A study was done in a rehabilitative hospital in the Gunma prefecture in Japan, with 50 patients in an experimental group and 50 patients used as a control. All patients suffered from cerebrovascular diseases causing senility, Parkinson's disease, or other spinocerebellar and orthopedic diseases that afflict the elderly. Seven of the patients in the experimental group suffered from different types of dementia.

The patients in this group received 5g of dried Lion's Mane Mushroom per day in their soup for a 6-month period. All patients were evaluated before and after the treatment period for their Functional Independence Measure (FIM), which is a measure of independence in physical capabilities (eating, dressing, walking, etc) and perceptual capacities (understanding, communication, memory, etc).

The results of this preliminary study show that after six months of taking Lion's Mane Mushroom, six out of seven Alzheimer's patients demonstrated improvements in their perceptual capacities, and all seven had improvements in their overall FIM score.

Very Interesting stuff!
