on the plant kingdom for food , for medicine , for shelter .
So the plants have become a passion for me .
These are some of my professors and teachers , if you will , from the Machiguenga and Shipibo tribes .
So I want to talk about plants .
I want to talk about our relationship with the plant kingdom and what the plant kingdom has to offer us .
I mean , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about 100,000 species of plants down there .
Of which , only a tiny 3 % have been studied by the Western model of science for the therapeutic value .
Yet over 25 % of pharmaceuticals come from that tiny 3 % that have really been looked at .
Even beyond that , when we ’ re looking at plants , there ’ s some interesting things .
I ’ m going to talk a lot about the entourage effect in a little bit .
The way plants work is different than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I see part of a paradigm shift happening .
We ’ ve lived in a world of reductionism and isolationism to where we look at a plant , and every drug company in the world ’ s in the Amazon rainforest .
Why ?
Because that ’ s where everything is .
You got the highest concentration of life energy , of chemistry , of nutrition and energetics , and new molecules down there .
So they ’ re looking at this and pata de vaca , [ pedrumaca 00:11:05 ] , for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for balancing blood sugar .
Make a hot-water infusion out of the leaf .
It reduces the blood sugar levels , so obviously that ’ s a big target as a diabetic drug , a multi-billion dollar deal .
However , when pharmaceutical companies would study that , what they would see is—break this down into the active components , and none of the active components worked .
None of them worked .
It had to be a hot-water infusion of the whole leaf , then it works .
So that gets abandoned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t pharmaceutical companies grab these and run with them ?
” Well , it doesn ’ t fit the business model because that whole model is built on isolates .
Sangre de drago , the same way , not only is it rich in proanthocyanidins .
It also very antiviral in particular with the herpes virus .
But again , you can spend 10s of millions of dollars , and some companies did .
They saw what the sap did , but they don ’ t sell sap , so they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a model like that .
So part of this paradigm shift I ’ m talking about , why I ’ m so excited and so optimistic about the future is , people are finally recognizing that the plants work with an entourage .
We have a complex chemistry , our bodies , a very finely-tuned , finely-engineered , complex organ with some innate intelligence where everything is working .
So when we introduce plants into it , plants have a very complex chemistry as well .
But our bodies understand that complex chemistry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into our physiology and do that .
So we want to allow the plants to do that .
So when you ’ re talking about plants , especially cannabis , we ’ re getting into the idea of full-plant extract versus isolates .
So let ’ s talk about some of these plants .
I t alked about before from the Amazonian plants , una de gato .
Yes , it has the ability to kickstart macrophage and phagocytosis , really get the immune system up .
So these are really nice to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Remember I said cannabis , we ’ ve got cannabinoid receptor sites on practically every cell in our body .
So normally , whatever you ’ re putting with that cannabis , I see an increase in efficiency of the whole thing .
So the una de gato has been shown to inhibit some cancer cell growth , to actually induce apoptosis .
It ’ s a very well-known anti-inflammatory .
If we look at some of the studies here , you ’ ll see it ’ s anti-immunogenic and anti-proliferative effect on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see GreenMedinfo , a wonderful resource for looking at data on plants , on cannabis , greenmedinfo.com .
You can go there .
They ’ re accumulated a lot of studies .
So if you ’ re trying to go on the internet and look for some of this , you can just be overwhelmed with all of this stuff .
But if you just want to look at the studies that have been done with specific plants and specific health issues , GreenMedinfo is a great , great resource for that .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Phenotype of Invasive Breast Cancer Cells Repressing Malignancy.
” EGCG is an epigallocatechin gallate .
It ’ s a type of a catechin that you find in other plants as well .
You ’ ll find this in yerba mate .
You find this in green tea .
You find this in camu camu .
Those are very important .
Sangre de drago , I talked about it before as 90 % pure proanthocyanidins .
It ’ s a potent antioxidant , anti-inflammatory benefits , anti-viral .
And it ’ s also been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s very important .
The “ Anthocyanidin ’ s Targeting of Signaling Networks in Cancer Cells ” , a nice little study there that shows how it interferes with some of the metabolic processes of cancer .
Chanca piedra , I talked about it earlier .
They had given me chanca piedra .
It ’ s a extraordinary plant .
Never seen it fail for kidney stones and eliminating excess calculi in the body .
But now we know something else .
Phyllanthus niruri , which is chanca piedra , can interfere @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tumorigenesis and be used as a potential therapeutic candidate for treatment of cancer .
So there ’ s many plants in the Amazon .
These I think are right now in my opinion the top ones to be using in conjunction with cannabis .
And then graviola .
The antiangiogenesis is really , I think , the main thing for graviola .
I mean , it ’ s full of these acetogens .
We use the leaf of the plant .
It produces a fruit .
I have 2,000 of these growing on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It produces this big fruit .
That fruit , you can use for ice cream .
You use it for ice cream in Peru .
It ’ s the leaf is really the part that we ’ re looking at for the antian- giogenesis properties .
It ’ s full of these acetogens .
These acetogens have an affinity for fast-growing cells .
So they will go to cells that are growing really quickly , right , which is where you want them to go in the case of a tumor .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ vascularity and the nutrient supply to that tumor , so it really compromises that tumor .
Oftentimes , that tumor will respond with a little inflammatory indicator .
So if you ’ ve got your immune system up on guard , then it knows what to do .
Camu camu is a favorite of mine .
I ’ ve got 28,000 camu camu trees growing in the flood plain of the rainforest .
The great thing about camu camu is it grows in the flood plain .
So what does that mean ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ year when the rains come and that water level rises 30 feet , these plants are underwater .
And you would expect them to die , but they don ’ t .
They love it .
They love those rains .
They would just thrive in the environment .
What ’ s really cool about that is that all these 100,000 species of plants in the Amazon that are contributing .
Their leaves fall onto the floor .
Their plants fall over .
The limbs fall off .
And all of that falls @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Amazon Rainforest .
And when the rains come , it picks all of that up from the entire Amazon Rainforest and moves it around the flood plain , and it comes directly to these camu camu trees .
So you think about the density of nutrition and concentration of molecules that they have to choose from for their life purpose .
They can draw out of the soil and integrate into their life being .
Lastly , you want to make sure you ’ re detoxifying .
Because if you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and you ’ re getting the kind of result that you want to be getting , you ’ ll end up with a lot of cellular debris that you want to move through the lymphatic system and detoxify .
So the jurubeba an interesting plant in Brazil .
It ’ s used down there as a hangover remedy because it detoxifies the liver so quickly .
But I ’ ve used it in several formulas over the years as part of the lymphatic drainage and detoxification .
So if you don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ look at other detoxification botanicals that you can work with .

