Bowel inflammation remedies

Oh, look! A 2015 scientific study on Chaga mushroom ethanol extract. I use Everclear grain alcohol. (Close enough.). The extract is “antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, platelet aggregation inhibitory, and anti-tumor”. Wow!

Ethanol extract of Innotus obliquus (Chaga mushroom) induces G1 cell cycle arrest in HT-29 human colon cancer cells
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES
Inonotus obliquus (I. obliquus, Chaga mushroom) has long been used as a folk medicine to treat cancer. In the present study, we examined whether or not ethanol extract of I. obliquus (EEIO) inhibits cell cycle progression in HT-29 human colon cancer cells, in addition to its mechanism of action....
CONCLUSIONS
These results demonstrate that fraction 2 is the major fraction that induces G1 arrest and inhibits cell proliferation, suggesting I. obliquus could be used as a natural anti-cancer ingredient in the food and/or pharmaceutical industry...
INTRODUCTION
Inonotus obliquus (I. obliquus), known as chaga mushroom, is a white rot fungus [1]. I. obliquus can be made into tea decoctions, extracts, syrup, injections, hip bath agent, and aerosol and has been used as a folk medicine for treating cancer in many areas such as Russia, Asia, and North America [2,3].

Prior studies have reported that I. obliquus contains bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, and polyphenols, which include triterpenoids, steroids, ergosterol peroxides, inotodial, and 3β-hydroxy-lanosta-8,24-dien-21-al, a lignin-like substance. I. obliquus has also been shown to possess biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, platelet aggregation inhibitory, and anti-tumor effects [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for the anti-cancer effects of I. obliquus are not well understood, despite its increasing usage....
