The Truth about Ganoderma Lucidum To Treat Diabetes
It has been found that, Ganoderma Lucidum can be used to treat and cure diabetes, as it has the ability to bring down blood sugar levels and aids in managing type 2 Diabetes, Diabetes Mellitus. Ganoderma or the Reishi Mushroom has been revered and used for many centuries by the Chinese people to treat and cure various ailments. Ganoderma mushroom has been known to reduce blood pressure, improve nerve function, enhance stamina, weight loss and much more. Ganoderma which is called as "Reishi" Mushroom in China was limited to use only for the Royal Families due to its scarcity and the extraordinary medicinal properties and was called as the "Elixir of Life". Significant cure has been seen in the treatment of Cancer and Diabetes while consuming Ganoderma Lucidum.
When one's blood sugar level constantly stays at a high level the condition is known as Diabetes and the person to be diabetic. This may lead to other diseases like high blood pressure, stroke, blurred vision leading to blindness, kidney failure, impotence and ulcer.
The Growing Need for A Diabetes Cure
In today's world Diabetes has become a Global phenomena affecting people across countries, races and ages. Even young children are being diagnosed with diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes being more prevalent worldwide. Cancer and diabetes are two of the most serious and common diseases in the United States today and the other countries are not far behind.
Diabetes is a condition in which the sugar level in ones body exceeds the required limits and constantly stays at a high. There are many types of Diabetes. This condition arises when the pancreas which secretes insulin and glucagon looses its full functionality and slowly goes down in producing the amount of hormones required for our body. This is where Ganoderma mushroom plays a vital role when we try treat and cure diabetes.
Normal Regulation of Blood Sugar
The important roles of insulin and glucagon in a human body.
The hormones which balances and maintains the level of blood sugar in a very narrow range in our body are Insulin and Glucagon. Insulin and glucagon are both secreted from the pancreas, and are referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. If the Pancreas produce the required amount of Insulin and Glucagon then a persons sugar levels will be maintained as required and he or she will not become Diabetic.
As the blood glucose rises in a persons blood the Pancreas manufactures more Insulin and as the blood sugar goes down so does the production of Insulin by the Pancreas.
The work of glucagon is to make the liver release the glucose that it has stored in its cells into the blood stream, thereby increasing blood glucose.
Conventional treatment for diabetes uses medications to suppress blood sugar level. However medicines don't cure it. It only reduces and maintains the blood sugar levels. Long term medication for diabetes causes two main side effects. One is the hardening of blood vessels, causing stroke and heart disease. The other side effect is the interference with fats metabolism, causing a patient to become obese and to put on weight.
Here are some causes that leads to Type 2 Diabetes
History of diabetes in the family.
Sedentary (inactive) lifestyle
Poor sleeping habits
Age (the older you get, the more your risk increases) but we see an increasing trend in younger people nowadays.
Hormones
Use of Steroids
Some medicines
Smoking
Race was also considered as a possible cause but with the current trend it has changed the equation.
Role Of Gamoderma Lucidum in Treating Diabetes
Ganoderma lucidum, which is also known as Reishi, has long been used to treat and cure a wide range of diseases. It enhances vitality and delays the aging process in cells. Ganoderma Lucidum has a positive effect on blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels and blood fats. Ganoderma lucidum is even more potent when taken in combination with another medicinal mushroom called Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps is also thought to have significant health properties in addition to being able to treat and manage Diabetes.These adaptogenic mushrooms are distinct from other substances in their ability to balance endocrine hormones and the immune system, and that they help the body to maintain optimal homeostasis.

Diabetes mellitus is accompanied by hormonal and neurochemical changes that are associated with anxiety and depression. Diabetes and depression both negatively interact,where depression leads to poor metabolic control and hyperglycemia exacerbates depression. Vanadium-enriched Cordyceps sinensis can be used to treat in preventing depression due to diabetes, and influences the long-term course of glycemic control. Vanadium compounds have the ability to imitate the action of insulin and have further favorable effects to treat and cure diabetes and depression.
Among the many biologically active constituents of Ganoderma lucidum, polysaccharides, proteoglycans, proteins and triterpenoids have been shown to have hypoglycemic effects.
Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides have been reported to have hypoglycemic activity by increasing plasma insulin levels and decreasing plasma sugar levels in mice. A study published online in 2018 by NCBI has shown how Ganoderma Lucidum was effective in treating rats which were chemically induced with diabetes. Upon treating these rats for a week, a significant decrease in blood glucose levels in the diabetic groups of rats was noted. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B is a promising therapeutic target in diabetes, and Ganoderma lucidum proteoglycan can inhibit this enzyme invitro.
Another study conducted by Mr X. Zhou and colleagues of Fudan University who examined the effect of a water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum on circulating glucose concentrations in mice, the results of which was published in "The American Journal of Chinese Medicine" in 2007, showed that Ganoderma lucidum can reduce insulin resistance, which would increase insulin sensitivity. It was also found that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and triterpenes are the active compounds with anti-diabetic properties.
Ganoderma prolongs the lifespan of beta-cells and by doing so, prevents diabetes, enhances the body's natural healing ability.
The intake of Ganoderma Lucidum to treat and cure diabetes not only supplements insulin deficiency but may also make the pancreas regain its original function. For a layman Ganoderma Lucidum flushes out all toxins from the cells and also helps in regrowth of cells. Therefore any organ which is affected may get restored to its original by the intake of Ganoderma Lucidum over a period of time.
Dosage and Intake
It is very interesting and assuring to note that Ganoderma extract can be taken along with Allopathic Medicines as it is only a food supplement and not a drug. This means you can take it along with your regular diabetic medicines that your doctor has prescribed and it has absolutely no side effects.
It may cause loose tools initially (semi solid) but nothing to worry about as that is the way it flushes out the toxins from our body.
One could start with a pair of Ganoderm extract capsules a day, and increase it to 2 and 3 pairs a day consecutively, over a period of 2 weeks. So, by the end of the 3rd week you can be taking a pair three times a day, however the more you take the better it is, as its only a food supplement, but it does a load of good.
Some companies also have Coffee infused with Ganoderma extract so if you are a coffee drinker it becomes so much more easier.

Thus if a Diabetic patient takes Ganoderma Lucidum along with the medication for a period of time, the patient may be cured of the Diabetes and the patients pancreas may regain its original form and function in course of time.