Phyllanthus niruri, which is chanca piedra, can interfere with the multiple signaling pathways involved in tumorigenesis and be used as a potential therapeutic candidate for treatment of cancer. So there’s many plants in the Amazon. These I think are right now in my opinion the top ones to be using in conjunction with cannabis.
And then graviola. The antiangiogenesis is really, I think, the main thing for graviola. I mean, it’s full of these acetogens. We use the leaf of the plant. It produces a fruit. I have 2,000 of these growing on my plantation in the jungle in Peru. It produces this big fruit. That fruit, you can use for ice cream. You use it for ice cream in Peru.

And they will start shutting down the vascularity and the nutrient supply to that tumor, so it really compromises that tumor. Oftentimes, that tumor will respond with a little inflammatory indicator. So if you’ve got your immune system up on guard, then it knows what to do.
Camu camu is a favorite of mine. I’ve got 28,000 camu camu trees growing in the flood plain of the rainforest. The great thing about camu camu is it grows in the flood plain. So what does that mean?

They love those rains. They would just thrive in the environment. What’s really cool about that is that all these 100,000 species of plants in the Amazon that are contributing. Their leaves fall onto the floor. Their plants fall over. The limbs fall off. And all of that falls onto the floor, that rich biomass of the Amazon Rainforest. And when the rains come, it picks all of that up from the entire Amazon Rainforest and moves it around the flood plain, and it comes directly to these camu camu trees. So you think about the density of nutrition and concentration of molecules that they have to choose from for their life purpose. They can draw out of the soil and integrate into their life being.
Lastly, you want to make sure you’re detoxifying. Because if you’re doing all of these things, and you’re getting the kind of result that you want to be getting, you’ll end up with a lot of cellular debris that you want to move through the lymphatic system and detoxify.

