Hopefully helpful, especially if you like mushrooms!

study of N=1! Mushrooms along with usual therapy. " an 83-year-old woman, was diagnosed in June 2009 with advanced, metastatic inflammatory breast cancer...............The University of Minnesota and Bastyr University (Kenmore, Washington) recently completed a phase 1 dose-escalation trial and found that up to 9 g/day of a T versicolor preparation is safe and tolerable in women with breast cancer who had undergone chemotherapy.3 Perhaps the most intriguing part of this study was the finding that 6 g of T versicolor appeared to lead to faster immune recovery after radiotherapy. This should be studied in additional clinical trials on the potential primary and secondary effects of mushroom therapy in patients with cancer........................This is consistent with some of the basic science research describing medicinal mushrooms as modulators of molecular targets in cancer treatment. Three and one-half years later, this now 87-year-old patient leads a vital and active life, is disease free, and in addition to being administered Herceptin every 3 weeks, takes a daily dose of turkey tail mushrooms and a 17-species mushroom formula...............".

Interesting that you should post on mushrooms, I had just been doing a tad of experimenting with them, in the form of something called AHCC. I might do some more of that. Plus, I love mushrooms as food!

Apparently not.

I am glad that you are not scared a bit, that will be helpful. I am always listening, do you have another question?

I recall my MO and his fellow researchers at City of Hope conducted a study years ago using white button mushroom powder to help reduce the levels of PSA in PCA patients whose PSA had been previously rising.

"The City of Hope researchers treated 36 prostate cancer patients with the powder, assessing their PSA levels' responsiveness to different doses of the powder and whether the men experienced any ill effects. After three months of daily use of the powder, 36 percent of patients experienced some reduction in PSA, with two patients experiencing a remarkable complete response, meaning their PSA levels dropped to undetectable levels. Of note, that complete response continued for 72 and 53 months. None of the men suffered any ill effects".

Italatin8, you went to city of hope?

It doesn’t.

Turkey Tail, Chaga, Reishi and other mushrooms have long been used in alternative medicine.

Here's a page that discusses these and a few others.

Much better, those are vastly different statements.
There hasn't been a level 1 study funded by a drug company doesn't negate the research that has been done.

"In summary, we have demonstrated, for the first time, that PSP treatment not only inhibits CSC properties, but also effectively suppresses prostate tumor formation. Our results suggest that PSP may be an effective agent for prostate cancer chemoprevention."
"It doesn't" remains false
