I’d say the strength, milligram for milligram, is roughly the same. I’m currently taking 4 grams of the Real Mushrooms Lion’s Mane a day, while the suggested dose is 2 grams. I wanted fast results since the voices were picking away at my very last nerve.
I’m glad to be mostly rid of the voices now! Once they’re 100% gone I’ll go back down to 2 grams.
For what it’s worth, the Amyloban suggested dose also works out to 2 grams a day.
I find that the delusions go away with the voices. Since the voices aren’t pulling me back into the crazy narrative nearly as much, I can more easily focus on real life.
“The researchers concluded that Lion’s Mane regenerates damaged nerve cells . In this case, the reversal was so profound, the rats went from being totally disabled to walking again .[ix]”
Maybe that is why @shutterbug’s arm hurts less now.
This reminds me of that old movie in which Gene Hackman’s character says he can grow nerves, but needs to get them to stop growing.
I found a source that is organic and ships to us and canada. Its cheaper then any of the other sites. The guy is a super advocate for lions mane. Just wondering though if this is the masciliated version.
I will add. I think im going to get from this place. I will let everyone know how it is.
Dang its just hard to afford the other stuff. Okay i will check out real mushrooms. LOL nvm realmushrooms is cheap too. Shoulda looked at your link first. Thats what im going with.
I don’t know of anyone here who claims to be able to treat disease, but you could show his doctor the study published on the NIH site and ask him if it would be safe to try. The best doctors I’ve had have always been willing to look at legitimate research.
Definitely something for him to discuss with his physician! I only bought the stuff to help with positive symptoms that were starting to overwhelm me, everything else is just a wonderful surprise. That fact that it even works at all is a surprise. Of all the other stuff that has been discussed here over the years I think the only other supplement with any real potency has been sarcosine.
Yeah, I’m thinking of asking my GP or neurologist about this. If it helps with chronic nerve pain, that would be wonderful.
One thing to bear in mind though is that mushrooms and fungi can slow blood clotting. Folks who are on a blood thinner or who have a clotting disorder should exercise caution and definitely consult their doctor.
“Bleeding conditions : Hericium erinaceus might slow blood clotting. This might increase the chances of bruising and bleeding in people with bleeding conditions. However, there are no reports of this occurring in humans.”
My blood sugar is lower, but I also switched to a healthier diet at about the same time I started the 3399. Impossible to say if it is playing a role here.
