I Have Been Taking This Chinese Herb….?

By admin Posted in: chinese blood

I have been taking this chinese herb called Lingzhi for about 6 months now it was reccomened to be by a friend, keep you youthfull not that i have to worry about that im only 17, but it has other health benifit too i guess like increased energy helps with heart, blood ect. But I was just wondering if it is healthy for me to be consuming this everyday constantly? or should I give my body a rest from it every now and then? I take two cub thingys a day(the come in a box packaged in 2′s and disolve in boiling water once stirred).

    Basically you should stop taking it.
    Many chinese ‘herbs’ (there’s no quality control so no one knows what’s actually in them) have been found to be contaminated with heavy metals. Traditional chinese medicine ‘doctors’ have a higher rate of acute kidney failure than the rest of the population, probably because they have free access to their own junk.
    Unless your friend happens to be a Nobel prize winning doctor (I’m guessing not, right?) then they haven’t a clue what they’re talking about. Throw the rest of that junk in the bin and if you have any health concerns, see a real doctor.
