Discovery of the health benefits of Chaga tea

Why did the Russian peasants never get cancer? Trying to save money on tea, they drank the chaga infusion instead. They collected it from birch trees, ground it, and then prepared it.

The chaga mushroom is considered one of the most popular alternative beverages for preventing cancer and in some cases it helps to treat it.

How Chaga Tea Was Discovered

Sergey N. Maslennikov, a Russian doctor, remembered by the local population, many years after his death, was born on June 21, 1887 into a poor family of the merchant Nikita Maslennikov. Nikita Konstantinovich served as the main manager of the merchant Obrezkova, then she became a co-owner of a wine shop. He was kind and gentle, and he loved children. One of his granddaughters recalled that he allowed them to braid his beard into braids when they were little. His wife Elikanida Mikhailovna, unlike her husband, was a severe, practical and realistic woman. She had been saving berries from her large garden for a jam that was sold in the store.

In 1908, Sergey graduated from the Moscow University Medical Faculty, and then worked on Aleksandrov at the Zemstvo hospital. In October 1910 he married Maria Mikhailovna Sokolova. He was born in Saint Petersburg in the family of the librarian of the Tauride Palace. After the death of his parents, he lived with his relatives Dobronravov. Elikanida Mikhaylovna believed that the orphan girlfriend Masha Sokolova was not a good match for her son, but she insisted on marriage. In 1912 they had a daughter, Catherine, in 1913, Maria.

In 1914-1918, Sergey Maslennikov served in the 197th Infantry Regiment 6-th Siberian Division, in 1916, he worked in a hospital in Nizhniy Novgorod. From 1924 to 1935 he traveled throughout the country: he worked in Tashkazenskom county in Syrdarya province, then in Sakhalin, in Blagoveshchensk in Kara-Bugaz. In 1935 he returned to Alexandrov. From 1941 he served in the hospital, then as a doctor in the Alexander sanitation centers.

Sergey was a talented man, a hard worker. He compiled many recipes that are still consumed by the residents of the city for the treatment of sore throats, colds … He was also a doctor-researcher.

The main achievement of his life – a discovery, as indicated in the “description of the invention”, “symptomatic tool to facilitate the condition of cancer patients.”

Solzhenitsyn, one of Maslennikov’s “correspondence patients”, recounts this in the novel “Cancer Ward”:

“Friends! It is an amazing story. It was told to me by a patient who came here for a check, while I was still waiting to be admitted here. So, without taking any chances, I wrote a postcard with the sender from the hospital. And now the answer has arrived! Twelve days have passed, and the answer. And the doctor Maslennikov even apologized to me for the delay, because it turned out that he had to answer an average of ten letters per day. And less than half an hour is not enough for a good letter. So for five hours a day, someone was writing letters! And you don’t get anything for it! … And it has no staff, assistants, secretaries. him – when off duty. And there is no glory for their work either! For us sick patients, the doctor is like a boatman: we need him for an hour, and then we don’t know him. throw away the cards. At the end of the letter, he complains that patients, especially someone he helped, stop writing to him. They do not write e about the doses taken and the results. And he also asked me, begged me to answer him thoughtfully!

… a former patient told me about Dr. Maslennikov (a former rural doctor from Alexander County, near Moscow). He has been there for decades, ever since he got there, treated at the same hospital. And then he realized that although the medical literature wrote more and more about cancer, it did not have cancer patients among the peasants. Why was this? …

He began to study … and found this phenomenon: that in order to save money on tea, the men all over this area make not tea, but chaga, also known as birch mushroom. … Then Sergey N. Maslennikov thought: isn’t that chaga with which Russian peasants have been treated for cancer for centuries, without knowing it?

But obviously this was not enough. We had to check everything. We still had many, many years to watch those who drink this homemade tea and those who don’t. This meant giving this drink to those with a tumor and taking responsibility for not treating them by other means. Then guess at what temperature to prepare and in what doses, whether to boil or not, and how many glasses to drink, without damaging. Then look at which tumors it affects and which ones it affects the least. “

Solzhenitsyn experienced the healing effect of mushrooms, as did thousands of other people. Many of which Sergey N. saved.

It is worth reading your notebooks with records of the results of your treatments. There are frequent records of full recovery. But for a long time this method of treatment was not recognized. He had to see patients in secret, not at work or at home. Only in 1950, after many years of research and observation, Sergey N. applied for his invention at the Ministry of Health. The copyrights were obtained in 1958, eight years later.

Like all talented people, Dr. Maslenikov was a versatile man, fond of many things, such as hunting and gardening. He also walked all over Alexandrov with a camera, filming every corner. Many photos of Sergiev Posad were preserved in the cities of southern Russia.

And recently, in 2001, the Japanese pharmaceutical company became interested in the invention of Dr. Aleksandrov. Following Sergei Nikitich, his representatives came to his museum, and then in Japan they published a magazine dedicated to the doctor Maslennikov and Chaga.
