Types Of Medical Mushrooms For Treating

Chronic Fatigue & Treating Fibromyalgia

Reishi mushroom  Medicinal Mushrooms For Treating Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue

Reishi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are amazing fungi as it contains over two hundred unique and active ingredients that are obtainable from any know plant source. For fibromyalgia suffers Reishi is best taken as an extract because it can be difficult to digest in its woody form. It is a power house antioxidant with antimicrobial action that can take on bacteria, viruses, stimulating the immune system, and calming the autonomic nervous system.


Reishi mushrooms are particularly effective for fibromyalgia due to the fact that it helps reduce spasticity in muscles, Irritable bowel syndrome, Colitis, Ulcers, bronchial spasms, and it helps the liver detoxify waste.

Cordyceps sinensis (Dong chong xia cao) It has a funny name, the Caterpillar fungus, that is resulting from the fact that it can crow on caterpillars. It is not as well known or researched as some other mushroom species, but Cancer Research UK suggests that it may be helpful in treating cancer patients, AIDS patients, and immune suppressed patients.  It contains active polysaccharides and sterols, and studies show that cordyceps sinensis usefulness may be derived from its enhancement of cell-mediated immunity capabilities and its ability to savage free radical oxygen while supporting cellular bioenergy systems.  It’s capability to increase oxygen uptake makes it useful for asthma suffers, bronchial inflammation, allergies, and many athletes use it to perform at peak lung capacity.
Cordyceps sinensis has been found to help relieve anxiety, treat insomnia, increase energy, enhance the immune system, and to clear toxins from the kidneys, lungs, and lymph nodes. Many fibromyalgia patients find that it is useful for treating fatigue, exhaustion, and provides energy and increased stamina.

Maitake Mushrooms (Grifola frondosa)- Contain protein-bound polysaccharides that provide amazing immune system fortification.  Many AIDS patients find that it can slow down the progression of the debilitating disease. Maitake mushrooms as well have shown to provide;  anti- cancer properties  that can reduce tumors, reduce chemotherapy side effects, lower blood pressure, stabilize blood sugars in diabetics, and decrease inflammation in joints.


Shiitake Mushrooms (Lentinus edodes) have been studied and found to be very beneficial in reducing inflammatory conditions, dermatitis, liver cirrhosis, vascular sclerosis, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol.  In fact in 2002 The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine printed that Japanese researchers had proven that Shitake mushrooms lowered cholesterol.
Other studies go back and forth whether it has antitumor capabilities that inhibit the growth of certain types of cancer, but there are other studies that show it is useful in treating chronic fatigue symptoms, and fibromyalgia.


Poria cocas Mushrooms (Fu ling) is included into many herbal formulas, and is noted for providing relaxation of the nervous system acting as a natural relaxant, and anti anxiety compound. It also works on smooth muscles of the digestive tract aiding in digestion, absorption of nutrients, reduces diarrhea, relieves spastic colon symptoms, regulates blood glucose, and its tonic properties help alleviate edema, offer diuretic properties as well.

Possible Toxicities and Precautions

Is There Medical Evidence That Mushrooms Work?

So, are medicinal mushrooms a natural wonder or are the claims over blown?

Studies show that mushrooms do provide many medical properties. With a 4,000 year old Chinese history medicinal mushrooms are still used today in Asian culture. Western medicine may not be far behind, as researchers use modern technology to discover the inner workings that are the core compounds that offer hope in treating a myriad of conditions.

As I have had some comments on posts being too long,  I will follow up with another post listing the most important and effective medicinal mushrooms for treating fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue; Reishi mushrooms, Maitake Mushrooms, Shiitake Mushrooms, and Poria cocas Mushrooms.

I highly recommend checking out Kalyx  natural on line market. The site is not pretty, but their selection of herbs, teas, oil, spices, foods, vitamins, and so much  more has every herb, spice, and vitamin you can imagine.  The great thing is the prices are cheap, and many of the natural can be be bought in bulk if you find something that works to treat your fibromyalgia.

Dr. Mark Shaw has a program that encompasses many components to being pain free, you may want to check it out, and see if it might be a fit for you. His book Beat Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue has help many fibromalgia pain suffers.

Acupuncture Fibromyalgia

  • Originated and founded in Eastern medicine thousands of years ago, it has been used successfully to treat pain, and clear energy pathways called meridians. Acupuncture helps balance the meridians that link the nervous system to our internal organs. Many Fibromyalgia sufferers find that acupuncture stimulates their own body’s endorphins, creating natural pain relief freeing them from the debilitating effects of constant pain.

Biofeedback

  • Biofeedback can use special devices that help individuals achieve a state a relaxation by training them to control their heart rate, reduce blood pressure and muscle tension levels. Training is done by a professional.

Chiropractic Medicine and Proper Body Support

  • Chiropractic adjustments can help many sufferers treat headaches, back problems, and maintain proper spine alignment. It has been found that there is a connection between the spine, and the nervous system, keeping the spine well aligned may help prevent neurological problems associated with impeded nerve signals.
  • Use pillow for support. Keep pillows on the couch, in your car, in the bed, anywhere you will be spending any amount of time. Pillows behind the back, under your arms, under your legs, prop pillows where support is needed.
  • Use proper body mechanics for getting out of the bed, or off the couch. Roll to your side when getting out of bed.
  • Scoot to the edge of chairs when getting up, and then use your legs, and arms to push up. Keep back straight.

Counseling

  • Living with fibromyalgia can be very difficult, at times it may feel as if you are going crazy, and the pain eats at your emotional well being isolating you from friends, family, and other social venues.  It is helpful to have someone to share your feelings whether it be a trained professional or a support group.

