Medicinal preparations of birch mushroom act as active biogenic stimulants. They strengthen the immune system, enhance the body's cellular defenses, stimulate the central nervous system, and improve metabolism.
And that's not all. Birch mushroom enhances brain activity and acts on the brain in the most beneficial way, because it activates the metabolism in the brain tissue - and the brain starts working much more actively.
With poor metabolism, sluggish digestion, birch mushroom is also effective. It renews enzyme processes if they are too slow. The cardiovascular and respiratory systems literally come alive under the influence of chaga. Birch mushroom is known to be used successfully in the fight against psoriasis.
Chaga preparations are used in patients with peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, chronic liver disease, with tumors.
Chaga contains up to 12.3% ash and a large amount of potassium, which determines its high radioactivity. In addition, polyphenols, oxalic, formic, acetic, butyric, vanillic, paraoxybenzoic acids, two triterpene acids, pterins, lignin, fiber, sterols - ergosterol, lanosterol, inotodiol - were found in chaga. It is established that in the initial stages of cancer preparations of chaga can delay tumor growth, reduce pain, improve the general well-being of patients, but are not a radical means of treatment of malignant formations. The positive effect of chaga preparations in tumor process is explained by the pterins present in them, which have cytostatic action.
In addition, birch mushroom contains magnesium and potassium, which relieve swelling and regulate heart activity. And manganese, which chaga is also rich in, makes our body's enzyme system work optimally.
Of particular value is the ash contained in chaga, which includes oxides of aluminum, iron, silicon, potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese, zinc and sodium. In chaga found also necessary for our body oxalic, acetic, formic, vanillic and other acids.
The polyphenolic complex is believed to provide the antioxidant properties of chaga. Micronutrients are involved in the regulation and activation of enzyme systems.
To study the healing properties of chaga, scientists conducted medical experiments on mice and rats. At the same time, its anticarcinogenic and antitumor effects were revealed. Animals were artificially inoculated with a tumor and treated with chaga tincture. In some animals the tumors dissolved without a trace, in more severe cases their further development was slowed down and the life span of the unfortunate subjects was increased. And it has also been observed that tincture of chaga removes the phenomena of intoxication, which is accompanied by any tumor process.
Studies link the antitumor effect of chaga to the strong antioxidants contained in it - the very same polyphenols. They inhibit the effects of environmental carcinogens and significantly reduce the risk of breast, stomach, lung, colon, liver and pancreatic cancers.
Available in the composition of birch mushroom magnesium, potassium, copper, along with acids strengthen the walls of blood vessels and have a strong antibacterial effect. Chaga is high in zinc, and zinc has anti-carcinogenic property.
Birch mushroom has a very high concentration of catechins, which inhibit substances that cause cell mutation. The most biologically active of these is EGCG acid. Its antioxidant properties are many times stronger than those of vitamins E and C.
Clinical observations have not only been made on animals. Chaga has been tested on patients with stage IV cancer, when the tumor has already metastasized to neighboring organs and continues to grow. In such cases, it is too late for surgical treatment and chemotherapy.
The study involved 200 patients with lung, stomach, esophageal, and breast cancer. When using chaga infusion, patients, regardless of the location of the tumor, with the exception of extremely emaciated, improved general condition, mood, increased appetite. After long term use, half of the patients had increased hemoglobin counts and decreased ROE. Tumor growth slowed down and metastasis was no longer as active. Of course, the positive effect of chaga depended on the condition of the cancer patient and the duration of treatment.
The researchers noted that the action of chaga consists of two phases. The first phase is already felt within the first weeks (except in extremely severe cases) - the patient feels a clear improvement in well-being. The second phase is a slow-motion phase. It is detected after one and a half to two years and slows down the development of the tumor.
Chaga has another wonderful property - it significantly reduces pain syndrome in cancerous tumors, sometimes to the point of complete disappearance. Prolonged treatment with chaga much lengthens the life of patients if taken continuously.
If treated with chaga for a short time, about six months, the improvement will only be visible - the tumor continues to metastasize. But if you have patience and continue taking the drug, after the improvement of health comes a slowing down of the cancer process and its spread, and therefore, an increase in life expectancy.
On patients with esophageal cancer, chaga first acts as a tonic, causing a marked improvement in health and well-being. The pain sensation is either greatly reduced or disappears altogether.
Studies have confirmed the valuable properties of chaga, used for many years by folk medicine..
