1.
What is Ganoderma Nutriceutical?
Nutriceutical is especially
used to describe the function of Ganoderma this is a food or
naturally occurring food supplement thought to have a beneficial
effect on human health.
2. Can
Sunchih be taken with Western medications?
Yes. Lingzhi itself is a
natural fungal product, and Sunchih is the concentrated form of the
active polysaccharide extracts. It will not produce any adverse
reactions with either Chinese herbal remedies or Western
medicine.
3. Why do
some people develop symptoms such as a dry mouth, irritability and
constipation after taking Lingzhi?
This can be explained by the
body reaction (not side effect) of taking Lingzhi or simply as a
natural process of illness reversal. Lingzhi improves one's health
state, replenishes fluids and electrolytes and enhances the
detoxification process. Therefore, one should not worry if symptoms
begin to appear.
If the paradoxical effects are particularly severe, discontinuing
the supplement is recommended for a short time. After that intake
may be resumed with plenty of water and fluids until the effects
have decreased. When that occurs, you are on the path to
recovery.
4.
Under what circumstances is not recommended
for taking Lingzhi?
Lingzhi is not
recommended under some circumstances. It is a misconception
that Lingzhi causes adverse effects. Adverse effects may arise
while taking Lingzhi because some people are unaware of certain
contraindications.
These contraindications
include:
•People who have severe
allergic reactions to mushroom should not take Lingzhi: It
is very rare for people to develop a rash with Lingzhi, but skin
rashes and itchiness do occur. In those who suffer mildly from
allergies, Lingzhi can be taken for 2-3 days until the allergy
clears up. If the situation is severe, one should stop taking the
supplement under all circumstances.(eg other allergic reactions are
pollen, seafood, chocolate.)
•Lingzhi should not be taken
immediately before or after surgical operations. We
recommend to stop using Ganoderma product about 1 weeks before and
after the surgery.
•Patients who have undergone
organ transplant operations should not take Lingzhi as it
actually enhances immunity against foreign substances. In this
case, the transplanted organ is at risk.
•Patients who have had a severe
haemorrhage associated with surgical trauma, should avoid
Lingzhi.
5.
What is Ganoderma Spores
Powder?
Spores (Powder) are seeds that are produced and released by the
Lingzhi Plant or Fruit Body once it reaches maturity; usually
5 - 7 months.
6. Is
it true that all species of Lingzhi Plant can produce Spores
Powder?
Yes, all species of Lingzhi Plant can produce Spores Powder. But
the quantity of the spores that are produced by most, if not all
species of common Plant Lingzhi is very miniscule. Only
the species that are specially cultured from a species known as
Ganoderma Lucidum can produce the said Spores in great
profusion.
7. Why
is it that Spores Powder is unknown or unfamiliar to many
people?
This is because Spores Powder is a fairly new "discovery". And
Spores produced by common species or rather wild Lingzhi plant are
too miniscule to be viable for commercial production.
Furthermore, the ravaging rain and wind also exacerbated this
situation by damaging and scattering the Spores that were released.
Hence, there was never any mentioned of the said Spores as having
been used for healing in the authoritative ancient Pharmacopoeia
"Sheng Nong Pern T'sao Jing". It was only until recently when new
species of "Spores" Lingzhi plant that can
produce Spores in profusion was successfully cultured and grown
that now made it possible for Spores Powder to be made available on
a commercial scale.
8. How
are Spores released from the Lingzhi Plant?
Once the Lingzhi Plant or Fruit Body reaches maturity (usually 5 -
7 months), and if the condition is favorable, the Spores are
expelled or ejected out from the thousands of tiny pore-like
openings which are located at the underside of the fruit body. This
process goes on from 5 to 10 days.
9. How
are Spores processed?
They are first sieved to remove foreign matters. Then they are
dried in a low temperature dryer. After that the "husk" or covering
of the Spores are split open using ultra-sound process. Once
sterilized, they are packed and ready for the market. As the
temperature inlvoved in the drying process is very low, all
the inherent curative properties of the Spores still remain
intact.
