Chaga mushroom can cure immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

Thanks to Russian virologists, it was recently established that a fungus growing on the trunk of a birch – chaga, can defeat not only influenza and smallpox, but also HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).

“During the research,” say Russian doctors, 82 strains of 44 species of mushrooms that grow in Siberia were isolated for the first time. The broadest spectrum of antiviral activity among them, as it turned out, is possessed by the strain of the fungus known as chaga. Knowledge in this area will soon allow the creation of drugs that can help in the treatment of many dangerous viruses.

Let’s remind that the Russian inhabitant knew about the properties of chaga about 6 centuries ago. The benefits of mushrooms have long been known in Japan. In this country, about a third of the various drugs associated with cancer treatment are based on substances obtained from mushrooms. They are not collected along noisy, dusty roads, as mushrooms have the ability to absorb toxins. And in ecologically clean places. Chaga mushroom was collected in Altai. And in the future they plan to grow in artificial conditions in the form of special biomass.
