In case this is useful for anyone, this study on high-risk HPV and medicinal mushrooms blew my mind:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25271984/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25271984/
In 88% (36 out of 41) of patients with high-risk HPV, taking reishi + turkey tail mushrooms daily for 2 months cleared the virus, versus 5% clearance (1 out of 20) in the control group. I suspect that 88% clearance rate would be higher if they continued for longer than 2 months.

- volkl48 1mo agoSorry, but no. This does not pass the smell test in the slightest. This is: - A single author paper with no academic affiliations. - A search on the internet for this author finds them also pitching essential oils and a wide variety of other "alternative medicine" on the Youtube/Podcast grifter circuit and not the sorts of alternative medicine anyone seriously thinks might have some merit. - The address listed for his supposed place of practice appears to be a roadside "clini-spa" advertising beauty treatments. - This could only get published in some low-impact journal that's solely about the purported benefits of mushrooms, even though if true this would be a pretty revolutionary finding that would be of interest to far bigger journals. Can I prove it's fraud? No, especially since I'm not paying $25 to look at the paper details. But unless this finding replicates from someone with credibility, I don't think this means much of anything and I certainly don't think you should be taking anything in this paper as a fact.
