Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Wenzheng Huang is a specialist in nephrology and urology in Tainjin University Hospital. Today, in a doctoral class, he was asked about the difference between cultivated and wild cordyceps. Here is what he had to say about that (paraphrased): " Wild cordyceps is the only herb that can promote repair and growth of epithelial cells in renal tubules. The cultivated cordyceps doesn't have that effect, according to the researcher who discovered that function. The cultivated cordyceps does do the following: regulates immune function, inhibits fibrosis, and has anti-rejection properties in organ transplants " - Bill Schoenbart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Very cool. I asked my mentor once about wild vs. cultivated Ren Shen. He told me a couple things - he said that the top quality Ren Shen was like CPR. It was very expensive - one piece was more valuable than a truckload of cultivated root. Competition for the wild top grade was so fierce that the harvesters would go out with 5 to 7 men and usually come back 1 or 2 short. I don't know if they are just stories or not, but when one root could feed a few families for a year, I don't think it's too far fetched.
