Fungal polysaccharides - a nutrient pool required by human cells and a cell activity repair agent

Edible mushroom fungal polysaccharides are functional factor based health products, and they are currently the most advanced health products.

It has a characteristic: compound combination. Those who are familiar with traditional Chinese medicine must understand the formula of "Jun, Chen, Zuo, and Shi". A complete set of traditional Chinese medicine has several ingredients, even dozens of ingredients, and then the compound is combined according to the principle of "Jun, Chen, Zuo, and Shi". In this way, various components play their respective roles and work together to achieve the desired effect.

The only health product recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as having therapeutic effects on edible and medicinal fungi

At present, the annual economic losses caused by diseases, disabilities, and premature deaths nationwide are equivalent to the total cost of the three Three Gorges Projects, and they are all increasing year by year. Although people used to not have enough to eat, and even grass roots and tree bark became table meals, they rarely got sick. Nowadays, the national economy has developed, national income has increased, material life has improved, there are more and more hospitals, medical investment has increased, and diseases have actually increased. Why exactly is this?

Firstly, medicine has its limitations

For example, the cause of hypertension, hepatitis, diabetes, cancer and other diseases has not been found. Modern therapeutic medicine has its limitations, as effective treatment cannot be carried out without identifying the cause. Therefore, therapeutic medicine has become drug promotion, and doctors have become drug promoters.

Secondly, modern medicine treats diseases based on physiological indicators

Regarding the 'deficiency syndrome' of normal physiological indicators but abnormal functions in the human body, that is, sub-health, therapeutic medicine cannot be used.

Thirdly, there is an excessive emphasis on therapeutic medicine

Nowadays, it is customary for the public to concentrate 80% of medical investment on the last three months of life for emergency treatment. However, when death has become inevitable, even the most skilled doctors are helpless in the face of death. For example, Luo Jing, Wang Junyao, and Gao Xiumin are vivid examples before us.

The rise of new concepts in health management advocates that 80% of the national medical investment should be used for health prevention in advance. This not only fundamentally improves the quality of life, but also saves 8.59 yuan in medical expenses and 100 yuan in rescue costs with 1 yuan of health investment.

Someone said, 'In the past, people could still live a healthy life without taking health supplements.' Yes, in the past, people breathed fresh air every day; The water quality has not been polluted; Vegetables have no pesticide residues; Meat, eggs, and milk do not rely on additives, but are naturally fattened

Nowadays, people have to face a world of dust and exhaust every day, coupled with regular and quantitative consumption of pesticides and fattening pills. Therefore, the original intention of traditional health medicine is to fundamentally eliminate diseases and prevent them from getting sick through a healthy lifestyle.

Once, the King of Wei asked Bian Que: I heard that your three brothers are all skilled in medicine. Who has the most advanced medical skills? Bian Que said: My elder brother has the highest medical skills, my second brother is second, and my medical skills are the worst. The King of Wei asked again: Why are you famous all over the world, while the two of them are unknown? Bian Que said: Because my elder brother always manages to prevent diseases before they occur, and even before any signs of illness appear, he can handle them, so people don't know his cleverness. My second brother was able to treat his illness at the beginning of its symptoms. As soon as the disease started, it was suppressed, so people always thought he could only treat minor illnesses. And I can only treat life-threatening diseases. People see me breaking pus and blood, performing surgery, applying medicine, and appearing to be able to revive patients. Therefore, my reputation spreads throughout the world.

It can be seen that in ancient times, emphasis was not only placed on "treating diseases without illness", but also on "good doctors who often treat diseases without illness, so there is no illness". Sun Simiao, a famous physician of the Tang Dynasty, believed that "if you want to treat a disease, you should first use dietary therapy, that is, if dietary therapy does not cure, you can even use medicine to treat the ear. If you can use dietary therapy to treat the epidemic, it can be said to be a good job. Dietary therapy has a history of thousands of years in China and has played an important role in preventing diseases.

For example, in daily life, mung beans are originally grains, but in the Compendium of Materia Medica, mung beans are medicinal herbs that can clear heat, reduce fire, and detoxify; The winter melon that people eat in their daily lives is a vegetable. In the Compendium of Materia Medica, winter melon seeds can also clear the lungs; Garlic, ginger, scallions, Sichuan peppercorns, and other condiments are all used as medicine in the Compendium of Materia Medica. This is the so-called theory of medicinal food homology in traditional Chinese medicine.

