I agree, it's very important.

They're both very good.

agaricus blazei murrill (ABM)-- contains beta-glucan; much more effective than

shiitake or reishi. Has been effective w/liver cancer & myeloma. " Agaricus

blazeii is my favorite mushroom...Health Resource Center (HRC) in Dallas

(972-410-8020)...[is] a good [brand]†Lee Cowden, M.D, 10/17/10

maitake (Grifola frondosa; contains beta-glucan/D-faction)-- antioxidant; take

w/mung bean sprouts; I've seen 3-6g recommended; may mix it w/food/drink, but

don't heat it. Most effective w/(in order of efficacy) breast, prostate,

pancreatic, lung, & liver, cancer. Also effective w/melanoma, lymphocytic

leukemia [CLL], sarcoma (in mice), Kaposi's sarcoma. Much less (but still

occasionaly) effective in bone (only if combined w/chemo), brain, & stomach

cancer and leukemia. Prevents metastasis; enhances immunity; enhances the

effects of the chemo (including mitomycin-C (MMC)) and radiation; reduces side

effects of chemo; alleviated pain in 83% of patients. Maitake.com is good brand.