Advanced Cannabis with Amazon John

Now , I want to talk to you about plant medicine .
Why ?
Well , because that ’ s my passion .
That ’ s what I know the most about .
Cannabis , I ’ ve talked a lot about cannabis .
At this conference here so many people have come up to me already so interested in cannabis , as am I .
So we ’ ll dive into that .
So why cannabis ?
Why now ?
People ask me , “ Cannabis ?
Is that a new drug ?
” Well , it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not a drug either .
We ’ ve had a relationship with cannabis for thousands of years .
We ’ ve had a documented medicinal relationship with cannabis for 3,000 years , goes back into the Chinese materia medica and the Iranian materia medica , a documented history of use with cannabis .
So as humans , our natural relationship with cannabis has been ongoing for thousands of years .
Yes , it ’ s been interrupted the last 70 years .
Okay ?
But now we ’ re reestablishing our relationship with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relationship with cannabis is not something new .
This is something that we ’ ve had for 3,000 years that was just interrupted in the last 70 years .
So I ’ m really pleased to see that happening .
So this relationship with cannabis is beginning to show some quite extraordinary value .
I mean , I ’ ve been doing plant medicine for 34 years .
And this is one species of plant out of hundreds of thousands that is really just moving like a tsunami across the world and with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , what does it do ?
It ’ s all about maintaining a balance and a harmony in the body .
So there ’ s signaling pathways that go to every major system , every major organ .
Which if you can connect the proper cannabinoids there , then you can develop proper body responses to different challenges that are coming in , which is why normally in a plant kingdom what I ’ ve seen is this group of plants here is for balancing blood sugar , this for immune system , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , this is for energy .
So you can just see the hormonal balancing plants .
But cannabis is different because endocannabinoid system that once you introduce the cannabis there , you ’ re seeing all kinds of things happen , Alzheimer ’ s , with MS , with epilepsy , with seizures , with Parkinson ’ s , with cancer .
So it affects all of these systems , every system , physiological and therapeutic .
Here ’ s a little study , the endocannabinoid system controls the growth and metastases of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So with the cannabinoids , most people know THC .
Most people know CBD .
Many people are learning about CBC , CBG , CBN .
There ’ s 140 known cannabinoids .
Did you know that ?
140 .
Most the attentions on THC and CBD , but there ’ s 140 .
And then each of these pretty much has an acidic form as well .
So you have a THC and you ’ ve got THCA .
Now , THC is known as the psychoactive component in cannabis .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it ’ s not psychoactive ?
The plant grows , it ’ s producing all of its cannabinoids in an acidic form , THCA , CBDA , CBCA , et cetera .
So it ’ s only once it ’ s heated or decarboxylated , they call it , where you break a little carbon bind when it ’ s heated , that it becomes psychoactive .
So if you smoke it , you ’ re heating it .
If you cook it in a brownie , you ’ re heating it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in an extract and using heat , then you ’ re converting the THCA to THC .
We used to call that activating it because it seemed like , well , that ’ s where the active component is once you heat these cannabinoids .
Now we know that the acidic form of the cannabinoids are extraordinarily therapeutic as well .
So when you ’ re looking at plant and plant products with the cannabis , just know that it ’ s a lot more than CBD and THC .
So hopefully when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or you ’ re getting your product , you ’ ll be able to at least have the eight or ten major cannabinoids there because they all have therapeutic benefit .
The way they modulate with each other , this entourage effect , is what determines the real outcome .
Then I talked about the terpene component as well .
A terpene is essentially an essential oil , so it ’ s what ’ s going to give it the flavor or the taste .
As many of you know , cannabis comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You have some that ’ s kind of citrusy , some that ’ s kind of lavendary when you ’ re smelling it , some of it smells kind of skunky , some smells like diesel fuel .
These are the terpenes that you ’ re smelling .
Right ?
Like the terpene in a flower , that ’ s the terpenes where you ’ re getting the smell .
Cannabis produces terpenes for its own life purpose .
It produces terpenes to create these smells one , to attract pollinators and to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on where the plant grows , it ’ s normally how those terpenes express themselves .
So when you ’ re growing in Afghanistan or in India where it looks like cannabis originated , and everywhere mankind moved he took seeds with him because it ’ s so important for food , for shelter , for medicine , that when you ’ re growing it in Columbia or Thailand , you have different environmental conditions .
Over several generations , the plant will adjust to that and produce different terpene profiles because the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so you get different terpene profiles coming from different plants .
And so the cannabinoid and terpene benefits that would associate to the topic that we ’ re talking about here is , one , pain relief , pretty much across the board .
And we got plenty of studies that show that it actually slows and can stop the migration of cancer cells , you know , the metastases , and it creates an apoptosis .
This is something a lot of people don ’ t realize , which is encouraging a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kill cancer cells .
At the same time , it protects the healthy cells , so that ’ s not normally what happens when you ’ re killing cancer cells .
Normally , it ’ s some very toxic things that are doing that .
So what we ’ re learning is there ’ s a different way to go here , so there ’ s massive amounts of research beginning in this arena to help identify the profile of cannabinoids and the chemovars and/or the combination of chemovars that are going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ want these terpenes— The terpenes , the essential oils by themselves have a therapeutic value .
So you ’ ve got pinene , myrcene , lemonene , bisobolol , linalool , all of these specific terpenes , or essential oils , have therapeutic benefits on their own .
And the entourage effect just means when you ’ re using the full-plant extract where all of these terpenes and naturally occurring cannabinoids are modulating naturally that ’ s when you ’ re going to get the best benefit .
There ’ s already studies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re getting a better effect with the entourage effect of a full-plant extract over an isolate of THC or an isolate of CBD or an isolate of any of the other cannabinoids .
So this is a fascinating area .

So you can just see the hormonal balancing plants. But cannabis is different because endocannabinoid system that once you introduce the cannabis there, you’re seeing all kinds of things happen, Alzheimer’s, with MS, with epilepsy, with seizures, with Parkinson’s, with cancer. So it affects all of these systems, every system, physiological and therapeutic. Here’s a little study, the endocannabinoid system controls the growth and metastases of malignant cells. How about that?
So with the cannabinoids, most people know THC. Most people know CBD. Many people are learning about CBC, CBG, CBN. There’s 140 known cannabinoids. Did you know that? 140.

These are the terpenes that you’re smelling. Right? Like the terpene in a flower, that’s the terpenes where you’re getting the smell. Cannabis produces terpenes for its own life purpose. It produces terpenes to create these smells one, to attract pollinators and to defend itself from predators.
So depending on where the plant grows, it’s normally how those terpenes express themselves. So when you’re growing in Afghanistan or in India where it looks like cannabis originated, and everywhere mankind moved he took seeds with him because it’s so important for food, for shelter, for medicine, that when you’re growing it in Columbia or Thailand, you have different environmental conditions.

At the same time, it protects the healthy cells, so that’s not normally what happens when you’re killing cancer cells. Normally, it’s some very toxic things that are doing that. So what we’re learning is there’s a different way to go here, so there’s massive amounts of research beginning in this arena to help identify the profile of cannabinoids and the chemovars and/or the combination of chemovars that are going to give us our best results because you want these terpenes—
The terpenes, the essential oils by themselves have a therapeutic value. So you’ve got pinene, myrcene, lemonene, bisobolol, linalool, all of these specific terpenes, or essential oils, have therapeutic benefits on their own. And the entourage effect just means when you’re using the full-plant extract where all of these terpenes and naturally occurring cannabinoids are modulating naturally that’s when you’re going to get the best benefit. There’s already studies that are demonstrating that. So you’re getting a better effect with the entourage effect of a full-plant extract over an isolate of THC or an isolate of CBD or an isolate of any of the other cannabinoids. So this is a fascinating area.

