I was given the dried mushroom pieces by a local Chinese friend after my first breast cancer surgery. She showed me how to cook it and the proper way to drink it. Her Mother survived 3 more years than doctors had predicted after being diagnosed with late stage lung cancer. The family swore by 'Reishi' (I only knew it by the name of 'Ling-chih' (miracle herb).
Then I found a pill form produced by one of the largest hospitals in Taiwan.
www.cgb.com.tw I was told by a sales lady (based in New York near where one of my my relative lives) to open the capsule
http://www.cgb.com.tw/j2j0/cus/cus2/pdt/pdt_kid_1_4.jsp and mix the power with a couple of once of water - thus eliminate eating the 'capsule'.
When I found the recurrence, my friends were 'stunned'. They thought the 'miracle herb' should have prevented my having cancer again. They nodded their heads after I explained to them that it was caused by the tumor not being completely resected from the lumpectomy.
What I've found is that it seems to be a very good laxative. In Chinese medicine, everything that contains ingredients that has the function of 'eliminating toxin' is considered 'cold' (as opposed to 'hot' - such as Ginseng.) I think avoiding constipation/diahrria during cancer treatment (or treatment of any type of illnesses) is very important. The 'miracle mushroom' seems to be very effective in that aspect.
