The healing properties of mushrooms have been known since the 17th century. Mushrooms are widely used in medicine for the treatment of various diseases. Suffice it to recall that the first antibiotic was isolated from the penicillium fungus and named penicillin. Italian scientists have proven that eating mushrooms can lower blood sugar
In the 1960s, some agents found in mushrooms were found to inhibit the growth of malignancy.

So, birch mushroom
chaga, although it does not have a detrimental effect on a cancerous tumor, but taking it improves the well-being of patients, reduces pain. Their bowel function normalizes, appetite appears, sleep improves, and developmental arrest may occur at the initial stage of the disease. Chaga preparations are currently used in the treatment peptic ulcer, gastritis, to normalize bowel activity, calm nervous system, improving performance. Chaga is non-toxic, and there are no contraindications to its use. Since 1976, the medical industry has been producing a preparation from the chaga "Befungin". Extracts from a number of mushrooms have a wide healing range.
For example, in porcini mushroom discovered the alkaloid hercedin used in the treatment of angina pectoris. Aqueous extracts from porcini mushrooms treat ulcers, frostbite.

From rows and talkers isolated antibiotics that suppress the development of tubercle bacillus.
An extract from meadow champignon is used against tuberculosis, typhoid, paratyphoid and for the treatment of purulent wounds. The fruiting body of this fungus contains the antibiotics agaridoxine and agrocybin, and the antibiotic campestrin contained in it is able to delay the development of staphylococcus aureus.
Infusion fly agaric red used for rubbing with neuralgia, arthritis, rheumatism. Inhabitants of the North use fly agarics to treat tuberculosis, eczema, multiple sclerosis, tumors of the glands, diseases of the nervous system, etc. In homeopathy, fly agaric is used in the treatment of x-ray dermatitis, radiation injuries skin and mucous membranes. The antibiotic muscarufin was found in these mushrooms.

The antibiotic laclariovialin, which acts on the causative agent of tuberculosis, was obtained from the gourmet camelina. Medicinal properties raincoats are used for kidney diseases and to stop bleeding.
Pepper is used for kidney stone disease, it also contains a substance that inhibits tubercle bacillus.
In the treatment of certain mental illnesses, as well as to restore memory, psilocin and psilocybin are used. These substances of psychotropic action were obtained from fungi of the psilocybe genus. In the gray dung beetle, a substance was found that causes very discomfort when using these mushrooms with alcohol. This substance is used in the treatment of alcoholism.
Antibacterial properties against staphylococci were found in 24 fungal species. An extract from the summer mushroom retards the growth of many pathogenic bacteria.
Preparations of antitumor, antiviral, immunomodulatory action are obtained from a number of fungi, the fruiting bodies of which are not eaten because of their consistency.

From the extract of pigs, it was possible to obtain a substance that causes the decay of certain types of malignant tumors. From; talkers and rows, antibiotics were obtained (in particular, clitocybin), which suppress the tubercle bacillus.
The champion-antibiotics among mushrooms turned out to be goat and mokruha, which most pickers do not even consider a fungus. The healing properties of milk mushrooms and raincoats are known. Folk healers of Russia treated kidney diseases, purulent wounds and other ailments with these mushrooms. If you accidentally cut your hand in the forest, you can achieve fast healing wounds, attaching to it a cut young raincoat mushroom, called grandfather tobacco.

