Why I Didn't Take Medication When I Got Viral Infection?

Normal fever vs Viral Infection


Initially I thought I was having normal fever, and it did goes off after 1 day, however, the fever keeps on coming back. As you may know, fever is a body reaction where our body secretes a hormone to temporary increase body temperate so that our immune cells able to fight those bacteria and virus more effectively. As most bacteria and virus activities are low at higher temperature, thus a fever is a sign that your immune system is at work, fighting the intruders inside your body. A viral infection is a disease that can be caused by different kinds of viruses, of which the influenza-virus is best known. A viral infection can be in different places in the body, some viruses are mainly in the intestine, while others prefer the lungs and airways. With a viral infection you usually have a fever, but other complaints can range from abdominal pain and diarrhea to coughing and shortness of breath. The symptoms that I encountered was come-and-go fever and coughing, and shortness of breath. (more info read here: Viral Infection)

Medication Prescribed by Doctor



Above were the 3 medication prescribed by doctor, I had summarised in the table below:


To read more about the above medication, please refer: 

It is very clear that those medication prescribed by doctor has their side effects, and each of them may have more than one side effects. Imagine what will happen to my body if I taking these medications without second thought. Please read carefully the "Uses" column, each medication has their own purpose. However, there is one common thing that these medication shares, which is treat symptoms! Yes, all these medication can relieve my symptoms of coughing, fever, and stuffy nose, but there is one thing you must remember, the reason why you coughing is your lungs are trying to remove bacteria/viruses from respiratory system! The reason why you have stuffy nose is because the nasal mucus are actually trying to stop bacteria/viruses from entering your inner respiratory system. 

Your body behave such because of its natural protecting feature, which protecting you from getting sick. And medication are actually trying to stop your body to do its jobs! Furthermore, taking medication will increase the burden of our liver and kidney as these two organs main features are detoxification. This is why I didn't take medication when I got viral infection.

How Our Immune System Combat Virus Attack?

Do you know that, our immune system is actually the best doctor in the world?

Here is the video showing how our immune cells works : video

Polysaccharides Are Effective Against Virus Attack

Polysaccharides from mushrooms are proven to be able to increase Natural Killer (NK) cells' activity by 38-49 fold. 

Read more here: The Magic of Mushrooms

During the days where I was infected by viruses, I make sure that I consumed more Polysaccharides, as well as Antioxidant and Phytochemicals, these 3 nutrients are the fuel for stronger immunity, based on Nutritional Immunology.


As a conclusion, I am now recovered from viral infection without any medication!

The Magic of Mushrooms

Mushrooms are magical plant foods, many studies have confirmed that its rich nutrients can effectively contribute to immune system function and help the body strengthen capacity for the prevention and treatment of disease. Recognized by its extraordinary effect not just for the global, more in China and Japan and widely together with clinical chemotherapy to treat cancer. Mushrooms are so amazing, due to its main bioactive polysaccharides. 

Polysaccharides from different kinds of mushrooms contain a variety of ingredients, each play has different effects on the immune system and impacts 

Clinical trials have also shown that use many kinds of mushrooms than a single species can achieve greater results. The key of effectiveness of polysaccharides are highly depends on its amount of usage and matching, only the appropriate dose and proportion able to produce the best results. 

Concentration extraction of polysaccharides are way more effective than mushroom which has been ground into powder. 

ABM mushrooms 


Agaricus Blazel Murill (ABM) Mushroom, also known as God's Mushroom, Sun Mushroom and Princess Mushroom, are found in Sao Paolo Brazil. It was discovered 40 years ago by a Japanese immigrant, Furumoto, who lived in Brazil, noticed that the local people had uncommonly good health and experienced little geriatric disease or cancer. And ABM mushroom was part of their daily diet.


Researchers has discovered that ABM mushroom is rich in both polysaccharides, Beta-1, 3-D-glucan and Beta-1, 6 D-glucan. These two polysaccharides restore and support the body's immune system by stimulating the production of cancer-fighting lymphocyte T-cells, helper T-cells, interferon and interleukin. As a powerful antiviral agent, it can prevent viruses and harmful agents from entering delicate tissue.

