Maitake Mushroom (Dancing Mushroom) may help the body steel itself against the onslaught of cancer and HIV/AIDS, supercharge the immune system, shrink painful fibroid cysts, give blood vessels a break from rising blood pressure, and tip the scales toward the lower numbers, just to name few of the possibilities.The active ingredient in medicinal mushrooms are polysaccharides called beta-glucans. The Maitake mushroom contains a unique beta-glucan, called D-fraction, that sets it apart as a health elixir. This D-fraction is believed to be responsible for the many health benefits of Maitake.
The majority of research conducted regarding the Maitake mushroom has centered on cancer prevention. Although Maitake isn't believed to kill cancer cells directly, it does protect the body from cancer by stimulating the immune cells that, in turn, fight off cancerous cells. Some experts believe that Maitake may help inhibit tumors that are already growing, prevent the initiation of new cancers, and stop (or at least slow down) the severe secondary symptoms associated with cancer.
Maitake can also provide welcome relief to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. One of the side effects of chemotherapy is impaired immune function, since anti-cancer drugs tend to knock out everything in their path, including some innocent immune system bystanders. Therefore, taking this extract of Maitake in conjunction with chemotherapy may produce increased benefits while making the treatment easier for the patient to endure.
High blood pressure is another condition benefited by Maitake. Abram Ber, M.D., a homeopathic physician, has used Maitake, with reportedly good results, in patients with high blood pressure. "When on medication, the blood pressure is all over the place, but, with Maitake mushrooms, there is a gradual decrease in blood pressure toward normalcy. Further, there are absolutely no side effects," Ber explained.
