Common Use: Shiitake is used for any and all diseases involving depressed immune function, including cancer, AIDS, environmental allergies, candida infections and frequently recurring colds and flu. It also appears to be beneficial for soothing bronchial inflammations and regulating urinary incontinence, as well as for reducing chronic high cholesterol. Shiitake mycelia is rich in carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals. It contains a polysaccharide-protein complex that studies have shown to accelerate degeneration of tumor cells, promoting recognition of antigens and information transmission to the helper T-cells, and increasing the rate at which cancer cells are engulfed. Shiitake reinforces interleukin-1 production, activating the helper T-cells, promoting the mitosis of B-lymphocytes (and
others) and increasing their proliferation. It increase antibody production, improves health of chronic hepatitis patients, and inhibits the HIV virus thus benefiting AIDS patients. This fungi has been extensively studied in the Orient and elsewhere, and the reported beneficial findings are too detailed and numerous to mention here. For anyone with further interest we recommend reading Medicinal Mushrooms by Christopher Hobbs, subjects include reishi, shiitake, maitake, kombucha, and more.
