At first, I thought; Oh No, now I have to be the "bad guy" again, and start digging out the phase one studies and the critiques of all those Japanese "studies" and spell out the difference between eating mushrooms and getting injections of beta glucan (the active ingredient in Maitake).
But instead you were very reasonable:

Thank you.
By the way, one reason people don't usually resurrect 7 year old threads is that a lot of the information is badly outdated.
Like the "interesting" theory of a virus causing this cancer, when now we know for a fact that HPV does cause oral cancer.
Another example in this old thread, is the concept of having the "maximum " radiation done (presumably 77 GY) - which may have been true 7 years ago, but as Kelly211 and myself and PaulB show, not true anymore.
