Turkey tail has been used for over 5,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine in healing the body of many ailments. Turkey tail stimulates and empowers the immune system, particularly by enhancing the workings of one of the most critical cells, known as natural killer cells (NK cells) or killer T cells. This ancient mushroom can help rebuild the immune system in people with a wide range of cancers. The polysaccharides in Turkey Tail (PSP or PSK) are strong scavengers of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. It has shown to inhibited incorporation of two structural units of DNA (uridine and thymidine) in ascites tumor cells, inhibited the growth of P388 leukemia cells, and demonstrated anti-proliferative activity against cell lines of human gastric cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma, and mononuclear leukemia. It inhibits adhesion, invasion, motility, and metastatic growth of tumor cells in animal models of cancer. Turkey Tail improves upper respiratory tract infections, helps with pulmonary disease, elimination of urinary tract infections, relieves digestive tract irritations, anti-viral activity, enhance liver function, anti hepatitis, anti microbial and a high antioxidant.

Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis or Laricifomes officinalis)
Agarikon conks were used in ancient Greece to treat consumption (tuberculosis). We have also found remnants of agarikon at burial sites of indigenous tribes that died of smallpox and important Shamans. We assume from this that conk was used as treatment for smallpox and used by Shamans to treat severe ailments. The Agarikon is used for viral infections by helping to stimulate the immune response to viruses. Eating the fungi’s mycelium can reduce inflammation and can help combat both bacterial and viral infections. Paul Stamets has done extensive research on this fungi and has found it to fight viruses (cowpox, swine and bird flu and the virus that causes herpes). We know that Agarikon contains agaric acid which is a anhidronic (reduces, prevents, or stops sweating), anti-inflammatory and used as a parasympathetic nervous system agent. Agarikon is being studied currently and we will know more as the research is unfolding of all of it’s healing properties.
