Jerry Ouellette shares his journey from skepticism to obsession with Chaga, a rare medicinal mushroom found on birch trees that has transformed countless lives with its healing properties. After witnessing remarkable health improvements in friends battling serious conditions like cancer and diabetes, Jerry dedicated himself to researching, harvesting, and sharing this extraordinary natural remedy that indigenous peoples have utilized for thousands of years.
• Chaga is a rare conch mushroom that grows on approximately one in 10,000 birch trees in northern cold climates
• Contains extraordinarily high levels of antioxidants - 100g of Chaga has about 385,000 units compared to 2,450 units in 100g of blueberries
• Functions as an immunomodulator that can both stimulate underactive immune systems and calm overactive ones
• Offers significant anti-inflammatory properties that may help with conditions ranging from arthritis to cancer
• Can be easily incorporated into daily routines through tea, coffee, or as a powder
• Research from institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center supports many traditional uses
• Harvesting should be done sustainably, leaving some on the tree to regrow, and properly drying to prevent mold
• New product lines coming soon include Chaga mint blend and possibly a yerba mate combination
