ABM mushroom is rich in two polysaccharides, beta-1,3 D-glucan and beta-1,6
D-glucan. The concentration of these compounds is higher in the ABM mushroom
than in any other mushroom. Polysaccharides found in the ABM mushroom restore
and support the body’s immune system by stimulating the production of
cancer-fighting lymphocyte T-cells, helper T-cells, interferon and interleukin.
This causes the number of cancer cells generated in the body to decrease
considerably.
Polysaccharides in ABM mushroom were found to be effective against
Ehrich’s ascites carcinoma (EAC), sigmoid colonic cancer, ovarian cancer, breast
cancer, lung cancer and liver cancer as well as most solid tumors.
At the Medical Department of Tokyo University, the National Cancer Center
Laboratory and Tokyo College of Pharmacy, animal models with cancerous tumors
were fed ABM mushrooms.
The cancerous tumors were eliminated in 90% of the animals. Even
more astounding was that when the animal models were fed ABM as a preventative
agent and then afterwards injected with the powerful cancer-causing cell line,
Sarcoma 180, 99.4% of them showed no tumor growth, because the cancer cells
could not even be successfully embedded.
Researchers at the King Drew Medical Center of UCLA found that ABM mushrooms increase the total number of immune cells throughout the body. Dr. Mamdooh Ghoneum discovered that this mushroom not only increases the number of natural killer cells (NK cells), but also makes each individual NK cell more powerful.
ABM mushrooms also act as powerful anti-viral agents, preventing viruses from entering delicate tissue.
