Happy April fools
Did you know plants like to fool as well one of the most common known ones is the co**se flower. It has a large beautiful flower that is rare to see bloom, but if you do plug your nose. It smells like rotting flesh. This is to attract insects to the flower. They are expecting something to eat and instead finding a flower.

3 well studied Mushrooms for Cancer : Turkey Tail, Reishi, Chaga. These are not the only mushrooms they have experimented with, but seem to be the best. They are often used to supplement other cancer treatments and have had some really great results. They have made the cancer treatment more effective and lessen the Chemotherapy side effects.

Most mushrooms that have been studied have at least some immune modulating effect. It is thought that the primary molecule for this effect is in the cell walls of the mushroom.
Learn more at our class on April 12th.

Some scientists say we share 50% or our DNA with mushrooms.
Mushrooms can even repair human DNA. One reason a cell becomes cancer is that the caner cell has damaged DNA. That DNA damage causes the cell to no initiate apoptosis. In some cancer research it appears that some mushrooms like Chaga, Trukey Tail, and Reishi (tho many more are suspected to have similar effect) can cause the caner cells to initiate apoptosis.
I don't know of anything other than mushrooms that can do that.
Mushrooms are amazing !

Mushrooms are fascinating. They have there own kingdom because they are so distinctly different from animals or plants. Fungi existed long before there were plants or animals on land. Some can even thrive in outer space. It is no wonder that they can be so healing with such a rich history and resiliency.

Make sure to sign up for class on Saturday and Sunday this weekend
