Chaga mushroom from the birch trunk
-- Chaga mushroom (Latin: Inonotus Obliquus), also: polar
chaga mushroom, is a tree mushroom at trunks of birches (for
medical purposes), other chaga mushroom also can grow on
trunks of ash trees or on trunks of common hornbeam
Quote:
"The chaga mushroom contains many rare, essential mineral
and plant substances in high concentrations, which are
pulled out of the birch trunk or is forming itself."
(orig. German: "Der Chaga Pilz enthält viele
seltene, essenzielle Mineral- und Pflanzenstoffe in hoher
Konzentration, die er aus der Birke zieht oder selbst
bildet.")
-- His home: is growing in the entire polar northern
hemisphere: Lapland, Siberia (Tundra), Northeast China
(Tundra), Canada, North Japan
-- The colder the region, the better the medical effect of
the chaga mushroom with more vital substances, because only
at very low temperatures the healing ingredients are formed
-- The strong healing power of the chaga teas has been known
for centuries according to an old legend count, since the
12th century, as a Grand Duke of Ukraine Vladimir Monomach
was on a treatment for his lip cancer and some people healed
him with the intake of a strong chaga broth
-- Maybe chaga tea is already used as a remedy for much
earlier times

adrenal glands. Scientists have found out that the chaga
fungus is an adaptogen. Adaptogenes are natural substances
that support the body positively without side effects. The
healing mushroom helps the symptoms of adrenal weakness,
such as fatigue to fix bad sleep and physical weakness. Of
course it takes a few weeks or months to regenerate the
adrenals. "
(orig. German: "Der Chaga Pilz hilft die
Funktion der Nebennieren zu stärken. Wissenschaftler haben
festgestellt, dass der Chaga Pilz ein Adaptogen ist.
Adaptogene sind natürliche Stoffe die den Körper auf
breiter Ebene positiv unterstützen ohne Nebenwirkungen

Among other things, the researchers were then looking for
medicinal plants, which increase the stress tolerance in
humans. The investigations showed that the chaga mushroom
increased physical and mental performance and reduced pain.
These research were carried out for the military. As a
result, Russian top athletes and astronauts took the chaga
mushroom as a natural "doping agent" for more stress
resistence."
(orig. German: "Chaga wurde in Russland seit den
1950er Jahren intensiv erforscht. Unter anderem suchten
die Forscher damals nach Heilpflanzen, die die
Stresstoleranz bei Menschen erhöhen. Bei den
Untersuchungen zeigte sich, dass der Chaga Pilz die
körperliche und geistige Leistungsfähigkeit erhöht und
Schmerzen verminderte. Diese Forschungen wurden damals für
das Militär durchgeführt. In der Folge nahmen russische
Spitzensportler und Astronauten den Chaga Pilz als
natürliches „Dopingmittel“ ein, um sich gegen Stress
abzuhärten.")
-- In 1955, the Russian Ministry of Health has officially
recognized and approved the chaga fungus as a cure, Russian
pharmacies are selling chaga mushroom tea, and since 1960
appr. gastritis and cancer are healed officially in Russia

-- Chaga tea is boiled over a few hours
-- The vital substances are solved only by boiling
(https://www.chaga-pilz.com/chaga-Pilz-kaufen/)
-- "The only reliable internal application is in the water
solution (tea). In hot water, the important vital substances
dissolve and can be optimally utilized by the body."
(orig. German: "Die einzig zuverlässige innere
Anwendung besteht im Wasserauszug (Tee). In heißem Wasser
lösen sich die wichtigen Vitalstoffe und können so vom
Körper optimal verwertet werden.")
-- Drink the chaga tea for several months daily:
"If you drink the chaga tea for several months daily, your
entire organism will perform a purge of the body (cleanse
the body). The chaga fungus is considered as a blood
purifier and as a liberator of pains. In addition, you will
get a nice skin."
(orig. German: "Wenn Sie den Chaga Tee über
mehrere Monate täglich trinken, wird sich Ihr gesamter
Organismus von Schlacken reinigen. Der Chaga Pilz gilt als

it will just flood your body with antioxidants."
(orig. German: "Als einfachste Anwendung trinken
Sie den Chaga Pilz als Tee zubereitet. Wenn Sie täglich
eine bis drei Tassen davon trinken wird Ihr Körper mit
Antioxidantien geradezu überschwemmt.")
-- the dose for adults is a soup spoon of chaga mushrom in
water per day, this should not have bad side effects
(12'23'') [web03]
-- you just have to know that with collection of mushrooms
in wild nature, the ingredient concentrations can vary
greatly depending on the location (12'34'') [web03]

