Red Reishi Extract & Covid-19

Original post in this thread

imelemi · 7 points

Would this specific mushrooms extract (Red Reishi) help with overcoming/recovering from Covid-19?

I don’t know much about Reishi in general, and I have personally never tried it before... but from what I’ve read so far, it sounds like it has amazing benefits and can help support a healthy immune system by “boosting” white blood cells, and creating the “good killer cells”?

Some studies have been conducted on animals (and possibly humans as well?) regarding the potential benefits of boosting our immune systems.

I have also read some speculation on Reishi having anti-cancer properties?

I ordered some Red Reishi extract from nootropics depot in hopes to aid with my bodies ability to recover from Covid-19, unfortunately me and my girlfriend have been dealing with the terrible symptoms of this nasty virus.

I understand it’s not going to be a cure-all to this virus, but from what I’ve learned so far Reishi has shown some ability to help strengthen our immune system and in return fight off infections (such as the flu), cancer, and improve our well-being overall.

I have some concerns regarding the safety & side effects of using Reishi daily, and if any notable interactions occur…

Nice articles! I was like them in the beginning. I figured it was a bullshit conspiracy, and rejected it. Then I looked into it more, and I started to come around. I did not start expecting it to be a lab accident, but I am firmly there now. There's too much evidence to ignore it. Pair it with how China reacted, and the propaganda being put out all over the internet attacking anyone that brings it up as a crackpot conspiracy theorist, and I can see what is going on. It's what I would do if I was tasked with creating a strategy to downplay and obfuscate it. There are enough people out there primed to call people conspiracy theorists that it is easy to get them to start with that assumption. Then it is hard to change their mind. Like it or not, many scientifically minded people have big blinders on for things that fall outside of traditional medical knowledge and beliefs. It's easy to use those blinders to have them spread your propaganda. The thing is that these scientists don't think they are being misled. They never even consider the possibility that their rigid scientific thinking could be used as a tool for propagandists. It truly is a blinder for many of them. China has some very very good propagandists. They throw obvious shit out there for people to latch onto, then their real work happens in the background that nobody sees. It's fantastic misdirection on their part. I find it fascinating.

Is ND done launching new products?

Replying to midwestworld13 · I emailed them about restocking red reishi products and was met with a very unsatisfying reply... I'm low on other sups but kinda trying to find somewhere else if I'm being honest.

Reishi products are all being restocked. We were just doing some optimization on them. Because we developed methods to test for ganoderic acids, our first step was releasing our Ultra Concentrated 9% extract. However, st