Special place in medical practice occupied by tinder fungi. Of these, the most famous larch sponge(tank). The latter was highly valued by the ancient Greeks, who took it out of their Black Sea colonies by whole ships. Even in the last century, several thousand poods of larch sponge were annually exported from the port of Arkhangelsk to other countries. Harvested it in Siberia. At the beginning of our century, only in one Nyuso-Uryupinsky forestry in the south of Western Siberia, up to 100 pounds of larch sponge were harvested annually. Local residents collected it for their own purposes. They knew that the sponge could be used instead of soap, as a dye and good medicine, for art crafts, Soup can be made from a young mushroom. From decoctions of a sponge and bedstraw roots, paints of almost any shade could be obtained - from yellow, red to dark brown and black.
V North America larch sponge was used instead of hops in brewing. The main value of the sponge was its medicinal properties. Hemostatic and laxative preparations were prepared from the fungus. Many diseases were treated with decoctions: bruises and asthma, tuberculosis and jaundice, etc. Taiga hunters were well aware of this, since there are no pharmacies and hospitals in the taiga. The natural color of the larch sponge is light gray. Its shape is in the form of a rounded lump, a high hoof or a cylinder with rounded ends. Height up to 60 cm, and weight 10-16 kg. Taste is bitter. Grows up to 80 years. This mushroom contains up to 70% resinous physiologically active substances, for example, agaric acid, which has a beneficial effect in case of debilitating sweating in tuberculosis. V last years the stocks of the sponge are depleted and therefore it should not be plucked from the tree unnecessarily. It is better to cut off a small part and let the rest continue to grow.
Another tinder fungus is chaga, or birch mushroom, - has been studied in more detail and is considered a drug in modern medicine. During growth, many substances accumulate in chaga in the form of a chromogenic complex, which was isolated for the first time in 1864 by Dragendorf, a professor at Dorpat University. It turned out that these substances have a stimulating and tonic effect. In recent years, chaga powder has been used by livestock breeders to improve the growth of piglets and increase the weight of adult animals. In 1962, an article by Dr. A. Furcht appeared in one of the journals about the successful cure of cancer. lower lip decoction of chaga (by the way, according to the chronicle, they also treated a tumor on the lip of Vladimir Monomakh). The article aroused great interest, but all further attempts to use chaga for the treatment of cancer were unsuccessful. Chaga did not save people from cancer. However, it was noted that taking it improves the well-being of patients, reduces pain until it disappears completely. Patients have an appetite, sleep improves, bowel function normalizes. In the future, doctors began to prescribe chaga preparations for peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, gastritis, to regulate the activity of the intestines, calm the nervous system, with insomnia and to increase efficiency. Taiga hunters drink tea from chaga. A remedy for the treatment of polyarthritis in folk medicine is the sarcosome mushroom.

Wide Kombucha is also known, about which for a long time there were legends. there was not enough convincing scientific data about him. Various information was transmitted orally. Some called it tea mushroom, others called it sea mushroom, tea kvass, Manchurian or Japanese mushroom, Japanese uterus, kambuha, fango, Chinese mushroom. Research conducted in Omsk medical institute showed that the body kombucha consists of 2 microorganisms - from yeast fungi and acetic acid bacteria. their action is interconnected. If the yeast fungus ferments sugar with the formation of alcohol and carbon dioxide, then acetic acid bacteria oxidize alcohol and convert it into organic acids. The result is a refreshing flavored drink with a pleasant sour taste, reminiscent of kvass.

Action of Veselka vulgaris
Today, there are many different immunomodulators and immunostimulants that can affect various links immune system, but only the polysaccharides of medicinal mushrooms, especially Veselka vulgaris, can affect antitumor immunity, which is responsible for the destruction of atypical cells. Veselka vulgaris polysaccharides significantly activates T-lymphocytes of the human immune system. As a result, the production of monomeric proteins - perforins, which destroy atypical cells, increases significantly, because the natural formation of perforins decreases in a person after 30-40 years.
In addition, a number of compounds were found in Veselka - phytosteroids, which, being transformed in the body, perform the function of male sex hormones. Unlike medicines for impotence, phytosteroids also nourish the immune system, promote the production of vitamin D. Mushroom volatile phytoncides also turned out to be more active. They kill herpes, influenza, hepatitis and even AIDS viruses.
Veselka Ordinary grows only in wild nature, therefore, it has a particularly strong therapeutic antitumor effect, compared with other higher mushrooms grown artificially.

Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius)
Description
Chanterelle- this is the only mushroom that is never wormy, and all because the spores and pulp of this mushroom contain unique substance- chinomannose, which is not tolerated by helminths of all kinds. Ergosterol, contained in chanterelles, effectively affects liver enzymes, and trametonolinic acid acts on the hepatitis virus. All these three polysaccharides make the chanterelle an invaluable natural healer.
Collection geography
In ecologically clean mountainous places of the North Caucasus!
The first active ingredient in chanterelles is chinomannose. It is a completely natural substance that does not and cannot cause adverse reactions. The action of this substance is fundamentally different from synthetic anthelmintic drugs. Unlike anthelmintic drugs that act only on adult worms, chinomannose perforates, that is, partially dissolves the shells of worm eggs, thereby destroying helminth eggs. Chanterelles are not anthelmintic medicine, do not poison helminths, but expel them, as they cause persistent hostility.
Chinomannose - a thermosensitive substance, does not tolerate heat treatment - is destroyed after heating to 60 degrees. At cold salting sodium salt destroys her. It does not tolerate chinomannose and exposure to various acids, vodka tinctures. People are not recommended to use chanterelles in their raw form. Therefore, dry chanterelles (powder from dry chanterelles) are used for treatment.
Second active substance chanterelles - ergosterol, which effectively affects liver enzymes. Now in the West, pure ergosterol is used in liver cleansing.
And finally, recent studies have shown that the third active substance - trametonolinic acid - successfully affects the hepatitis virus. Due to the content of vitamin A, the quantitative content of which is several times greater than in carrots, and eight amino acids, the chanterelle is valued for its ability to prevent and combat eye inflammation, improve vision, reduce dryness of the mucous membrane of the eyes, increase the body's resistance to infectious and viral diseases.
Indications
- Helminthic diseases, liver cleansing, hepatitis, diseases of the pancreas, liver (liver cirrhosis, fatty degeneration liver, liver hemangioma).
Application methods.
1 tsp chanterelle powder pour 100-150 ml of warm water, leave for 20-30 minutes. and drink 1-2 times a day on an empty stomach half an hour before meals. Stir before use. For helminthic invasions, take for 20 days, for liver cleansing - 15 days, for diseases of the liver and pancreas - 3-4 months.
Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Japanese name: Mannentake English: Reishi; Russian: Polypore lacquered; sacred mushroom.
Description
The mushroom has a dark, reddish-orange lacquered cap. This is the most famous mushroom in Chinese traditional medicine, used in medical practice for 4 thousand years. Reishi is rated "highest" in terms of breadth of action and lack of side effects.
Chemical composition of the drug: steroid compounds, flavonoids, saponins, amino acids, alkaloids, polysaccharides, water-soluble proteins, coumarins, trace elements: Ag, Ca, Fe, K, Na, P, Mn, Zn, Ba. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins B3, B5, C and D.
Reishi - that tree fungus, is called the mushroom of longevity, "imperial mushroom". Its history of use dates back to the second millennium BC.
Collection geography
Finding reishi in the wild is a great success, and all due to the fact that the spores of this fungus are very rough, tough, and cling to any tree bark. They can germinate only at a certain temperature and on a wild plum, and not on every one. The secret of reishi cultivation was only discovered in 1972, when a Japanese farmer succeeded in isolating the mushroom culture and growing the first reishi on a "mushroom farm". Since then, reishi has been cultivated for the production of medicines.
These mushrooms are grown artificially.
Reishi mushroom action
Centuries ago, Aesculapius scientists considered the Reishi mushroom a remedy that could provide eternal youth and longevity. At the same time, it was argued that this is the most valuable remedy for tumors of any kind. Always inconsolable relatives of cancer patients who were given a "death sentence" by doctors were looking for Reishi, since this was the only way of salvation. In Japan and China, Reishi extract is used for almost all diseases. Reishi was a remedy that could provide youth and longevity. Reishi mushroom has several medicinal properties.
First- treat allergic and autoimmune diseases. In the composition of the fungus, the substance "lanostan" was found - this substance inhibits the formation of antibodies. It's interesting that allergic diseases are a contraindication to the use of immunostimulating drugs. But the uniqueness of Reishi lies in the fact that its substances do not have a stimulating, but a regulating effect, increasing suppressed functions and restraining excessively activated indicators. The use of Reishi is ideal for complex health and wellness programs for patients with various allergic and autoimmune diseases.
Second- reishi successfully heals cardiovascular diseases. The results of research in the All-Union Cardiology Center were very significant: 5 hours after taking reishi mushroom preparations, cholesterol levels dropped! In addition, a persistent decrease in pressure occurred after 14 days. This effect has been confirmed in clinical research. Therefore, the use of this drug is directly indicated in the recovery period after a heart attack and stroke. A high level of organic germanium performs the function of hemoglobin - each germanium molecule carries six oxygen molecules.
Third- treatment of any lung diseases. Of course, treatment with Reishi is a long process, but effective and does not cause any side effects.
Fourth- Reishi also treats epilepsy. This rare property of it was noted in the 17th century, when it was these mushrooms that “falling” was cured by the heir to the mikado.
Fifth- general tonic and immunomodulatory effect, increases the body's resistance to various diseases, restores hormonal levels, has a calming effect on the central nervous system, but does not cause drowsiness.
The sixth and most important property- strong antitumor activity. When taking the drug from Reishi, there is a regression of any tumors, both benign and malignant. In this case, Reishi is assigned as one of the components of the course of treatment, the so-called. "mushroom triad". Further study of the Reishi preparation in clinical conditions showed an improvement in the clinical well-being of patients. They are more tolerant of chemotherapy and radiation courses. They do not have a pronounced drop in leukocytes and immunological parameters, therefore, among the many therapeutic methods currently known, antitumor polysaccharides can be considered not just as one of the many components included in the complex of therapeutic measures, but as one of the most powerful physiologically active substances capable of strengthen the mechanism of antitumor resistance of the body. It is noted that after monthly intake Reishi mushrooms usually normalize the immune system. These indicators are kept throughout the year at a fairly high level compared to the initial ones.
seventh- an almost mystical property of the reishi mushroom is its ability to increase the strength of the spirit, increase a positive emotional mood.
eighth- Reishi mushroom is used as aid with diabetes. At long-term use Reishi lowers blood sugar

