Mycotherapy: How to Heal with Mushrooms?

Mycotherapy is the use of mushrooms to treat various diseases and improve human health.

Mushrooms possess unique medicinal properties. Mycelium-based mushroom supplements are recommended for oncology, chemo- and radiotherapy, gynecological conditions, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, and can aid in combating conditions such as ischemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and even AIDS. This is not an exhaustive list of their therapeutic effects.

IMPORTANT! Supplements made from medicinal mushrooms do not replace conventional medical treatments.They serve as an excellent complement to primary treatment, enhancing its effectiveness, and in some cases, they become indispensable as a natural therapy—especially in the absence of alternatives in medical practice for post-surgery or post-chemotherapy/radiation recovery. Additionally, mushroom extracts are excellent tools for disease prevention.

Using Mushrooms for Oncology

Polysaccharide molecules are a key component of mushrooms, known for their immunomodulating activity and powerful anti-tumor effects.

Each mushroom contains a unique composition of polysaccharides that affect various organs differently. Since determining which specific polysaccharides are deficient in the body is impossible, it's recommended to alternate mushroom extracts monthly to allow time for rebuilding anti-tumor immunity.

Mushroom extracts can also be taken in pairs, as their active components often complement each other. For cases involving metastasis, Antrodia Cinnamomea is advised, as it enhances the effects of other medicinal mushroom extracts by up to 10 times.

Breaks between monthly courses should not exceed 10 days; otherwise, anti-tumor immunity significantly declines after that period.

This combined application makes chemotherapy and radiation treatments significantly easier to endure—reducing nausea, vomiting, and depression. It accelerates blood cell recovery, slows tumor growth, and suppresses metastasis development.

Mushroom-based supplements can be taken alongside chemotherapy and radiation treatments, minimizing adverse side effects and promoting faster recovery.

Duration of Mushroom Use

The duration of treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the type of cancer, and its characteristics.

  • Early-stage oncology: The treatment duration should be at least 6–8 months.

  • During remission: Medicinal mushrooms are excellent for preventing recurrence. For prevention, take 2–3 capsules daily before meals, with plenty of water.

  • Moderate-severity cancer: Following surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, a combined mushroom regimen is recommended.

  • Advanced cancer stages: The treatment duration depends on the patient's condition. In combination therapy, take 4–8 capsules daily before meals, with plenty of water.

For stage 4 cancer, mushroom supplements help reduce pain, allowing a decrease in analgesic or narcotic dosages. They strengthen the body, stabilize the patient’s condition, and prolong life.

Notable Benefits of Brazilian Agaricus

Brazilian Agaricus is especially effective at stage 4 cancer due to its unique ability to completely block the development of the tumor's blood supply system, halting its growth.

  • It enables lymphocytes, macrophages, and natural killer cells to infiltrate cancer cells and fight them from within.

  • It eliminates metabolic byproducts of the tumor, even in necrosis (decay) stages.

  • It suppresses metastasis development.

Timeline of Visible Effects

  • For moderate conditions, noticeable positive effects often appear only midway through the second month (typically after at least 40 days).

  • For severe conditions, it can take 6–8 months to restore anti-tumor immunity.

Preventive Courses and Adaptation

After intensive doses, a preventive course can halve the dosage. Extracts should be rotated every two months to prevent the body from developing tolerance and ensure continued effectiveness.Periodic breaks are recommended, with follow-up evaluations every six months to monitor progress and detect potential issues.

Key Takeaway

The effects of mycotherapy in oncology are not immediate. Immunity cannot be restored in a month.

  • For moderate conditions, effects are typically noticeable within 1.5–2 months.

  • For severe conditions, initial results may take over six months.

Polysaccharide peptides (medicinal mushrooms) from the My Real Way line are used as adjunct therapy for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. They help alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, and pain. For better outcomes, peptide-polysaccharide complexes can be combined with multi-component peptide bioregulators from the My Real Way series, which target

specific organs.
