Just have to suggest that you try maitake mushrooms. Not only do they taste good when sauted in butter or olive oil and garlic but they are good for keeping the "yin and yang" right in our bodies! Does eating maitake mushrooms protect the good cells while taking chemo therapy? Do your own research. I just had maitake mushrooms for dinner tonight. Yummy! I will take two maitake capsules in the morning hoping to keep my immune system in check. Need some? The Mushroom Cap has fresh maitake mushrooms daily. Also on hand are fresh shiitake, whites, portabellas, oyster and crimini.
Mushrooms
For centuries, people around the world have turned to mushrooms for a healthy immune system. Contemporary researchers now know why. "Studies show that mushrooms increase the production and activity of white blood cells, making them more aggressive. This is a good thing when you have an infection," says Douglas Schar, director of the Institute of Herbal Medicine in Washington. Shiitake and maitake mushrooms, now available fresh in U.S. supermarkets, appear to pack the biggest immunity punch. They're easy to use too. Just add a handful to pasta sauce, saute with a little oil and add to eggs, or heap triple-decker style on a frozen pizza. Good news for absent-minded chefs: "Basically, you can burn them, and they will still powerfully stimulate the immune system," says Schar.
