Maitake Magic — Maitake Mushroom Fractions:
Capture the Force of Nature's Amazing Powerful Immune Boosters, Cancer Protectors and Metabolic Activators
By HARRY PRUESS, M.D. AND SENSUKE KONNO, PH.D. $15.95

Mushrooms have been revered as both food and medicine in the orient for thousands of years, and modern research in Japan and the U.S. has documented their healing benefits. Though currently less well-known than shiitake and reishi, maitake may be the most potent and versatile of all mushrooms with nutraceutical value, according to research conducted during the past two decades. Until now, no book has covered the health implications of this research in depth.

In Maitake Magic, two leading maitake researchers elucidate the mushroom's diverse biological activity and potential benefits in cancer prevention/therapeutics and glucose/insulin management. The authors describe how maitake D-fraction, an extract containing broad-spectrum beta glucans, activates cellular immunity to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis but also induces apoptosis (cancer cell death). Prominent physicians also provide clinical information on this natural remedy for reducing cancer risk and lowering high cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body weight.

Maitake Magic is the definitive work for complimentary health practitioners as well as laypersons involved in self-managed care who wish to incorporate the unique benefits of maitake.
