GANODERMA HISTORY Ganoderma lucidum has been treasured in China and Japan for many thousands of years (Willard, 1990). In Chinese, the mushroom is called "Ling Zhi", Japanese call it Reishi, Mannentake or Sachitake, and Koreans call it Youngzhi

Slide 5

GANODERMA HISTORY Chinese tradition proclaims that Ganoderma is also called miraculous zhi, or auspicious herb and is considered to symbolise happy augury, and to bespeak good fortune, good health and longevity, even immortality (Wasson, 1968). As early as 800 years ago in the Yuan Dynasty (A.D., 1280 1368) G. lucidum has been represented in paintings, carvings, furniture, carpet design, jewellery, perfume bottles and many more creative artworks (Wasser & Weis, 1999a). In two famous Chinese herb medical books, Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (25-220 A.D., Eastern Han Dynasty) and Ben Cao Gang Mu (1590 A.D., Ming Dynasty), there were six know species of Ganoderma (Ling Zhi) in China at that time, whereas now more than 250 species have been described (Moncalvo et al., 1994; Ryvarden, 1994).

GANODERMA (What is it?) GANODERMA LUCIDUM - scientific name of LINGZHI mushroom. Believed to be the most powerful herb or King of Herbs during the ancient times. contains over 200 Nutraceutical, (the words nutrition and pharmaceutical , is a food or food product that provides health and medical benefits, ) and 50 Nutritional properties, the highest known in any one herb or plant.

Slide 7

DXNs GANODERMA FEATURESBENEFITS Uses Tissue Culture MethodOnly the reproduction of the mother plant is cultivated so the control of high quality species is maintained. Uses 100% Organic Cultivation Method No chemical fertilizer, insecticide, hormone. (A pesticide called organophosphate was used as a toxic nerve agent during World War. Farming sector utilized them to eliminate pests on foods. Most pesticides are still considered neurotoxins.) There are no toxins that are damaging to brain and nerve cells. Research from independent organizations consistently shows organic food is higher in nutrients higher in vitamin C, antioxidants, and the minerals calcium, iron, chromium, and magnesium than traditional foods. Very safe and healthy. Uses paddy, brown rice powder in cultivation Resulting to Ganoderma with high nutrition content.

Slide 8

What is ganotherapy? Ganotherapy is a holistic (whole body) approach to alternative complementary medicine. It consists of four (4) observation theories used to explain how Ganoderma or Red Mushrooms support the human body to overcome health problems on its own.

Slide 9

GANODERMA (What is it?) Lingzhi helps our body to fight disease, because it balances and puts the body back in order by cleansing toxins that has accumulated through the years. As a result, it fights diseases and heals itself in the process. Therefore, our body becomes its own healer. (Best doctor) because of the natural immune system. Lingzhi addresses almost all problems regarding health in this modern times.

Slide 10

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin 1. Illnesses are caused by 2 sources: TOXINS in our body and DISHARMONY in body functions. TOXINS Air : smoking, second hand smoke, motor vehicle emissions. (lung cancer) Food: food coloring (linked to ADHD), burned meat, fast foods, too much sweets (diabetes,) alcohol consumption, contaminated with pesticides. Water: contaminated water

Slide 11

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin Toxins in our body- Anything in excess or not needed by the body are toxins. virus, bacteria, dust, smoke, bad cholesterol, contaminants from unfiltered drinking water, pesticides absorbed by fruits & vegetables, chemicals from toxic products and environment, etc.

Slide 12

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin (Taking Ganoderma regularly eliminates the stored toxins in the body.) DISHARMONY in body functions - if the body is not functioning as it should, the body is in a state of IMBALANCE. This can be caused by stress, over- fatigue (lack of sleep or rest), lack of nutrients, physical trauma or injury that affect body organs and systems not to function properly causing untoward signs and symptoms

Slide 13

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin Just like the TOXINS, an IMBALANCE of the body or any of its organs (heart, brain, lungs, kidney, liver, pancreas, etc.) can be traced down to their cells, in which organs are made of. If there are cell imbalances, the body will have health problems. Atherosclerosis

2. Ganoderma supports the body while the body takes care of its own.

Slide 16

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin 3. Any reaction that takes place is not caused by Ganoderma. It is caused by the body's improving immune system reacting (during the natural healing process) to its disease. This is known as scanning.

Slide 17

Four Observation Theories by Dr. Lim Siow Jin A good example would be the itchiness (reaction) of the skin when a wound on it is healing. The reaction is temporary and disappears when the wound is totally healed. 4. The dosage of Ganoderma taken is irrelevant to disease. The "correct" dose of Ganotherapy is that which works for you. The 1, 2, 4, 6 RG and GL Consumption Rule

Slide 18

GANOTHERAPY (dosage) TIME FRAMERECOMMENDED DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM First Week1 capsule of RG plus 1 capsule of GL daily Second Week2 capsules of RG plus 2 capsules of GL daily Third Week4 capsules of RG plus 4 capsules of GL daily Fourth Week6 capsules of RG plus 6 capsules of GL daily Maintenance Program2-3 capsules of RG and GL daily

Slide 19

STAGES IN GANOTHERAPY Stage 1: Scanning (1-30 days) Ganoderma helps to regulate the body functions. During the initial intake, the scanning effect will reflect several reactions of the body, through which we may identify the ailing areas of the body.

The toxins are removed from our body by: Sweating. The circulation system. (kidney and liver and discharges from the body through urination and stool. Boils, rashes, phlegm and mucus discharge may occur.

STAGES IN GANOTHERAPY Stage 3: Regulating (1-12 months) Balancing effects of Ganoderma help to regulate the body functions. Many reactions can be observed during regulation. This is a sign that the body is healing and one should not worry about it. One should continue to consume Reishi Gano (RG) If the reaction is too vigorous, reduce the dosage and/ or increase intake of Ganocelium (GL) After the reaction is reduced or over, resume normal dosage. The reaction may come back but proceed with the dosage.

Slide 22

STAGES IN GANOTHERAPY Stage 4: Building (6-24 months) This is the process of building and healing body parts that have sustained injuries or damage. Strengthening of the immune system, improving physical strength and mental calmness and getting more resistance to diseases. Supplying essential elements to the body, such as minerals and triterpenoids for the recovery of bodily functions.

Slide 23

STAGES IN GANOTHERAPY Stage 5: Regenerating (1-3 years) This is the ultimate aim of Ganotherapy. It is the process where our body is functioning at its optimum level and has a rejuvenating effect (restore youthful appearance, strength and peace of mind).

Slide 24

GANOTHERAPY (reactions) Q: I am feeling hot flashes A: Drink plenty of water (at least 8 glasses) to help eliminate TOXINS in the body and and eat fruits and vegetables with a high Vitamin C content to assist in the natural detoxification process. Remember to continue using Lingzhi.

Slide 25

GANOTHERAPY (reactions) Q: I am experiencing discomfort (as the body eliminates toxins.) A: Reduce the daily intake by half.

Slide 26

GANOTHERAPY (reactions) Q: Why do I have to take both RG and GL? A: RG and GL should be taken together for maximum results. Q: I am taking medication, can I take RG/GL?

Only reduce your medications under the advice of a qualified health professional.

Slide 27

GANOTHERAPY (reactions) Q: What is my dosage? A: You may need to vary the daily intake depending on your state of health, constitution, or particular needs.

Slide 28

GANOTHERAPY Taking Ganoderma regularly corrects and regulates all the body cells that make the organs and the natural immune system to function properly. If all the body organs and its natural immune system are functioning properly, the body would be healthy and free from diseases.
