Autism

Here are just some studies with Autism and NF-KappaB. (reason I am adding this is because reishi down regulates NF-kappaB) So theoretically, reishi should help autism if they have high nf-kappab inflammation in their brain!

Check out this video of a mom talking about her experience... NOTE: take it with lemon.. not sure why she said nothing acidic? ** Definitely watch **

And if you look up reishi - they found that NF-KappaB is downregulated by taking reishi. Most of this research is cancer based. But it still applies!
