I was lucky to discover Mycotherapy

I was lucky to discover Mycotherapy. Although, to be honest, things happen, but in a certain sense, after all, we are the ones who make them happen.

The truth is, mine wasn't a choice. It was a vocation, an overwhelming desire, which started when I was still a child. At the age of seven I was sure that when I grew up, I wanted to help people, to alleviate their suffering. Even now I’m a lot older, the mission of alleviating the pains, pathologies, psycho-physical ailments of people is still fundamental for me, stronger than ever.


As a young man I studied, worked, looked for answers to my countless questions and of course I found many! But it was never enough, I didn't feel I had discovered all there was to know. For this reason, I can say that things happen, but in the end it is we who make them happen because I was convinced that, in addition to conventional medicine, in addition to the usual treatments, there was something more, other solutions, other answers...

So, after my degree in medicine, psychiatry specialization, psychotherapy school and various studies in the areas of both natural and conventional medicine, I decided to make a study trip to the University Hospital of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai, to develop the knowledge I learned in Milan at the Acupuncture School. And voilà, as well as getting a Master’s degree in Acupuncture, it was in China that I finally found the answer! In the moments free from work and study, during the internship at the hospital in Shanghai, with Dr. Pei, to whom I had been assigned, we visited the wards of the hospital and had interesting conversations. It was there that I discovered Mycotherapy.

In the next articles I will talk about how I discovered Mycotherapy and why it convinced me. 
Once I was back in Italy, I began to investigate the subject and started using it myself. I must admit I was in quite good health, but some ailments had already appeared, such as a slight increase in my blood pressure.
Taking Medicinal Mushrooms, day after day, I began to feel better and better, much better! My energy levels increased, my skin improved, my expression was more relaxed and also the stories of those who turned to me and were treated with Medicinal Mushrooms were all success stories, of psychophysical well-being. From that moment on, I have continued to increase my knowledge of Mycotherapy using Medicinal Mushrooms for myself and my patients.

Now we come to what, with incredulity and enthusiasm, I wanted to tell you today. Several years have passed, my daughters, then little girls, have grown up, the bold young man who devoted whole days to work and whole nights to research have left room for a man who is certainly wiser, but also older.
Yet, on 14th September, 2022, with a backpack on my shoulder, my wife by the hand and a supply of Medicinal Mushrooms in my pocket, I left for the Camino de Santiago.

Never, never, had they told me when I was 20, would I have believed it. I probably would have hoped for it, but perhaps I would not have believed it possible to realize this dream too: the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, which I did full of energy, without ever feeling too tired thanks to Mycotherapy, which supported me, as it supports me in my everyday life.

We walked around 170km in seven days. We started from Oia in Portugal and reached Santiago on foot, walking an average of 25 km per day, with energy, happiness and enthusiasm!
