Shrooms
Lots of talk in my life recently about the value of mushrooms. Quite frankly, I’ve been amazed at how great some mushrooms can make you feel!
I didn’t grow up having parents who ate a lot of mushrooms. They were mid-west folk and ate a lot of country food. Mushrooms weren’t really on the plate that I remember…except in casseroles that called for…GAG Cream of Mushroom soup. Believe you me when we saw that gray mass of goo we thought, oh great…slug stew. But once it was incorporated into Mom’s cooking we didn’t notice.
Then when I was about 21 my girlfriend at the time put some white button mushrooms in a salad. They were so tasty! Such a pleasant coolness to them, and they had such a nice texture.
Later I was introduced to Portobello and thought I had died and gone to Heaven. Such flavor! It was one of those moments that made me feel like I had been missing out on life itself!!!
But that was it. I hadn’t heard much about medicinal mushrooms, and outside of what Mario was always after, didn’t think too much of the psycho-active types either.
Then last year I got sick. I got sick from doing a very sweet juice feast. It was easy to do this because it was cheap and easy. Those two combos never spell out good fortune I am afraid. I drank carrot, watermelon, some green juices but for the most part it was high carbohydrate and very chilled. It broke my internal thermostat. I felt cold and clammy, damp for months. I couldn’t get warm. I was lethargic. I thought, great, a year and a half raw and now this. But what I learned was that I was doing it all wrong. According to Chinese medicine, the foods I was eating were very cooling internally. An abundance of those foods leads to imbalance.
It was mushroom capsules that turned it all around for me. Personally, I think it is irresponsible to expect somebody to maintain health from drinking chilled fruit juices solely through the winter. Ultimately, my objective was to lose weight so what I should have done was to increase my activity and continue on my raw journey. Ah, but I was tempted by the fame others had by doing juice feasts since they were all the rage. I had my butt handed to me in a sling.
The mushrooms that blessed my life first were the beautiful, loving and harmonic producing Cordycep mushroom capsules. Listen I don’t give a care if you like mushrooms or not, if you feel run down, then pick these things up! They’ll deliver the sweetest sense of well being you have felt in a long time. I could go on and talk about mineralization and what not but the fact is, I can only share what I experienced. NIRVANA.
I then discovered Reishi. I’ve left the link up because they’re such a blessing if you will. Taken together with Cordyceps they form a super powerhouse of synergy. For those who dont’ know what synergy is, take the example of the 2×4’s. Alone one 2×4 supports about, and I’m guessing here, 250 lbs before it cracks. When you put another one beside it you would think that it supported another 250 lbs right? Nope, it goes up exponentially to 1500 lbs. So to with the combo of mushroom capsules. Don’t worry they don’t taste strange either and you can be on whatever and still be ok. Read the directions though ok?
So what I’m trying to say here is that mushrooms are amazing. They’re not something that a Cheshire cat sits on, and I don’t believe that they are slimy yuck yucks that came in a can, they are miracles in and of themselves and you would really do well to open your horizons to trying them out because they can change your life for the better.
Last example: Everyone last winter came down with a horrible cold, and I mean horrible. It was virulent and unrelenting in its delivery of pain and suffering. Not only that but it took forever for people to get over it. My poor wife went through hell! But me? Even in my compromised state, all I got was a slight tickling in the back of my throat as the virus tried to get a foothold. The mushrooms anti-viral properties shut.it.down. Watch this video, it covers a lot of ground and it totally substantiates the fact that your best bet against h1n1 flu isn’t that vaccine that has pig testes and human fetal tissue in it, ..it’s Red Reishi and other medicinal mushrooms.
