reishi mushrooms

Looking for a source for reishi mushroom, my research indicates they would be helpful for MDS.

Pardon but what is MDS?

According to Wikipedia:

"The myelodysplastic syndromes (also known as MDS or myelodysplasia) are hematological (blood-related) medical conditions with ineffective production (or dysplasia) of all blood cells.[1]

Patients with MDS can develop severe anemia and require blood transfusions. In some cases, the disease worsens and the patient develops cytopenias (low blood counts) caused by progressive bone marrow failure.

The outlook in MDS depends on the type and severity. Many people live normal lifespans with MDS. Often, people are asymptomatic and are unaware they even have MDS until it shows up in a routine blood test.

The myelodysplastic syndromes are all disorders of the hematopoietic stem cell in the bone marrow (only related to myeloid lineage).[2] In MDS, hematopoiesis (blood production) is disorderly and ineffective. The number and quality of blood-forming cells decline irreversibly, further impairing blood production. The mean age of onset of MDS is 68 years."

Yhere is a haemotologist available at the Quality Care Clinic and it might be wise to consult with her; Dra. Ana is her name.
