Real quick reply...I've been researching this for Ovarian Cancer, however a lot of studies show it's positive effect on prostate cancer. The Maitake D-Fraction (check out the 'griffin pro' version at www.maitake.com) shows it can cause cell death in the prostate cancer cells. Undergoing clinical trials and studies here, but has been used for years in asia. Also D-fraction can boost the immune system (especially if taking chemo) to activate NK killer cells, T-cells, white blood cells, etc. to help with the immune systems attack on cancer cells in general.
