Protect Yourself Now It just makes sense that we should do everythingwithin our means to boost the functioning of our immune systems so that we have a better chance of successfully defending ourselves against microbial attack.We owe it to ourselves, to our families and to soci- ety towin our own individual battle against infectious disease.The tonic herbs are a real and important tool in that battle. The tonic Agaricus “God’smushroom” Agaricus blazeimurill (most common- ly known simply as Agaricus) is a mush- room that originated in the rain forests of Brazil. The mushroom thrives in certain tropical areasofChinaand theChinese have become the premier growers of Agaricus to the world. Agaricus is traditionally known as “God’s Mushroom” because people have long believed that it has near-miraculous cura- tive benefits to a wide range of disorders. People have used it to overcome numerous diseases and disorders relating to the immune system, cardiovascular system, digestion, weight management, diabetes, chronic and acute allergies, cataracts, hearing difficul- ties, stress syndrome, chronic fatigue, diar- rhea, constipation, anddisordersof the liver. It is being studied throughout the world to determine howitworks.This is for certain– herbs are not specifically preventative to any one specific disease. They aremore than “preventative.”They have non-specific health- promoting activity. They helpmake youmore ready for anything. Health beyond danger InAsia, the oldmasters said that our goal should be to attain a state known as “radiant health.” The term “radiant health” was defined as “health beyond danger.” Isn’t this the correct goal?We cannot eliminate the dangers of the world, but we can build our health to a level that it transcends most danger.We have available to us the natural tools to achieve this state of health ifwe choose to use them. It is a fact of life that, in this smallworldof the twenty first cen- tury, disease anywhere can mean disease everywhere. We do not want to wait to become a victimof a new and terrible disease and hope that conventionalmedicinewill come upwith a quick answer. Longevity and health are at least partially predicated on prepared- ness.And in this era, preparedness necessarily involves protecting ourselves proactivelyagainst infectious diseases.Weneed to protect ourselves to the best of our abilitywith tools thatwe knoware pow- erful, safe and effective. Tonic herbs fit the bill perfectly. it is a very safe herb with wonderful health benefits. Several studies have documented this mushroom’sability to activate various com- ponents of the immune system. The active constituents were identified It is very common for tonic herbs to benefit many health con- ditions,whilemedicinalherbs and drugs tend to address only a few specific symptoms and conditions. Tonic herbswork on a deep level– correcting imbalances thatare the root of many problems. As an axiom to the new paradigm of proactive immune potentiation, it is best to dismiss the western notion that one drug/herb is only good for one symptom. as the polysaccharide-protein complexes called Beta-1,6-D-glucan and an almost identical chemical, Beta-1,3-D-glucan. These glucans have been found to be remarkable immune stimulants. They are potent macrophage activators. These glucan polysaccharides work through the “glucan recep- tor” on the surface of the immensely immune cells, important the macrophages. Agaricus promotes the essential immune response process of activating the macrophage, increasing production of cytokines and generating specific antibodies (formore information see page 4). Beta-1,6-D-glucan and Beta-1,3-D- glucan have been shown to have inhibitory effects on abnormal cell growths. It has been proposed that theymay stimulate cell for more immune boosting protective formulas see page 14. lysing (destroying) action in specialized immune system cells. Agaricus mushroom has also been shown to have potent chemopreventive activity. Agaricus is nowbeing used clinically all over Asia for numerous diseases and disorders. However, it is also being con- sumed as a foodandas a tonicherb, since Agaricus is a gentle, edible mushroom that has no side effects. Agaricus mushroom is by far the rich- est natural source of Beta-1,6-D-glucan and Beta-1,3-D-glucan known to mankind. By enhancing the body’s natural defenses, this humblemushroom is a pow- erful protector. It should be consumed daily to maintain its powerful tonic effect on the immune system.
