The Most Valuable Ling Zhi Spores
The most effective part of the Lingzhi is the spores. Just like all living things, in order to reproduce, the Lingzhi spore is protected by a hard cell, which keeps the essential nutrients in a powdery form.
In another word, when the entire plant was eaten by an animal or man, the spores were kept safe under these protective hard cells that could not be absorbed or dissolved by the stomach acid. Eventually these spores will be excreted in the stool and the spores continue to survive.
Hence, even if you have been taking Lingzhi everyday, you have not gained its full benefits.

The therapeutic effect of having absorbed the cracked Lingzhi Spore powder is 75 times that of the Lingzhi plant itself.

In order for these nutrients to be released, the spore shell has to be completely broken and the actual spores cracked. It takes almost a thousand spores to be equivalent to the diameter of a strand of hair.
Currently, there are 2 versions of spores in the market - the cracked and un-cracked. Studies have shown that the body's ingestion of the cracked spore powder is far greater than that of the un-cracked version.

There are only few high technology manufacturers in the world that has the modern and advanced scientific technique to break down the internal walls of chitin. The chitin is extremely minute in size and this makes the process of cracking and exposing the spores extremely difficult and technical. After the cracking process, the shells protecting the spores are cracked, exposing the essence, which is the spores, and thus can be absorbed by the stomach. The exposed Lingzhi spores powder will be 75 times more potent than those of unprocessed Lingzhi spores.

LINGZHI SPORE STUDY
(Source are from ZhongKe printed materials)

As a medicinal nutrient, the ganoderma lucidum has a very long history. More than 3000 years ago, our ancestors began to use it to cure diseases and it was praised as the "Oriental Miracle Herb" for its remarkable effect. It is a household legend that ganoderma lucidum is able to "brings the dead back to life". Ganoderma lucidum spore is the essence of ganoderma lucidum and only one gram of ganoderma lucidum spore can be derived from 1000 grams of ganoderma lucidum.

Functional Mechanism
Ingredients: Ganoderma lucidum spore is a combination of triterpene, polysaccharides, polypeptide, glucopeptide, adenosine, enzyme, alkoloid, organic germanium and multiple trace elements and thus it is endowed with strong physiological activity, suitable for independent application or integrated application.

Tumor Restriction Mechanism

By stimulating the body-intrinsic effector cell* with cytotoxicity, ganoderma lucidum spore promotes the biological activity of retothelium and kills the tumor cells, restricting the growth of tumor or eliminating tumor.
1. Activates effector cells of body, enhances the ability of body to kill tumor and of oncolysis, raises the activity of damaging the tumor for over 80%.
2. Induce the secretion and synthesis of cells factor, enhances the ability of body to kill tumor, activates effector cells, and protects normal cells.
3. Restrains immune suppressor factor produced by tumor cells, exposes tumor cells to killer cells.
4. Restrains tumor cells from growing.
5. Repairs and enhances the sensibility of body to cancer effector, enhances adaptability of body.
6. Eliminates radicals so as to show strong activity of superoxide dismutase in body.
7. Improves the synthesis of marrow cells DNA, RNA and protein, accelerates splitting and propagation of marrow cells, and enhances blood producing function of marrow.
8. Reduces surface potential of cancer cells, inducts cancer cells gene to mutate again and initiate its fading program.
9. Kills tumor cells, but its mechanism remains unknown so far.

Zooperal result shows that Ganoderma Lucidum Spore has the inhibitive function to transplantable tumors.
Sarcoma 180: 86.9 ~ 91.0% Leukemia P388: 66.5 ~78.4%
Liver Cancer AH-13, AH-7974, AH-66F: 65.1~71%
Rous Cancer : 81.5 ~ 89.6% Malign Fibroma : 86.0 ~ 98.0%
EC Ehrilich Carcinoma : 79.3 ~ 87.6% Ascitic HEPS Liver Cancer : 44.7 ~ 56.0%
*Effector Cell : T Cell, macrophage (MF), natural killer (NK) and lymph-cell activated killer (LAK).
**Cell Factor: interferon (IFN), interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and clone stimulus factor (CSF).

