Australia's health 2010 Report - Cancer cases projection

Dear Friends,

I extracted this from Australia's health 2010 which  is the 12th biennial health report of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. It is  the nation's premier source of statistics and informed commentary on matters such as determinants of health and keys to prevention, disease and injury. The extract I have  chosen to share with you today in about cancer cases. Enjoy reading and take whatever action is needed to keep yourselves healthy and disease free. 

Cancer cases projection: Australia institute

Cancer is Australia’s leading broad cause of disease burden (19% of the

total), followed by cardiovascular disease (16%) and mental disorders (13%).

Cancer is a diverse group of diseases in which some of the body’s cells become defective and multiply out of control. They can invade and damage the tissue around them, and can also spread (metastasise) to other parts of the body to cause further damage.

Overall, cancer is projected to remain the leading cause of the burden of disease and injury in Australia in 2010. The overall cancer incidence rate was higher among males than females. The imbalance was greatest for cancer of the larynx, where the rate for males was 12 times as high as the female rate. This excess rate is probably due to higher male rates of smoking and alcohol consumption in the previous two to three decades.

                                           Dr. Puven bersama Dr. Ranjan di Adayar, India

Dr. Ranjan  menceritakan dengan terperinci manfaat ganoderma/reishi kepada kesihatan kita terutamanya dalam pencegahan sakit/serangan jantung, pengimbangan tekanan darah, pengurangan kadar kolesterol, ‘triglyceride’ dan gula dalam darah.

Dr. Ranjan juga memberitahu bahawa kulat reishi/ganoderma ini mempunyai ciri-ciri anti-penuaan, anti-virus, dan anti-bakteria. Beliau menyatakan bahawa ganoderma dapat membantu ginjal dan hati (kidney and liver) untuk membuang toksin.

Mengikut Dr. Ranjan, ganoderma juga dapat membantu mereka yang mempunyai masalah ‘allergy’/ala (melibatkan kulit, hidung, paru-paru) dan dapat mengurangkan kesan sampingan yang dialami oleh pesakit kanker (cancer) ketika menjalani terapi ‘chemo and radiation’ . 

Dr Ranjan juga menyatakan bahawa ganoderma dapat merelaksasikan otak kita  serta dapat mengurangkan stress lalu membantu kita tidur. Mengikut beliau, ganoderma juga dapat membantu proses penghadaman (digestion), dan kulat ini juga berfungsi sebagai  bahan penahan sakit (pain-killer) yang selamat dan natural. 

Dr. Ranjan juga memberitahu bahawa ganoderma juga dapat mengimbangkan kadar hormone (hormonal levels), dan terus membantu dalam masalah ‘infertility’ (penyuburan- tidak dapat melahirkan anak) 

Health and Ganoderma - View of a Cardiologist

Dear friends,

How are u today?  I'd like to share the knowledge I gained from reading an article of Dr Ranjan, a well-known cardiologist in India, about the health benefits of ganoderma/reishi. It's indeed informative. It will be very useful for all of us.

I met Dr. Ranjan at his clinic in Chennai, in September 2009, when I first visited India to learn from the medical doctors who are recommending  ganoderma/reishi  to  their patients.

I'm providing you the summary of the article I read..

                       Dr. Puven at Dr. Ranjan's  clinic in Adayar, Chennai. 

Health benefits of Ganoderma

Reishi  is a powerful anti-oxidant  that can be used to prevent diseases like Heart attack, Arthritis, Cancer  etc. It has anti-aging and also anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties which can protect children from infections. Reishi  helps the kidneys and liver to eliminate toxins. It helps to maintain normal BP, reduces blood sugar levels, cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the blood. It gives excellent relief in various allergic disorders (skin, nasal, bronchial allergies). It can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer treatment, and improve the quality of life of cancer patients. It is beneficial in the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases like Alzheimers, Parkinsonism and degenerative diseases of the brain. Reishi also is a natural safe pain killer, has a calming effect on the brain, relieves stress, regularizes sleep function and improves digestion.  It also normalizes various hormonal levels and this helps in infertility.

Hayfever and Ganoderma

Dear Friends,

I came across another good article on the benefits of ganoderma for hayfever. This will be indeed  useful information for Australians and New Zealanders as we'll be experiencing spring soon... 

The title of the article is:  Case Study: Reishi Mushroom as a Hayfever Remedy by Dale Pinnock

Dale Pinnock BSc (Hons) MNIMH is a Nutritionist, Western Medical Herbalist, and Whole Foods Chef. He has been studying natural medicine for more than 12 years and runs a private practice and health consultancy service (Natural Solutions Clinic) in Cambridgeshire, UK

Allergies and asthma- Ganoderma

Dear Friends, 

The article "The Use of Ganoderma Lucidum in the Management of Histamine-Mediated Allergic Responses” was written by Martin Powell from the UK who is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner and lecturer who has been involved in the clinical use of mushroom nutrition for over 10 years. He studied Biochemistry at the University of Birmingham, then acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and Chinese massage (Tui Na), initially at the London School of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then inTaipei and Shanghai. He runs a practice in Luton, and  coedits Mycology News and lectures on TCM and on mushroom nutritionat the University of Westminster and abroad.

Martin Powell, in his article  highlights the benefits of Reishi mushrooms in the treatment of both allergies and asthma. He states that allergies are caused by an immune response to a number of things  like dust, pollens, foods, chemicals, and stress. 

One way he suggests that we  can deal with the problem of allergies is by enhancing our body's immune system through consumption of health supplements like reishi mushrooms.

Mr Martin Powell concludes that Reishi mushrooms can help trigger the body's defense mechanisms against allergic reactions. The use of nutrition to address immune system imbalance is referred to as immunonutrition. 

If you want to know about the organic reishi mushroom capsules of dxn or how to purchase them at a reasonable price, just email me (dr.puven329@yahoo.com) and I’ll give you the details.
