Ganoderma
is known among Chinese people as a "magic Herb" that can cure hundred
kinds of diseases, and it is also applied for longevity.
With selected
and high quality of Ganoderma pulverized as raw
material, Ganoderma Coffee is produced by modern technical process in a
hygienic manner that assures each batch meets high standards of quality
and purity.
The nutrient
ingredients and biological activity ingredients are
easy to be absorbed by human body, which can improve the immunity, help
in combating against tumor, confront irradiation as well as improve
circulation and lower the blood
lipid.
In
Malaysia, Ganoderma was initially cultivated in the 1980's. More
recently, hybrid cultures of Ganoderma. lucidum were used for mass
production which only
required 40 to 45 days of incubation. The
basidiocarps are sliced and brewed as a tonic or as Ganoderma coffee and
tea.
They may also be powdered or extracted with solvent to yield the
finished product which is then made into
capsules. Ganoderma nutriceuticals are used as a
remedy to treat more than 20 different illnesses which include migraine
and headache, hypertension, arthritis, bronchitis, asthma, anorexia,
gastritis, haemorrhoids,
hypercholesterolaemia, nephritis, dysmenorrhoea,
constipation, hepatitis, leukopenia, cardiovascular problems and cancer
including leukemia.
Active ingredients, which include polysaccharides, organic germanium, triterpenoids, adenosine, LZ-8, and an array of amino acids besides numerous mineral types.
Effect on Hepatitis B
Ganoderma lucidum has been shown to be effective in the treatment of Hepatitis B resulting in the lowering of SGPT and SCOT levels to normal, and the sero-conversion of HBs antigen to HE, antibody3). Extract of Ganoderma lucidum when administered concurrently with glutathione against liver damage by carbon tetrachloride, proved to be beneficial against hepatic necrosis and hepatitis). It was also discovered that extract of Ganoderma lucidum could probably augment the rate of toxin transformation and subsequent bile excretion, thereby acting as a liver detoxicant and protectant).
Effect on Diabetes
Extract of Ganoderma lucidum has also been found to be effective in reducing the blood glucose level after two months of treatments). Ganoderan B was considered to enhance glucose utilization because it increased the plasma insulin level in normal and glucose loaded mice, but did not affect the insulin binding to isolated adipocytes). The hypoglycemic activity of Ganoderma lucidum is thus due to an increase of the plasma insulin level and an acceleration of glucose metabolism occurring not only in the peripheral tissues but also in the liver.

Effect on Hypertension
Ganoderma lucidum is also effective in lowering hypertensive blood pressure. This is due to the presence of lanostane derivatives especially ganoderic acids B, D, F, H, K, S and Y which exert their hypotensive activities
Effect on Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Acute
myeloblastic leukemic patients were treated with high doses of
Ganoderma lucidum (6 capsules 3 times a day) prior to
chemotherapy and continued for a period of three
months. The chemotherapy regimen consisting of cytarabine and
daunorubicin was given on a monthly basis in order to induce remission.
CNS prophylactics was given with cranial
irradiation. All the patients had a subjective
response when Ganoderma lucidum was included in their treatment regimen.
Changes in their NBC, hemoglobin and platelet counts were either
significant or very significant after 3
months of treatment. Despite the remission for the
past 3 years, the long term prognosis seems encouraging.
Effect on Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Five
patients with stage III nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
were given 6 capsules of Ganoderma lucidum 3 times a
day for 1 week before radio-and chemotherapy and continued for a course
of 8 months while they were given a complete course of irradiation
lasting for 6 weeks. The
chemotherapy regimen consisting of cyclophosphomide,
lomustine, dannorubicin and vincristine was administered every month
for a period of 4 months. Objective response occurred in all the NPC
patients with very significant tumor
shrinkage after 40 days of treatment with Ganoderma
lucidum in concurrence with radio-and chemotherapy.
The tumors were
completely regressed after 90 days of combined treatment and were in
remission for the last three and a
half years. It is conceivable that Ganoderma lucidum
plays an important role in combination with radio- and chemotherapy,
thereby rendering the complete regression of the tumors. Since both
polysaccharides' and organic
germanium derived from Ganoderma lucidum are not
cytotoxic to tumor cells, the anti tumor effect is attributable to
induced immunopotentiation.
As an immunopotentiator, Ganoderma lucidum
accelerates the production of interlukin
from helper T cells and potentates the induction of
different types of anti-tumor cells, such as NK cells and cytotoxic
macrophages, in addition to the induction of interferon production. The
patients felt more energetic, and
had a better appetite and slept better. Nausea and
vomiting were mild whereas stomatitis and sore throat were transient.
Their pain was alleviated, and no other side effects were observed.
Effect on Wound Healing
Three patients with diabetic wounds were healed between 15 to 22 days. This might be due to the glucan from the cell walls of Ganoderma lucidum that could activate the fibroblast migration in order to achieve wound healing and tissue proliferation. Considering all these effective findings, further research on Ganoderma lucidum as a potential nutriceutical for similar illnesses or other ailments seems warranted.
Ganoderma
also adjusts the immune system to prevent viral diseases and to prevent
and fight tumor, protects and detoxifies the liver, prevents and cures
heart
diseases, slows the aging process, has a positive
effect on insomnia, is a cure for high blood pressure and to treat
diabetes, is a treatment for chronic bronchitis and asthma, has effect
on hyper susceptibility and is used as
a beauty care medicine for the skin.
The spore capsules are the traditional "Emperor's medicine" against cancer.