Mushroom treatment - fungotherapy.
Many mushrooms have valuable nutritional and medicinal properties. In recent decades, mushrooms have become of interest as a source of antibiotics and medicines. The science of treating diseases with fungi is called fungotherapy.
Therefore, many edible and poisonous mushrooms have become the object of research by scientists in search of new antibacterial drugs. A very valuable source of antibiotics are, for example, higher basidiomycetes. It is known that many of them (meadow champignon, hard agrocybe, pink lacquer, common butterdish, purple row, birch tinder fungus, etc.) have antibiotic activity, releasing antibiotics: agrocybin, drosophyllin, nemotin, biformin, polyporin, and many others. etc. Aqueous extracts of the fruiting bodies of many talkers, rows, lacquers have an effect on the wound microflora of patients similar to the identified antibiotics: levomycetin, biomycin, streptomycin.
As a source of medicinal substances, wild-growing edible and poisonous mushrooms are used mainly in folk medicine.
fly agaric
WHITE Mushroom (BOROVIK)
There are also references to the fact that water extracts from the fruiting bodies of porcini mushrooms can be used to treat persistent ulcers and frostbite. Later, the alkaloid herzenin, used in the treatment of angina pectoris, was identified in porcini mushrooms. In general, white fungus improves metabolism. White fungus is used as medicine with tuberculosis, loss of strength, to improve metabolism. There are references to the fact that in the folk medicine of Russia in the 17th century, aqueous extracts obtained from the fruiting bodies of porcini mushrooms were widely used to treat persistent ulcers and frostbite. From ancient, folk medicine, it is known that the systematic consumption of porcini mushrooms prevents the development of certain gastrointestinal diseases. And this assertion is not without foundation. Not so long ago, substances were found in the porcini fungus antibiotic action that suppress some intestinal bacteria pathogenic to humans. Also in folk medicine, there is an opinion that the systematic consumption of porcini mushrooms is prophylactic against cancer.
Tincture of porcini mushrooms (porcini mushrooms).
Take 1 liter. jar, fill it with chopped fresh porcini mushrooms (it is better to take hats), pour vodka, leave for 14 days in a dark place, strain and squeeze out the raw materials. Take 1 tsp. tinctures, diluted in 50 ml. water, 2 times a day for half an hour before meals. This tincture will help with hypertension, angina pectoris, with benign tumors (tincture of porcini mushroom cysts, myoma is especially good). The most valuable thing in porcini mushrooms is the ability to reduce blood viscosity!
OIL CAN elegant contains a resinous substance with medicinal properties. The tincture of this fungus is used for headaches, gout and some other diseases, in a certain concentration it is used for embalming.
tincture from oil.
It is prepared in the same way as the tincture of mushrooms (see above).
This tincture can also be used for pain in the joints for rubbing them at night.
CHAMPIGNON. Extracts from meadow champignon are used in the treatment of purulent wounds, as well as such formidable diseases as typhoid, paratyphoid, and tuberculosis. At present, the antibiotic agaridoxin, which has a pronounced effect on many pathogenic microorganisms, has been obtained from the fruiting bodies of this fungus.
Pepper BUCKLE. Apply when nephrolithiasis and brighter. The antibiotic lactariovialin, which acts on many microorganisms, including the causative agent of tuberculosis, was obtained from the gourmet milk mushroom.
VESELKA common
TINCTURE: 1 method: Usually 4 g of dry veselka is taken per 200 g of vodka. and insist for two weeks in the refrigerator.

