Julierene,
One lady in my family tried MG-3 the mushroom extract because there was some lab data regarding its mode of action.
It did not appear to help based on blood markers but it did cause a bout of psiorasis possibly by overstimulating the immune system (my speculation).
Later on, Life Extension Org which was one of the reputable firms distributing it,stopped doing so stating there were doubts about its effectiveness.
In general I look with suspicion about any unproved supplement or other treatment when the promoters fail to make public some data on the percentage of patients that are helped.
My reasoning is that if a treatment was effective the promoter would be eager to keep a detailed log of his successes & seek a Nobel prize.
Failure to provide such data is not a good signal especially if the product or the treatment have been around for a long time.
