Double-blind studies on maitake extract are under way at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America involving patients with advanced colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy. maitake not only enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy but also appears to reduce some of its unwanted side effects, such as nausea and extreme fatigue. | | Recent animal studies have shown that maitake extract can shrink tumors in mice even better than a common chemotherapy drug.

The Japanese word maitake means dancing mushroom because, so tradition tells us, when people found maitake they would dance for joy. What was so joyous about this fungi? For one thing, it was worth its weight in silver.
Hen-of-the-woods clumps grow at the base of tree stumps in the woods. The stalks of their fan-shape caps fuse together at the base to form a mass sometimes as large as a football. Hen-of-the-woods grows wild throughout the northern hemisphere. Since 1990, it has been successfully cultivated. |

See article keywords and concepts |  There are a number of immune boosters and medicinal mushrooms, such as maitake mushrooms. You probably want to use a number of them because they all build different parts of the immune systems. The antipathogens -- the things that are known to kill viruses in particular -- include garlic, and, interestingly enough, they have reports in Korea of people who basically kept their birds alive, even though avian flu is normally 100 percent fatal for birds, by feeding them kimchi, which is has a lot of garlic.
Mike: Wow.
Barron: Yeah. It's basically a sort of fermented cabbage and high-garlic food. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Their true value, as demonstrated in recent laboratory research in Japan, is that "of all mushrooms studied, maitake has the strongest activity in tumor growth inhibition,"* as one study put it. The source of the maitake's value, the research shows, is the phytochemical called D-fraction, which enhances the immune system and acts to suppress tumors. maitake also works as an antihypertensive, antidiabetes, antiobesity, and antihepatitis agent, and it is currently under study for its anti-HIV properties. But it is as a cancer inhibitor that D-fraction? |

5. Enhance liver function by eating a high-fiber, low-fat diet.
6. Use nutritional and herbal supplements that help control against yeast overgrowth and promote a healthy bacterial flora, such as oregano oil, thyme oil, lauric acid, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Bifidobacteria.
7. | | In addition to exerting some direct benefits of its own, maitake helps reduce the side effects of conventional chemotherapy and radiation, such as nausea, weight loss, fatigue, and immune suppression, while at the same time enhancing their effectiveness.
Reishi
Reishi is the premier longevity herb in classical Chinese medicine and is the medicinal mushroom/herb most often used as a general health tonic. Preliminary clinical studies have shown it to be helpful in boosting the immune system and in the treatment of viral infections, including hepatitis B. | | Just like a key in a lock, the binding of the maitake components literally flips white blood cells on and triggers a chain reaction leading to increased immune activity. In addition to increasing the ability of the macrophages to engulf and destroy cancer cells, microbes, and other foreign cells, the binding stimulates the production of important signaling proteins of the immune system, such as interleukin-1, inter-leukin-2, and lymphokines. These immune activators ramp up defenses by activating immune cells. | | For more information on the anticancer aspects of mushroom phytochemicals, see the discussion under "Maitake" on page 660.
HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
With both fresh and dried button mushrooms available throughout the year, try to buy fresh mushrooms when you find them to be firm, plump, and clean. Avoid mushrooms that are wet, slimy, or wrinkled. Darkening is a sign of a mushroom's age, so choose those mushrooms that are lightest in color. In general, fresh button mushrooms should be white, while the crimini and portobello can be tan. | | Mushrooms (Shiitake, maitake, and Reishi)
Although numerous types of mushrooms provide wonderful tastes, textures, and healthful properties, these three mushroom superstars have been recently receiving widespread attention due to their health benefits and, as a result, are increasingly available:
• Shiitake (Lentinus edodes): These have fleshy, brown, slightly convex caps that range in diameter from about 2 to 4 inches. Shiitakes are cultivated on logs in the United States and in many East Asian countries for their meaty, robust flavor and texture. | | HOW TO SELECT AND STORE
Shiitake mushrooms are typically more commonly found than reishi or maitake. If your grocery store does not carry these, look for the nearest Asian market and try to find them there. With both fresh and dried button mushrooms available throughout the year, try to buy fresh mushrooms when you find them firm, plump, and clean. Avoid mushrooms that are wet, slimy, or wrinkled. Reishi mushrooms are usually available in the dried form and may hold a brown to dark reddish orange, waxlike top with firm gills underneath. |

Q Wild oregano oil is a potent antiseptic, powerful in killing a range of fungi.
Recommendations
Q Eat vegetables, fish, and gluten-free grains such as brown rice and millet.
Q Eat plain yogurt that contains live yogurt cultures. | | The FDA approved Phase II clinical trials of maitake in 1998.
Q People with AIDS are almost always underweight and often have malabsorption problems that contribute to malnutrition, which is common in people with AIDS. A lack of quality protein and adequate calories is a common reason for immune deficiency. (See malabsorption syndrome in Part Two.)
Q Researchers are studying the effects of phytonutrients in the blue-green algae spirulina as potential weapons in the fight to cure AIDS. |

Melatonin
The hormone melatonin is naturally produced by the pineal gland, a cone-shaped structure in the brain. The body's pattern of melatonin production is similar to that of the other "antiaging" hormones, human growth hormone (HGH) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Throughout early life, melatonin is produced in abundance. |
