CORIOLUS VERSICOLOR
Description
Coriolus
versicolor
KAWARATAKE
Commonly known as Turkey Tails, this is a hard woody fungus that can be found growing in woodlands all over the world.
Like other mushroom-derived Beta-Glucans, the polysaccharides from Coriolus act in the human body as immuno-modulators and activate the immune system to fight cancers. In repeated animal studies, Coriolus has shown activity against Sarcoma 180 in the high 90% range.
Hundreds of studies have been published on two extracts of Coriolus, which are also two of the most commonly prescribed anti-cancer medicines in the world - PSP and PSK. They are both protein-bound polysaccharides of the Beta-Glucan variety and the published research show that these extracts improve T-cell ratios, NK cell activity, and IL-2 levels. In animal studies, PSK, for example, has shown anti-tumor activity in animals with adenosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, mastocytoma, plasmacytoma, melanoma, sarcoma, carcinoma, and mammary, colon, and lung cancer.
In one controlled clinical trial of PSP, patients with esophageal cancer were given 3g/day orally in combination with chemotherapy. The patients receiving the PSP and chemotherapy had a remission rate of 72%, whereas those on chemotherapy alone had a remission rate of 42%.
