Welcome!

My name is Kristina Okuda and my story starts in 2002, when a friend asked me to get them some Brazilian Agaricus Blazei Murrill mushrooms for his father with lung cancer. Growing up in Brazil, I knew where to look for them. I did some additional research on the ABM mushroom and thought it was interesting …… but little did I know that 3 months later I would be in trouble myself!

During that summer, I constantly felt bloated and my stomach grew larger everyday. I knew something was wrong so I went to have it checked out. I ended up being misdiagnosed by THREE doctors! Finally, a fourth doctor sent me to get a scan. That is when I started to take the mushrooms.

After waiting for 3 weeks, I got the confirmation I had a 22 lb ovarian tumor! How can 3 doctor’s miss that? It was a heavy wake up call to what is important in life. I was not ready to say good bye to my life at age 40! I had surgery to get it removed because it could burst at any moment. They told me that if I got it again it would kill me. However, I was determined not have to go through this ever again.

In essence, all of the research I read about the ABM mushrooms proved to be true and it reflected in my quick healing and blood work. Ultimately, this ordeal led me to the founding of Desert Forest Nutritionals, offering a pure authentic line of Brazilian ABM mushroom extracts plus a lifetime of educational support to help people find good health on their terms.

Don’t wait to make your health a priority. Let’s talk now.
