Last week we talked about Chaga Mushroom and their anti-tumor benefits. Today I’d like to extend our converation about fungi and mushrooms to Ganoderma.
Back ground
My wife and I play around with melting glass and making candles. This year we supplemented our hobby by attending craft shows at various schools in the north Atlanta area, to sell our crafts. We made gas money on the shows, but the real benefit was to meet new people who were both vendors and customers. It is very interesting what people will get into and find ways to make money on. Small business is truly the back bone of our country. One of our neighbor vendors was selling gourmet coffee and tea. Further investigation uncovered that this pre-brewed powdered coffee was not only good, but contained spores from the Ganoderma fungi. She explained that these spores provided all kinds of relief from problems including allergies and cancer. They supposedly have anti-fungal effect, liver protecting effects, antibacterial effects and aid in reducing blood cholesterol. We bought a package of the coffee from her which was close to 30 servings and should last us a month. I’m going to give it a month and see if there is any noticeable benefit. I’ll keep you informed.

Conclusions
Since I don’t want to provide any information that I can’t tell you I’m completely confident in, I don’t have a conclusion yet. All I can tell you is that I believe that there are health benefits to be had from herbs and fungi that aren’t available to us via the standard medical community. I’ll be honest with what I find, I’ve got nothing to gain by pushing a product that I’m not familiar with. As always, I encourage you to do your own research and let the Fat Farm know your personal findings. – jughandle
