Unlike what a lot of people believe, cat cancer treatment is not just limited to high-priced and rather invasive procedures like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, or a combination of these.
And given their costly nature, what’s really sad is that there is no guarantee that these procedures will totally eliminate cat cancer or improve a kitty’s quality of life. But here’s something that you probably don’t know.
The thing is you can use medicinal mushrooms to promote a healthy immune system for your cat, which can help keep diseases at bay, including cancer. Allow me to elaborate on this.
Did you know that scientists and experts have come across medicinal mushrooms for cancer? While mushrooms are commonly used for cooking as well as making tea in some parts of the world, recent studies show that some of them contain compounds that help boost immune system health.
According to these scientific studies, a number of mushrooms have been seen to be loaded with antioxidants that prevent cellular damage, which usually triggers diseases and other health issues.
And just to make things even more interesting, the scientific community has also acknowledged the fact that antioxidants can keep cancer at bay. But don’t just take my word for it. I’ll give you a quick rundown of the mushrooms that have been scientifically proven to help fight cancer.
Without further ado, here are the mushrooms that have been seen to possess anticancer properties by science experts:
This mushroom was first discovered in the rainforests of Brazil and is also referred to as the “almond mushroom” for its distinct color and texture. According to the US National Library of Medicine, Agaricus blazei has been seen to contain compounds that help fight the formation of tumors, particularly in cases of fibrosarcoma, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer.
This mushroom is also commonly used to help improve the quality of life for patients suffering from leukemia, for example.
This mushroom commonly grows on birch trees in areas where the temperature tends to be cold. It is mainly used as tea in Northern Europe to promote and support ideal immune system health.
The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center also states that Chaga is packed with polysaccharides that inhibit and even trigger the death of cancer cells, particularly those who are suffering from liver, lung, and colon cancer.
In traditional Chinese medicine, this mushroom has been mainly used to maintain the ideal wellness of the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. However, after being subjected to in depth studies, the US National Library of Medicine shares that Cordyceps has properties that help prevent the formation and spread of tumors.
It has also been seen to help alleviate respiratory issues like asthma and pneumonia.
Also referred to as the “turkey tail mushroom” for its appearance, Coriolus versicolor has been found to contain polysaccharides called krestin and peptide, which help in boosting immune system health.
According to Medical News Today, this medicinal mushroom contains components that not just help inhibit the growth and spread of tumor cells, but also increase the efficacy of chemotherapy.
Native to Asia, Europe, and North America, this mushroom resembles a clump of white hair that gave it the nickname “lion’s mane.” It’s also called “bearded tooth” in other areas.
As published in the US National Library of Medicine, studies conducted on Hericium revealed that it is packed with lots of antioxidants that may help provide therapeutic relief
against certain cancers like leukemia, as well as gastric, liver, and colon cancer.
Its name means “dancing mushroom” in Japanese and used traditionally to manage diabetes.
The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center points out that this medicinal mushroom contains compounds that help slow down the growth of tumor cells. Further studies showed that maitake activates certain immune cells that may help fight cancer even more.
Considered as a delicacy for its rich, earthy flavor, this medicinal mushroom is loaded with immune boosting polysaccharides. Based on in-depth studies, the US National Library of Medicine even adds that this mushroom may even have simultaneous anti-cancer, antiviral, and antioxidant properties.
Formerly called Piptoporus betulinus, this mushroom has also been seen by science experts as having beneficial medicinal properties.
Besides containing compounds that boost immune system health, research published in the National Center of Biotechnology Information reveals that this mushroom can prevent inflammation and exhibits anti-cancer properties in several laboratory tests as well.
And this brings us to the next part of our discussion…
