Traditional
Information* |
Maitake is another mushroom that, like Reishi, is an
immune amphoteric. It is indicated for hyper immune response
(allergies, auto-immune disease) or hypo immune activity (cancer,
HIV, CFS). Maitake lowers blood pressure and is an important
endocrine/immune tropho-restorative that enhances macrophage,
N-killer cell and T-cell activity. It has been useful in therapy for
AIDS, cancer and hypertension. Maitake's liver protecting activity
makes it an excellent part of any hepatitis protocol. |
