Green tea, Lingzhi mushroom extract combo slows sarcomas 5-19-08
A combination of the active ingredients from reishi or Lingzhi mushrooms and
green tea may be used to treat sarcoma, according to two Chinese studies by
researchers at the Pharmanex BJ Clinical Pharmacology Center in Beijing.
The studies slowed the combo slowed the growth of tumors and extended survival
time of mice with sarcomas.
A sarcoma is a cancer of the connective or supportive tissue (bone, cartilage,
fat, muscle, blood vessels) and soft tissue, according to wikipedia.
Lingzhi mushroom has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a
variety of cancers and ingredients from green tea have been known to promote
apoptosis and kill cancer cells.
In one study, researchers tested in mice with sarcoma cells injected two
products, one called ReishiMax containing high concentrations of active
ingredients from Lingzhi mushroom including polysaccharides and triterpenes or a
combination of ReishiMax and Tegreen with 98 to 99 percent made of green tea
polyphenols.
Mice that received the combo treatment lived longer than those without receiving
the combo, the researchers found.
In the second study, ReishiMax and a combination of ReishiMax and Tegreen were
given for 14 days prior to injection of sarcoma cells and two treatments
continued after injection for another 14 days.
Mice receiving the combo developed fewer tumors than those receiving only
ReishiMax. Mice treated with the combo developed 45 percent fewer tumors than
mice that received no treatment.
