May 12, 2016 - The extracts of Inonotus obliquus (Chaga mushroom) demonstrate potent anti-tumor activities and have been used to treat cancer in several countries; however, the actual effect and underlying mechanisms are still unclear.

Re: Opinions on Chaga as a supplement. Thousands of times more anti oxidants than blueberries
Much research has been conducted on Chaga's ability to fight cancer, and numerous studies and experiments have proved its effectiveness. It was the book "The Cancer Ward" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, that gave the world a glimpse of what this mushroom can do to cancer patients.

Because of this book, many medical researchers went to Siberia to check out the validity of its cancer claims. A medical team found out that although there was a lot of talk about cancer in this place, not even a single cancer patient was admitted in any of its hospitals. They also found out that the Russian peasants, in order to save money on coffee, were brewing Chaga mushrooms instead. Unwittingly, they were able to treat themselves for cancer by drinking this Chaga tea regularly.

Re: Opinions on Chaga as a supplement. Thousands of times more anti oxidants than blueberries
One of the most amazing superfoods on Earth. I drink it 3 times a day. Chaga gets it medicinal properties from growing on birch trees as they can survive in conditions which would kill a human being in a matter of hours (-70f). You can often see cylinders of white birch bark on the forest floor with the centre rotted away. This is because the medicine which keeps the tree alive is in the bark. When that medicine is taken by a human the benefits are transferred. Anyone can realise this by consuming Chaga. Almost immediately there will be an increase in strength, energy and the body's stress tolerance.

Chaga has the power of sterols. As a nutritional delivery system of plant sterols it rules supreme. Without sterols (steroids) there would be no life. The physical strength of cells depends on them and the Endocrine Function (Human's ability to 'cope') is fed by them.

Chaga can clean air pollution particles and plastic particles out of your body. It can also neutralise SuperOxides (dangerous free radical) as it is rich in the enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (O2-). SOD is a stable negative ion which can donate an electron to free radicals without becoming a free radical itself. It's this donating of a negative electron which neutralises the positive charge of the free radical.

Medicines which can truly regenerate the body are rare. Cures from medicinal trees can do this. Substances which can keep these massive lifeforms alive are very powerful. With these cures the results are rapid and dependable. Trees must withstand the stresses of pollution, harsh weather, sunlight, limited oxygen and pestilence. It is the chemicals they produce which allows them to do so. When these chemicals are ingested by humans there is no doubt about the effects. They are definite, provable and powerful.

Good for you man you will not regret it :)

Here's how to make a decoction/tea

12g of ground Chaga (Coarse is fine).
1 litre of pre boiled water.

Add the Chaga to the water (I use a 5ltr water boiler with a thermostat) and slowly bring it to 50 degrees centigrade.

Hold it at that temperature for 48hrs.

You can start drinking it after 6 hours and it will contain many of the medicinal compounds but you need the long warm soak to release the beta glucans and polysaccharides.

It doesn't have to be refrigerated but it is refreshing cold. They say it's good for 3 days but it doesn't spoil.

Re: Opinions on Chaga as a supplement. Thousands of times more anti oxidants than blueberries
Previous posters who consume Chaga, Where do you buy it? Fresh is very pricey so is powder OK?

Tamethespirit.com is the cheapest source that I've found. Has anyone ever ordered products from that online source?

Amazon has several entries for Chaga but it's more costly and there's an extra shipping charge. In any case I don't know which I should buy.

I pay around £35 for 500g of Siberian Chaga on Amazon but I can get it much cheaper if I buy in bulk from the source on Ebay. Alaskan Chaga is very good and will be cheaper for you guys in the USA. The best way to take any plant (100% bioavailable) is a spagyric tincture you can buy them on Amazon too.

The best Chaga comes from the coldest places because that's where it has to work very hard to stay alive. As it extracts the medicinal compounds from the Birch Tree it protects itself from the sub-zero temperatures with a hard black covering of potent antioxidants. The brown/golden inside is condensed nutrient rich sap. Always look for bits of both black and brown pieces when buying powder or coarsely ground Chaga. The black outside crust contains the most powerful medicine.

Highly recommended. Paul is one of the greatest people of the 21st century so far, imo.

Re: Opinions on Chaga as a supplement. Thousands of times more anti oxidants than blueberries
I use a slow cooker on low to brew my chaga tea but here are some tips from Chaga Master DG of Quesnel, BC:

CHAGA: HELPING CHAGA HELP YOU

The first confirmed use of the Chaga mushroom dates back 5,300 years, to when Ötzi the Iceman (a Chalcolithic European who is the world’s oldest known natural mummy) carried some Chaga with him in a deerskin pouch.

The longer Chaga is steeped in water, the more of its water soluble benefits become available. After using the grinds for tea you can then gain further medicinal benefits by making a tincture from the alcohol soluble Chaga components.

For tea I recommend having a dedicated Chaga pot (glass, stainless steel or better.) Add a teaspoon of grinds per litre of water. I only heat to tea temperature, never boiling. Strain out into your cup and return any Chaga grinds back into the pot. Fill pot back up with water. It can be left on stove making it convenient to drink daily, adding more Chaga grinds when tea weakens (every 5 -6 days.)

After a month I strain out the Chaga, let drip dry, spread on parchment paper covered cookie sheet and freeze. I tamp the frozen Chaga grinds into a glass jar and cover with alcohol (I use vodka or the higher proof spiced rum.) This mixture will darken up over time and you can use it as a medicinal tincture by adding it to smoothies etc . . .

I have been known to make a delightful boreal forest martini by shaking the Chaga vodka tincture up with double the quantity of High Bush Cranberry juice and a tablespoon of Birch syrup!!

After straining out the tincture I also eat the remaining grinds by mixing them on scrambled eggs or as a sprinkle on salads.

Chaga, this amazing medicinal mushroom, goes a long way!!
