Man with terminal colon cancer “eats half a cup of mushrooms every day”! After 2 and a half years, the disease has not returned. Doctors reveal important secrets.
Kidney doctor Jiang Shoushan tells the story of a 60-year-old man who was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. After treatment, he insisted on not eating vegetables, complaining that “every time he ate vegetables. He felt like a sheep,” a comment that has caused headaches for many people.
The doctor advised him to eat half a cup of mushrooms every day to boost his immune system. In the two and a half years of following the advice, his cancer did not return. The doctor explained that mushrooms not only help fight cancer. But also contain polysaccharides that help balance the microflora in the intestines, fight inflammation, and also help reduce blood fat and blood sugar.
Dr. Jiang Shoushan said on the “Good Health, Good Life” program that the man was diagnosed with colon cancer during a medical checkup. After surgery, it was found that the disease had spread to the lymph nodes. So it was diagnosed as stage 3. After that, he had his colon removed and received chemotherapy. But after 6 months, the cancer spread to his liver, making it stage 4.
Dr. Jiang said that in fact, colon cancer that has spread to the liver can still be treated with electroconvulsive therapy, and it does not mean that there is no cure. He also encouraged patients to continue fighting and continue receiving treatment.
Dr. Jiang Shoushan warned a male patient that there are many foods in daily life that can help fight cancer, and advised him to eat more vegetables. But he replied, “I don’t want to eat. I don’t know how long I have to live. I like to eat meat.”
When he saw the patient’s eagerness in answering, he suggested that if he did not want to eat vegetables, he could eat various types of mushrooms instead. Because from a Japanese study, it was found that among all occupations, “mushrooms” were the ยูฟ่าเบท group with the lowest chance of getting cancer.
Under his guidance, the male patient has been eating half a cup of cooked mushrooms every day. So far, two and a half years later, his stage 4 cancer has not returned.
As for the reason for this remarkable result, doctors explain that the polysaccharides in mushrooms help boost the immune system and have anti-cancer benefits. Polysaccharides are a fermentable source that can balance the gut microbiota, fight inflammation, and even improve blood lipid and blood sugar levels. “The health properties are more than you think,” he says.
Not only that, Dr. Jiang Shoushan also said that from the latest research. It was found that each type of mushroom has a different mechanism to help fight cancer, such as:
- Golden Needle Mushroom, which contains arginine, helps inhibit cancer growth.
- Shiitake mushrooms contain polysaccharides, which are substances known to fight cancer.
- Shiitake mushrooms, which contain ergosterol and polysaccharides, help inhibit cancer cells and stimulate the immune system.
- Oyster mushrooms, which contain glycoprotein, help destroy cancer cells.
- White jelly mushrooms help enhance the function of B cells to eat cancer cells.