Make an alcohol extract of chaga - make a dual extract
Persons who want mainly the active ingredients from the
birch, must make an alcohol extract, so let chaga pieces
several weeks in high-percentage alcohol (15'45''), Betulin
e.g. is not well water-soluble, but is well alcohol-soluble
(15'53 ''). If you want all active ingredients from chaga
muchroom, you have to make 1 water extract and 1 alcohol
extract (16'2''). [web03]
Alcohol extract is this way: Chaga pieces are placed in
high-percentaged alkohl from 70% for several weeks, shake
the bootles 1x per week, then all is sieved (16'20), then
you make a chaga tea aside cold or warm, and then you mix
the alcohol extract with the chaga tea, so you have a "dual
extract" (16'31''). [web03]
Fermentation
A third possibility of preparation of chaga mushroom is a
fermentation [liquor] (17'0'').
Side effects
-- Side effects: only positive healing effects!
-- Interactions: None
Quote:
"The chaga mushroom has no negative side effects. Also no
unwanted interactions with medicines or foods."
(orig. German: "Der Chaga Pilz hat keine
negativen Nebenwirkungen. Auch keine unerwünschten
Wechselwirkungen mit Medikamenten oder Nahrungsmitteln.")
[web01]
But another web site is warning from interactions:
-- Combination effects:
1. The content of oxalate is problematic, there was an
incident in Japan, as a woman has gotten massively kidney
stones, ev. these came from the oxalate of the chaga
mushroom [this is a single case] (11'44 ''), 1 tablespoon of
chaga per day should not be a problem (12'20''). Chaga has
as much oxalate as peanuts and almonds (12'26''), but
spinach and pie plant contain a lot more of oxalate
(12'58''). [web03]
2. Chaga is suspected of diluting the blood: Several people
who have had surgery, then got problems when they started
with chaga tea again, there came bleeding, etc. (13'21 '').
So who takes blood thinners and chaga tea together, should
thus stop with the blood thinner, and after a surgery, no
chaga tea should be taken for a certain time (13'44 '').
[web03]
Healing effects of chaga tea in detail
-- The healing with chaga tea needs several months:
Quote:
"The healing needs time. The chaga fungus is the fuel for
strengthening and cleaning the entire organism. First, the
digestive channel benefits (mouth, throat, esophagus,
stomach, intestines) from taking the chaga tea. The tea
activates the detoxification function of the liver and bile.
After a few days of chaga tea, the inflammatory values in
the blood are sinking in the blood. Through the better
functioning of liver, bile, pancreas, the immune system can
eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. The effect of the
chaga mushroom is based on the interaction of many factors.
The healing mushroom improves the metabolism processes in a
variety of ways and brings the body so again into its
natural balance. The return to the natural state is gentle
and without side effects. "
(orig. German: "Die Heilung braucht Zeit. Der
Chaga Pilz ist der Zündstoff für die Kräftigung und
Reinigung des gesamten Organismus. Als erstes profitiert
der Verdauungskanal (Mund, Rachen, Speiseröhre, Magen,
Darm) von der Einnahme des Chaga Tees. Der Tee aktiviert
die Entgiftungs-Funktion der Leber und Galle. Schon nach
wenigen Tagen einer Chaga Tee Kur sinken die
Entzündungswerte im Blut. Durch die bessere Funktionsweise
von Leber, Galle, Bauchspeicheldrüse kann das Immunsystem
schädlich Bakterien und Viren eliminieren. Die Wirkung vom
Chaga Pilz beruht auf dem Zusammenspiel vieler Faktoren.
Der Heilpilz verbessert die Stoffwechelprozesse auf
vielfältige Weise und bringt den Körper so wieder in sein
natürliches Gleichgewicht. Die Rückkehr zum natürlichen
