The drug "Befungin" in oncology is used when radical methods, chemotherapy or radiation therapy do not work or are not indicated. The ability to alleviate the well-being of such patients, to prolong life with an improvement in its quality is real with the use of natural substances.
Composition of the drug
The medicine "Befungin" is an extract of the wood fungus chaga with the addition of cob alt s alts. Chaga, or birch fungus, often referred to as the "king of medicinal mushrooms", appears as a dark black woody pulp on tree trunks. Chaga grows on such trees as mountain ash, ash, elm, but the fungus collected from birch trunks has the greatest effect.
However, this oddly beautiful growth is one of the most powerful adaptogens and immune system-supporting superfoods on the planet, containing a complex of polysaccharides that is significantly more powerful than most other medicinal mushrooms.
Chemical composition
In addition to sterols, polyphenols and polysaccharides, the mushroom also contains many other antioxidant compounds, 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 the action of certain anti-mutagenic compounds, such as betulinic acid s alts, which are concentrated in large quantities in birch bark.
What is chaga and where does it grow?
This fungus grows in cold northern countries and looks like a thick black mass on the side of tree trunks. It usually grows up to 10 cm thick and 1.5 meters long, or much more depending on age. And although outwardly the mushroom looks like burnt black coal, inside it looks like orange clay. These growths were actually used as a source of long-lasting firewood burning, as well as clothing dyes.
Usage history
This black tree fungus has long been revered in northern Europe, Canada, China, Finland and Russia for its medicinal qualities. Chaga (birch fungus) has been widely used by traditional herbalists 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 Cancer Ward, in which he mentions birch mushroom tea, its healing components andpossible benefits for cancer patients.
The Yaroslavl Pharmaceutical Factory produces the drug, and doctors widely use Befungin in oncology. Feedback from both doctors and patients speaks of an improvement in he alth status and stabilization of various indicators.
Betulinic acid
The antitumor effect of the drug "Befungin" has been well studied. The use in oncology is based on the fact that the chaga mushroom contains a large amount of betulinic acid. This anticancer compound is formed from birch and birch bark lignins, 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.
Befungin is widely used for this reason. 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 sharply 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 back in 1955. A decrease in tumor proliferation and growth of induced morphological changes was studied.
Other Useful Features
Numerous studies have proven the use of a drug such as Befungin in oncology. Reviewsindicate that the extract is also useful as an antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug. In addition, it is a renowned immune system booster as well as a liver activator.
Oncologists prefer to prescribe Befungin to many patients. Reviews (in oncology) are based on the fact that this mushroom contains other fractions that cause antitumor effects: beta-glucan polysaccharides, phytonutrients, 29 long-chain polysaccharides, protein-bound xylogalactoglucan.
Beta-glucans found in chaga (especially 1-3 ß-glucan) help to activate immune cells or macrophage defense systems, working both on the surface of the immune system and stimulating stem cells deep within 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 the compounds ergosterol, ergosterol peroxide and trametonolinic acid. They have anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity in prostate and breast carcinoma.
A useful addition to chemotherapy
A favorable addition to the chemotherapy and radiation therapy of the drug "Befungin". Reviews (in oncology, its use is especially justified) claim that it has antiviral and antitumor activity, helps in detoxifying the liver and protects against the harmful effects of radiation or chemicals. In addition, highthe content of antioxidants, including melanin, which binds radioactive isotopes, is useful for he althy 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 the chemical that makes up the main pigment in human skin, hair, retina and neurons in the brainstem. This contributes to better healing of the skin, maintaining 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 fact, protects against DNA damage and helps reduce the burden on the immune system.
Befungin is one of the highest sources of this nutrient, as well as zinc, offered in an easily utilizable, bioavailable form.
Powerful adaptogen
It is important to support the immune system for optimal functioning. The population is subjected to constant stresses in daily life due to environmental pollution and exposure to toxins that affect he alth. Chaga is an immunomodulator and a bilateral adaptogen that not only aids in immune responses but also maintains optimal homeostasis.
Side effect
Many ofsubstances of the drug "Befungin" act anti-inflammatory. It helps reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis as well as degenerative diseases. Mushroom extracts have also proven beneficial for gastrointestinal disorders and irritable bowel syndrome.

The drug contains a large amount of useful vitamins and minerals. This is:
- vitamin B2;

What diseases can be treated
Befungin can be used for any diseases. Indications for use are such that it can be prescribed for:
- gastric and duodenal ulcer;
- for chronic gastritis;
- polyps of the stomach and intestines;
- psoriasis;
- eczema and other skin problems.
It has been noted to have a relaxing effect on the nervous system in case of insomnia, a positive effect on metabolism. 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 with periodontal disease is widely used by dentists"Befungin".
In oncology (reviews confirm), with combination therapy, it has a unique anti-cancer effect. This medicine is also used in diseases of the lymphatic system and various disorders of the lymph circulation. Due to the connection of the digestive system with the skin, this supportive remedy 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 the brain. The action of Befungin is complex and therefore there is no need to combine it with other herbs. The main proportion 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 early stages of oncological diseases. In the later stages, it can stop the growth of neoplasms, 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.
