Consultations
I have been researching, writing, and teaching about medicinal mushrooms for almost 10 years. My laboratory research was specific to the immune modulating and cytotoxic effects of the mushroom Fomitopsis cajanderi, the Rosy Polypore. Out of the lab, I have written a number of unpublished research reviews that can be found at reishiandroses.com and on the ‘Thoughts’ section of this site. In addition to writings on my blog, I wrote the Medicinal Mushrooms chapter in the 5th edition of The Textbook of Natural Medicine. I have shared the knowledge that I have gained from the laboratory, practice and the literature at conferences and events throughout the country and as a scientific adviser to a number of different companies. Medicinal mushrooms are more popular now than ever before and it is important that people are well educated in this area.
I provide consultation services to people who are starting medicinal mushroom supplement companies, people who are formulating with medicinal mushrooms in other supplements, physicians who are utilizing medicinal mushrooms in their practice and for lay people who are seeking more information about mushrooms and their benefits.
Common consultation questions:
- What is the best way to extract medicinal compounds from mushrooms?
- What kinds of compounds may negatively impact absorption of medicinal mushrooms?
- What is ideal amount of mushroom extract to put in my product?
- What compounds may positively impact absorption of medicinal mushrooms?
- What is the shelf like of mushroom extracts?
- Should I use mycelium based products or fruiting body based products?
Consultation services are strictly limited to education about medicinal mushrooms. These are not medical consults and they are not intended to discuss treatment of disease.
Consultation Fees:
$250 Per Hour