COVID Criminals in Music City

Nashville officials buried numbers showing very low infections in order to gaslight the public over need to keep bars and restaurants shut down ( Natural News ) Today we are calling for the arrest and prosecution of top government officials in Nashville , TN , who have now been caught red-handed covering up the very low numbers of infections at restaurants and bars in order to gaslight the public and justify draconian business closures and lockdowns .
A bombshell investigation by Fox 17 , WZTV in Nashville , has uncovered once-secret emails that reveal a shocking conspiracy to deliberately deceive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that would have shown that bars and restaurants are not spreading infections .
While nursing homes and construction sites were found to have produced over 1,000 cases of coronavirus infections ( each ) , bars and restaurants reported only 22 cases , reports Fox 17 .
From there , the cover-up begins .
As Fox 17 reports : Leslie Waller from the health department asks , “ This isn ’ t going to be publicly released , right ?
Just info for Mayor ’ s Office ?
” A month later , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rumor there are only 80 cases traced to bars and restaurants .
Tennessee Lookout reporter Nate Rau asks , “ The figure you gave of ‘ more than 80 ’ does lead to a natural question : If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars , doesn ’ t that mean restaurants and bars aren ’ t a very big problem ?
” Health department official Brian Todd asked five health department officials , “ Please advise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ name at the top of the response is clipped off but you may find the answer unacceptable .
“ My two cents .
We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site .
We could still release the total though , and then a response to the over 80 could be because that number is increasing all the time and we don ’ t want to say a specific number.
” Neither the health department nor the mayor ’ s office would confirm the authenticity of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Metro staff attorney inquire .
Here ’ s the official answer : “ I was able to get verification from the Mayor ’ s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real , ” the staff attorney answered .
Glover says this is Metro Nashville orchestrating a cover up .
“ They are fabricating information , ” Glover said .

Nashville officials buried numbers showing very low infections in order to gaslight the public over need to keep bars and restaurants shut down
(Natural News) Today we are calling for the arrest and prosecution of top government officials in Nashville, TN, who have now been caught red-handed covering up the very low numbers of infections at restaurants and bars in order to gaslight the public and justify draconian business closures and lockdowns.
A bombshell investigation by Fox 17, WZTV in Nashville, has uncovered once-secret emails that reveal a shocking conspiracy to deliberately deceive the public by withholding covid-19 infections statistics that would have shown that bars and restaurants are not spreading infections.
While nursing homes and construction sites were found to have produced over 1,000 cases of coronavirus infections (each), bars and restaurants reported only 22 cases, reports Fox 17. From there, the cover-up begins. As Fox 17 reports:
Leslie Waller from the health department asks, “This isn’t going to be publicly released, right? Just info for Mayor’s Office?”
“Correct, not for public consumption,” writes senior advisor Benjamin Eagles.
A month later, the health department was asked point blank about the rumor there are only 80 cases traced to bars and restaurants.
Tennessee Lookout reporter Nate Rau asks, “The figure you gave of ‘more than 80’ does lead to a natural question: If there have been over 20,000 positive cases of COVID-19 in Davidson and only 80 or so are traced to restaurants and bars, doesn’t that mean restaurants and bars aren’t a very big problem?”
Health department official Brian Todd asked five health department officials, “Please advise how you recommend I respond.”
The name at the top of the response is clipped off but you may find the answer unacceptable.
“My two cents. We have certainly refused to give counts per bar because those numbers are low per site.
We could still release the total though, and then a response to the over 80 could be because that number is increasing all the time and we don’t want to say a specific number.”
Neither the health department nor the mayor’s office would confirm the authenticity of the emails but councilmember Steve Glover had a Metro staff attorney inquire. Here’s the official answer:
“I was able to get verification from the Mayor’s Office and the Department of Health that these emails are real,” the staff attorney answered.
Glover says this is Metro Nashville orchestrating a cover up.
“They are fabricating information,” Glover said. “They’ve blown there entire credibility Dennis. Its gone, I don’t trust a thing they say going forward …nothing.”
They were “managing” the propaganda to deliberately mislead the public
What these emails show is that Nashville officials — almost all Democrats, of course — were carrying out acts of criminal fraud against the people of Tennessee. They were deliberately engineering or shaping the propaganda in order to mislead the public and try to justify lockdowns and closures that could not normally be justified if they had reported the real numbers.
Brian Todd, one of the officials involved, reportedly asked five other government officials how he should “respond” to questions about the data, implying that he couldn’t simply tell the truth and wanted to know how to shape the response to mislead the public.
It’s clear that the Nashville Mayor’s office would only share “bad” information with the public, while covering up “good” numbers that might justify reopening local businesses.
This is the weaponization of government against the people, isn’t it? Instead of local government working to help local citizens overcome the economic devastation of lockdowns and closures, these government officials were acting as enemies of the local people. As if they were waging a war against them!
As Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, “The Dem Mayor of Nashville KNOWINGLY LIED ABOUT COVID DATA to justify shutting down bars & restaurants, killing countless jobs & small businesses in the process. Everyone involved should face jail time. How many other Dem run cities is this happening in?”

We are calling for the arrest and prosecution of every Nashville officials involved in this criminal fraud
This story shows that Nashville officials recognized the “numbers were low” for bars and restaurants and therefore decided to withhold those numbers from the public.
This is criminal.
In a time when small businesses are being devastated by lockdowns that lead to bankruptcies, with jobs and livelihoods on the line, these Nashville government officials — who all hold cozy jobs as government workers — took actions that deliberately destroyed private sector businesses, almost like an act of BLM terrorism.
Black Lives Matter burns your business down, but Nashville officials destroy your entire revenue model, making them worse than terrorists.
Anyone who has ever wondered whether government was your enemy, look no further than Nashville.
It’s time that We the People started arresting these government criminals and tyrants who are abusing their power, lying to America and destroying local economies just so they can use the coronavirus pandemic to roll out their authoritarian schemes.
Arrest the covid criminals in Nashville, starting with Mayor John Cooper.

