Diabetes Treatment
Chanterelles contain almost no proteins and carbohydrates, but the amount of fiber is high. Because of this, they can be attributed to dietary products. At the same time, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that make up the body support the body and normalize metabolic processes. Due to this, the pancreas and the liver will not be overloaded, which means that the production of the necessary enzymes will become regular and will go in sufficient quantities. This action allows you to smoothly return to normal sugar levels and restore pancreatic and liver work in diabetics.

Fight against worms and parasites
Chinomanose (chitinmanose) - a polysaccharide that can destroy the shell of eggs and larvae of worms; it also speeds up the breakdown of sugars and other substances that parasites feed on. Its only drawback is very unstable and collapses under the action of even a low temperature (above 60 ° C). Because of this, the beneficial effect can be obtained only in the treatment of dried mushrooms.
Recipe anthelmintic tincture: 2-3 tsp. powder poured 200 ml of vodka. Infused 14 days away from light and at low temperatures. Drink 1-2 teaspoons for 2 months.

Well, and in these New Year holidays, I wish as many guys as possible from the forum this year to get rid of this filth forever !!!
And we are now in homeopathy! )
I want to share my personal experience about the parasites.
my husband is a hunter, a fisherman and spends a lot of time in the north far from civilization. Siberia is a hotbed, and the world's largest opisthorchus is known. So far in the taiga it has to eat water from Siberian rivers and lakes, as well as fish, etc. . It brings a lot of delicacies prepared by the local population and so on. As a consequence, three out of four in our family are infected with opisthorchosis. The eldest daughter does not accept river fish in general and she has no one parasites. The youngest and her husband periodically appear skin rashes, especially her husband. For the last three years that he has not treated or consumed, but the spots on the skin have continued to grow and crawl telu.To it is that opisthorchosis doctors have long been determined, but the treatment did not help, although he did not want to apply the radical method of chemical baiting (for now). Once in the market, he wanted to buy mushrooms, but there were some chanterelles the cat traded their powers but she was indignant and told a lot of different stories about the healing properties of these mushrooms, and especially they do well with parasites. Without hesitation, I bought chanterelles, dried them and made a vodka tincture of mushrooms after three weeks. the second week, the spots on the skin turned pale, and then disappeared altogether. The results were re-sounding shocked, 5 in sight (this is opistorh), but it was completely. I rummaged through the Internet and indeed such properties of chanterelles have long been known.
Question: Malinka, and can be more detailed about technology with chanterelles?
From the answer Malinki:
"To prepare a vodka tincture, 1 tablespoon dried chanterelles powdered and chanterelled pour 200 g of vodka and insist for 10 days, stirring daily. Do not filter, shake before drinking and drink with sediment: helminthic invasions - 2 tsp in the evening before sleep for 20 days, liver disease (obesity, hemangioma, cirrhosis), pancreas - 1 tsp daily in the evening 3-4 months; hepatitis - 1 tsp morning and evening for 4 months; when cleaning liver - 2 tsp in the evening 15 days. This is a recipe from the Internet, we made about 4 spoons of mushrooms for 500 ml vodka. Before each use to shake up and drink together with mushrooms, the husband drank for the night within three weeks.
interesting information: Healing properties: In chanterelles there is a substance of chitinmanose that is not tolerated by worm bugs, as well as helminths of all kinds. If there are chanterelles, then not only all the worms will quickly leave your cozy organism, but their larvae will die. True, the medicinal substance loses its properties when heated to 60 ° C, and when it is cold salted it is destroyed by salt. So, for medicinal purposes, it is better to use fresh and dried mushrooms or make tinctures. By the way, infusion of chanterelles, also has long been treated for angina, furunculosis and boils. The fact is that it is in chanterelles that the most antibiotic substances are found, thanks to which chanterelles also inhibit the growth of tubercle bacilli. And yet, chanterelles, unlike other fungi, do not accumulate radioactive substances, but on the contrary, contribute to the removal of radionuclides from the body. Chanterelles contain vitamins A, B1, B2, PP, trace elements zinc, copper. "
So now I'm puzzling where to get dried chanterelles ... winter is on the nose (((
I admit that the chanterelle decoction really helps to get rid of parasites and is allowed for use by children. But ... I myself haven’t eaten mushrooms for 10 years already - it’s elementary scary - they now mutate because of environmental degradation and accumulate in themselves heavy metal salts and other periodic tables that spilled along with the rain
Ask any doctor of the toxicology department how many people get to them, not any drunks, but normal, experienced mushroom pickers, who ate ordinary aspen mushrooms, and then they were barely pumped out? By the way, I don’t eat mushrooms after I lay down there with an intestinal infection and saw how one woman died after eating mushrooms, and the other was caustic from syringes, she tried to tongue, pumped her out, of course, but toxic damage liver and kidney will now haunt her the rest of her life.
My resume: worms, this, of course, is very unpleasant, bears a danger to health and all that, but giving something from today's mushrooms is even more dangerous. I think it’s impossible to get rid of worms at all: cry: Ascaris are well treated, but the rest is dirty ... And, by the way, about the dubious informativeness of the analysis for parasites: our doctor told me that one girl had clear signs of severe parasite infestation, but the parents did not they wanted “just in case”, only because of the suspicion of the doctor, to “poison” the child, and for three months they were tested. Everyones - and scrapes, and blood, in all sorts of ways, and not in the clinic, but at the department of parasitology, and all analyzes were clean. And only when the child began to tear worms, the parents were personally convinced that worm invasion is taking place
Here is such a perdimonocle
