Compounds from mushrooms have been shown to stop tumor growth, improve physical stamina, and enhance mental well-being. The right mushrooms also provide powerful immune-strengthening actions.  The medicinal value of mushrooms and their ability to prevent and treat upper respiratory tract infections was driven home to me after an experience on a recent trip. I don’t get ill very often, but travel, especially with the proximity and enclosed space of airline travel, definitely increases the risk of infection. On this occasion, I fell ill and felt utterly knocked out. As it happened, I was meeting some of the people who had been researching the immune-bolstering properties of oyster mushrooms. And fortunately, my contact in Europe provided me with supplemental pleuran from this very source. I started taking it, and within three days, I was completely recovered! Needless to say, this has been one of my favorite discoveries to date. And I’m not alone. As I travel through Europe, I make it a priority to stop in pharmacies to see what is selling in natural medicines. I often find this same pleuran from oyster mushrooms sold in two different formulations: 100 mg pleuran plus 100 mg of vitamin C as a daily preventative supplement for children and adults, and an acute formulation for adults taken during an active infection, with 300 mg of pleuran plus 160 mg of vitamin C and 10 mg of zinc. Clinically studied for over 25 years, oyster mushroom pleuran is extremely popular in Europe and has been available around the world for 25 years. It’s now found in 40 countries. It helps you breathe easier, clears sinuses, controls coughs, prevents infections, and speeds recovery. Fortunately for all of us, it is now available in the United States. Pleuran from Oyster Mushrooms Strength Trains Your Immune System  Some researchers have referred to the stimulating effect that oyster mushroom pleuran has on the immune system as “trained immunity.” Pleuran reprograms immune cell reactions and, over time, helps build resistance. Interestingly, while pleuran is named, in part, after the species of mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, that contains it, “pleura” also refers to the lungs specifically, and breathing and sinus clarity generally. Experience and clinical studies show that it is a very appropriately named component of these mushrooms. Mushrooms have been part of culinary and medical traditions for generations, but we’re only beginning to unravel why they work so well to strengthen the immune system. Pleuran is an insoluble beta-glucan found only in oyster mushrooms that interacts with Peyer’s patches, which are immune-influencing sites in the small intestines. These small groups of follicle-like tissues are connected to the lymphatic system. They work as part of the immune system’s early warning system and will alert and activate lymphocytes, white blood cells that intercept and stop bacterial and viral invaders. Once pleuran binds to macrophage receptors in the intestinal wall, protective responses are activated. Pleuran also prevents viral infiltration and replication and encourages healthy gut bacteria, which also boosts immune resistance to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Seasonal Colds and Flus are Not Inevitable Cold and flu season affects everyone, especially kids. When you consider that children typically have had less time to develop strong immune systems and spend much of their days in close proximity with other kids, it’s easy to see why upper respiratory infections are so common. In fact, they typically get 6 to 8 colds per year. Not surprisingly, these infections spread to entire families, with everyone either becoming ill or taking care of those who are under the weather. At that point, time off from school and altered work schedules become the norm, no matter how careful you are. If this situation sounds familiar, I’m here to tell you that it does not need to be inevitable.
