Coriolus is an extract of an edible mushroom which rovides nutritional support for normal cell development
These edible mushrooms called Boletus have been used by various cultures for centuries as a food. Polyporus mushrooms, the source of Coriolus powder, are well known in both Italian and Oriental Cooking recipes.
Japanese researchers have found multiple immune stimulating polysaccharide (complex sugars) in these mushrooms. Several have been extracted and purified. These are used as medication for treating cancer, hepatitis and herpes virus infections in Japan. Use of mycological immune stimulants results in increased stimulated T-cell proliferation. T-cells or helper cells help the body fight invaders. In HIV infection there is a decrease in T-helper cells as the disease progresses to AIDS. Cytotoxic T-cells or killer cells destroy infected cells, viruses, and some bacteria. Better T-cell response to stimulation allows for an increase in the numbers (size of the army) to fight infection.
Information on the research is available on this web site at: Immunopotentiators in Cancer . The National Cancer Institute has studied these compounds and found them to be effective as stimulants of a functioning immune system in every animal sprecies tested due to their effect on T-helper cell lymphocytes.
Human studies are currently underway in England, Italy, California and Spain to evaluate the effectiveness of mycological products as immune system stimulants. Coriolus is being evaluated for treating herpes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, hepatitis C and other viral infections. Coriolus has positive effects in wasting conditions and deficiency states such as Cancer, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and severe Anemia.
