In 2023, I underwent surgery that revealed a 40mm cancerous growth in my colon. It was removed, but I had to choose between monitoring or a Total Mesorectal Excision. I opted for monitoring, as I know two others who faced similar situations—one had surgery but later found it spread to other organs, and was given a couple of years to live, while the other unfortunately passed away due to late detection. My research led me to Turkey Tail mushroom, which is noted for its use in breast cancer, though there's limited evidence for other types. With nothing to lose, I began taking Max Botanics Turkey Tail, initially purchased through a platform, but now directly from the company. In January 2026, the UK Food Standards Agency plans to ban this product, citing it as a novel food, which complicates sales for small businesses and overlooks its medical benefits and traditional usage elsewhere. How can they determine that, despite its 'novel food' status, it isn't aiding my battle against bowel cancer? Thank you, Max Botanics, for your support thus far.
