Dr. Oz and cordyceps

pip57

Today Dr. Oz was talking about healthy (and unhealthy) foods.  He mentioned one as being used in the treatment of breast cancer.  I hadn't heard of it before and looked it up.  Here is what I found.

Oh, PIP, my naturopath told me to order this. It came and I can't find it. But you're right, it's supposed to be a good immune stimulant too.

My naturopath recommended a mushroom supplement that I have been taking for about three months now.  It starts with a C but isn't that name.  I guess it's working because I got a clear thermography scan after three months.

I read both of those articles



The top one talked about one being a mushroom suuplement to prevent reaccurance.



&the thing dr oz was talking about was some fungus from cattepilar larvae. Weird how do they harvest that.



Are these things combined?



What online store is recommended tobuy this stuff? My local organic herbal store can have double the price sometimes of online stores

Fredtan, could it be Serratia Peptidaze which is an enzyme cultivated from silkworm

If you search serrapeptase on BCO, you'll come across a few posts on the subject.  I remember Tuckertwo saying she takes it for pain, so do I 

Serratia peptidase has anti-inflammatory, anti-oedemic and fibrinolytic activity and acts rapidly on localized inflammation.