10.Why is it
necessary to break or split open the Spores?
Like in all species of plant, the Spores or seeds of lingzhi Plant,
for natural preservation, are tough and resilient. As such, the
seed or Spores in its original form would be difficult to digest or
assimilated by the body system. That is why it is necessary to
break open the covering of the Spores to facilitate absorption of
the essence within.
11.Why is that Spores
Powder has so much greater efficacy than that of the Fruit
Body?
Firstly, Spores Powder is endowed by nature with an inherent
efficacy that is many times greater than that of the Fruit Body.
Secondly, Spores Powder requires no processing, apart from the
necessity to break open the Spores outer covering. Spores therefore
remains "a natural product" without suffering any loss of its
natural curative properties; which as a matter of fact,
constitute nature's medicinal formula with extremely high
curative properties. As for the Fruit Body, nature has
endowed it with less curative power than that of the Spores Powder.
Furthermore since it needs to undergo various processing before it
could be consumed, it inevitably loses many of the important trace
elements, which are essential to assisting in the healing process.
Hence, the efficacy of Spores Powder is so much greater.
12.Which are the
medical institutions or hospitals that have conducted tests on the
Spores Powder?
These institutions or hospitals are : China Medical Research
Center, Beijing Medical Research Center, Beijing Medical
University, Beijing Kwang Aun Men Hospital, Beijing Tung Che Men
University, Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital, etc.
13.What are the
medicinal ingredients found in Spores Powder & how do they help
my body system?
Spores Powder contains 4 main ingredients, namely: [a]
Polysaccharides [b] Germanium [c] Triterpene Compound [d]
Nuchleoside Compound. Besides these four main components, Spores
Powder also contains 17 types of amino acids, alkaloids, soya
bean protein, sterols, counmaric essence, glycoside, vitamins,
enzymes, 13 essential minerals like kalium, lithium, zinc,
chromium, calcium, molybdenum, magnesium, nickel, manganese and
sodium, etc. It is in fact a treasure house of nutrients and
a veritable nature's medicinal formula that are crucial and
invaluable to human health.
14.Has any clinical test
been conducted using Spores powder?
Extensive and intensive testing had been conducted by Xian City No.
2, No. 4 & No. 8 hospitals, Tienjing City No. 2 Central
Hospital, Guong Zhou Military District No. 177 Hospital &
Shanxi Country China Herbal Research Centre. The testing involved
(a) the effect of Spores Powder.
15.What is the difference
between Spores Powder and other Traditional Herbs?
Most of the traditional or western medicines/drugs act specifically
on a particular ailment. For example, in treating, say, a diabetic
patient, the herb or drug used would be specifically
meant for the treatment of the said ailment and nothing
else. It would have no effect at all in treating ailments involving
the lungs, Liver, stomach, the nervous system or blood disorder,
etc.
As for Spores Powder, its action is "non-specific"
and wide ranging. It is in fact, an adaptogen and it acts by
stimulating and harnessing the various body's own immune system and
antibodies to effect a self-healing process. As such,
every part of the organ or rather the whole body would benefit from
its "adaptogenic" action. This is in consonance with the
ChineseFu Zhen (total support) principle of effecting
healing.
16.Is it necessary to
stop taking the Spores Powder, once I have been cured or recovered
from my ailments?
The decision is yours. But before you decide, consider this. Your
body system, besides been subjected to "wear and tear", is also
under constant "attack" by various infectious virus or bacteria; no
to mention the many carcinogenis pollutants & pathogens, etc.,
that are in the food and in the air, etc. Once your immune system
is "down", your body will succumb to any one of the above
deleterious factors; which could be serious or even life
threatening. As such, it would be prudent to take Spores Powder on
a regular basis to build-up and maintain strong immune system as a
preventive measure. After all the cost would not burn a hole in
your pocket. This is of particular importance, if your are frail in
health and are suffering from some form of health anomaly, etc., or
you are at an age where your body is starting to
deteriorate.
