So a few more questions about the WBMrms and how I dry them and could there be negatives about eating them uncooked.
\
I used the lowest heat on the dehydrator which is around 40 degrees centigrade, dry them until crisp enough to break easily and then grind them to a fine powder in a coffee grinder.

There are some mycologists (fungus experts) who caution about eating them raw, saying they may be difficult to digest as the cell wall is not easily digested and this produces vomiting in some folk. I had no trouble as I think the grinding process breaks down the cell walls.
Also, there are some potentially harmful hydrazine compounds in them which are reduced by cooking. This may be true but the quantities are very small compared to harmful doses of hydrazine, and the history of eating these mushrooms goes back to ancient times without known ill effects other than a few idiosyncratic effects (personal allergies) as can occur with almost any food.

Doses. I used the maximum dose for three months. On reading the full paper I realized that one of the most successful results was with the highest dose, 14grams of powder, the other equally successful result was with the medium dose of 8grams daily. In future, I will use 8 grams to be on the safe side for long term use.

In a long-term study, women who had an intake of these mushrooms equal to one mushroom per day (cooking not mentioned but most likely) had a 30% reduction in breast cancer rates. So if aromatase is the main cause of this it may survive cooking, but there are two other. mechanisms that? they use to help destroy cancer cells so even this is not certain. There are few studies on these mushrooms, most are by personal experiments by mycologists, not scientific studies.

My Dr. was very interested in my PSA result and requested a copy of the full paper when I said it was due to white button mushrooms as I had not had the Androgen Deprivation Therapy injection due three months previously. He is of Indian extraction and is more interested in traditional medicine than my Urologist was even though I told him about the Budwig Diet. I delivered the printout to the Dr's office this morning.

This simple food seems to hold promise for us with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that is not responding to anything else but debilitating anti-hormone therapy. At least it is a food so it is not in direct conflict with the Budwig Diet ;)

Love to all, Julian
