Medicinal Mushrooms Could Be as Rewarding as the Cannabis Boom
Mushrooms have found their way into our daily lives and have been found to help increase mental clarity, and assist with immune support. “Mushrooms have long been used in Chinese medicine and newer research shows they are the highest dietary source of the antioxidants ergothioneine and glutathione, which help protect the body against the type of damage that can eventually contribute to age-related diseases like cancer, heart disease, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s,” says Beth Warren, RDN, author of Secrets of a Kosher Girl. “Mushroom coffees and teas can give anyone a boost, but they may be especially beneficial for those who are dealing with chronic diseases and inflammation.”

To the Editor:
Mr. Golbyâs Op-Ed is especially important as a defense of the supremacy of the United Statesâ civilian leadership in matters relating to the military.
As he correctly states, George Marshall and James Mattis were not particularly effective in their performance as defense secretary, at least in part because of the short time since their uniformed service. Further, generals are not necessarily the best big picture strategic minds (e.g., George McClellan, George Patton and Curtis LeMay). There is no guarantee that former officers are especially wise or effective or honest, nor can â or should â democracy depend on them to be the âadults in the room.â
