Cancer remains a very serious problem across the United States. The National Cancer Institute has reported that based on the latest statistics from 2006-2008, 41.21% of men and women born today will be diagnosed with cancer of all sites at some time during their lifetime. The New York State Department of Health reports cancer incidence for Syracuse at a rate of 671.6 per 100,000 males and 384.4 per 100.000 females for all invasive malignant tumors from 2004-2008. People afflicted with cancer in this community as elsewhere are often searching for natural treatments for cancer due to the side effects associated with orthodox treatments.
Dr. Victor Marchione has reported for The Doctors Health Press "Another Cancer-fighting Mushroom Revealed." Potential natural cancer cures are all around us. It is sometimes discovered that certain properties of one plant, mixed with abilities of a distant herb, may hold the key to killing cancer permanently. Researchers in Denmark have recently explored a mushroom and found that it contains some substances which are toxic toward cancer cells.
Many substances have already been found in fungi which have been registered as drugs to support chemotherapy treatments for cancer. These substances include the shiitake mushroom, which is the primary ingredient in a Japanese cancer-fighting drug. In Denmark, non-poisonous mushrooms have been primarily used as food. The researcher began to screen poisonous Danish mushrooms in order to determine if any could be used in natural medicine.
