Review: Host Defense from New Chapter Delivers Amazing Blend of 17 Medicinal Mushrooms Containing Anti-Cancer Phytochemicals
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
(NaturalNews) Nutritional supplement company New Chapter offers one of the best medicinal mushroom products available today. Did I say "medicinal?" Oops, that's a violation of FDA regulations, it seems. There is no such thing as a "medicinal" mushroom in the view of the FDA. All mushrooms are chemically inert, they ridiculously insist.
That view is absurd, of course, but it remains the rule of law at the FDA. Nevertheless, medicinal mushrooms continue to lend their support to seemingly miraculous healing events for those people wise enough to take them on a regular basis, and New Chapter has one of the best medicinal mushroom products I've ever found.
It's called Host Defense, and it's so effective at boosting the immune system and preventing cancer that the FDA actually went after the New Chapter company and made them censor their description text to remove any hint of what this product can actually do.
It's a well-known scientific fact that Medicinal mushrooms have the ability to prevent, treat and even reverse cancer, and that's why everywhere in the world other than the United States, they're called "anti-cancer mushrooms."
By the way, I have zero financial ties to New Chapter and earn nothing from the sale of this product. My accurate description of the health benefits of Host Defense is based on the scientific evidence available today.
A blend of 17 medicinal mushrooms with extreme genetic potency
Host Defense is a blend of 17 extremely powerful medicinal mushrooms, almost all of which have known anti-cancer benefits. The complete list of mushrooms in the Host Defense formula is:
Organic Maitake (Grifola frondosa)
Organic Enokitake (Flammulina vilutipes)
Organic Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)
Organic Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)
Organic Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis)
Organic Mesima (Phellinus linteus)
Organic Yun Zhi (Trametes versicolor)
Organic Zhu Ling (Polyporus umbellatus)
Organic Lion's Mane (Hericum erinaceus)
Organic Maitake Fruitbodies (Grifola frondosa)
Organic Artists' Conk (Ganoderma applanatum)
Organic Oregon Polypore (Ganoderma oregonense)
Organic Agarikon (Fomitopsis officinalis)
Organic Ice Man Fungus (Fomes fomentarius)
Organic Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)
Organic Birch Polypore (Piptoporus betulinus)
Organic Suehirotake (Schizophyllum commune)
This isn't just an anti-cancer formula, either. These medicinal mushrooms offer extraordinary health benefits like enhanced brain function, stabilized blood sugar, protection against heart disease and a whole lot more. Medicinal mushrooms are largely considered the "wisest" and most diverse healing plants on the planet.
There's a fantastic book about how mushrooms can heal our world, by the way. It's called Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (http://www.amazon.com/Mycelium-Runn... ) by Paul Stamets. It's a must-read book by anyone interested in natural solutions for global pollution, deforestation and environmental health challenges.
Its author, Paul Stamets is also known for wildcrafting potent medicinal mushrooms, then growing them in a controlled harvesting environment while conserving the original genetic code of the wild mushrooms. That makes his mushrooms the most genetically gifted mushrooms in the world (since they carry all the genes of wild mushrooms), and that translates directly into medicinal potency. New Chapter works with Paul Stamets to use mushrooms with a genetic code that closely match wild mushrooms.
In all, Host Defense is a truly remarkable product. In my opinion, it should be among the very first options used by people concerned about cancer, or even by people who have already been diagnosed with cancer (in conjunction with other natural therapies such as cruciferous vegetable extracts, huge vitamin D supplementation, elimination of all toxic personal care products, and so on).
The good news is that Host Defense is available in two forms. There's the capsule form, made with veggie caps, which you can find here: http://www.vitacost.com/New-Chapter...
... and there's the liquid form here:

If you're looking for a more affordable option and don't mind going with the VitaCost in-house brand, there's the NSI brand of medicinal mushrooms called NSI MGC-5 Double Strength, available here: http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-MGC-5-D...

Don't check with your doctor, FIRE your doctor!
Conventional medicine pill pushers are terrified about the possibility that patients might take charge of their own health, so they warn everybody on the 'net to say things like "Check with your doctor before taking this..."
Nonsense. If you have a conventional pill-pushing, chemotherapy-pumping cancer quack as a doctor, you should simply fire that doctor and seek out a naturopathic physician instead. Only naturopaths have been trained in nutrition, and only they are qualified to talk to you about the use of medicinal mushrooms alongside whatever other therapies might be recommended for you.
Conventional cancer doctors are nutritionally illiterate and have never been trained in the use of nutrition or medicinal superfoods (like mushrooms). Thus, they are entirely unqualified to talk to you about healing cancer.
Sure, if you want to be poisoned and waste away like a concentrate camp victim, watching your hair fall out and your muscle mass dissolve by the day, go ahead and sign up for their chemotherapy and radiation programs. You might as well just go jump off a building: It delivers the same result for a lot less money (and suffering).
On the other hand, if you're actually interested in saving your own life, you've got to get serious about beating cancer with nutrition, and that almost always involves the use of medicinal mushrooms (along with lots of other things like vitamin D, selenium, green tea extracts, superfood antioxidants and a total change in your lifestyle that eliminates ALL chemical poisons from your diet, your bathroom, your kitchen, your home and your work environment).
Simply put, conventional cancer doctors are dumber than a rock when it comes to helping you overcome cancer. Why would you put your life in the hands of someone who is nutritionally illiterate?
If you're looking for one of the best medicinal mushrooms products available anywhere, check out Host Defense by New Chapter, and pick it up from Vitacost if you want the best price on it.
In my view, Host Defense can be part of your solution for nutritionally-oriented cancer prevention. Get it at Vitacost: http://www.vitacost.com/New-Chapter...
