    Maitake Gold 404 - Mark Stengler, N.D., CHT, HHP, N.M.D.

    Introduction

    The statistics are sobering. According to the American Cancer Society, men have about a one in two lifetime risk of developing cancer; women have about a one in three risk. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in North America next to heart disease. More than 1,500 Americans die each day from cancer. ¹ With statistics like these, it is no wonder health conscious consumers are seeking nontoxic, natural therapies that will assist their bodies in preventing as well as battling cancer. However, it is often difficult for consumers to separate fact from fiction, or real hope from hype, with the myriad of natural products available that claim cancer-fighting benefits.

    In addition, an increasingly toxic environment has placed a great burden on the cellular defenses of our bodies. As a result, many are in need of extra nutritional support to maintain a healthy immune system. Without a healthy defense system, one opens the floodgates to disease and poor vitality. A large percentage of the general public—as well as concerned doctors like myself—is availing itself of the best of what nature has to offer in order to live life to its fullest. The sheer number of nutritional products that fill health food store shelves is often overwhelming. There is one product, however, I have come to view as standing above all others: MaitakeGold 404®.

    This powerful ally in the battle against cancer and many other diseases is derived from the maitake (my-TAH-key) mushroom. So impressive is the science behind MaitakeGold 404® that one of the world’s most respected cancer institutes was awarded a $500,000 grant to conduct research on MaitakeGold 404® and its effects on breast cancer patients. This book will provide the information needed to understand what MaitakeGold 404® is, the scientific data that stands behind it, how it works, its safety record, and how best to use it both preventatively and therapeutically.

    1. What Is Maitake?

    Maitake as translated in Japanese means dancing mushroom. There are several different explanations as to how it came to be named. One is that in ancient Japan, people would dance with joy when they found maitake because it was so valuable and costly. Another version suggests that this overjoyed dance was because maitake is so delicious and healthful. Another explanation is that the fruiting bodies of clustered maitake overlap one another and resemble butterflies in a wild dance. ², ³

    The botanical name for maitake is Grifola (braided fungus) frondosa (leaf like). The mature mushroom has overlapping, large fleshy grayishbrown caps so is also sometimes referred to as Hen of the Woods, as it resembles the backside of a hen. Maitake grows in the forests of Asia, Europe, Canada, and parts of the Eastern United States. It grows in heavy clumps (sometimes 100 pounds or more) at the base of stumps and on the roots of trees. Indigenous to Northern Japan, maitake has long been a highly valued edible mushroom, described as having a meaty taste. One can often find it for sale in natural health grocery stores and Asian
