Green Tea, Mushroom Extract Combo Slows Sarcomas
Tuesday, April 8, 2008; 12:00 AM
TUESDAY, April 8 (HealthDay News) -- A combination of the active ingredients in reishi mushrooms and green tea inhibited the growth of tumors and extended survival time of mice with sarcomas, two Chinese studies show.
Sarcomas are cancers of the bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
Both reishi mushrooms and green tea have long held a place in traditional medicine in Asia. Recent research has shown that both enhance the body's immune function, according to background information in a news release about the two new studies by researchers at the Pharmanex BJ Clinical Pharmacology Center in Beijing.
In one study, researchers injected mice with sarcoma cells and then gave them either low, medium or high doses of a product (ReishiMax) that contains high concentrations of the active components in reishi mushrooms, including polysaccharides and triterpenes, or a combination of ReishiMax and Tegreen, a product that's 98 percent to 99 percent made of green tea polyphenols.
All the mice eventually died, but the ones that received the combination treatment lived longer.
In the second study, groups of health mice were given either low, medium or high doses of ReishiMax or low, medium or high doses of a combination of ReishiMax and Tegreen. After 14 days of treatment, the mice were injected with sarcoma cells. The treatment then continued for another 14 days.
Tumor development in the mice that received the combination treatment was less than in those that received only ReishiMax and 45 percent less than mice that received no treatment.
The study was expected to be presented Tuesday at the Experimental Biology 2008 meeting in San Diego.

LAKE ORION, MICHIGAN – BirkDale Medicinals is introducing LiverOne, a new medicinal product formulated to boost liver function in adults.
According to the American Liver Society the liver helps keep the body healthy by filtering out toxins like air pollutants, pesticides, cigarette smoke, environmental chemicals, alcohol, prescription and nonprescription drugs -- that assault your body on a regular basis.
Environmental and chemical toxins are introduced into your bloodstream when you breathe, eat and drink, and even from medications you may take. Your liver is essential in ridding your body of these toxins. It also helps with hormonal balance, fat regulation and digestion.*
A healthy liver goes a long way to promoting overall health,” says Tom Peters, BirkDale’s founder. “When the liver isn't working as it should a myriad of problems may arise including premature aging, fatigue and skin problems, to name just a few.
“And, it’s essential to keep your liver healthy when taking conventional medications. With LiverOne, your liver gets the support it needs to promote whole body health," Peters says. "It's a holistic approach to health that starts with one of the human body's most important organs."
LiverOne provides the liver with a range of ingredients to support and enhance the natural mechanisms it uses to detoxify your body. It also contains ingredients that support tissue regeneration, and protect liver cells from free radical damage, while reducing congestion, and supporting other organs directly linked to the liver.
The liver is a highly complex system and LiverOne is formulated from all natural plant sources to meet its complex needs.
“ImmuneAssist 247 and LiverOne are complementary products, and we recommend our Liver Renew Power Pack for anyone wishing to maintain health liver function and help prevent problems before they start,” says Peters.
BirkDale Medicinals offers a wide range of health products, including ImmuneAssist 247, an immuno-modulator, and PerforMaxx, a medicinal Cordyceps mushroom product that has shown tremendous results in improving endurance and stamina in athletes.
They also offer canine health products. K9 Mobility offers relief from dog arthritis, and K9 Immunity offers hope in the treatment of dog cancer.
BirkDale Medicinals is a family-owned business specializing in dietary supplements and homeopathic medicinal products. They are on the web at www.birkdalemedicinals.com, or toll free at 1-888-5-247-247.
