Ganoderma lucidum

First known to the ancient Chinese, this wonderful fungus has the ability to heal our bodies in many ways. There are legends that say that in ancient China the emperor valued this mushroom so much that there were more Chinese in the forest looking for it, than defending the Chinese wall. True or not, the fact is that it already has 2025 scientific research available in PubMed (US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health) and is known to help: regulate the immune system, reduce cholesterol, protect the liver, present antioxidants, coadjugate in chemotherapies and even reduce cancerous tumors.

Actualmente se lo cultiva a nivel industrial, y se lo puede conseguir en varias partes del mundo para comenzar a consumirlo por sus beneficios.

What do you mean by:

even reduce cancerous tumors

Does it make it smaller or disappear altogether?

Smaller... In pubmed there are many studies not in humans, but in experimental animals. You can find studies like this: "Recombinant FIP-gat, a Fungal Immunomodulatory Protein from Ganoderma atrum, Induces Growth Inhibition and Cell Death in Breast Cancer Cells" (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26996414). Experiences in humans can be found on blogs like this (https://healingreishi.wordpress.com/reishi-brain-tumours/) that comment on the reduction of a tumor from 5 cm to 1 cm. Also in pets, I personally know the case of a dog that suffered from bladder cancer and that her veterinarian noticed a reduction in his tumor. The most notorious improvement in this case was that the dog bled every time he pee and from the first month of taking Ganoderma he stopped bleeding.