In 1995, Dr Mandooh Ghuneum, Ph.D. at King Drew Medical Center of UCLA, found that the ABM mushroom increases the total number of immune cells throughout the body. Furthermore, he discovered that this mushroom not only increase the number of natural killer (NK) cells, but also makes each individual NK cell more powerful (38-49 fold increase over control).


Coriolus Versicolor 

Being the world's top selling, all natural treatment for cancer today, Coriolus Versicolor contains two types of polysaccharides, PSK and PSP. Both polysaccharides has strong anti-viral and anti-tumor effects, and has been proven to help in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. When PSK combined with chemotherapy, it can enhance the effectiveness of the drug, PSK treatment of chronic diseases is one of the safest and most effective substance. 


Kenneth Bock, MD, is the medical director over two clinics in New York City. He prescribes PSK for patients with cancer or viral infection and has specifically performed studies on the effects of PSK on natural killer (NK) cell activity. Dr Bock has give PSK to patients with low blood readings and after several month, retested and found the results were very satisfactory for many of these patients.

Maitake mushrooms 

Dr Hiroaki Nanba, of the Pharmaceutical University at Kobe, Japan, found that Maitake is rich in beta-glucan, phospholipids and other polysaccharides, which are powerful immune Launcher. Maitake mushroom is the most potent immunostimulant of all mushrooms and has the ability to not only enhance immune function, but also to inhibit tutor growth. 


Dr Nanba and his colleagues found that Maitake mushroom promotes the action of not only macrophages, the leukocytes that are responsible for indentifying and engulfing foreign cells in the body, but also a variety of other immune-related calls, such as natural killer (NK) cells, cytotoxic T-cells, and killer cells, which can attack tumor cells. T-cells are also responsible for body's defence against tumor metastases.

Through extensive experimental studies, researchers have found the beneficial activities of Maitake mushroom to include protecting healthy cells from becoming cancerous, helping to prevent metastasis of cancer, inhibiting the growth of tutors, and lessening the side effects of chemotherapy agents. 


Ganoderma lucidum 

Also known as Reishi mushroom, it has been used to treat liver disorders, hypertension and arthritis for thousands of years. In cancer treatment, it is being used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, enhance survival rate, reduce likelihood of metastasis, improve quality of life and help prevent the recurrence of cancer. 


Shiitake 

For centuries, Asians have been using Shiitake to treat the bad colds, flu, blood circulation, gastrointestinal discomfort and fatigue. Its’ polysaccharide Lentinan and LEM has many features to enhance immunity, including the activation of natural killer cells and increased production Y- interferon. Studied has confirmed that LEM to improve chronic illness, chronic stress, or aging medical practices impaired immune system. The study also found that the use of mushroom polysaccharides prior radiation therapy treatment, can effectively prevent decreasing in white blood cell count.

This mushroom contains all eight essential amino acids in better proportions than soy beans, meat, milk or eggs, not to mention a good blend of vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B, B12, C, D and Niacin. 


Polysaccharides

Polysaccharides is a long chain molecule, usually found in certain mushrooms, scientists have found that polysaccharides have good effect on cancer. Identified by the studies, these mushrooms polysaccharides can activate immune cells, inhibit tumor growth. Mushroom contains polysaccharide by increasing natural killer cell (NK) cells and interferon (interferon) and interleukins (interleukin) to prevent and destroy cancer cells and viruses. 


Interferons and Interleukin

Interferons are a group of proteins in human cells generated when exposed to virus attacks. When the body is infected, interferon was created to serve as a first line of Defense of the immune system, and inhibit the growth and replication of the virus. Interferon was found to have anti-tumor effects. 

Interleukin is a group of protein responsible for cells transmit chemical information, launching a specific immune response of white blood cells to destroy foreign substances attack, while promoting the proliferation of immune cells, and immune system function.
