I have taken the Coenzyme Q-10 and I tell you!!! it was amazing how great I felt.
This was about 3 years ago, and was working with a ND that had me on this. He had t a pure form that was used for all his cancer patients. He specialized in cancer/alternative therapies, but did agree with the drugs some need.
Anywyas, I felt so energized, and it was unreal. I may try it again, forgot about it, or use this mushroom.

Anyone have good results with this mushroom?

I was penduluming awhile back and my pendulum said I wanted the ****AKE mushroom.
I bough it and deadly herxing but felt much more energy. I am a blood type B, and this is fabulous for us.

I tried it later and it gave me too much energy, as in stimulated me and I felt like loosing it in head. i have to be careful as the lyme affects my mind and if I stimulate too much or the wrong way, I am sicker.

I have two of those things, now all I need is the cordyceps.

I am going to try the ****ake again tomm, see how I do, and if not well will try the cordyceps.

What brand do you buy? I am in Canada.

Also, what blood type are you?

thanks!

I do have a lot of energy, but not crazy or spinny just stamina from the cordyceps.

Anyway im gonna start taking the cordyceps..

it filters out offensive language

(As someone else pointed out earlier, many substances we take have equally gross family trees. )

Cordyceps:

"grows on the caterpillar larvae of insects belonging to the order Lepidoptera, e.g. moths belonging to the genus Hepialus (Hepialidae). It is presumed that part-spores (and conidia?), when encountered by the suitable host, may germinate and penetrate into the larva, where the fungus proliferate and infiltrate the circulatory system and finally kill the larva.

During autumn the mycelium stromatizes, and the larva becomes sclerotioid, leaving the exoskeleton of the larva intact. From sclerotified larvae the stipitate-capitate stromata develop the next spring or early summer, producing perithecia and ascospores. The conidial state, Paraisaria dubia, may develop on the same larva a few weeks after the perfect state. The fungus usually turn up on the same locality every year.'' http://www.uio.no/conferences/imc7/NFotm99/August99.htm

I do believe this is the same company that makes "Recovery" and they use the product *nutricol* as well in the ImmuneFx.

It contains the mushrooms (six - cordyceps is the second ingredient) as well as many anti-oxidants.

Have a look at the web site.

I bought a bottle a while ago, but never tried it. I get overwhelmed with all the supplement info sometimes. However, after reading this, I am going to give it a whirl for sure. Maybe it will help me wake up!

I just bought cordyceps and it says on the box that it is a mushroom like maitake and s*hitake.. Theres a picture and it looks like a long mushroom

Is it both..?

Thanks in advance

We fight fungus and yeast in out body (candidia)

Im allergic to 7 different molds

Yet this fungus is good for you....

Go figure!

I've felt great on his protocol...much more energy, head clarity as he 'balances' my body free of wind inbalance and kidney inbalance which were my two probelms according to him and eastern medicine. I don't know all the herbs he has me on..they're packed into these pills, I take 3 different ones 3times a day....theyare all natural , picked off the hills in tibet and made into prescriptions that he recommendd for me personally to help 'balance' out my body last june. my son has his own, which are totally different based on his symtposm..he too is feeling great.

WE see dr. Dhonden again this NOv. when he comes to Ny...Dr H sent me to him originally...I guess like anything else, alternative medicine works for some ad not others. He also has me on a strict diet, not to lose weight, but food to avoid that my certain body with it's imbalnaces can't tolerate ..this will put me back in balance adn make me feel better. again, my son and I have different foods to avoid..

for example I can't have anyting with mustard or mustard seeds in it, or pork, or cerain fruit, like cantelope, avacado or watermelon...and coffee is a big no no..

same for my son..coffee big no no, he said basically it throws every bodyout of balance...my son can have no poultry or anyting with wings, no large fruits, no nuts, or pnut butter, etc...

but my basic point was that cordyceps is one of the ingredients he puts fresh in these herbal balls for us, and it, along wit all the others has been effective for us...

my son no longer takes his abx sicne his last visit with dr. jones, and dr. H wants to slowly take me off mine starting in Oct. maybe pulse me twice a week and see how i do..

Both lyme doctors feel that now that I'm getting my immune system built up and my body 'in balance' it can probably handle whatever is left of the lyme on it's own without abx..jordan's been doing great!

If anyone wants info email me. CRime of lyme call me back..things have calmed down and I can give you more info now and how to get in touch with Dhonden if you want..

Not saying it will work for all, or everyone should try it...just thought I"d tell you about it adn that it's working for us, that's all.

Cordyceps is great stuff...CordyMax from Pharmanex is awesome 2 caps three times per day increases energy!!!

Anyone else get this reaction? Guess I should try it again....

Just changed my bicillin routine to 2 injections at the same time -- makes me sooooo tired the next day. And I was feeling so feisty for a while, too. Hells bells and buckets of blood, but this stuff is annoying. I'd do almost anything to feel more energetic.

Thanks for all the good info in this post.

Im 26 and have had a diminishing libido since i was 19...

Now i have no libido.. no such attraction to the opposite sex..

THIS SUCKS

anyway ive tried

yohimbee- (made me manic, parinoid and i felt like blood was coming out of my skin)

Horny Goat weed- (worked a little made me an insomniac)

Androsterone-(testosterone precurser,, worked a couple a times only for 2-3 minutes)

NADH--(whoa!! this stuff was powerfull at first,, could only handle 1/4 tab,, libido increased big time and energy,,to much with coffee----

The nadh tolerace grew quick within 2 weeks,,
the effects dropped off dramatically, and it also contributed to insomnia. If i dont touch it for a while then go back to it, this works for maybee 30 minutes.

Wellbutrin--(whoa! again,, seems way stimulating and huge side effects at first.
Could only handle 1/8 tab, if i took the 100mg as perscibed i would have gone to the er.--

Anyway worked myself up to 150mg a day, in several doses, then started taking the SR.

This is working a little, i notice i see alot more color which is good,, sex drive is increased a little,, but it is also stimulating on the heart and motor systems,.

I really am desperate for a libido again.
Cant think that im 26 with no sex drive.
and went through 2 years of major depression where i was exhausted sooo foggy in pain out of work and cried alot!!!

Weve all been through a lot compared to other people..

They have it easy!! With their high sex drive and viagra till their 80!!! whats the deal..

My LLMD tested testosterone 6 months ago,, it was fine.

I think its just the fog combined with pain any screwy neurotransmitters and psycological blocks...

I did have my neurotransmitters tested and they were 1/3 rd of even a low baseline!
dopmaine serotonin and norepinephrine

but my LLMD says that i need to put on some muscle mass.

I belive that muscle is better then fat with this and most diseases.

The fat stores the neurotoxins and endotoxins.

I know when i lost 60 pounds 3 years ago I felt great. Probabbly due to my increased immune system, and the release of all those toxins.

I too love to excersise, but as of this last year I wake up with tremendous foor and leg pain from it, and more disturbed sleep.

I think it might have something to do with the toxins moving around. Ive heard this before.
