Why take RM-10™?
Medicinal mushrooms have been used traditionally for thousands of years for their remarkable healing potential and are now being validated by medical science for their tremendous therapeutic value. Preliminary laboratory studies have shown that RM-10™ improves the performance of natural killer cell and macrophage activity. In addition, test results indicate that RM-10™ enhances innate immunity and exhibits anti-tumoral properties. According to these studies, medicinal mushrooms and their extracts:
- May have powerful immunomodulatory activity
- May increase overall energy and enhance immune system function
- May have potent anti-tumor activity and inhibit the growth of existing tumors
- May help lower cholesterol and can prevent and treat cardiovascular disease
- May have anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties
- May protect against harmful effects of radiation
What's in RM-10™?
Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi): Appearing in ancient Chinese herb texts more than 1500 years ago, this unique herb was considered to be the "mushroom of immortality" and the "great protector". Reishi appears to vitally aid in the immune system and have a strong effect against tumors and cancer. A potential treatment for arthritis, it has been further shown to enhance the cardiovascular system and is found to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries, angina, and shortness of breath associated with
coronary heart disease.
Cordyceps sinensis: Commonly used for impotence and fertility, Cordyceps sinensis greatly improves immune system function and strengthens the body's resistance to bacteria and viruses. In addition, it has been used in China as a tonic for the lungs and kidneys to relieve excessive fatigue, anemia, and depression.
Coriolus versicolor: Considered to be a very powerful antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-tumoral, and immune system enhancer, Coriolus versicolor has been helpful in treating and decreasing the recurrence of gastric cancer and significantly inhibiting the growth of leukemia cells.
Lentinula edodes (Shiitake): Extracts from this mushroom have been shown to be effective against Type 1 Herpes Simplex virus, depressed immune system function, cancer, AIDS, environmental allergies, candida infections, as well as frequent colds and flu. Shiitake has been used in the Orient for prevention of high blood pressure, controlling cholesterol levels, and as a potent kidney and liver tonic.
Agaricus blazei: Has amazing immune enhancing effects on the body as well as anti-tumor, anti-viral, and blood sugar lowering properties. It also helps to form the enzyme tyrosinase which is used by the body to synthesize the protein melanin. Melanin gives color to the skin and is a vital component of skin and semen.
Grifola frondosa (Maitake): In Japan, the Maitake mushroom is called the "king of the mushrooms", and many researchers believe it has anti-tumor effects. In the feudal era of Japan, Maitake was exchanged for its weight in silver by local lords who in turn offered it to the Shogun. Maitake can be used on a daily basis to promote healthy metabolic function and maintain vibrant immunity.
Hericium erinaceus: Commonly prescribed in traditional Chinese medicine for stomach ailments and for prevention of GI tract cancer, Hericium erinaceus has also been shown to be effective as an immune enhancer, nerve tonic and a support for respiratory system function.
Poria cocos: This herb is valued for its easy assimilation, helping the body shed surplus fluid, and aiding digestion. It is further used to strengthen the spleen and stomach, eliminate phlegm, calm the heart, and lower blood sugar levels.
Tremella fuciformus: A highly prized health food commonly prepared as a soup to strengthen the lungs, restore physical vitality, improve mental acuity, and replenish body fluids. It is recommended in China for weakness after child birth, constipation, abnormal menstruation, gastritis, and to reduce fever.
Polyporus umbellatus: In a Chinese clinical study of 146 patients, Polyporus umbellatus was used to decrease the recurrence of bladder cancer by nearly 50%. It has been useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections and may limit leukemia cell proliferation. It is also a potent immune enhancer, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and lung and respiratory strengthener.
Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera has been used by nearly every civilization dating back over 6,500 years to the Egyptians. Aloe is effective at reducing internal and external inflammation and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. It is a powerful antioxidant, containing anti-bacterial and anti-viral nutrients that support the immune system. Garden of Life® uses only certified organic whole leaf, non-isolate aloe vera gel that is never pasteurized or preserved.
Uncaria tomentosa: Herbal practitioners around the world have used Uncaria tomentosa (Cat's Claw) to treat a variety of diseases and inflammatory conditions including arthritis, AIDS, allergies, dermatological problems, ulcers, colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Crohn's disease. It further helps to lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation, and prevent the spread of tumors and viral infections.
The Multi-Compound Approach
Many nutritional immune formulas primarily focus on a single compound vs. a "multi-compound" approach. We believe however, that the beneficial effects of these compounds are greatly enhanced when they are used in combinations, permitting synergistic interactions to occur. RM-10™ was
specifically created to be a multi-faceted support system for immune disorders.
For much of the last hundred years science has been searching for a cure for cancer, arthritis, and even the common cold. Most of the research has been focused on finding a "magic bullet" in the form of an antibiotic, vaccine or anti-inflammatory. All the while, inside our own body lies the most powerful cure for what ails us, our immune system. The immune system is a person’s primary defense against disease.
Beating Death at 80
At age 77, Rose Menlowe was diagnosed with cancer. After surgical removal of visible tumors, she declined chemotherapy and radiation, and instead chose to take responsibility for her own well being. Rose began taking RM-10™ for its ability to significantly boost the immune system, enhancing her body's own capacity to control normal cell growth. Rose Menlowe is now cancer-free, and today at age 80, Rose is so full of energy that she has plans to produce an exercise video for seniors - that's how well she is! |
