looking for additional information on diet your mom followed along with chemo. Like how often she ate mushroom along with how it¡¯s being prepared, what food to take vs not, did she take any raw foods etc. Is there a way to connect you or can you send to Kumarccdb@...
Hi Kumar,
I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply. Things have been a little crazy around here. My daughter broke her back...and then we had a long-term visitor until this Saturday. I'm finally going through my personal emails again.
I'm afraid I don't know exactly what my mom ate while she was doing chemo. I will ask her if she remembers. I just know that she has told me many times how she cooked shiitake mushrooms regularly (at least once a week) and ate them with pasta or rice -- and felt the tumor "melt" as I described in my initial reply.
I also know that she still eats her olive oil with the garlic, dried herbs (oregano and basil), and turmeric and black pepper every day. Just note that it is important to take black pepper and some kind of fat with the turmeric/curcumin to make it more bioavailable.?
Back to the mushrooms: I think capsules or tincture should work just fine and perhaps even better as they may be more concentrated. I don't know that for certain, though. At any rate, capsules or tincture would certainly be better than not taking the mushrooms at all. I see that others have mentioned other mushrooms that are also effective against cancer. Just stick to the mushrooms mentioned in this thread. I don't remember why, but my mom has told me not to eat portobello mushrooms under any circumstance. I need to ask her to remind me why that is. For now, stick to shiitake, maitake, reishi, turkey tail, (ie mushrooms specifically mentioned in this thread).?
Best wishes to you and your mom. I really hope the BP + mushrooms can help her!