What is Chocolate? It All Starts with the Cacao
Chocolate as we know it today comes from the plant called cacao, which grows in low-hanging pods on in tropical regions of the world. Ancient peoples knew about cacao’s intense stamina-enhancing properties; the beans in raw form and in other ways have been eaten for hundreds, if not thousands, of years by cultures where cacao trees grow.
It has only been over the last approximately fifteen years, however, that modern science has caught on to the immense healing benefits that cacao can bring to the table, or the foil wrapper, as the case may be.
Cacao and The Kunas
In the early 2000s, Harvard Medical School researchers began to investigate the benefits of cacao by looking at one of the oldest cultures still in existence.
The Kunas have lived for generations on Caribbean islands off the coast of Panama. Interestingly, they also have some of the lowest rates of heart disease rates globally. Researchers at Harvard University who studied them back in 2005 thought this was odd since they were (and still are) very poor. The majority of Kuna individuals do not have access to conventional medical services such as hospitals, clinics or individual doctors. What the researchers did find, however, is that the diet of a typical Kuna person included, on average, about 4 to 5 cups of a liquid cacao drink, similar to a healthy version of our “hot chocolate,” every day.
5 Reasons to Indulge (Just a Little) In That Chocolate Craving
Before I go deeper into what science has discovered about the health benefits of cacao and how it may potentially help you in specific ways, I want to be clear. I am not suggesting that you should go out and eat all the store-bought chocolate pieces, brownies, and candy bars you want!
In the last section, I will present some recommendations regarding how much of a “good thing” is healthy, and in what form. Just like with most things in life, a little goes a long way when it comes to chocolate.
#1. Chocolate is a Powerful Antioxidant
It may come as a shock to you that such a yummy “treat food” can actually help you lower oxidative stress, but it is true. Chocolate contains some of the same flavonoids that are also found in red wine and berries. These include polyphenols such as procynanidins and epicatechins, powerful antioxidants designed to attack free radicals that can lead to DNA damage.
#2. Chocolate is Heart Healthy and Can Balance Metabolism
There are several studies out there which directly link dark chocolate to cardiovascular health, a decrease in LDL levels (i.e. the bad kind of cholesterol) and lower blood pressure in general. A 2017 Chinese study found that 2 – 6 servings of chocolate a week was “associated with decreased risks of CHD, stroke, and diabetes.”
#3. Chocolate can Boost Immune Function
Cacao helps the immune system in a variety of ways, including through the introduction of essential fatty acids, encouraging an upregulation of healthy gut bacteria, the presence of flavonoids and so much more. Specifically, however, researchers have discovered that certain phytonutrients present in cacao such as theobromine can affect immune system cells directly and may even help to calm autoimmune reactions.
#4. Chocolate Helps the Brain and Mood
Cacao contains some interesting substances that are found in only a few plants in nature. One such substance is called anandamide. Anandamide is a type of fatty acid and also a neurotransmitter. It is sometimes called the “bliss molecule” because of its ability to elevate mood. In addition, anandamide supports the endocannabinoid system and is found in cannabis as well, according to a 2018 study at the Universidad Católica de Cuyo in Argentina, amongst others.
Finally, a 2015 study conducted by the Mayo Clinic found that consumption of cacao daily was linked to improvements in “mild cognitive impairment” amongst older adults. In part, this may be because the phytonutrients within cacao help to increase blood flow to the brain.
#5. Chocolate May be Cancer-Preventative
With all the above going on, it is no wonder that dark chocolate is also considered to be cancer-preventative when consumed in moderate amounts. Indeed, there is ample scientific evidence to support this connection.
Several studies have made the link between high levels of antioxidants in cacao and cancer cell growth inhibition. Specific kinds of cancer that have been verified by evidence-based studies include cervical, lung, breast and colon cancer, as well as leukemia.

