My motivation to create Health Balance is personal. When a loved one was diagnosed with breast cancer, the feeling of helplessness and despair was big. To combat this, I spent weeks researching, speaking to health care professionals and functional medicine practitioners. While many papers were written on the potential of functional mushrooms or plant medicine in this arena, there were too many “mays” and “likely’s”. About 3 years ago this research started becoming mainstream and receiving the attention and funding needed. (Arguably, women’s health care lags) April 14, 2021 Heather Alexander published “Can mushrooms help during cancer treatment?”, such a simple question. Then a year later Lisa D. Yee, (City of Hope Medical) continued opening this discussion. Several newer studies confirm this information. Our formulation contains five functional mushrooms and fungi that are shown as most effective in dealing with the results of Breast Cancer Treatment. Thus, this mix is anti-inflammatory, immune-strengthening, boosting T-cell dependent immune responses, increasing natural killer cell counts, while slowing down estrogen production. In summary, these compounds can improve the quality of life, as well as immunological and hematologic parameters. Additionally, these substances have shown anti-tumor, anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory activities. Health Balance leaves out four important fungi, Chaga, Maitake and Lions Mane as some can have interactions with blood thinners. Health Balance contains: Reichi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, Sang Hwang and Antrodia Camphorata. We try very hard to strike a balance between efficacy and safety. As a wonderful side benefit, this mixture is meaningful when dealing with systemic inflammation such as; polymyalgia rheumatica, Lupus, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
