The drug "Befungin" for oncology is used in the case when radical methods, chemo - or radiation therapy do not work or are not indicated. The ability to facilitate the well-being of such patients, to extend life with an improvement in its quality, is really using natural substances.
The composition of the drug
Befungin medicine is an extract of chaga wood mushroom with the addition of cobalt salts. Chaga, or birch mushroom, often referred to as the "king of medicinal mushrooms," looks like a dark black wood mass on tree trunks. Chaga grows on trees such as mountain ash, ash, elm, but the mushroom collected from birch trunks has the greatest effect.
Nevertheless, this unusual beautiful growth is one of the most powerful adaptogens and superfoods on the planet, supporting the immune system containing a complex of polysaccharides, has a much more powerful effect than most other medicinal mushrooms.
Chemical composition
In addition to sterols, polyphenols and polysaccharides, the fungus also contains many other antioxidant components, including melanin and superoxide dismutase, as well as triterpenes: betulin, inotodiol and lupeol.
In addition, it is also gaining worldwide recognition for its ability to help inhibit tumor growth through exposure to certain antimutagenic compounds, such as betulinic acid salts, which are concentrated in large quantities in the birch bark.
What is chaga and where does it grow?
This mushroom grows in cold northern countries and in appearance is a dense black mass on the side of tree trunks. It usually grows up to 10 cm thick and 1.5 meters in length or much more depending on age. And although outwardly the mushroom looks like burnt black coal, inside it looks like orange clay. These growths used to be actually used as a source of long burning of firewood, as well as as dyes of clothing.
Usage history
This black tree mushroom has long been respected in Northern Europe, Canada, China, Finland and Russia for its medicinal qualities. Chaga (birch mushroom) has been widely used by herbalists of traditional medicine for hundreds, if not thousands of years, especially for its ability to help people adapt to cold, harsh climates.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it was used as a special mushroom to balance energy, preserve youth and maintain immunity.
Mushrooms became popular in the West in 1968, when the Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn published the book "The Cancer Corps", in which he mentions birch mushroom tea, its healing components and the possible benefits for cancer patients.
The Yaroslavl pharmaceutical factory produces the drug, and doctors widely use Befungin for oncology. Reviews of both doctors and patients talk about improving health and stabilizing various indicators.
Betulinic acid
The antitumor effect of the drug "Befungin" has been well studied. Use in oncology is based on the fact that chaga mushroom contains a large amount of betulinic acid. This antitumor compound is formed from lignins of birch and birch bark, turning them into a form that is easily absorbed by humans. One of these substances is betulin, which the fungus absorbs from the bark and then converts to betulinic acid. It is one of the most active compounds for inhibiting tumor components.
For this reason, Befungin is widely used. Indications for use are based on the fact that betulinic acid induces apoptosis through a direct effect on mitochondria inside cancer cells, causing cell death in the tumor itself or dramatically reducing acidity in the cell itself. "Befungin" in oncology (reviews indicate) was declared successful in the treatment of oncological processes of the breast, lungs, cervix and stomach cancer in 1955. The decrease in tumor proliferation and the growth of induced morphological changes was studied.
Other useful properties
Numerous studies have proven the use of a drug such as Befungin for oncology. Reviews indicate that the extract is also useful as an antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug. In addition, it is a well-known enhancer of the immune system, as well as an activator of liver activity.
Oncologists prefer to prescribe Befungin to many patients. Reviews (for oncology) are based on the fact that this fungus also contains other fractions that cause antitumor effects: beta-glucan-polysaccharides, phytonutrients, 29 long-chain polysaccharides, protein-bound xylogalactoglucan.
Beta-glucans contained in the chaga (especially 1-3 ß-glucan) help to activate immune cells or macrophages of defense systems that work both on the surface of the immune system and stimulate stem cells deep inside the bone marrow reserve. This all activates various immune mechanisms, especially T cells.
In 2013, it was proved that the composition of the fungus includes ergosterol, ergosterol peroxide and trametonolinic acid. They have anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity in carcinoma of the prostate and mammary glands.
A useful addition to chemotherapy
Favorable addition to the chemo - and radiation therapy of the drug "Befungin." Reviews (with oncology, its use is especially justified) claim that it has antiviral and antitumor activity, helps in detoxification of the liver and protects against the harmful effects of radiation or chemicals. In addition, a high content of antioxidants, including melanin, which binds radioactive isotopes, is beneficial for healthy immune responses.
Chaga is one of the highest sources of melanin among known nutritional supplements or herbs. Chaga melanin has been shown to have a strong gene protective effect on the body.
This is a chemical that is part of the main pigment in human skin, hair, retina and neurons in the brain stem. This contributes to better skin healing, preservation of vision and hair quality.
SOD
Superoxide dismutase, also called SOD, is a natural antioxidant. It is an enzyme produced within the body that plays a significant role in maintaining free radicals. It acts as a "bodyguard", which, in essence, protects against DNA damage and helps reduce the load on the immune system.
Befungin is one of the highest sources of this nutrient, as well as zinc, available in an easily utilized bioavailable form.
Powerful adaptogen
It is important to maintain the immune system for its optimal functioning. The population is exposed to constant stress in everyday life due to environmental pollution and exposure to toxins that affect health. Chaga is an immunomodulator and a two-way adaptogen that helps not only in immune responses, but also supports optimal homeostasis.
Side effect
Many of the Befungin substances are anti-inflammatory. This helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative diseases. Mushroom extracts have also been found to be beneficial for gastrointestinal upsets and irritable bowel syndrome.

- peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum;
- with chronic gastritis;
- polyps of the stomach and intestines;
- psoriasis
- eczema and other skin problems.
Its relaxing effect on the nervous system with insomnia, a positive effect on metabolism is noted. At the same time, Befungin increases the body's resistance against infectious diseases during inflammatory processes and cancer of the larynx, with diseases of the liver and spleen. In dentistry, periodontal disease is widely used by Befungin dentists.
In oncology (reviews confirm), with combination therapy, it has a unique anti-cancer effect. This medicine is also used for diseases of the lymphatic system and various disorders of lymph circulation. Due to the connection of the digestive system with the skin, this supportive agent is effective in the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, erythroderma and other skin diseases, because it improves metabolism at the cellular level and, therefore, increases the body's resistance.
"Befungin" improves the function of the nervous system, strengthens the nerves and brain. The effect of Befungin is complex, and therefore there is no need to combine it with other herbs. The main share of Befungin contains melanin, which has a similar molecular structure as natural melanin in the human body, and therefore has the ability to penetrate the cellular structure without any obstacles.
The best effect is achieved in the initial stages of cancer. In the later stages, it can stop the growth of tumors, relieve pain and improve the general condition of the patient. During the use of the medicine, it is strongly recommended to stop eating meat and lard, canned food, smoked meat.
