 Medical Mushrooms for Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s, & Bowel Diseases

Medical Mushrooms Rx

Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s, and all health problems with the bowel and small intestines.

Note: There is a different recommended blend for various autoimmune illnesses. The following blend can also be adjusted for those with multiple additional problems.

We have had some impressive results with the following mushroom blends and herbs. Expect subtle results to start in about 1 week, building as you continue taking them, with an average of 3 weeks for results to begin. You should continue to notice more and more improvement. Keeping things in “check” so to speak, is the goal and to stop the relentless symptoms of these difficult, often seemingly, neverending flares.

The best news it that because the medicinal mushrooms are modulators and adaptogens, they can be taken ongoing. Within the next year, we will expect to see a reduction in our customers flares from autoimmune imbalances. The best thing about these modulators is that if the immune system is low, it will raise it, if high it will lower it. The adaptogen herbs along with the right medicinal mushroom, will help maintain this balance while they feed the entire body, like a tonic, where everything works together– like an orchestra.

Medical Mushrooms for UC, Crohn’s and Bowel Illnesses

Base Blend 

3 oz. Blend (8 days) 5 grams 2 x daily
Contains: Maitake, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane

Alternate to other mushrooms as well if you prefer. Cordyceps acts as a natural antibiotic and it kills candida yeast. If you are on an immune suppressive drug, the Turkey Tail and Cordyceps will also help offer some protection against lymphoma and a congested lymphatic system. If the upper GI is a problem, such as gastritis, small intestine involvement, change a mushroom out in the mix and include Chaga, Lion’s Mane and/or Phellinus. The combinations are all helpful.

Adaptogen Herbs

Adaptogen Herbs- these should be and can be taken daily and ongoing without a break. All of these have a tonic effect on the whole body as well. Usually a mixture of 2 or 3 is enough and then take a teaspoon every day in hot water as a tea, or dissolve into a tea such as green tea or an herbal tea.

Choose from any of these;
Astragalus Root
Ashwagandha Root
Cat’s Claw
Rhodiola Root
Ginger Root (except with bloody stools)
Ginseng Panax
Licorice Root
Green Tea
Turmeric
Jiaogulan

A mushroom called Agaricus Blazei

Agaricus Blazei is a mushroom we are striving to get into the store for bowel problems. It is not that it isn’t out there, it is just not out there with acceptable lab analysis. This mushroom is testing high for heavy metals and when we are able to secure an acceptable powder, we will absolutely be adding it into the inventory. We have capsules for the meantime that are tested and proven to be free of the heavy metals. The strength is not what we want but this is the best we can offer for now. I would further, encourage anyone with a bowel disorder, especially those with Ulcerative Colitis, to include 3 Agaricus Blazei capsules daily. They can be taken with the powder mix of your Medical Mushroom Rx blend.
