Reishi mushroom powder

[imported_Tomato]

I think my immune system has been weakened from lack of exercise/fruits and veggies, and I've been coming down with a cold every month. I'm working on upping my intake of fruits, vegetables, etc. and exercising again, but as a "quick fix"...

My coworker swears by "Reishi", a mushroom powder in capsule form at GNC, Whole Foods, etc. She says since she's started taking it, she hasn't gotten sick and her allergies have almost disappeared. Has anyone else heard of/tried this?

Echinacea is supposed to be great for immune system building. I take it every time i get a cold, 1-2 pills a day, and am cured quickly.

edit: sex helps too.

I'll def. be taking it easy this weekend...

I've heard good things about echinacea, but have yet to try it myself. As for sex, I won't be getting any until January 7.

Use the responses to your other thread about holiday tickets, purchase one to houston, and January 7 can change to December 7th. Get Cured!

try googling about the mushroom powder, also, make sure you aren't allergic to it or anything first, that would suck.

Side effects include, but may not be limited to: sudden flashes of light, mood swings alternating between extreme paranoia and extreme euphoria, strenghtened sense of taste, and occassional loss of balance and/or consciousness.

P.S. Saw your profile. Do you post advice on YAGT?

Mmmmm. Sensate Reishi

Sorry 'bout that.

Dezign, I can't stress just how much a lot of what the "health food" stores sell, are just for placebo effect. The body has a hard time extracting the proper nutrients from most suppliments. Still, if it's as good as you say, seems like it would be worth it to look into it. I would always recommend a proper diets to get your nutrients, unless there are some other conditions where you need suppliments. I value your posts... take care of yourself.