Zustand erfolgt sanft und ohne Nebenwirkungen.") [web01]
Studies with chaga mushroom: Cancer, inflammation, nerves
+ brain, blood sugar, joints + bones, energy,
rejuvenation, immune system
-- By the time, always new studies come out with the chaga
mushroom, above all against cancer: Tumor growth in the
initial stage is stopped, above all with gastric cancer,
colon cancer and esophageal cancer, cancer cells are killed
-- The chaga tea also reduces cancer pains and appetite
comes again
-- Cancer in an advanced stage is no longer curable with
chaga tea [other cancer healing methods: note
link]
In addition, studies found out about the chaga mushroom:
-- Healing of inflammations
-- Promotion of brain functions, of cardiovascular function,
of memory performance
-- High blood sugar is lowered
-- Joint ache is reduced
-- Bone problems are reduced
-- Liberation of pains in general
-- It is increasing energy, endurance (stamina) and
vitality, purge of the body:
Quote: "Chaga, however, is mood-enhancing, provokes to wake
up and raises the energy without pushing caffeine into the
adrenal glands."
(orig. German: "Chaga ist jedoch
stimmungsaufhellend, macht wach und hebt die Energie ohne
die Nebennieren durch Koffein zu pushen.")
-- Has a rejuivenating effect, prevents premature aging,
provokes a beautiful skin
-- Regulates the immune system when it is too weak or too
strong:
Quote:
"This universal healing mushroom stimulates the immune
system, only if it is really necessary, and can calm down
also an overactive immune system. In short, our immune
system is returned to its natural healthy state with this
chaga fungus."
(orig. German: "Dieser universelle Heilpilz
stimuliert das Immunsystem, nur wenn es wirklich notwendig
ist, kann jedoch genauso ein überaktives Immunsystem
beruhigen. Kurz gesagt: Unser Immunsystem wird durch den
Chaga Pilz wieder in seinen natürlichen gesunden Zustand
versetzt.")
-- Chaga tea is used simultaneously during a chemotherapy in
cancer:
Quote:
"The positive effects from the chaga Mushroom have proven
itself as an accompanying therapy during the treatment of
cancer. Point number one: tumor growth is stopped. Point
number two: the bad effects of chemotherapy are reduced and
point 3: immune system is rebuilt. Life quality is improved
significally during a cancer treatment. Add to this,
researchers have found out that this healing mushroom itself
has a strong anti cancer potential, especially during the
initial stage of the disease. Betulic acid in the chaga
mushroom and more ingredients such as triterpenes and
polysaccharides seem to have the ability to kill cancer
cells directly."
(orig. German: "Die positiven Wirkungen vom
Chaga Pilz haben sich als begleitende Therapie bei der
Behandlung von Krebs bewährt. Einerseits um das
Tumorwachstum zu stoppen, andererseits um die Auswirkungen
der Chemotherapie zu lindern und das Immunsystem wieder
aufzubauen. Signifikant wird die Lebensqualität während
der Krebsbehandlung verbessert. Darüber hinaus haben
Forscher erste Hinweise gefunden, dass der Heilpilz selbst
ein starkes Antikrebs-Potenzial besitzt, besonders im
Anfangsstadium der Krankheit. Die im Chaga Pilz enthaltene
Betulinsäure und weitere Stoffe wie Triterpene und
Polysaccharide scheinen die Fähigkeit zu besitzen die
Krebszellen direkt abzutöten.") [web01]
Analysis of the ingredients in the laboratory of chaga
mushroom
-- Chaga mushroom contains "a wide range of secondary
vegetal agents", which support the immune system with the
defense of bacteria and viruses
-- "Chaga mushroom contains many rare, essential mineral and
plant substances in high concentration, which are pulled out
of the birch or it is forming itself."
(orig. German: "Der Chaga Pilz enthält viele seltene,

