Thank you for alerting me to this article. It was great to read that research into cancer stem cells is moving forward. For a while now, I have been reading about the ability of Turkey Tail mushrooms to cause the death of prostate cancer stem cells. I have felt that western modern medicine has been slow to recognize mushroom medicine's ability to work with modern medicine (surgery and radiation) to reduce the reoccurrence of various cancers (prostate, breast, colorectal and a few others). Here's an article that set me thinking along these lines:

@ededed I’ve read about the benefit of White Button Mushrooms and have been taking a supplement going on two years.

@ededed Thanks to all for posting the articles. I do wonder about mycotoxins that show up, especially in mushrooms and a few other foods? When searching for them, I could only find the powders or extracts. I'm willing to give them a try,

@ededed Ed, you are a great resource for the mushroom supplements; I use 1 gm Turkey Tail every day for immune support since some of my WBC’s are still sub-par…but did want to mention that the large study out of Japan, which recommended Turkey Tail as a supplement to chemotherapy in GI and breast cancer, used between 3 and 9 grams per day!
That is an awful lot to take on a daily basis if it’s being used prophylactically to keep recurrent PCa at bay.
I don’t think it’s necessarily harmful, but it would definitely hurt your pocketbook as the stuff is not cheap.
I think a lot of alternative medicine glosses over the fact that herbs, botanicals and the like have to be taken in extreme quantities to maybe be effective at all. Purified or concentrated formulas might offer NO benefit at all since chemical alteration totally degrades whatever other components are inside the herbs to enhance absorption…just sayin’
