У моего отца рак легкого. Проходит курсы химиотерапии и облучения, однако врачи делают неутешительные прогнозы. Скажите, вы знаете что- нибудь про фунготерапию, в частности таким грибом как шиитаке. Много читал в интернете про его способность останавливать рост опухоли.

Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides
. ..
Most of the clinical evidence for antitumor activity comes from the commercial polysaccharides lentinan, PSK (krestin), and schizophyllan, but polysaccharides of some other promising medicinal mushroom species also show good results. Their activity is especially beneficial in clinics when used in conjunction with chemotherapy. Mushroom polysaccharides prevent oncogenesis, show direct antitumor activity against various allogeneic and syngeneic tumors, and prevent tumor metastasis. Polysaccharides from mushrooms do not attack cancer cells directly, but produce their antitumor effects by activating different immune responses in the host. The antitumor action of polysaccharides requires an intact T- cell component; their activity is mediated through a thymus- dependent immune mechanism. Practical application is dependent not only on biological properties, but also on biotechnological availability. The present review analyzes the pecularities of polysaccharides derived from fruiting bodies and cultured mycelium (the two main methods of biotechnological production today) in selected examples of medicinal mushrooms.
