Agaricus blazei Murrill is a medicinal mushroom, a popular food that has low calorie content and is mineral rich. It contains important fibers, vitamins and amino acids.¹
In Brazil, they call it Cogumelo do sol or medicinel and in Japan they call is Himematustake, Agarikusutake or Kawarihiratakes. In China, it is known as Ji Song Rong. All over the world people are using this wonderful mushroom for food and health.²
The mushroom originates in Piedade, a small village in the Atlantic forest near Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 1960, a Japanese researcher named Takatoshi Furumoto discovered it and sent it to Japan in 1965 for study.
However there are a large number of people for whom there are no allopathic treatments or for whom the available therapies are either poorly tolerated or even partially helpful. A physician who has the knowledge to help these patients is working with a tremendous advantage in regards to the Agaricus blazei mushrooms. In fact the following people will benefit greatly from the Agaricus blazei mushrooms due to the active ingredients beta-1,3-glucans and/or beta-1,6-glucans: people with an impaired or suppressed immune system from any cause; those with a high occurrence of infectious diseases, including colds and flu; people with allergies or skin conditions; those over the age of 40 when the immune system starts to slow down due to the natural process of aging; those affected by the extra free radical production from external sources such as UV radiation, electromagnetic fields, poor nutritional habits and toxic chemicals; professional and amateur athletes or anyone who works out intensively; and those under severe physical or emotional stress.
There is no known reason to avoid this herb other than an allergy to mushrooms; in fact, no side effects have been reported in Japan where the product has been in use as a dietary supplement for over eight or so years. If there are any side effects, the most common side effect of other mushroom products are nausea and an upset stomach