Konzentration, die er aus der Birke zieht oder selbst
bildet.")
-- "In the chaga mushroom, hundreds of strong antioxidants
are concentrated" (orig. German: "im Chaga-Pilz sind
hunderte starker Antioxidantien konzentriert")
-- In the chaga mushroom are collaborating the following
ingredients: triterpen, polysaccharides, polyphenols,
betulic acid and germanium, and this combination reduces
many degenerative diseases and premature aging.
Quote:
"The wildly growing chaga mushroom is one of the strongest
antioxidant substances ever found. Thes was shown by
investigations by the Brunswick Institute, a well-known
medical laboratory from the US specializing in the
scientific measurement of antioxidants. With an ORAC value
of 52,452 units, the chaga fungus acts three times stronger
than the well-known healing mushroom maitake (15977). (3)
ORAC is a scientific process for measuring antioxidant
capabilities of plants. The chaga mushroom achieved the
highest values ever measured."
(orig. German: "Der wild wachsende Chaga Pilz
ist einer der kräftigsten antioxidativen Stoffe, die
je gefunden wurden. Dies haben Untersuchungen des
Brunswick Instituts ergeben, eines bekannten medizinischen
Labors aus den USA, das auf die wissenschaftliche Messung

von 52.452 Einheiten wirkt der Chaga Pilz dreimal stärker
als der bekannte Heilpilz Maitake (15977). (3) ORAC ist

antioxidativen Fähigkeiten von Pflanzen. Der Chaga Pilz
erreichte dabei die höchsten Werte, die jemals gemessen
wurden.") [web01]
The strong antioxidants of the chaga mushroom:
-- Melanin
-- Germanium
-- Triterpen
-- Vitamins
-- Beta glucan
-- Flavonoids [web02]
Chaga mushroom contains a unique combination of active
ingredients:
-- "Germanium
-- Betulinic acid
-- Iron
-- Chrome
-- Polysaccharides
-- Flavonoids
-- Triterpen
-- Melanin
The interaction of these substances increases the
health-promoting effect. The decisive advantages of this
unique fungus are the absolute safety of its natural
antioxidants and its cleansing and rejuvenating effects. "
[web01]
Forms for selling
-- In Europe, chaga mushroom from Finland [Lapland] is of
very good quality
-- Use only wildly grown chaga mushrooms
-- Chaga mushroom from breeding plants is ineffective or
harmful due to pesticides and other chemicals
-- Careful drying process is important, otherwise there is a
danger of mold
-- With the chaga mushroom pieces must be made a chaga tea
[web01]
Forms for selling: chaga mushroom as a powder [in
capsules] has NO healing effect
-- Use of chaga mushroom in form of powder [in capsules] has
virtually no effect or is even dangerous:
-- human body cannot absorb the powder
-- Chaga mushroom powder is vulnerable for mold formation
which is difficult to control in the powder
-- Chaga mushroom powder can contain also birch bark which
is also difficult to control.
Quote:
"Using the application as a powder [in capsules] is
widespread in Western Europe, but there is practically no
effect with it. Why is that so? The chaga fungus has a very
hard consistency because it consists of chitin. If you take
ground chaga powder, the powder is passing the body without
any digestion process. Therefore the health benefit is
zero."
"However, every user should know that there are no healing
effects with chaga powder. In Russia, only water extractions
are approved for medical use."
(orig. German: "Die Anwendung als Pulver ist
zwar heutzutage verbreitet in Westeuropa, jedoch bringt
praktisch keinen Nutzen. Warum ist das so? Der Chaga Pilz
hat eine sehr harte Konsistenz, weil er aus Chitin
besteht. Wenn Sie gemahlenes Chaga Pulver einnehmen geht
das Pulver praktisch unverdaut durch Ihren Körper. Der
gesundheitliche Nutzen ist gleich null."
"Jedoch sollte jeder Anwender wissen, dass es für Chaga
Pulver keine Heilwirkungen belegt sind. In Russland sind
nur Wasserauszüge für die medizinische Verwendung
zugelassen.") [web01]
Chaga mushroom as a powder [in capsules] is only sold
-- Because the powder [in capsules] is easier to pack
-- Because the powder can be stretched with tree bark or
with old chaga mushrooms
-- Because mold is only hardly to detect in the powder
-- Thus, chaga mushrom powder in capsules is a big fraud,
and propaganda makes no use for it
-- Traders selling chaga mushroom in powder form are
defrauders
-- Chaga powder from China and from chaga farms is worthless
and is even dangerous because of the pesticides [web02]
Forms for selling: alcoholic chaga extracts and tinctures
-- Are only suitable for adults who are tolerating alcohol
well
-- So for children, sick or ex-alcoholics not
-- Chaga mushroom combined with alcohol changes its effect