With the gradual enhancement of countrymen and global health care awareness, the new concept of "prevention is better than cure" has become increasingly popular, making people pay more attention to health care. At the same time, it is inevitable that people exaggerate the effects of health products on human diseases. To mislead more people into thinking that 'health supplements are good medicines that can cure all diseases' is already an extreme. The other extreme is the complete denial of the therapeutic effects of health products on the human body. Therefore, the health product industry can only continue to move forward in a narrow gap and thrive. Edible and medicinal mushrooms are the only health products that dare to talk about therapeutic effects. They are highly effective in supporting the body, eliminating pathogens, enhancing immune function, and suppressing disease pathogens. Only by correctly understanding and consuming edible and medicinal mushrooms can they exert their intended effects. Otherwise, improper use may occur, making it difficult to achieve the expected results. Some people have always held a skeptical attitude towards edible and medicinal fungi: can fungal polysaccharides alone really assist in the treatment of diseases? Therefore, as a professional healthcare physician, it is worthwhile for us to study it.

The function of fungal polysaccharides

At present, the active fungal polysaccharides widely used in the development of health products mainly include Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, shiitake mushroom polysaccharides, Hericium erinaceus polysaccharides, Poria cocos polysaccharides, Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides, etc. Internationally, fungal polysaccharides are known as "biological response regulators". Fungal polysaccharides have the function of regulating biological responses and can serve as immune enhancers and activators. Active polysaccharides can stimulate the activity of immune cells, enhance the phagocytosis of tumor cells, activate T and B cells, and promote the formation of antibodies. Thus, it has anti-tumor activity to a certain extent. But it does not have a direct killing effect on tumor cells, but rather reduces the incidence of methylcholanthracene induced tumors. It is very effective for leukemia, lymphoma, etc. that are prone to widespread metastasis and are not suitable for surgical treatment and radiation therapy.

Although fungal polysaccharides are large molecular substances, they can still enter the bloodstream through the mucosa and can be used orally to treat various viral diseases. Due to the direct binding of fungal polysaccharides to the viral surface protein shell, it directly inhibits the growth and reproduction of the virus, competitively suppressing the ability of cell receptors to accept viral proteins, resulting in difficulty for the virus to enter the cell.

Fungal polysaccharides are the only Chinese health products recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as having therapeutic effects. However, most people do not know what fungal polysaccharides are, let alone what their effects are. Therefore, the full potential of fungal polysaccharides has not been realized.

For example, the fruiting body of Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides, galactose, xylose, mannitol, various essential amino acids and triterpenoids for the human body. Long term consumption can protect the liver and inhibit the formation of cancer cells in the human body. Auricularia auricula is a type of edible and medicinal fungus. Its fruiting body contains protein, fat, various amino acids, and minerals, and has the effects of being sweet, calming, nourishing qi and blood, and moistening the lungs. Golden top ear fungus is a precious edible and medicinal fungus, containing elements such as copper, manganese, and zinc, used to treat diseases such as weakness, impotence, and dysentery. Honeycomb fungus is a dual-purpose food and medicine fungus that has certain therapeutic effects on lower back and leg pain, rickets, epilepsy, and can prevent diseases such as visual impairment, eye inflammation, and night blindness. Gray tree flower is a precious edible and medicinal mushroom.

Since its launch in Taiwan in 1989, the fungal polysaccharide series products have been nourishing every corner of the world like spring rain. It is popular in countries such as China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, the United States, and Germany. Along the way, without advertising or promotion, relying on word-of-mouth to enter millions of households. The ancient Chinese medicine health preservation culture has also shone brightly in Western countries as a result.

When people are still searching for medical advice, shuttling between hospital pharmacies, and struggling with which treatment is more effective between traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and nutritional supplements, who knew that fungal polysaccharides had already gained a place in the medical community. Not only does it have the effect of treating diseases, but it also has the effect of traditional Chinese medicine health regulation. It contains five years of traditional Chinese medicine health culture.
