The Agaricus mushroom has several names: "Golden mushroom", "Mushroom of life and longevity". At the 2006 Mycology and Fungotherapy Congress in New York, Agaricus Blazen was recognized as the most promising mushroom for treatment in oncology and for use in gerontology (the science of aging). The substances contained in it not only kill cancer cells, but also slow down the aging process. The fungus was discovered and described only in 1965 by the American mycologist Muriel.

The National Cancer Center in Japan published its first research results as early as 1980. Scientific research on this mushroom is also being published in the USA.

Agaricus Blazei Murill is native to the Brazilian rainforest. The locals called it the "Mushroom of God" and used it as a last resort to help with serious illnesses.

Everywhere on the numerous frescoes and clay fragments of the Aztecs there are images of this mushroom. For a long time it was believed that this was a magic or hallucinogenic mushroom with which the priests used to bring their fellow citizens into a trance, but it turned out to be an ordinary edible mushroom.

When studying the indigenous inhabitants of the tropical forests not far from São Paulo, where mainly 90-100-year-old shepherds and fishermen live, scientists found that their biological age was much lower than the official one. They determined that the cells of their body divide at a noticeably lower rate compared to other people, which means that the aging process slows down. They regularly took Agaricus Blasei.

In its wild form, Agaricus is called the "Button Mushroom", it barely emerges from the ground. It is characterized by a very pungent smell, it has an unusual sour-sweet taste. Local residents search for it with dogs and add it daily as a powder to sauces, meat dishes and when preparing tinctures.

About 30 closely related species of the Brazilian Agaricus have been found around the world, but only this Agaricus Blazen Murel can boast of such medicinal properties and only it bears the name "Sunny Mushroom of the Aztecs".

Agaricus is effective in late-stage cancer when ascites (accumulation of inflammatory fluid in the abdomen) or lymphostasis (lymph stagnation) develops. The mushroom practically never causes allergic reactions. It very successfully removes the metabolic products of the cancer cell from the body, even when it is in a state of necrosis (decay).

After chemotherapy, Agaricus restores the microflora in the intestine, which at this moment is in a deplorable state, normalizes the work of the liver and kidneys. It also suppresses the development of fungal diseases (aspergillosis, candidiasis, etc.), which also develop after chemotherapy.

Agaricus is used not only in oncology, but also for the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, genitourinary system, lymph and blood, even in epilepsy and autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, encephalopathies, scleroderma, polyarthritis).

The Brazilian mushroom Agaricus is capable of suppressing any pathogenic fungal flora, and for this reason it is used for mycosis of the skin, nails, vagina, mouth, etc.

In gerontology (the science of aging) Agaricus is used to treat the elderly and anyone who wants to slow down the aging of their body.

In addition to many valuable vitamins and minerals, Agaricus Blazei Murill has the highest content of polysaccharides of all known medicinal mushrooms, primarily beta D-glucan. In the extract, all these substances are contained in a high concentration. As written in the scientific literature, the mushroom strongly stimulates the immune system.

Taking it leads to an increase in the number and activation of "natural killer" cells and macrophages, i.e. of the cells that are responsible for the destruction of bacteria and viruses and for the disposal of foreign substances, as well as for the formation of chemical substances "couriers" (such as interferon, interleukin), which also take part in the defense processes. In this way, the formation of many types of cancer, as well as the growth of tumors.

Agaricus Blazei Murill not only stops the growth of tumors but also induces remission. This action has been proven in research in leukemia, in bowel, lung, genital, breast, pancreatic, prostate, liver cancer. It has proven to be particularly useful in inoperable cases of liver cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, breast cancer, as well as in hepatitis B and C. This applies even in cases where neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy. In most of the patients, the tumor marker drops immediately after a few weeks and they start to feel better, even in cases where traditional medicine does not give any hope. Japanese scientists researching cancer have confirmed the wonderful and, above all, quick action of this mushroom even in patients in the last stage of cancer. The mushroom stimulates the exchange of blood, and the immune system stabilizes in a short time. Although not yet well known in Europe, Agaricus is recognized in Japan, Brazil, Mexico. Uruguay and the USA as a cancer-preventing mushroom, and in Japan it has even been officially launched as an anti-cancer drug.

The Agaricus mushroom or its extract can dramatically reduce the dangerous side effects of conventional therapies. They help break down the poisonous substances that are formed in the body as a result of chemotherapy. In a follow-up of 100 patients with genital cancer who used Agaricus, side effects (such as loss of appetite, weakness, hair loss) were significantly reduced, and the number of natural killer cells increased significantly.

Agaricus has proven its effectiveness in impaired functions of the liver, digestion, hematopoiesis, increased cholesterol levels, problems / enlargement / of the spleen and a weak immune system. For this, Agaricus extract is used in the USA as an adjunctive treatment for AIDS patients.

Cases of Agaricus:

1. A female therapist tells about a patient who was diagnosed with stage IV inoperable tongue cancer. They conduct chemotherapy, additionally taking Agaricus and selenium. At the last examination, they found a complete regression of the tumor.

2. Mrs. M.'s husband suffered from a lung tumor caused by smoking. She writes to us that, in addition to chemotherapy, he has been treated with Agaricus for several weeks and that the tumor has shrunk significantly.

3. “After having uterine cancer and a total excision, I had a recurrence 12 years later. They started irradiating me. I have been taking Agaricus and Coriolus mushrooms for 5 weeks, 2 tablets 2 times a day, and the tumor has shrunk from 5 to 2 cm. I feel good, despite the radiation."