Fibromyalgia Exercise

Stretching, Body mechanics- Flexibility- I have found a very simple device to be highly effective and easy to use. They are called resistance bands, and they can help you target, and gently stretch and strengthen your muscles. You can buy resistance bands online, or in your local store. The online resistance bands come are better made, and come with door hooks that are vital to proper use. These simple, but effictive bands work for any fitness level, and you find see the different types of exercises that can be done by visiting Bodylstics.

Fibromyalgia exercises can include: Walking, swimming, tai chi, resistance bands, bicycling (electric bikes are great for fibromyalgia), dancing, yoga, and more.


Hot or Cold Therapy

  • Moist heat or dry heat to painful muscles, increases blood supply, and increases oxygen, relaxes muscle spasms, helps relieve pain, and helps maintain range of motion.
  • Cold therapy-This helps relieve swelling of painful joints, decrease pain, and calms muscle spasms.Cold treatments might include the use of  ice packs, frozen vegetables, crushed ice pack mixed with rubbing alcohol frozen, after is comes to the slushy stage place it on the area of your pain using a light covering over the skin.
  • Heat Therapy – treatments can include moist heat: soaking in warm water, warming wet towels, or using a hot water bottle. Dry heat can include heat packs, using a heating pad for a limited amount of time; in addition some sufferers find that using an electric blanket work for soothing the pain, and achiness.
  • Paraffin Wax – is also used by dipping your hand in a paraffin bath.  You may also find relief by alternating heat and cold water bath treatments.
  • Safety precautions should always to when working with heat and cold treatments on bare skin.

Hypnosis- Guided Imagery – Meditation

  • Hypnosis is a simple and easy way to reprogram the brains way of thinking, and can be used in this manner to help the brain’s pain perception. Many times when the pain starts we begin our brain goes on alert and our tension levels increase, as well as our anxiety. The more anxious we become the more we focus on the pain. Using self hypnosis, and breathing exercises you can teach your brain to stop the anxiety, and remain calm. This really is an amazing tool that is underutilized due to hypnosis being seen as a stage trick, or show. Hypnosis has been used by therapists, and in Eastern medicine and studies prove it works. Meditation and hypnosis should be a part of every fibromyalgia sufferer’s daily routine. I recommend Hypnoworld.com, or Hypnosis.org.

Magnetic Therapy

  • Magnetic therapy has been used for thousands of years, but has come more into the spot light with new research and technology. Studies are showing that medical magnets work by improving blood flow and decreasing inflammation.  It has been proven to work for arthritis sufferers and fibromyalgia patients as well.  Magnetic therapy is similar to acupuncture, but without needles. It can decrease pain, and increase positive energy, and stabilizing metabolic cell function. You can find magnetic products such a bracelets, magnetic bedding, magnetic pillow, and magnetic mattress pads that fibromyalgia sufferers give high marks too.  If you suffer from arthritis you can find more information on magnetic arthritis relief using medical magnets by clicking blue links.


Fibromyalgia Massage

  • Neuromuscular Massage Increase blood supply to soft tissues, smooths nerve energy, targets the trigger points, and relaxes muscles. Find a massage therapist that understands that fibromyalgia patients have different massage needs due to the tight tender muscle sensitivity
  • Can include: Myofascial Release, Pressure Point Massage,Deep Tissue Release tension

Physical Therapy – Need A Doctors Order

  • Learn proper body mechanics, how to apply hot and cold therapy, range of motion exercises, and life style aids.


Relaxation Therapy

  • Relaxation techniques may include, guided imagery to help you focus on images that bring pleasure, prayer, hypnosis, which aids by focusing attention internally, rather than persisting with concentration on your other thoughts or anxieties. You may consider using biofeedback, which involves very sensitive electrical equipment that measures the reactions of your body, as well as the use of audio tapes for relaxation guidance. Also see hypnosis and stress relief CD’s and MP3 downloads.

Tai Chi- Quigong- Tai Chi Ball

  • Tai chi is a gentle martial art that was originally designed to prepare warriors for battle both mentally and physically. As fibromyalgia is a constant battle is makes perfect sense that this ancient art form works very well to help battle the chronic pain, and fibro fog.  It encompasses breathing techniques, gentle movements for flexibility and strength, encourages positive energy balance, and meditation. Many people find the tai chi ball and meridian balls; can add an element of strength, meditation, and mental vitality as well.
  • Any martial art will take commitment and training and does require physical exertion.

Water or Aquatic Therapy

  • Aquatic therapy is very effective for people with fibromyalgia as it does not put any weight on the joints or muscles. Exercise is very important to staying flexible, maintaining  stamina, decreasing fatigue , oxygenating the tissues, removing cellular waste, and helps maintain a your quality of life.

Yoga –Tai Chi

  • Breathing, stretching, maintains a positive flow of energy, socialization, relaxation, meditation, and muscle strength.


Utilize Support Groups as a means of education, and support. You are not alone, although it feels like it as you cocoon yourself in your bed, or on the couch due to your chronic pain, and fatigue. You know the saying “Use it or lose it” This is very true. Muscles atrophy or shrink from lack of use, muscles also become weaker which can lead to falls and more injuries. Living with the fibromyalgia pain is difficult, and someone who does not suffer from this chronic condition will never understand how difficult it can be to function, and live a normal life.

The best way to treat fibromyalgia is with knowlege, and trial and error. Keep trying different treatment options until you find one that works for you, the pain may never go away completely, but you don’ thave to stop living…… fibromyalgia pain relief is not a myth it is possible, but you must believe, and never give up.
