Editor's Notes
- This is going to be something like a tasting to peak your interestInterestof mine is to track traditional uses of remedies and compare more recent “scientific” research with it.
- Today I am going to be talking about: #1 - A new “old” approach to health& healing #2 - And possibly a new goalNot just elimination of symptoms Or even just preventionWe hear a lot about “healthcare” in a system devoted to symptom and disease care a disease management system
- Dose dependent suppressed colony formation
- Mushrooms and fungi’s benefits are broad and promising, esp. for the world today Fungi are the Great Recyclers for the planetMyco-remediation comparison study bound better than traditional remediation techniquesRadiation - chelator, radio-active sites, protects body
- 2,000,000 # of serious adverse drug side effects (year 2000) 284,000 - iatrogenic deaths - nice way of saying medicine caused - hospitals 3rd – leading cause of death - ahead of accidents, auto deaths, diabetes,…13th - infant mortality rate among “modern” or “advanced” nations - Out of 16 48th - rank of U.S. lifespan 40-60% - projected obesity rate for 2030 - BMI of 40% or higher$70,000 - amount spent every 13 hours by the food lobby - the result – pizza is a vegetable on school lunches 2TB vs. ½ cup
- Haven’t antibiotics and vaccinations been responsible for our improvements in health ?
- P R O – A C T I V E health & healing Beyond disease prevention way beyond symptomatic treatment We are so focused on disease ! Even naturopathy’s official definition is one based upon a disease focusI am a big proponent of being involved and responsible for your health & healingLet’s do what we do best in this arena western medicine can not compete
- When it comes to TONICS We are so caught up in the symptom/drug paradigmthat we just aren’t able to fully embrace TONICS
- You may recognize two of these mushrooms blue left – werewere-kokako - Entolomahochstetteri Fly agaric (Aminita) that someone took a nice slice out of???Estimated ~ 150,000 mushrooms only ~10% are currently known 50% of these are at least somewhat edible700 are known to contain pharmacological properties ~300 have immune and anti-tumor actionsMushrooms are, believe it or not, some of the oldest and largest organisms on this planet- Upper peninsula in Michigan - discovered Armilariagallica - covers over 30 acres - estimated weight over 100 tons - 1500 years old - they hold a “Humungus Fungus Festival”Another found to cover more than 20,000 acres (over 8,000 hectares)
- There are obviously many general similarities among the mushroomsVirtually all that we have boost immune support cardiovascular in some way anti-oxidantLower blood sugar nutritionally rich Chelators
- TONICS are fundamentally about Radiant HealthVitality Balance Harmonize Functionality Nourish Holistic Strengthen RADIANCE
- Life is a complex
- Take for instance Aging Many different theories of aging

- YOU WERE RIGHT!
- Said to nourish and calm the ShenCalms and nourishes the CNS emotional disturbances
- Over 5000 years ago wounded by an arrow escaped to higher altitude only to die carried 2 mushrooms: tinder and medicine one closely related to Chaga nicknamed cinder conk
- Used traditionally for stomach related disorders cancers pain reliever tuberculosisAINU northern islands of Japan – smoked it in religious ceremonies - passed around the circle – like a peace pipe - called “eating the smoke”tCM - smooth the Qi strengthen the mind & Shen
- Grows from Hokkaido across Siberia to the Baltic northern climes in the US looks like burnt charcoalBitter taste somewhat like coffee Traditionally used as a tea traditional use vs research ? !
- Again goes well beyond just immune support
- Gastric - up-regulated pro-apoptotic proteins down-regulated anti-apoptotic proteins adenocarcinoma - malignant epithelial cancer originating in glands melanoma - inhibited proliferation - induced differentiation - induced apoptosisSarcomas -- may effect gene(s) - leading to regression - induced apoptosis
- Constitutional strengthener MY TAKE
- Women’s Island Knot dark brown to black hoof shapedTraditional uses : improve blood circulation - enhance detoxification - hepato-protective- allergies - diabetes - Gi hemorrhage diarrhea cancers
- Study of top 20Working with Dr Sliva Cancer Research Lab Methodist Research Center Indianapolis
- Dose dependent suppressed colony formation
- As with your Immune System, your brain is very complicated & interconnected 4 Trillion connections another example of where a holistic and tonic approach makes the most sense~ 100 million neurons ~ Each neuron has ~ 40,000 connections9 times more glial cells glial used to be ignored as structural support now much more they may actually do the thinking - creativity,… the glial cells communicate by wave actionMore neuron connections than stars in universe
- HSV 1 found in 90% of plaqueBrain’s protection - blood brain barrier - glial cells
- We are going to focus on AD 1797 - dementia first coined 1906 - Dr. Alzheimer described a patient by 1907 it was called “alzheimer’sThe more gray matter that dies the harder to come backPREVENTION
- Incidence, Cost of Care, and Federal Research Funding You don’t even need to see the numbersNotice purple line = # of Americans with AD Next, take a look at yellow bar trend = cost of treating them NOTICE a similarity ?Now look at the teeny tiny red bars across the bottom… notice a trend difference?
- Most effects Cerebral Cortex visual & spatial info Basal Forebrain HippocampusNormal Aging memory loss likely due to way neurons communicate neurofibrillary tangles do they or do they not “cause” AD? They exist in virtually every older brain.Sulcusgroove in brain surfaceGyrus ridge of brain cortex
- Problem for Allopathy is they do not know the causeOnly address they symptoms
- Just like with aging We need to know what alzheimer’s disease is~ 100 known causes of dementia incl: AD, multiple strokes, brain infections, severe thyroid deficiency, brain injury
- AD is NOT forgetting where you put your keys

- NGF: induces neuronal differentiation (nerve identity) promote survival of neurons promote regeneration while decreasing neuro-degneration
- Stimulated the fueling of macrophageLAB STUDY -- Anti-microbial - demonstrated anti-MRSA activity - confirmed by clinical test in hospital Ulcers - gastricCancer stomach, esophageal, skin liver, lung, cervical cell line HeLa Henrietta Lacks your cells don’t belong to youAtrophic wasting deterioration hiv-1 -- study - polyneuropathy
- Numerous studies on NGF Neuronal cell death Oxidative or Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress 4. 3 different fractionsMyelin - supports protects and feeds the axon STUDY: LM -- process began earlier and at a higher rateNATURE’S GIFT HOLISTIC BY NATURE

- 50 to 80 year olds women & men mild cognitive impairment tested for 2 weeks randomized 2 - 15 people groupsLM - 4 x 250 mg tablets - 3 times a day tested 4, 8, 12, & 16 weeks improved cognitive function scores also 4 weeks after LM supplementation finished -- scores declined
- No change in this case may actually be a positive result