4. Mr. R. writes to us with gratitude. His wife has endometrial cancer and has been receiving treatment since 2003. They also prescribe chemotherapy. Despite this therapy, however, the tumor marker steadily continued to rise. In November 2004, they recommended Agaricus Blazen, as she had lost a lot of weight. In Mrs. R., in December 2004, after she had taken 2 capsules of Agaricus extract 3 times a day for a month and after she had also undergone therapy for high blood pressure, the tumor and marker significantly dropped from 1290 to 85 (upper normal limit). In January, the tumor marker drops to 60 and the chemotherapy is diluted, they even think about refusing it altogether. In the spring of 2005, while taking Agaricus continuously, the tumor marker was below 30. She feels well again and is quite resilient (according to her age).

5. Mrs. E. (ovarian carcinoma, metastases in the stomach area...) had to go to the hospital in October to have two secondary tumors in her liver removed, which were already visible on the computed tomography in September. New research has shown that they were gone! In addition to chemotherapy, she took Agaricus extract and 4x3 spoons of Reishi mushroom powder.

6. A few weeks of taking medicinal mushrooms affects lung cancer and causes a significant reduction of the tumor, which can be seen on computer tomography.

7. “You recommended Meitake, Agaricus and Reishi extract to my mother for breast cancer. She drank this combination for two months and the water disappeared from her lung. Puncture was no longer necessary."

8. “My storm has been taking Agaricus, Meitake, and Coriolus for a month now. After the second chemotherapy, he found that the nausea did not last as long and occurred less often. Only occasionally did her bones ache. She is happy that her hair has grown back well and that neither the eyebrows nor the eyelashes have fallen off. Her mood is good."

9. Mr. F. (age 36) had numerous unpleasant problems due to chronic prostatitis and urethral lumps, which he feared might be malignant. Taking antibiotics had no effect. Started taking 2 capsules of Agaricus 3 times a day to get rid of lumps and inflammation. After 5 days he felt prickling and started going to the toilet more often and felt that something was going on". Soon after that he started having more and more few complaints when urinating and less and less pain.

After 3 months, the lumps were gone, and cancer was unthinkable.

10. “I take 1 capsule of Agaricus Blazei extract and one tablet of Reishi powder three times a day. I have been using Reishi for 1 year now, Agaricus since January and thanks to this I managed to deal with a severe allergy to pollen and intolerance to various foods and I no longer have any symptoms!!!... In any case, even my migraines have improved a lot lately weeks and I hardly need any pain meds anymore..."

11. “I learned about medicinal mushroom therapy from my father, I tried it and I'm delighted I haven't had any colds for weeks, and I used to succumb so easily. I take 2 to 4 Agaricus capsules a day."

12. "I have been taking the medicinal mushrooms (Agaricus) recommended by you for about 3 weeks, in the meantime I have reduced the amount to two tablets a day. I mean I'm so impressed I haven't had this much energy and strength in a long time. Sometimes I have to really stop myself so that I don't do so many things and waste my Energy. Ah, let me tell you, I cut back on the capsules, as it sometimes got bad, which is most likely due to my weakness (I'm 50 kg, 168 cm). I've been very well since then."

13. “For several days we have been giving our old, sick dog (heart failure and liver damage) one capsule of Agaricus Blazei extract twice a day with really great success. The dog suddenly became cheerful again and moved as before. We stopped the cortisone and are very surprised at this development."

Chemical composition of Agaricus blazei

The main substances in the mushroom are beta-glucone and agaritin. Kawagishi was the first scientist to isolate active anticancer compounds. He discovered polysaccharides with apparent antitumor activity that contained a protein complex consisting of 43.4% protein and 50.2% carbohydrates. It contains simple (1-6)-D-glucopyranosyl chains. In general, the known active compounds of Agaricus blazei Murill include: beta glucans, ergosterol derivatives (provitamin D2), glucomannan, manogalactoglucan, proteoglycans and rigoglucans.

Agaricus blazei is a source of amino acids and is high in vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, as well as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and zinc. It is also a source of ergosterol, a precursor of vitamin D2. Contains proteins of 40-45%, carbohydrates of 38-45%, fibers of 6-8%, vegetable fats 3-4%. Contains vitamins B1, B2 and niacin.

The mushroom is known for its antiviral properties as well as its immunomodulatory activity. It is used as an alternative to antibiotic drugs.

· stimulates the activity of the immune system

The immunomodulatory properties of Agaricus blazei have also been linked to its potential against various forms of cancer. The beta-glucan found in mushrooms is believed to be extremely effective in stimulating the body's immune response, and the compound has been specifically used to inhibit the growth of tumors.

· the mushroom extract is also used as a concomitant treatment for AIDS patients

· used for inflammation of the pancreas, edema, autoimmune diseases /multiple sclerosis, polyarthritis, psoriasis, autoimmune dermatitis, autoimmune thyroiditis, etc./;

· is used in asthma, allergies, bronchitis, hepatitis, high blood pressure, angina, erectile problems in men, migraine, chronic fatigue and exhaustion, to slow down aging;

· physical and emotional stress;

· diabetes;

· high cholesterol and blood circulation problems; stimulates blood exchange;

· osteoporosis - Vitamin D2 has positive effects in reducing the risk of bone loss.

· peptic ulcer, indigestion and inflammatory bowel diseases Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The mushroom is rich in digestive enzymes such as amylase, trypsin, maltase and protease, which help break down heat-treated food (poor in enzymes).

· chronic hepatitis and cancer.

· Heart failure

· Slows down aging. Useful substances in the mushroom help in the treatment of rashes, blemishes, damaged skin, scars. Wrinkles are essentially the result of damage to the collagen tissues below the surface of the skin. The beta-glucan in mushrooms promotes the renewal of the skin's surface by accelerating the renewal of its cells.
