The formula can be used as both a preventative to maintain a strong immune system and protect one from immune breakdown, and as a treatment for those in the midst of immune deficiency, chronic stress and fatigue, debility, illness, and disease. Many diseases are linked to immune dysfunction, including cancer, AIDS/HIV, hepatitis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune disorders. Medicinal mushrooms are believed to have approximately 125 therapeutic effects including, immunomodulating, antioxidant, antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, antiparasitic, hepatoprotective, and antidiabetic properties. Many of the medicinal benefits of mushrooms are derived from glucan polysaccharides and polysaccharide- peptides found in their cell walls. Polysaccharides are long molecule chains that have antitumor and immunostimulating properties. They have been shown to activate the immune response and potentiate a variety of immune cells including host cells, such as monocytes, neutrophils, dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages, plus chemical messengers, such as interferons, cytokines, and interleukins. Some polysaccharides act as immune system enhancers and some have direct cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. Certain immune cells have specific receptors for specific polysaccharides present in mushrooms, such as Dectin-1, TLR and CR3, which explains why mushrooms have such a profound effect on immunity. Research has reported that mushrooms used in combination with each other have a multitude of beneficial effects, including increased longevity and reduced side effects in advanced cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. There are fourteen different mushrooms utilized in Phyto- Tech™ Mushroom Immune Complex. Following, you can find more detailed information, including its connection to immune system health, for each of them. Maitake stimulates regulation of interleukin-1, NK-cells, cytotoxic T-cells, and superoxide anions. The polysaccharides it contains have a unique structure and have been extensively researched for their immunomodulating activity. Maitake’s primary polysaccharide, beta-D-glucan is well absorbed orally. It has been shown to enhance immune function and has been studied for its benefits in cancer treatment and blood sugar support. Maitake is considered to be anti-HIV, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and antiobesity. It is used for prevention and treatment of flu, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, urinary tract infections, and HIV. Reishi contains numerous polysaccharides as well as triterpenes and amino acids that increase immunity and provide cardiovascular and blood sugar support. It stimulates circulation and helps lower blood pressure. Its water-soluble polysaccharides have been shown to have antitumor and immunostimulating activity. Studies report Reishi helps reduce cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels, inhibits platelet aggregation, and alleviates altitude sickness. It is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral, and demonstrates anti-allergic activity. Turkey Tail, also called Coriolus, has a multicolored cap resembling a turkey tail. It has been heavily researched for its anti-cancer properties and its ability to support immunity. PSK, a water-soluble protein-bound polysaccharide and PSP, a polysaccharide-peptide are two key compounds in Turkey Tail that have been the focus of much research. PSK acts both directly (stimulates immunity) and indirectly (cytotoxic) on tumor cells, and also enhances interferon production to destroy viruses. PSP stimulates the immune system and has anti-cancer properties. Studies report that when used along with traditional cancer treatment, PSK and PSP can increase patient longevity. Chaga is known by in Siberia as the “Mushroom of Immortality.” They consumed it on a daily basis to increase stamina, prevent disease, and promote longevity. It is unlike other mushrooms in that it isn’t soft, but very hard like wood, and looks less like a mushroom and more like a large tree growth. It protects itself from harsh climates by concentrating natural compounds in order to survive, making it extremely nutrient dense and powerful in its health benefits. It is high in B vitamins, minerals, enzymes, flavonoids, and phenols. It contains a unique pigment-like phenolic compound called chromogenic complex, which exerts a protective effect on tissues. Chaga is also rich in superoxide dismutase (SOD), a potent antioxidant enzyme that scavenges tissue-damaging free radicals. It is considered to be a powerful adaptogen that strengthens the body’s resistance to stress. Its active constituents are believed to be polysaccharides, triterpenes, and sterols. It has anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antimutagenic, antiviral, analgesic, hepatoprotective, immuno-stimulating, and hypoglycemic effects. It is also a . . . continued on page 82 Important Notice: The information given here is designed to help you make informed decisions about your health, and the proper use of dietary supplements.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements W e are told that various lifestyle modifications can reduce our risk of cancer. Same claim that various nutrients and supplements can provide similar benefit. Usually, clinical proof of this is elusive, and conflicting. The evidence is more convincing for some than others. Many remain convinced that selenium, for example, can reduce the risk of prostate and gastrointestinal cancer. The evidence for soy protein lowering the risk of breast, prostate and lung cancer is convincing. It's hard to argue against the theoretical benefits of increased intake of antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin A, C and E). Other nutrients-- Calcium, Folic Acid, Lycopene, Vitamin D along with multivitamins in general, have been considered. Research continues. Doctors thought combining natural compounds including flavonoids and alkaloids might have anti- cancer effects. In the lab, doctors treated breast, colorectal, lung, and melanoma cancer cell-lines with a combination of curcumin and quercetin. Together, curcumin and quercetin reduced cancer cell proliferation and triggered apoptosis-or programmed cell death. Discussing the findings, doctors said this is the first study to combine curcumin and quercetin to generate a synergistic anti-cancer effect, including inhibiting cancer cell reproduction and accelerating cancer cell death. (Reference: Phytomedicine; January, 2019, Vol. 52, 117-28) While conclusive proof may be lacking, the question you should be asking yourself is whether or not the possible benefits outweigh any downside. At the very least, taking a broad spectrum multivitamin multimineral and extra antioxidants would seem to be reasonable. Curcumin and Quercetin Inhibit Cancer Willner Chemists Product Recommendations by Arnie Gitomer At the present time, none of our suppliers makes a combination of Curcumin and Quercetin. However, they are available individually from many different companies. Page 81