thetruthaboutcancer--2020-09-22--7 Medicinal Mushrooms That Fight Cancer

7 Medicinal Mushrooms That Fight Cancer

Having secured a rich history in many ancient Asian healing practices , medicinal mushrooms have been prescribed and used for countless ailments for thousands of years .
As modern medicine rediscovers these ancient superfoods , there is good evidence that mushrooms are among the most powerful functional food in a growing cancer-fighting and cancer-prevention arsenal .
Modern research confirms what many traditional healers have known for centuries – that mushrooms contain some of the most potent , yet safest medicinal ingredients found in nature .
What ’ s more , most of these ingredients cause very few side effects – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high doses .
It is first important to differentiate between the anti-cancer medicinal mushrooms and the countless other common varieties .
A quick visit to the local supermarket will reveal culinary mushrooms such as oyster , portabella , and others .
Although these have their health benefits , the focus of this article will be on four of the more specialized and not typically commercially grown reishi , maitake , agaricus blazei murill , and turkey tail mushrooms .
It ’ s clear now that mushrooms are legitimate treatments in their own right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Alzheimer ’ s disease , and cancer .
There are a few primary mechanisms that most of these functional , anti-cancer mushrooms share when assisting the body during cancer stages or in simple everyday prevention .
First is their ability to enhance the body ’ s first line of defense against cancer − the immune system .
When this system is weak or has failed , the mechanism for cancer has a better opportunity to manifest .
Next , some anti-cancer mushrooms exhibit direct antiviral and tumor shrinking abilities .
As mentioned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mild but it is still important to talk with your healthcare provider before use .
It has been demonstrated that , in some cases , formulas containing multiple strains of different mushroom extracts often exhibit synergistic , complementary , and amplified effects .
This is in stark contrast to many of the negative cumulative effects of chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy methods commonly prescribed in hospitals today .
As with research for many alternative treatments , the United States has been late to the party when it comes to medical research on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Used for over 2000 years by sages and shamans and known in China as the “ spirit plant ” – also known as Mannentake , Ling Zhi or Ling Chi – Reishi relaxes and fortifies both mind and body .
This fungus holds a very important place in the traditional medical systems of China , Japan , and Korea .
Ganoderma lucidum , or better known by its common name , reishi , it is one of the most well-known medicinal mushroom in Asian healing arts .
The mushroom ’ s bioactive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ better activate natural killer ( NK ) cells reducing cancer metastasis .
NK cells are lymphocytes that perform immunosurveillance within the body , constantly on the lookout for “ immuno-alerters ” signaling tumor presence .
Reishi also has been shown to assist in slowing the growth ( angiogenesis ) of tumors as well as triggering programmed cell death in malignant cells .
Currently , there is data to support the potential use of reishi as , at the very least , an adjunct therapy for colorectal cancer , lung cancer , prostate cancer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shown that Reishi helps to : • Counter free radicals and fight inflammation .
Reishi has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties .
In fact , Reishi compares very favorably to the synthetic anti-inflammatory drug prednisone , without the side effects .
Also , Reishi may be able to counter our susceptibility to many aging-associated diseases , thanks to its powerful ability to fight free radicals and reduce cellular damage associated with oxidative stress .
• Enhance immune system activity .
Reishi enhances multiple aspects of the immune system in advanced stage cancer patients @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancer .
Reishi ingredients are toxic to multiple cancer cell lines in culture – including leukemia , breast , ovarian , cervical , and lung cancer cells , among others .
Evidence suggests Ganoderic acid is a potential anti-metastatic agent .
Metastasis is the migration of cancer cells from their place of origin to other areas of the body .
Maitake , like the reishi mushroom , also contains a broad-spectrum array of bioactive molecules .
In studies , maitake has shown similar results as the reishi mushroom in stimulating NK cell activity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shows promise in blocking tumor growth and activating malignant cell death through its specific immune-enhancing methods .
Maitake has clinically shown promise for individuals with breast cancer , lung cancer , and myelodysplastic syndromes ( MDS ) .
This mushroom made perhaps the biggest splash when a study jointly conducted by the Medical Department of Tokyo University , The National Cancer Center Laboratory , and Tokyo College of Pharmacy showed a complete recovery in 90 % of guinea pigs injected with cancer cells ( 180 sarcoma ) .
The pattern of other mushrooms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ activated macrophage and interferon immune activity leading to tumor shrinkage , a halt in metastasis , and reduction of future cancer occurrences .
As an adjunct , agaricus blazei murill was shown to lessen the side effects in individuals undergoing chemotherapy for endometrial , cervical , and ovarian cancers .
In 1976 , a Japanese company patented certain extracts of this mushroom under the name PSK and later PSP .
They have since become recognized cancer drugs in Japan .
The anti-viral properties of the turkey tail mushroom offer a unique opportunity to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as hepatitis C leading to liver cancers , and others .
For this mushroom , again studies are showing increased NK activity towards tumor detection and eradication .
It is important to note that drug companies can not patent mushrooms .
Due to this fact , funds typically won ’ t be allocated to study them unless they come from private institutions or government grants .
However , this should be a positive as many studies only seek to isolate one part of a plant or mushroom to patent as a drug .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ known as the Caterpillar Fungus and Dong Ching Xia Cao ( Summer grass , winter worm ) , Cordyceps has long been a part of traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine .
An extremely rare combination of a mummified caterpillar and a fungus , it is found at very high altitudes in the Himalayas , on the Tibetan plateau , and other high-altitude locations around the world .
Cordyceps – both the mummified caterpillar and the fungus – contain many potent bioactive compounds , including cordyceptin , cordycepic acid , polysaccharides , and sterols @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to : • Manage blood sugar levels in a healthy range .
Emerging evidence indicates that the Cordyceps is likely to prove to useful in the management of diabetes .
• Improve transplant success rates .
Cordyceps protects the heart and lowered the rate of cardiac rejection in an animal model of heart transplantation .
When given after kidney transplants , Cordyceps also reduced the rejection rate , improved kidney and liver function , boosted red blood cell production , and lowered infection rates in patients .
• Strengthen the immune system .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ components of the immune system in animal experiments .
• Enhance antioxidant ability .
Cordyceps raised levels and activity of innate enzymatic antioxidant systems in animal models .
• Boost libido .
Cordyceps boosts libido and sexual activity , along with restoring impaired reproductive function in animals as well as humans .
• Improve exercise performance .
Cordyceps made international headlines by helping Chinese runners break two world records by huge margins at the Asian Games in 1993 .
Cordyceps likely improves stamina because it stimulates production of ATP , one of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s cells .
Cordyceps has also been shown to dilate the aorta – the main artery in the body that supplies oxygenated blood to the entire circulatory system – by 40 % , greatly increasing blood flow and enhancing endurance .
• Fight cancer .
In laboratory experiments , Cordyceps was selectively toxic for cancer cells , without affecting normal , healthy cells .
Bioactive ingredients in Cordyceps including cordyceptin attack and destroy mouth , bladder , prostate , breast , liver , lung , cervical , leukemia , and colorectal cancers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and neuroblastoma in culture .
Chaga mushrooms are fungi that grow on the bark of various trees , such as birch .
These mushrooms thrive in moderate climates and are often found in countries like Russia , Canada , Siberia , the northeastern USA , and Korea .
Long used in folk medicine , Chaga contains massive amounts of the pigment melanin , which causes the exterior of the mushroom to turn a deep black when exposed to the sun .
In test tube studies , chaga extract has been shown to suppress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , lung , colon , prostate , and breast .
In a study published in the journal of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy , researchers observed that obese and diabetic mice treated with chaga extract exhibited reduced insulin resistance as well as lower blood sugar levels .
Chaga is known by many names around the world .
Most interestingly , it is called ‘ kreftkjuke ’ in Norway , which literally translates to “ cancer fungus ” due to its purported health properties .
Learn more about chaga here .
Also known as “ dongu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be found growing wild in the forests of several East Asian countries .
The word “ shiitake ” is actually derived from the Japanese words “ shii ” ( type of tree where these mushrooms grow ) and “ také ” ( meaning ‘ mushroom ’ ) .
In other words , the name literally means “ mushrooms of the shii tree.
” Some of the medicinal properties of shiitake mushroom are attributed to a potent anti-fungal sugar molecule named “ lentinan.

