Has anyone tried Ganoderma Lucidum Mycelium?

Like a lot of Asthmatics I have really struggled recently with my breathing, a friend recommended taking Ganoderma Lucidum Mycelium, I tried it (i'm stil on the tablets at the moment) and after a few days my chest felt less pressure and while i'm still a little bit wheazy i feel loads better.

I needed a nebuliser two weeks ago but when i rang 111 they told me i would have to wait 6 hours for an appointment at the hospital (it was 5pm at night and the doctors wasn't open), i couldn't go because i had a 4 year old to put to bed and i was on my own.

felt completely let down by the service and the doctors didn't even give me steroids to help build up my lungs, i had to take three days off work.

Hi ,

I've heard about reishi mushrooms but never taken - where did you get them and how long have you been taking?

Hi,

I do not know where he got them from, he sells healthy coffee and tea so I am assuming it came from the same place but I am not sure - I am not selling it :)

I googled it and you can get it for about £11 online, I have been taking it since last Wednesday, the person who gave it to me was actually my personal trainer and he refused to train me last week because I could not breathe properly.

I genuinely feel a lot better and the anxiety of worrying about my asthma (which then causes an attack) has gone because i'm not so tight chested.

Huge difference

My chest feels totally different and I'm only using my inhaler before sports now as a precaution

I'm not using it for wheezing or as part of my morning/evening routine