(15'53''). [web03]
Chaga mushroom for animals
-- According to experience reports, pets such as dogs and
cats can heal with chaga tea
-- The chaga tea is mixed into the food
Quote:
"There are many interesting reviews of happy dogs and cat
owners who could get their beloved pet through the chaga
mushroom. Just mix the chaga tea in the food of the animals.
And this will have often amazing effects."
(orig. German: "Es gibt jedoch viele
interessante Erfahrungsberichte glücklicher Hunde und
Katzenbesitzer, die ihr geliebtes Haustier durch den Chaga
Pilz wieder auf die Beine bekommen konnten. Dazu mischen
sie den Chaga Tee in das Essen der Tiere. Mit oft
erstaunlichen Wirkungen.") [web01]
Harvest of chaga mushroom in Lapland
[web02]
-- Chaga mushroom must grown on birches in the polar cold
("birch chaga", "wild chaga mushroom"), otherwise it does
not contain the healing ingredients
-- The birches must be 30 to 70 years old, and the chaga
mushroom has to grow over the ground in at least 1m height
-- The chaga mushroom is unusable when it grows on sick
birches or on birches of lakeside or riverbanks (where too
much water is suck from the birch trunk)
-- Further quality enhancement of the chaga mushroom is
possible with the right selection and drying.
Harvest of chaga mushroom in Lapland
[web04]
Quote:
"Chaga mushrooms must be at least 5 years old and grow on
birches that are neither too young nor too old and neither
sick nor dead. Only then they contain enough vital
substances to ensure a health benefit.
In addition, the chaga mushrooms must grow at least one
meter above the surface and the birches should not stand
directly on a lake or stream. Otherwise they pull more water
from the birch as nutrients.
The cutting is careful by hand and not in a brutal way with
a chainsaw, so the birch and it's health is preserved. This
avoids also a contamination of the chaga mushroom with
chainsaw oil. "
(orig. German: "Die Chaga Pilze müssen
mindestens 5 Jahre alt sein und an Birken wachsen, die
weder zu jung noch zu alt und weder krank noch abgestorben
sind. Nur dann haben sie genug Vitalstoffe aufgenommen, um
einen gesundheitlichen Vorteil zu gewährleisten.
Außerdem müssen die Chaga Pilze mindestens einen Meter
über der Oberfläche wachsen und die Birken sollten nicht
direkt an einem See oder Bach stehen. Sonst ziehen sie
mehr Wasser aus der Birke als Nährstoffe.
Das Abschneiden erfolgt vorsichtig per Hand und nicht
rabiat mit einer Motorsäge, um die Gesundheit der Birke
nicht zu schädigen. Dadurch wird auch eine Verunreinigung
des Chaga Pilzes mit Kettensägenöl vermieden.")
-- Chaga is easily to grow by hand or with a blow of a stick
- ulcers of the birch tree are not so easy to harvest and
cannot be mixed up with chaga [web03]
-- Chaga harvest is mostly between autumn and spring [during
the coldest climate] when the birch trees have no leaves
[web03]
Buy chaga mushroom from North Finland (Lapland)
[web02]
-- Chaga mushroom must be in pieces, NO powder [in capsules]
-- Chaga mushroom must come from cold, polar climate as in
Lapland, otherwise no healing effect is available
But another web site tells us in a video:
-- Ingredients are very different according to the position,
and it's not sure that chaga from polar regions is better
than chaga from Central Europe (8'45'') [web03]
Of course, Lapland has very high quality standards for
natural medicine with birch trees:
[web02]
-- Quote: "Finland has the highest variety of birch species
worldwide. In the sprawling birch forests, the chaga
mushroom is still growing as many centuries ago."
(orig. German: "Finnland hat die weltweit höchste Vielfalt
an Birkenarten. In den weitläufigen Birkenwäldern wächst der
Chaga Pilz noch so, wie vor vielen Jahrhunderten.")
-- Lapland has little pollution: "No pollution, no
radioactive burden, barely car traffic, because Lapland is
mostly empty."
(orig. German: "Keine Umweltverschmutzung, keine radioaktive
Belastung, kaum Autoverkehr, denn Lappland ist zu großen
Teilen menschenleer.")
-- The harvest is safe: "The natives of Lapplands know the
chaga since their childhood. They know where high-quality
chaga grows."
(orig. German: "Die Ureinwohner Lapplands kennen den Chaga
von Kindesbeinen an. Sie wissen, wo hochwertiger Chaga
wächst.")