Powder can be sprinkled on non-healing wounds.
You can make a face mask from fresh mushrooms.
About the benefits medicines from shiitake, reishi, maitake (meitake), trameta and agaric mushrooms is also evidenced by the fact that they are used by many oncological clinics around the world. Shiitake is an exotic mushroom for Russia, the name of which comes from the name of the shia tree, close to oak and other broad-leaved species, on whose dead wood it grows. It is also known under the names "Japanese mushroom" and "black forest mushroom". Use it fresh in salads or after heat treatment in the first and second courses. Shiitake attracts attention not only for its nutritional properties, but also for its pharmaceutical properties. And there are a lot of them. In accordance with the patents of Japan, France, Germany, Great Britain, the fungus has an antitumor, antiviral effect, that is, it contains biologically active substances that somehow affect such diseases. The antiviral effect of shiitake is explained by the fact that the fungus forms a biologically active substance that promotes the production of interferon (antiviral substance) in the body. healing power Shiitake mushroom has been known for a long time. Back in the 14th century, the Chinese physician Wu Rui claimed that shiitake was good for treating heart disease. In 1988, the healing effect of mushrooms in heart disease was investigated. Of the twenty different mushrooms, the highest level of activity against the formation of cholesterol-containing atheromas (the initial stage atherosclerotic plaques) demonstrated only two mushrooms, one of them shiitake. As you know, high blood pressure (hypertension), high level fat in the blood (hyperlipidemia), diabetes is often accompanied by impotence. Shiitake has been used in Chinese and Japanese folk medicine for the treatment of impotence since ancient times. It was rated as "an aphrodisiac". In Japan, dried shiitake fruit bodies are in great demand. Up to 80% of the produced mushrooms are used in dried form. Shiitake, unlike other cultivated mushrooms, keeps well. Fresh mushrooms at a temperature of 0 - 2 ° C and an air humidity of 85-95% can be stored for 2 - 3 weeks. This mushroom became a sensation, as two discoveries were made at once: the polysaccharide lentinan, isolated for the first time and having a unique antitumor ability that has no analogues in flora, and volatile compounds called mushroom phytoncides, which are able to fight any viruses (from the most harmless rhinoviruses (cold) to AIDS viruses). In addition, shiitake has the ability to remove cholesterol, normalizes blood pressure, suppresses pathogenic flora in the body, treats any inflammatory processes, fights lower fungi, heals erosions and ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract, and restores the blood formula. Shiitake is an excellent immune stimulant and is used as a prophylactic to prevent viral and colds. In diabetics, shiitake lowers blood sugar, and is also indicated for the insulin-dependent form. The fungus is absolutely non-toxic, it is grown according to a special technology from a Japanese pharmaceutical culture on chestnut logs. Shiitake infusion is used on vodka, cognac, Cahors wine, flaxseed and olive oil, as well as in capsules and water-soluble (mushroom tea).
TINCTURE: Usually 5 g of dry shiitake is taken, poured into 150 ml of vodka or oil and infused for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Take, depending on the disease, 1 tsp. or 1 tbsp. 2 - 3 times a day.

chaga Chaga probably occupies the first place among the mushrooms that have already found application in medicine. Back in the 19th century in Russia and Poland, chaga infusions were considered a good folk remedy against cancer. Observations have shown that in those places where the population regularly consumes chaga infusion, gastrointestinal diseases and malignant tumors are quite rare. In Western Siberia, the Khanty use this fungus for the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis, heart, liver, and stomach diseases.
The mushroom attracted the attention of scientists, they found that coloring water-soluble substances have medicinal properties. Preparations derived from chaga. showed positive results in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as peptic ulcer and gastritis, which are often precancerous diseases. It has been established that the infusion of chaga has a general tonic effect on the body, which probably explains the relief of the condition of patients when trying to treat with chaga. running forms cancer. In experiments conducted on animals, it was found that the preparation of chaga promotes the resorption of malignant tumors on the most early stages disease development.
