The history of Ganoderma (Continued)
Seventeen years ago, I myself conducted an important investigation into Vitamin C's knowledge and fortuity down to a polysaccharides level. At that particular time in my life, like any time in a mans youth, this time was very important to me and spent studding the method of viscosity and gauge, though since this has been employed and additional findings have occurred supporting my findings on Ganoderma. Placing Vitamin C into a measure of polysaccharide substance, a decrease of the polysaccharides molecular calculate is indicated by a modify in the viscosity. Thus, confirming Vitamin C's knowledge of liquefaction polysaccharides.
What this means? Animal experiments hit shown that every forms of dulcify crapper be enwrapped but are meet the opposite in human, why? This has whatever correlation with Vitamin C - human embody is unable to concoct Vitamin C, patch animals can. This is the thinking, or ground research we need to combine the intake of Vitamin C with reishi.
New scrutiny findings indicate that there is no harm in attractive broad dosage of Vitamin C daily. Dr. Linus Pauling, who is today in his 80's, ingests 18 grams of Vitamin C daily, and I have 12 grams a day. I believe a flourishing mortal needs a attach of 1 gram to 2 grams a day, that is 1,000 - 2,000 mg. This crapper contribute greatly to one's substantially being.
Now permit us countenance at whatever reishi practice housing studies.
1. Brain growth enduring recovering knowingness in meet 2 months.
We hit prefabricated whatever discoveries. Using mentality disease patients as examples, digit 70 eld older nonnegative enduring in the infirmary had a 5 cm mentality tumor. He had already forfeited knowingness despite surgery. He began the reishi communication around June of 1986 and by September, he had recovered his senses, but the size of the growth had remained the same. However by December, the growth had attenuated in size, modify the specialist was amazed. The enduring today feels rattling well. Initially he was administered 6 grams of reishi gist ended a stomach tube. After the feat of his senses, test intake was administered. The
patient did not aforementioned the bitter taste of reishi essence, so the amount was low to 3 grams. Although the dosage had been reduced, his mentality growth still shrunk to most 1 cm. With the return of his memory, he mitt the infirmary and stayed bag with the family instead.
2. Recession of lung cancer within 6 months.
I erst aerated a fifty nonnegative female enduring who had boob cancer. After her boob surgery, she had matured metastasis lung cancer. Later she deteriorated to hemoptysis. She began to have most 6 gm. of reishi lawful for 6 months and the cancerous lung growth disappeared. Before, she is ofttimes brief of breath, but today she crapper achievement up the stairs effortlessly. Therefore, she has complete confidence in the postscript of the reishi treatment.
3. Breast cancer well in 2 months with mega dosage.
This enduring had boob cancer and the cancer cells had metastases to the bones. She had not been healthy to move from the head down. The discompose was excruciating. Luckily, her digestive grouping was not strained and she was healthy to verify 9 grams of reishi gist daily, which was after increased, to 20 grams. In meet 2 months, she change no pain. She had been discharged from the infirmary after she prefabricated progress in her walking ability.
In addition:
The Polyporales form a large group of diverse mushrooms. Most of these are "polypores" in the widely used sense of the word: they are wood decomposers whose spores are held in tubes (rather like the tubes of the boletes). Many lack fully developed stems, and grow shelf-like or crust-like on wood, while some have more or less central stems and grow at the bases of trees, and a few appear to actually grow terrestrially.

Type species
Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma is a genus of polypores which grow on wood and includes over 250 species, many from tropical regions.[1] Because of their extensive use in traditional Asian medicines, and their potential in bioremediation, they are a very important genus economically. Ganoderma can be differentiated from other polypores because they have a double walled basidiospore.

Etymology
The name Ganoderma is derived from the Greek ganos/γανος "brightness, sheen", hence "shining" and derma/δερμα "skin",[2]
Description
Ganoderma are characterized by basidiocarps that are lignicolous, coriaceous, and either with or without a stem. They have double-walled, truncate spores with yellow to brown ornamented inner layers.
Phylogeny
The genus was named by Karsten in 1881. Members of the family Ganodermataceae were traditionally considered difficult to classify because of the lack of reliable morphological characteristics, the overabundance of synonyms, and the widespread misuse of names.[3][4] Until recently, the genus was divided into two sections - Section Ganoderma with a shiny cap surface (like Ganoderma lucidum) and Elfvingia, with a dull cap surface, like Ganoderma applanatum. Phylogenetic analysis using sequence information derived from mitochondrial SSU rDNA, have helped to clarify our understanding of the relationships amongst Ganoderma species. The genus may now be divided into six monophyletic groups:
* G. colossus group
* G. applanatum group
* G. tsugae group
* Asian G. lucidum group
* G. meredithiae group
* G. resinaceum group
In 1905, American mycologist Murrill delineated the genus Tomophagus to accommodate the single species G. colossus (then known as Polyporus colossus) which had distinctive morphological features that did not fit in with the other species.[8] Historically, however, Tomophagus has been generally been regarded as a synonym for Ganoderma.[9] Nearly a century later, phylogenetic analyses vindicated Murrill's original placement, as it has shown to be a distinct taxonomically appropriate genus.
Ganoderma are wood-decaying fungi with a cosmopolitan distribution, and can grow on both coniferous and hardwood species. They are white-rot fungi, and have enzymes have allow them to break down wood components such as lignin and cellulose. There is significant research interest in trying to harness the power of these wood-degrading enzymes for industrial applications such as biopulping or bioremediation.
Medicine
Several species of Ganoderma have been used in traditional Asian medicines for thousands of years. Collectively, the Ganoderma are being investigated for a variety of potential therapeutic benefits:
* anticancer effects
* immunoregulatory effects
* antioxidant activities
* liver-protecting effects
* hypoglycemic effects
* antibacterial effects
* antiviral effects
* antifungal effects
* reducing blood cholesterol
* inhibiting blood vessel regeneration (angiogenesis)
* antifibrotic effects
* protection against radiation-induced damage
* reducing lower urinary tract symptoms
* increasing endurace for vigorous exercise
Notable species
* Ganoderma applanatum - Also known as the Artist's conch
* Ganoderma pseudoferreum - Responsible for the root rot of cacao, coffee, rubber and tea trees
* Ganoderma lucidum - Also known as Reishi or Lingzhi
* Ganoderma philippii - A plant pathogen
* Ganoderma tsugae - A polypore which grows on conifers, especially hemlock; thus the common name, Hemlock varnish shelf. Similar in appearance to Ganoderma lucidum, which typically grows on hardwoods.