Toxicology

1. Acute Toxicity Experiment : LD50 for both female and male mice is over 21.5g/kg.
2. Ames Experiment : Standard test bacteria TA97a. TA98, TA100 and TA102, flat oozing process, dosage 5000ug/one, with adding S-9 or not, which shows no obvious sign of induction activity.

4. Induction activity of primary spermatocyte chromosome of mice spermary.
5. Dosage is up to 10g/kg (weight) and no induction activity has been detected on primary spermatocyte chromo some of male mice spermary.

Auxiliary application to cancer inhibition

1. Promote the curing effect. Cancer-inhibitive effect can be increased when used with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. For 63.2 ~ 71.5% of all the cases, the therapeutic effect is enhanced (for 23%, the therapeutic period is shortened) and for 24.5 ~ 33.9%, the effect of radiation therapy is enhanced.

2. Create therapeutic opportunity: for cases that therapeutic indication is restored for dying patients and patents receiving the conservative treatment, of which, 11.3 ~ 20.9% can resume radiation therapy and chemotherapy. This product can help post-operational cut to heal rapidly and recover physically so as to receive radiation therapy and chemotherapy as soon as possible.

3. Prevents tumor from rapid diffusion.

4. Reduces side effect: the toxic effect has been reduced to low during radiation therapy and chemotherapy and the bone marrow is eased. For 80.6 ~ 87.0% of the cases, the white cell is kept within the limit; for 55.8 ~64.2% of the patients, no vomiting and the rest can stop vomiting within 1 ~ 3 days; for 17.5 ~ 23%, they suffer from slight lapsus pilorum; Over 95% with normal sleep and diet.

5. Improve life Quality: during the whole lapse, the life quality is considerably improved. Increased diet : 100%; Better sleep: 100%; restored vitality : 100%; restored white cell : 90%; relieved from pain : 70%; improve oppilate : 60%; bedridden patients can walk about now : 65%

6. Prolonged Survival: 100% of patients who took in various dosages can outlive the estimated survival.

Decrement of White Blood Cell:

Conclusion

Ganoderma Lucidum is a rare germ in the traditional Chinese medicinal treasure house and it has been worshipped and deified for 3000 years by the oriental world. Zhongke Ganoderma Lucidum Spore is the best of the modern ganoderma lucidum products and has been widely used as BRM (biological regulating media), to help resist tumors and excellent effect has been achieved, which has brought the hope of life and recovery to those who suffer from cancer or other diseases.

GANODERMA LUCIDUM SPORE CAN BE EFFECTIVE ONLY WHEN THE SHELLS ARE BROKEN.

The human cell absorbs nutriments via molecular permeation. The spore is similar in size to the human red blood cell and so it is impossible to absorb. In view of the structure, the outer layer of ganoderma lucidum spore is a wall of chitin and its composition is something like that of the walnut. The ganoderma lucidum spore is a walnut reduced by 3000 times and the rigorous chitin contains the molecule and these molecular matter contains the main anticancer material polysaccharide and the polysaccharide with the molecular weight of 40000 cannot permeate the solid structure of chitin to enter the human humor. Boil the ganoderma lucidum spore for 2 hours in 14x de-ionized water, the total amount of polysaccharide is only 1/9.2 of that in the shell-broken spore. Another experiment shows that the excrement from patients who took shell-unbroken ganoderma lucidum spore contains a large number of unbroken spores and some of them were even viable. These experiments show that only by breaking the shells of the spores can the efficacy of ganoderma lucidum spore be fully made use of and absorbed. Whether used independently or with cordyceps, astragalus or poria, it is an indispensable step to break the shell.

In addition, newly collected ganoderma lucidum spore powder contains immature spores and the triterpene content in immature spores is low and it is difficult to break the shells. Triterpene is important composition of the ganoderma lucidum spore and it has great activity in killing tumor cells, relieving pains, protecting the liver and detoxication. Shell-broken spores must be mature spores and only mature ganoderma lucidum spores can guarantee the content of triterpene.

Some people believe that constant taking of shell-unbroken spores has some effect. This can, however, result in manure calculus.
