Quick note here: food for thought. Or Chaga for your food.
A lady at our church found great pain relief benefits from using chaga. She was initially recommended it from her husband, as he must have read its anti-inflammatory effects being helpful. But specifically, her issue is long-term scoliosis. This is defined as abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Her pain was so bad, she has been taking pain meds for a long time.
She was recommended chaga from one of her fellow nurses in the hospital. This lady is actually a nurse too. So she figured the educated testimonial was more valuable than her husband's opinion. Tisk tisk. So she went with it, and they bought one of my chaga kits. I am skeptical of chaga myself sometimes as a cure-all sota panacea thing, but it was effective for this. She has been off her pain meds as I've been told. So then she went off chaga for 3 days, and found it wasn't a placebo as the pain returned.
They came back for a 1 lb refill the other week.
So, there you have it guys. Maybe it's more effective than one thing.