Having secured a rich history in many ancient Asian healing practices, medicinal mushrooms have been prescribed and used for countless ailments for thousands of years. As modern medicine rediscovers these ancient superfoods, there is good evidence that mushrooms are among the most powerful functional foods in a growing cancer-fighting and cancer-prevention arsenal.
Modern research confirms what many traditional healers have known for centuries – that mushrooms contain some of the most potent, yet safest medicinal ingredients found in nature. What’s more, most of these ingredients cause very few side effects – if at all – even at very high doses.
It is first important to differentiate between the anti-cancer medicinal mushrooms and the countless other common varieties. A quick visit to the local supermarket will reveal culinary mushrooms such as oyster, portabella, and others. Although these have their health benefits, the focus of this article will be on four of the more specialized and not typically commercially grown reishi, maitake, agaricus blazei murill, and turkey tail mushrooms.
It’s clear now that mushrooms are legitimate treatments in their own right for many health conditions, including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer.
Medicinal Mushrooms and Cancer
There are a few primary mechanisms that most of these functional, anti-cancer mushrooms share when assisting the body during cancer stages or in simple everyday prevention. First is their ability to enhance the body’s first line of defense against cancer − the immune system. When this system is weak or has failed, the mechanism for cancer has a better opportunity to manifest.
Next, some anti-cancer mushrooms exhibit direct antiviral and tumor shrinking abilities. As mentioned above, side effects are rare and mild but it is still important to talk with your healthcare provider before use.
It has been demonstrated that, in some cases, formulas containing multiple strains of different mushroom extracts often exhibit synergistic, complementary, and amplified effects. This is in stark contrast to many of the negative cumulative effects of chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy methods commonly prescribed in hospitals today. As with research for many alternative treatments, the United States has been late to the party when it comes to medical research on the anti-cancer and overall health benefits of mushrooms.
#1. Reishi Mushroom Benefits: The Mushroom of Immortality
Used for over 2000 years by sages and shamans and known in China as the “spirit plant” – also known as Mannentake, Ling Zhi or Ling Chi – Reishi relaxes and fortifies both mind and body. This fungus holds a very important place in the traditional medical systems of China, Japan, and Korea.
Ganoderma lucidum, or better known by its common name, reishi, it is one of the most well-known medicinal mushroom in Asian healing arts. The mushroom’s bioactive molecules and polysaccharides have been shown to better activate natural killer (NK) cells reducing cancer metastasis. NK cells are lymphocytes that perform immunosurveillance within the body, constantly on the lookout for “immuno-alerters” signaling tumor presence.
Reishi also has been shown to assist in slowing the growth (angiogenesis) of tumors as well as triggering programmed cell death in malignant cells. Currently, there is data to support the potential use of reishi as, at the very least, an adjunct therapy for colorectal cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer.
Studies have shown that Reishi helps to:
Counter free radicals and fight inflammation. Reishi has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In fact, Reishi compares very favorably to the synthetic anti-inflammatory drug prednisone, without the side effects. Also, Reishi may be able to counter our susceptibility to many aging-associated diseases, thanks to its powerful ability to fight free radicals and reduce cellular damage associated with oxidative stress.

