    Hoelen – Poria Cocos Wolfiporia extensa

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3699575/

      Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. As one of the most aggressive human cancers, the 5-year survival rate of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is <5% (1). Recent studies suggested that bioactive compounds from mushrooms could protect against multiple myeloma, breast and skin cancer (25).

    Poria Cocos (also known as Wolfiporia extensa) is a medicinal mushroom in the Polyporaceae family that grows in pine trees and its sclerotium is widely used in traditional Asian medicine for its sedative, diuretic, digestive and tonic effects (68).

    Although the anticancer activity of polysaccharides extracted from P. Cocos is associated with the stimulation of immune response and these polysaccharides significantly enhance immunopotentiation (9), triterpenes isolated from P. Cocos have a direct inhibitory effect on cancer cells through a variety of mechanisms including inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis and suppression of invasive behavior (1016). However, the effect of triterpenes from P. Cocos against pancreatic cancer remains to be evaluated and the mechanism determined.

    oh the Tai chi and Chi Gong can be incorporated into the Taoism group if ever needed

    I want to start taking Tai Chi soon. I am so tired of stagnation from sitting around during these cold months. So, I should look forward to this group in the Taoism group.

    We're pretty good right now.  We just got away for a few days to see Michael's family and we enjoyed that.  Social isolation right into hurricane season but it could be worse!  Just as things were re-opening down here it looks like they are closing once more since covid is on the rise in Florida.  Stay safe Sis!

    Mystic, why don't you open a new group for sigils and symbolism, since you post so much in the reiki group. Although, SunKat has a sigil group on her site ..We had a symbolism group on Rosey's site...I'll be your admin if you do...up to you.

    Bright greetings Arachnifauna, I don't know that much about the Sigils so I don't want to open up a group and don't have the knowledge to share with others at this point in time but I have been researching the subject and may host the group later on. I want to check out SunKat and Roseys group on this subject.I do not want to duplicate what they already have on this subject.

  • Mystic Wolf

    What group is SunKat on so I can check her page out?
