Shiitake by Kenneth Jones

The shiitake is one of the most highly prized foods in Oriental cuisine, lending its rich, caramel-like flavor to seasonings, sauces, soups, even carbonated drinks and candies. Yet few aficionados of this gourmet delicacy are aware of its high nutritional value or of its important role in traditional Chinese medicine and in the modern search for botanical remedies. Traditionally classified as a food that activates the blood, shiitake has been used as a folk treatment for colds, measles, and bronchial inflammations. Shiitake: The Healing Mushroom takes the reader on a lively tour of the healing properties of one of the world's most delicious foods.

In the past few years, its growing popularity in the West has made shiitake, after the common table mushroom, the most-cultivated mushroom worldwide. Recent studies indicate its usefulness in lowering blood cholesterol levels and preventing heart disease. Research suggests that shiitake is valuable in immunotherapy, bolstering the immune system and increasing the body's ability to ward off cancerous tumors, viral infections, and chronic fatigue syndrome.

The N.I.H. is testing shiitake in their AIDS research program.
Kenneth Michael Jones is a believer in Christ Jesus who loves to study scripture for truth sake. Writing his first book Accuracy or defeat was an assignment that Kenneth felt called to accomplish because it is painful to know that so many fellow believers missunderstand scripture and cannot grow as God intended without understanding. In Luke 24: the text says Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures. Kenneth published this work in August of 2018 and with the completion of this assignment believes wholeheartedly that he obey what the Lord had asked of him. Please enjoy this book as your search for understanding has just gotten much closer. May God cause you to grow into the peace of abundant life which is in Christ Jesus.