17.I am quite fit
now, do I still need to take the Spore Powder?
The answer is YES. You may be quite fit now, but what about the
future? Fitness does not equate good health. If you could really
see the inside of your body; you would most certainly not fail to
see the relentless attack your vital organs like liver, kidney and
lungs, etc., are constantly been subjected to by myriad of
bacteria, viruses and carcinogenic and patthogenic elements, etc.
Then in all probability, you would either, on your own volition or
be compelled to take the necessary and proper preventive action to
help support and defend your organs against such merciless attacks.
If not, overtime, one or more of your organs will invariably
"give-way" and succumb to these relentiess assaults with very
serious consequence to your health, That is why it would be prudent
to take Spore Powder regularly to augment, strengthen and maintain
a strong immune system, etc., as a preventive measure.
18.If I were to take
Spores Powder regularly, will I ever become sick?
Although Spores Powder helps stimulate and harness your body's own
immune system and antibodies to give you a strong constitution to
stave-off many types of illnesses etc., it does not however mean
that you will be totally immune from been sick. Here is one reason
: Some viruses such as Rhinoviruses that cause cold can mutate into
hundreds of strains, so if your immune system have not developed or
process the right type of antibody defenses that can tackle the
particular strain of virus, you will succumbed fall sick. (That's
why there is no total immune or cure for cold). However, if you had
been regularly taking Spores Powder your immune system would have
been well reinforced and your body system would quickly respond and
develop the appropriate antibody defense to "tackle" the saidstrain
of virus. You would also recover much faster; without having to
suffer the fukk effect of the flu attack, as you would, if your
immune system is weak.
19.There have been
cases, albeit a very small number, where people who are said to
have been taking Spores Powder but have not responded or cured of
their ailments. Why is it so?
Under normal circumstances there should be some improvements after
consumption of Spores Powder. However, for some, they may need to
take Spores Powder continuously over an extended period before they
could get any respond. A minority may not get any respond at all
for the following reasons. [a] Irregularity in taking of Spores
Powder. [b] Ineffective or low dosage of consumption. [c]
Discontinuing consumption when experiencing cure or adjustment
reaction. (Refer C on "Healing Crisis") [d] Due to lack of reat
(sleep) and sufficient good nourishment. [e] Severity and prolong
illness coupled with the use of too many other drugs which result
in the incomplete cleansing of the body of toxins. [f] Lack of
faith and perseverance. [g] Undue and negative influence by others
that result in discontinuance. & [h] Deterioration of the body
system to a level where Spores Powder could not have any
significant effect.
Reader should be reminded that Spores Powder, is not a "Panacea" or
an "all curing" herb. Clinical tests conducted by various Hospitals
and Universities in China registered a cure rate of just 87.5%.
This figure can be considered to be quite spectacular considering
that some of the ailments cured were life threatening in nature.
For those who are presently suffering from ailments, these should
be enough encouragement for them to give themselves a chance and
use Spores Powder to aid in their healing.
20.Apart from Spores
Powder, are there any other health products such as Ginseng or
similar herbal preparations, etc., that can also help in the
healing and maintenance of health?
Ginseng preparations and numerous other herbal and some non-herbal
preparations have also the capability in effecting healing and
contributing to the maintenance of health. This is because most of
these herbs too contain ingredients such as Polysaccharide and/or
Germanium, etc. But when you compare all these products with Spores
Powder in terms of [a] the degree of their efficacy or
concentration of the various ingredients/nutrients vis-a-vis the
Spores Powder. And [b] The price of value-for-money factors
relative to their respective efficacy, etc., you will no doubt be
convinced that Spores Powder would be your best choice. That is why
since ancient time Lingzhi had been touted and acknowledged as the
Number one herb of the "Upper Class*", surpassing even that of
Ginseng in terms of curative power by the authoritative "Sheng Nong
Pern Tsao Jing", an ancient Chinese Pharmacopoeia. With the recent
discovery of Lingzhi Spores Powder makes it a much more portent
herb.
