The world renowned doctor Andrew Weil believes in the power of medicinal mushrooms. He was recently asked, on Prevention Magazine’s website, which supplements a person who needs chemotherapy and radiation to fight cancer should take. Dr. Weil pointed out that antioxidants were not the solution. This is because they don’t only protect healthy cells but also cancer cells which cancer treatments are trying to kill. Instead, Dr. Weil recommended immune system boosting supplements, such as astragalus and mushrooms, such as maitake, shiitake and reishi. They all stimulate the immune system and may limit or stop the growth of cancer cells.
