Dr. John Campbell – Lion’s Mane mushrooms as food and medicine
An amazing mushroom – Hericium erinaceus- we call it lion’s mane because it’s shaggy like a lion’s mane the Chinese call it monkey head strange monkey yeah indeed but there’s various names for it.
Now it’s got a long history of therapeutic use in Chinese medicine known for thousands of years and other Asian countries have also used it in their medical systems and it’s got lots of bioactive compounds so there’s polysaccharides phenols turpenoids lot lots of different organic compounds in it.
With diverse Health promoting properties a range of conditions probably going to focus on the nervous system today but does affect a range of conditions that’s absolutely amazing.
“ I’m so glad you’re talking about this because you’ve alluded to a couple of things there including that a lot of these types of compounds which we are learning more about now have been used in many Asian cultures for centuries.”
Dr John Campbell:
“I have been hearing more and more literally I would say with each passing month I get more and more emails people contact mentioning lion’s mane and I’ve done some very superficial research on this and can’t wait for more about this because I don’t doubt this is probably going to take the western world by by storm over the next few years.”
Some of the good research is coming out of Japan actually it’s what we call one of these functional mushrooms it’s kind of a neutrautical really so it’s a food and the reason I like it is because it’s difficult.
“ Sometimes when people come to you with a medical condition to recommend a drug as you know I’m not their prescriber it’s really hard to do that but if it’s a dietary change recommending a particular food well that that’s much less ambiguous you know it’s much less controversial to recommend a food as long as people aren’t allergic to it it’s described as generally safe so you can never say anything’s 100% safe but it’s it’s as safe as any other food or mushroom.”
Safer more sustainable health solutions is what we’re looking for now mushrooms generally are really quite nutritious often overlooked they contain protein and fiber vitamins B1 2 3 4 5 6 quite often they contain quite a lot of selenium, zinc, magnesium, potassium they’re good for you and also potentially vitamin D.
