Host Defense Medicinal Mushrooms

Paul Stamets, creator of Host Defense line of medicinal mushrooms believes that mushrooms are so much more than pizza toppings and appetisers.  He believes that they can improve and even save a deteriorating world by doing things like cleaning polluted soil, producing clean insecticides, and even treating disease.  But they can also play a very important role in our daily lives.  Because mushrooms share more DNA with humans than plants do, our body accepts them as food which means all of their medicinal properties, like immunological,  anti-cancer, antioxidants, anti-hypertensive and cholesterol-lowering properties, liver protection, as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties.  Wow!
