Scientists have found that the Kutchi mushroom will cure cancer. as it has a rare radioactive element
Since 2017, when mushroom cultivation started, scientists have found a very rare substance called astatine in this mushroom, which can be very useful in treating cancer.
The Department of Chemistry of Kutch University discovered a rare radioactive substance called astatine in research to find a beneficial substance in mushrooms at the Gujarat Institute of Desert Ecology.
This statine can play an important role in radiation therapy for cancer treatment.
In 2017, the Gujarat Institute of Desert Ecology created a new revolution by starting mushroom cultivation in the dry climate of Kutch.
After the pink oyster mushroom, the guide also successfully cultivated Cordyceps, a medicinal mushroom species grown in the lab.
Research on pink oyster mushrooms was started by the guide to know the beneficial substances found in this mushroom.
However, due to a lack of necessary equipment for research, samples of this mushroom were given to the Department of Chemistry, University of Kutch.
The university’s chemistry department found large amounts of sodium, chloride, and 12 per cent astatine in the sample.
Statin is such a rare radioactive substance that it is estimated that there are only 25 grams of Statin thousand in the entire earth.
Considered highly unstable, this substance has a maximum age of eight hours, so little research has been done on it.
Due to the side effects of chemotherapy used to treat cancer, medical science is now turning to radiation therapy, in which this radioactive substance can be very useful.
However, researchers are still curious about where this estatin originated in the mushroom.
Surprisingly, estatin from Kutchi mushrooms is very stable, and even after a week, it is still present in thousands of mushroom samples.
With more research in this direction, cancer treatment and the scientists working behind the artificial production of such a rare substance can achieve great success.
