Hey Larry,
I have been reading your informative posts for a while now. I have taken several of your suggestions, and I appreciate your advice and expertise.
I read an article today by Andrew Weil who talks about the immunity-strengthening properties of a few mushrooms (cordyceps, zhu ling, and Ling Zhi). Also it mentions a supplement called "Host Defense" by New Chapter which supposely contains these and other mushrooms which promote healthy immune system functioning. Do you know anything about this supplement or any other similar ones?
Thanks!

> -psychloverThe evidence for immune regulatory effects is not overwhelming, but it's pretty convincing. Purchasing a supplement (e.g. maitake extract) doesn't really appeal to me, when you can get fresh shiitake, oyster, maitake etc. mushrooms in the grocery. Even canned ones would be beneficial, IMHO. If you don't like the taste, an extract might be the way to go.

Thanks, Lar. Keep up the good work.
Just to let you know, I just ordered some NADH, zinc, and selenium, and I started Mg a few days ago. I will let you know my experience with them.
Thanks!
