As more and more of us succumb to cancer - the latest stats say apparently that 1 in 2 people will have a cancer in their lifetime - it is interesting to note the burgeoning field of medicinal mushroom compounds.
Stalker has been tracking medicinal mushroom stories for many's a year. Sites like Fungiperfecti.com and mushroomscience.com are now becoming more numerous on the web - with mushroom compounds to alleviate many ills, from stress to eczema, from carcinomas to immune dysfunction.
As ever one must repeat the age old mantra of caveat emptor, but with ever increasing interest from scientists in the utility of mushroom compounds it seems as if we are on a cusp of a new dawn in relation to treating health problems with mushrooms.
