My father is undergoing chemo for colon cancer. He was diagnosed to be at stage 4 and my uncle recommended taking this, having recovered from some pancreas disease. My father is not taking the chemo very very well. And he feels very alert. There are different names for this type of mushroom. Some call it monkey head mushroom. It has good anti-oxident factor that fights against carcinogens. Normally, it's consumed as liquid extract form.
Interesting, right?
