Why can edible mushrooms treat diseases? A popular science analysis of the principles behind them
NO.1 Why edible mushrooms can treat many kinds of diseases
Edible mushrooms strengthen the body's constitution and have therapeutic effects of supporting healthy qi and consolidating the foundation, and supporting healthy qi to dispel pathogenic factors, so they have direct or indirect effects on many diseases related to the strength of disease resistance. They have direct therapeutic effects on neurasthenia, asthma, gastrointestinal ulcers, hepatitis, various types of vertigo, coronary heart disease, diabetes, rheumatism, and many middle-aged and elderly diseases, and have good auxiliary therapeutic effects on tumors, renal failure, hepatitis B, and others. Combined with various medications, they can accelerate recovery from various diseases, reduce the side effects of medications, and reduce the dosage of antibiotics and other drugs. In traditional Chinese medicine, this effect of edible mushrooms on the body is called supporting healthy qi and consolidating the foundation.
NO.2 Chronic diseases
Chronic diseases are diseases of a gradual nature with relatively mild symptoms. Chronic diseases are caused by degenerative changes in certain tissues and organs or by viral infection. Chronic diseases can reduce a person's ability to work and deprive them of the joy of life. Chronic diseases are dangerous when acute diseases occur at the same time, and patients cannot tolerate surgical harm or drug reactions during the treatment of acute diseases. The saying "every medicine is three parts poison" expresses this idea. More than half of the people in our country suffer from various types of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, frequent colds, neurasthenia, arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, habitual constipation, low white blood cells or platelets, chronic gastritis, obesity, high blood lipids, high blood viscosity, vascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease, chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, and others. These chronic diseases seriously endanger human health. Conventional drug treatment for chronic diseases has very limited effectiveness. Apart from a few drugs such as antibiotics, Western medicines mostly only treat symptoms. Most Western medicines treat the symptoms first. In reality, drugs only suppress symptoms of diseases, while the diseases themselves are mostly eliminated after the symptoms disappear by relying on the body's own recovery capacity. Apart from antibiotics, diseases directly cured by Western medicines account for less than 8% of all diseases. Treating chronic diseases often requires long-term medication. Western medicine treatment of chronic diseases can often cause serious side effects.
NO.3 The mechanism by which edible mushrooms treat chronic diseases
For many chronic diseases, if you go to the hospital you will certainly be given medication, but you can also get through them without seeking treatment. Over the long term, there is no essential difference between treating and not treating the disease, and the misdiagnosis rate is now quite high, so the best treatment method is still to rely on improving one's own disease resistance and recovery capacity to achieve health. Abroad, the use of biological repair agents is now advocated, which in traditional Chinese medicine is called the method of supporting healthy qi and consolidating the foundation, and supporting healthy qi to dispel pathogenic factors, for treating chronic diseases. Edible mushrooms have very good effects in treating chronic diseases. The root cause of all diseases, whether direct or indirect, is tissue lesions and cell lesions. The fungal polysaccharide components of edible mushrooms have the effects of repairing cell damage, increasing cell receptor sensitivity, restoring endocrine function, improving blood microcirculation, and enhancing the body's own recovery capacity.
NO.4 Edible mushrooms can promote the body's own recovery
The triterpenoid components contained in edible mushrooms have effects such as calming the nerves, relieving spasms, lowering blood viscosity, and improving liver function. Nucleoside compounds, ganoderma alkaloids, and maitake polysaccharides have the effect of enhancing the physiological functions of tissues. When the various components of edible mushrooms are applied in organic combination, they can exert a comprehensive regulating effect on the body and promote the body's own recovery. The polysaccharides and other components contained in edible mushrooms are biological response repair agents, and are health products that support healthy qi and consolidate the foundation.
For example: hypertension can be caused by many reasons: such as vascular sclerosis, deposition of blood lipids on blood vessel walls, increased blood viscosity, vascular spasms, low microvessel opening rate, and poor blood flow drainage, all of which can increase blood volume in the vessels and raise blood pressure. Some hypertension is caused by a single cause, and some hypertension is caused by several causes acting simultaneously. Edible mushrooms such as ganoderma have effects such as lowering blood lipids, improving the degree of vascular sclerosis, lowering blood viscosity, calming the nerves, and opening microvessels. They can increase the speed of blood flow in the vessels and reduce blood volume in the vessels to achieve blood pressure reduction, so they can treat hypertension from the root, and therefore the effect is stable and will not produce side effects on the body.
Edible mushrooms treat chronic diseases by starting from eliminating the mechanisms that form the disease, that is, treating the disease first and then the symptoms, so the elimination of symptoms takes effect slowly. This point is very different from Western medicine treatment of diseases. Most Western medicines treat the symptoms first, so they take effect quickly. The treatment course of edible mushrooms is relatively long, but the effect is stable, they will not cause side effects on the human body, and they are also beneficial to overall health, so they can be taken with confidence.
