Did you ever hear of this treatment? | Arthritis Information

Agaricus mushroom is one of 8 powerful ingredients of the Takara Body Detoxification

It is supposed to work on the immune system and even help cure or prolong cancer. There are so many gimmicks out there. Is this just another one?
I have a grandson with a very rare type of terminal cancer, so of course I am looking for "the" miracle solution.
There is lots of info on Google. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm so sorry about you're grandson. Is he getting traditional treatments now? How is he holding up? I haven't heard of this treatment you're talking about, but I don't know much about that kind of stuff. I will be praying for your grandson and your family and the docs too. Hugs to you, N&T

I am so sorry about your grandson, and I don't know anything about the mushrooms. I have to stay away from mushrooms and yeast. I hope he is getting the help he needs. I will pray as well, for you and him. Sorry I don't have info.Thanks for your kind words and prayers. He is on chemo and the miracle is that he still works everyday, but I think it gives him hope. The docs said that because the cancer is so rare that they do not know how to properly treat it or even give a prognosis, although they said that 2 years would be pushing his luck. He did go to the Mayo Clinic in MN and they could not help him either.
This particular mushroom is supposed to help RA too. Wouldn't that be nice!!

That must be a good sign that he feels well enough to work, don't you think?

And yes, it would be nice to find something as simple as a mushroom could help these diseases. Are you going to try it? Ask your RD first if you decide to, k? And let us know if it works.

I am so sorry about your grandson! You are in my prayers. Sorry, I don't know anything about the mushroom. It would be nice if it helped. That sounds terrible. Best hopes for your grandson.

I have heard that some people have had success completely eliminating all refined starches and sugars. Sugar seems to feed cancer. I don't know if there are many studies on it. I know there was a preliminary study that said more research needed to be done. The theory is that regulating blood glucose will improve immunity and starve the cancer.

I found a page that talks about it here:
