\nA Comprehensive Exploration of Non-Psychoactive, Functional Mushrooms as a Viable Therapy for Epileptic Individuals<\/b><\/p>\n

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Beginning in January 2024, natural medicine research nonprofits Realm of Caring<\/a>, Unlimited Sciences<\/a> and Lily\u2019s Lighthouse<\/a> will collaborate to collect data for an observational study on the efficacy of functional mushrooms in treating epilepsy.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nLily\u2019s Lighthouse was founded in 2021 by Sarah-Kate Boylan, a mother seeking relief for her child, Lily, who was suffering from chronic seizures. After seven years of ineffective treatment, Sarah-Kate found preliminary research suggesting functional mushrooms could help Lily with her intractable epilepsy. With continuous use of functional mushrooms alongside anti-seizure medication, Lily went from having an average of 50 seizures a day to roughly one every few months.<\/p>\n

\nCertain species of fungi have therapeutic and medicinal properties beyond their nutritional value. These edible mushrooms, also called functional mushrooms, offer a range of health benefits and have been used in herbal medicine for thousands of years. The upcoming study will focus on the anticonvulsant properties of Reishi mushrooms and the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of Lion\u2019s Mane mushrooms.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThere is an urgent need for principled research focusing on the effectiveness of medicinal mushrooms and their potential to improve quality of life for people living with epilepsy,\u201d said Sarah-Kate Boylan, Chief Executive Director of Lily\u2019s Lighthouse. \u201cThrough this collaboration, we hope to publish outcomes of a retrospective study for the treatment of epilepsy. We plan to further our research campaign to prove efficacy that will eventually result in a mushroom therapeutic for the treatment of epilepsy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nWhile there are various studies on the effects of functional mushrooms in animals<\/a>, there are few human studies to support the use of functional mushrooms as an alternative treatment strategy\u2014an issue the study seeks to address. Matthew X. Lowe, Ph.D., Executive Director and Chief Scientific Officer of Unlimited Sciences, and the Research Director of the Realm of Caring Foundation, will lead the study.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFunctional mushrooms such as lion\u2019s mane and reishi have long been recognized for their medicinal properties, but only recently have we begun to better understand their unique therapeutic potential,\u201d said Lowe. \u201cAt Realm of Caring and Unlimited Sciences, our common goal is to continue to lead high-impact and innovative research that may increase access to life-changing therapies, such as Realm of Caring\u2019s work with CBD<\/a> as an epilepsy therapeutic. Our hope is that our collaboration with Lily\u2019s Lighthouse will provide real-world data to identify health outcomes of functional mushroom use in patients with epilepsy.\u201d<\/p>\n
