Re: Re: Cordyceps Mushroom

August 25, 2010

Speaking of Chinese medicine...Whatever happened with all the parents that started doing TCM last year w/ Dr. Peng? Any news to report? How'd it go? Are you guys still doing it?

I actually just ordered some and will let you all know how it goes. I ordered it specifically because of the way it is suppose to make the ATP cycle work, and I keep having Zytos done that say mine is being dysrupted, causing Fibromyalgia-type symptoms. If it works, I will be very happy and spread the word. Cordyceps is a creepy-looking mushroom that grows on caterpillars. Life is strange.

Love and prayers,

I was one who jumped on the Dr. Peng/TCM band wagon. Although I feel TCM can be very effective, like everything else, it works for some and not for others. Our problem was that I was asked to stop all supplements that my daughter was taking, and then when TCM didn't pan out, my daughter was in a very bad place, and completely crashed. Because, as you know, sometimes it takes months to get them on these supplements (with die-off and all), so I was never able to get her back. So I feel like it works, but maybe it's like homeopathy in you have to get the exact right formula, and we clearly weren't able to get that. It took MP and his amazing ZYTO a few of months to put her back together, and now a year and a half later, I'm happy to say, she is

doing marvelous, the best she's ever been!!

I just got a zyto test done on my son. I'll be taking the results to my DAN since she used to work with MP so she should be able to read it. The guy that did the zyto for us doesn't really know how to apply any of it to autism but I did tell him that if he was interested, he might try giving MP a call and see if he could talk to him. He's interested, I just don't know if MP will talk to him.
