Director Lu Di of "China Cancer Treatment and Protection Network" believes that the autoimmune function is low or disordered , is an important reason why tumors occur, spread, metastasize and are difficult to cure. Ganoderma lucidum is the best immune function regulator and activator. It can significantly improve the body's immune function and enhance the patient's own ability to prevent and fight cancer.
Ganoderma lucidum can promote the production of endogenous anti-cancer substances such as interleukin-2, promote the phagocytosis function of monocytes and macrophages, and improve the body's hematopoietic ability, especially the level of white blood cells. , and through the inhibitory effect of some of its active ingredients on cancer cells, it has become the preferred drug for anti-tumor, anti-cancer and auxiliary cancer treatment. Ganoderma lucidum has almost no toxic side effects on the human body. This non-toxic immune activator has the advantage that many tumor chemotherapy drugs and other immune promoters do not have.
2. Liver protection and detoxification
Ganoderma lucidum has a protective effect on liver damage caused by various physical, chemical and biological factors. Whether before or after liver damage occurs, taking Ganoderma lucidum can protect the liver and reduce liver damage. Ganoderma lucidum can promote the liver's metabolism of drugs and poisons, and has a definite effect on toxic hepatitis. Especially for chronic hepatitis, Ganoderma lucidum can significantly eliminate symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and liver discomfort, and can effectively improve liver function and normalize various indicators. Therefore, Ganoderma lucidum can be used to treat chronic poisoning, various types of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver dysfunction.
3. Effect on the cardiovascular system
Animal experiments and clinical trials have shown that Ganoderma lucidum can effectively expand coronary arteries, increase coronary blood flow, improve myocardial microcirculation, and enhance The supply of myocardial oxygen and energy, therefore, has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia and can be widely used in the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc. For patients with hyperlipidemia, Ganoderma lucidum can significantly reduce blood cholesterol, lipoproteins and triglycerides, and prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
For those who have already formed atherosclerotic plaques, it can reduce the cholesterol content of arterial walls, soften blood vessels, and prevent further damage. It can also improve local microcirculation and prevent platelet aggregation. These effects have good preventive and therapeutic effects on various types of stroke.
4. Anti-aging effect
The polysaccharides and polypeptides contained in Ganoderma lucidum have obvious anti-aging effects. This effect is mainly based on the following mechanism:
1. Promote and adjust immune function. For adults and the elderly, this promotion and adjustment can significantly delay aging. For children and adolescents who are in the growth and development stage, it can promote the improvement of their immune function, enhance their disease resistance, and ensure their healthy growth.
2. Regulate metabolic balance and promote the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins. Research shows that Ganoderma lucidum can promote the biosynthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in serum, liver and bone marrow, so it can effectively fight diseases and prevent aging. Observations have shown that taking Ganoderma lucidum for anti-aging is not only beneficial to the elderly, but also applicable to people of working age, because the process of growth and development is the process of aging.
3. Anti-free radical effect. The decrease in endogenous antioxidants or antioxidant enzymes (such as superoxide dismutase, SOD) produced by organisms to defend against free radical damage is a cause of human aging. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide has significant SOD-mimicking activity, which can significantly scavenge free radicals produced by the body, thereby preventing free radicals from damaging the body, preventing peroxidation of liposomes, protecting cells, and delaying cell aging.
4. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide can significantly promote DNA synthesis in the nucleus and increase the number of cell division generations, thereby delaying the aging of the body.
5. Anti-neurasthenia effect
Ganoderma lucidum has been used for neurasthenia and insomnia, so it has a good effect on the central nervous system. The extract can stimulate motility inhibition, reduce motility, cause coordinated movement disorders, and exhibit dose-dependent antiseptic effects. The sleep effect of cyclobarbital can shorten sleep time, and can prolong the spasm and death caused by caffeine, a central stimulant. time, these results indicate that Ganoderma lucidum has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system.
It is reported that Ganoderma lucidum preparations have significant effects on neurasthenia and insomnia, with a total effective rate of 87.14 to 100.
