In 2004 I found out my diagnosis - breast cancer.
It was a great shock for me.
I didn't know what to do. How to act.
On one hand I am a doctor... on the other I'm only human.
The whole world just crumbled all around me.
It really is a moment one can only go through... alone.
Then I, from a colleague, also a doctor,
heard about dr. Jakopovich and the company DR MYKO SAN
who produce preparations from mushrooms
that can halt the growth of cancer.
In autumn last year(2007), in Ljubljana, the Fourth International Medicinal Mushroom Conference
was held.
It gathered about 300 scientists and experts from about 50 countries.
In the Conference I presented the results of the analysis
on the use of massive doses of medicinal mushroom extracts
in 105 cases of breast carcinoma and 51 cases of colorectal carcinoma.
It was conducted on people with advanced, recurrent and metastatic
carcinoma, who, from the start of 2004 until mid 2007,
during that period, used massive doses of medicinal mushroom extracts,
for, on average, 40-80 days...
It was an invasive, ductal carcinoma, which occupied 22 lymph nodes
axillary with marked supraclavicular node and beside arteria mammaria interna.
From these findings, the clinical diagnosis of the disease was very bad.
At the end of the study, about two-thirds of patients with breast carcinoma were alive
and 80% of them had an unchanged or improved status.
The results of the patients with colorectal carcinoma was similar.
NARRATOR: DR MYKO SAN is the first Croatian and European producer
of preparations from medicinal mushrooms and among World's finest in the field.
When I first came into contact with mushrooms, to be a bit amusing,
I didn't know anything about mushrooms except for button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
and Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), which I have eaten.
I met dr. Jakopovich some 5-6 years ago,
he came to Rudjer Boskovic Institute, with his preparations,
and a request to analyze them on our models.
I must admit, I've never before worked with mushrooms, with extracts,
but for 40 years I've worked with tumors.
The first Croatian research of the most prominent effects - the anti-tumor effects
of some species of mushrooms was conducted in a cooperation between the company
DR MYKO SAN - HEALTH FROM MUSHROOMS and Rudjer Boskovic Institute.
The second research, this time under the sponsorship from the
Croatian Ministry of Science and Education is titled 'The Medicinal Effects of Mushroom Extracts'.
This time we are studying some 30 different mushroom species, the anti-tumor effects
of the various compounds found in them.
As we studied tumors for many years and the effects of various preparations on tumor growth
we accepted that and ran some preliminary tests on cancer cell model growing in culture
and on tumor models growing in mice.
Our first results, testing on in vitro models, on cell cultures, of course, normal and tumor cells
(carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma) it was noticed that defined mushroom extracts
strongly halt the division of tumor cells, the larger the dose the stronger the effect,
however, what is very interesting, the normal cells act differently.
Large dose actually increases the growth of healthy cells in culture.
Secondly, another interesting result, is the effect on animal models, lab mice, where transplanted
tumors grow: carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma. Here is a diagram - the mice with growing tumors
if they took mushroom extract ONLY
live significantly longer than those which did not receive this therapy.
Some mushroom species are strong, and totally harmless, natural immunostimulants
and immunomodulators. That means they strengthen and adjust the action of
the immune mechanisms in humans.
Our preparations are based on those principles, our mushroom extracts with anti-tumor effects.
One of them, in a way the basic preparation is called LENTIFOM which is a liquid extract
of several medicinal mushroom species;
AGARIKON, with contains an even greater number of chosen medicinal mushrooms species
are used, especially LENTIFOM, in high doses. These doses are based on the research
conducted at the Japanese National Cancer Research Institute.
Mushroom extracts are efficient, not only against tumors, or in the fight of the
organism against tumor, because, I repeat drug is a drug, the organism is organism;
the one who wins against the disease is an organism and we are only assisting it with drugs
either by conventional therapy, in cases of tumors we use cytostatics, or by something from
Mother Nature, as in this case a mushroom extract or something similar.
In Japan and China exist, for a long time now, registered drugs which are among the most
often used, because they are very efficient and totally harmless.
These drugs are used there as part of standard therapy of tumor diseases together
with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, because the combined effects are stronger and
the side-effects of standard oncological therapy are greatly reduced.
I endured chemotherapy all right, I was a bit nauseated,
meaning I felt the urge to vomit. However, I endured it much, much better
than other patients who did not use these preparations, from mushrooms.
From the beginning I had taken forte dosages of LENTIFOM and SUPER POLYPORIN.
Created on a recipe by dr. Jakopovich.
All of these results, all the analysis show the beneficial effects of using extracts
of medicinal mushrooms, as an addition to the standard therapy of tumors, both as a help
in halting tumor and in helping patients endure standard oncological therapies easier.
Aside from tumors, where else can your products be used with success?
Some of our products aim to help people suffering from viral diseases, especially
more difficult viral infections - like hepatitis and AIDS.
Next, the people suffering from cardiovascular diseases, including the most difficult cases like
heart attack and stroke patients,
to regulate blood pressure, blood fats levels, blood sugar levels - all of which are the main
reasons cardiovascular diseases appear.
Also, they can be used against neurodegenerative diseases, including some very serious diseases,
like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.
Is there, among your preparations, something healthy people can use to improve their health
to an even higher level?
With just that purpose in mind we've created MYKOTONIK, a specific tonic, adaptogen and
immunostimulans from some species of mushrooms.
MYKOTONIK improves general and specific immunity, increases the ability to deal with stress,
it even increases physical strength and endurance, reduces fatigue, improves sleep;
in short, for people who are too busy, for athletes, since it's completely harmless,
even for children, who are more sensitive it is a very good, and safe, help.
The bottom line is it enables one to live a longer life and with better quality.
Dr Myko San Company has developed 11 different preparations from medicinal mushrooms
the products are made on proprietary recipes, based on modern scientific research.
Compared to cancer patients who only use standard therapy, the users of mycotherapy
die less often, live longer and with improved quality of life.
Today, I am completely without symptoms... Like the cancer was just taken away.