Enhance immune system activity. Reishi enhances multiple aspects of the immune system in advanced stage cancer patients and lung cancer patients.
Reishi enhances multiple aspects of the immune system in advanced stage cancer patients and lung cancer patients. Fight cancer. Reishi ingredients are toxic to multiple cancer cell lines in culture – including leukemia, breast, ovarian, cervical, and lung cancer cells, among others. Evidence suggests Ganoderic acid is a potential anti-metastatic agent. Metastasis is the migration of cancer cells from their place of origin to other areas of the body.
#2. Maitake Mushroom Benefits: The Dancing Mushroom
Maitake, like the reishi mushroom, also contains a broad-spectrum array of bioactive molecules. In studies, maitake has shown similar results as the reishi mushroom in stimulating NK cell activity in cancer patients. The mushroom also shows promise in blocking tumor growth and activating malignant cell death through its specific immune-enhancing methods. Maitake has clinically shown promise for individuals with breast cancer, lung cancer, and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
#3. Agaricus Blazei Murill: Tokyo’s Cancer Secret
This mushroom made perhaps the biggest splash when a study jointly conducted by the Medical Department of Tokyo University, The National Cancer Center Laboratory, and Tokyo College of Pharmacy showed a complete recovery in 90% of guinea pigs injected with cancer cells (180 sarcoma).
The pattern of other mushrooms was seen again as agaricus blazei murill activated macrophage and interferon immune activity leading to tumor shrinkage, a halt in metastasis, and reduction of future cancer occurrences. As an adjunct, agaricus blazei murill was shown to lessen the side effects in individuals undergoing chemotherapy for endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancers.
#4. Turkey Tail: The Natural Japanese Cancer Drug
In 1976, a Japanese company patented certain extracts of this mushroom under the name PSK and later PSP. They have since become recognized cancer drugs in Japan. The anti-viral properties of the turkey tail mushroom offer a unique opportunity to target oncoviruses (tumor virus) such as hepatitis C leading to liver cancers, and others. For this mushroom, again studies are showing increased NK activity towards tumor detection and eradication.
It is important to note that drug companies cannot patent mushrooms. Due to this fact, funds typically won’t be allocated to study them unless they come from private institutions or government grants. However, this should be a positive as many studies only seek to isolate one part of a plant or mushroom to patent as a drug.
As mycologist (mushroom expert) Paul Stamets states,
Isolating one constituent from the others denatures and lessens the broad-spectrum potency of this natural, functional food.”
#5. Cordyceps: The Caterpillar Fungus
Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis) is also known as the Caterpillar Fungus and Dong Ching Xia Cao (Summer grass, winter worm), Cordyceps has long been a part of traditional Chinese and Tibetan medicine. An extremely rare combination of a mummified caterpillar and a fungus, it is found at very high altitudes in the Himalayas, on the Tibetan plateau, and other high-altitude locations around the world.
Cordyceps – both the mummified caterpillar and the fungus – contain many potent bioactive compounds, including cordyceptin, cordycepic acid, polysaccharides, and sterols.
Studies have shown that Cordyceps helps to:
Manage blood sugar levels in a healthy range. Emerging evidence indicates that the Cordyceps is likely to prove to useful in the management of diabetes.

Cordyceps protects the heart and lowered the rate of cardiac rejection in an animal model of heart transplantation. When given after kidney transplants, Cordyceps also reduced the rejection rate, improved kidney and liver function, boosted red blood cell production, and lowered infection rates in patients.

Cordyceps boosts libido and sexual activity, along with restoring impaired reproductive function in animals as well as humans. Improve exercise performance. Cordyceps made international headlines by helping Chinese runners break two world records by huge margins at the Asian Games in 1993. Cordyceps likely improves stamina because it stimulates production of ATP, one of the main sources of energy in our body’s cells. Cordyceps has also been shown to dilate the aorta – the main artery in the body that supplies oxygenated blood to the entire circulatory system – by 40%, greatly increasing blood flow and enhancing endurance.

Fight cancer. In laboratory experiments, Cordyceps was selectively toxic for cancer cells, without affecting normal, healthy cells. Bioactive ingredients in Cordyceps including cordyceptin attack and destroy mouth, bladder, prostate, breast, liver, lung, cervical, leukemia, and colorectal cancers as well as lymphoma, melanoma, and neuroblastoma in culture.
#6. Chaga: “The Mushroom of Immortality”
Chaga mushrooms are fungi that grow on the bark of various trees, such as birch. These mushrooms thrive in moderate climates and are often found in countries like Russia, Canada, Siberia, the northeastern USA, and Korea. Long used in folk medicine, Chaga contains massive amounts of the pigment melanin, which causes the exterior of the mushroom to turn a deep black when exposed to the sun.
In test tube studies, chaga extract has been shown to suppress the progression of cancer, including liver, lung, colon, prostate, and breast. In a study published in the journal of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, researchers observed that obese and diabetic mice treated with chaga extract exhibited reduced insulin resistance as well as lower blood sugar levels.
Chaga is known by many names around the world. Most interestingly, it is called ‘kreftkjuke’ in Norway, which literally translates to “cancer fungus” due to its purported health properties.

#7. Shiitake: “Miracle Mushroom”
Also known as “dongu” in China, shiitake mushrooms can be found growing wild in the forests of several East Asian countries. The word “shiitake” is actually derived from the Japanese words “shii” (type of tree where these mushrooms grow) and “také” (meaning ‘mushroom’). In other words, the name literally means “mushrooms of the shii tree.”
Some of the medicinal properties of shiitake mushroom are attributed to a potent anti-fungal sugar molecule named “lentinan.” In laboratory tests, lentinan does not kill cancer cells directly, but enhances a number of aspects of the immune system, which may aid in the slowing of tumor growth.
One study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine showed that oral administration of lentinan helped slow the development of small tumors and also helped inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cells. Another study found that the aqueous extracts of shiitake mushrooms contain compounds that are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, protect the liver, and are also a potent antioxidant.
Famous for their meaty texture and earthy, smoky flavor, they’re the second most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms. However, when eaten raw, shiitake mushrooms can cause shiitake dermatitis, a skin eruption that resembles whiplash marks. If you’re planning to use shiitake mushrooms in your meals, be sure to cook them properly.
A final note on mushroom safety: there are many species of mushrooms that are highly poisonous to humans. It is strongly advised that individuals do not wild gather mushrooms for consumption unless you have done extensive research.
