{pixabay|100|campaign} If you take only one medicinal mushroom, make it Ganoderma. Also known as Red Reishi in Japan or Lingzhi in China, Ganoderma Lucidum is a type of mushroom thats renowned for its fantastic medicinal properties and has been used in traditional medicine throughout Asia for centuries. Documents confirm its been in use for more than 2000 years.

There are 2 parts to the mushroom, the red fruit body, and the root system.

Reishi Gano or RG capsules contain pure Ganoderma Lucidum powder from the fruit (thats the red disc-like part in the picture).

Ganocelium or GL capsules contain pure Ganoderma Mycelium powder from the root (theyre the long straggly bits).

RG contains over 400 different nutrients, while GL contains over 200. So were talking about some very power-packed capsules.

And just why is this particular mushroom so good for you?

Talk to any practitioner of herbal, traditional and Chinese medicine, or any nutritionalist or naturopath. In their rich armoury, medicinal mushrooms feature strongly. Theres a reason for this. Firstly, theyre a natural product (well, that stands to reason).

But mostly its because the nutrient-rich Ganoderma Lucidum medicinal mushroom is the most nutrient-rich of all the medicinal mushrooms.

Ganoderma contains a vast array of Polysaccharides, Organic Germanium, Adenosine, Tripterpines, amino acids, ganoderic acids, anti-oxidants, proteins, vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Its also classed as an adaptogen, which means it can enter and clean toxic cells.

Phew. Thats a lot for a single plant. You can see why practitioners and users sing its praises.

The key benefits of Ganoderma reach all parts of the body

More and more clinical research into Ganoderma is confirming what the practitioners of old already knew. That Ganoderma can help reduce the incidence and the effects of many major diseases and conditions.

Heres a snapshot of some of these studies.
Cardiovascular disease in inhibiting platelet aggregation and reducing hypertension.
Immune system in particular, in cancer research, recording positive immune-modulating effects and reduced side-effects from chemotherapy and radiation.
Blood sugar balance with a blood sugar lowering effect, elevation of plasma insulin levels, and enhanced liver metabolism of glucose.
Anti-inflammatory effects showing comparable effects to hydrocortisone.
Liver protector – studies with Hepatitis B Patients found Ganoderma reduced the elevated levels of liver enzymes to normal range.
Oxygenation a reduction in altitude sickness by oxygenating the blood.

And heres good news especially if you have a busy lifestyle.

Ganoderma is the most alkaline food in the world. You probably didnt know this, but most of us have bodies that are in a state of acidosis. Sadly, thats not good news. In short, we eat too many acidic foods and drinks too many acidic drinks (even though they may not taste tart).

The body operates at its best and most efficient when in a slightly alkaline state. But acidosis means that instead of being in a peak fighting state, its fighting with one hand tied behind its back.

Ganoderma helps restore the bodys pH balance to its preferred alkaline state. With regular use, its back to a fair fight. And with some 150 disease that cant survive in an alkaline body, its a fight you really want to win.

You may feel fit and healthy now, but what happens when lifestyle catches up?

Youd be living under a rock not to know that chronic disease is on the rise. And the seeds are sown early on. Its just that we dont see it coming.

Diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, obesity and many other conditions are by and large a result of the bodys own immune system under stress. The major organs that clean our cells become overloaded with a toxic mass because of lifestyle and eating choices and cant cope. This happens over a number of years. Its disease by stealth.

So the organs have to store those toxins in our cells until they can get around to dealing with them all. Imagine its a bit like rubbish bins on the street. Unemptied, the bins overflow, and turn nasty. Before you know it, youre dodging and weaving around mess. And the smell! Well, imagine your poor body having to storing up its waste in different parts of you and how inefficient that makes its functioning!

And once the cleaning functions are impaired, theres only one way to go, and thats downhill.

But a lot of this is reversible. Just because you have chronic disease, doesnt necessarily mean youre condemned to have it forever. A change of attitude, diet and lifestyle, together with regular use of Ganoderma can and has been shown to reverse many conditions.

So now you know more about Ganoderma, do you think it could help you too?
