In May 2023, Ms Pei-Chin Chung conducted a seminar on the benefits of Lingzhi for people with health problems relating to the "3-Highs" (high blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar), and how they impact your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems if you don't control them properly.

Below are the credentials of this esteemed speaker, Ms Pei-Chin Chung, a Dietitian with Double Crane Group in Taiwan: 

This article is from a talk by Taiwan nutritionist Ms Yu-Chi Cheng, in conjunction with the launch of YKK ("Shen Ji" Lingzhi) in Malaysia on 6 April 2020.

In our body, there are 3 main elimination channels - the wastes are expelled out through our sweat, urine and stools. In this detox process, our kidney plays a very important role as it's one of the main detox pipeline. It may seem like it's not a big deal as going to toilet is something we do everyday. But if the kidneys don't function properly, we will feel a lot of discomfort. Toxins which are stuck in the body will start to poison it.

YKK's main function is to take care of our kidney. If the kidney is healthy and it can flush out all the toxins, the rest of our body organs will also benefit and be healthy.

YKK is the first product derived from antelope Lingzhi. The main ingredient in YKK is lucidenic acid (one of the 200 types of ganoderic acid). The molecule size of lucidenic acid is extremely small and therefore, is able to easily penetrate into every body cell.
This lucidenic acid composition in YKK has received many patents and endorsements, including from China, Taiwan, EU, USA, Hong Kong and Singapore.


Functions and Benefits of YKK

1. Enhance kidney function

Our kidney is like a water purifier. On average, we drink about 2 litres of water a day. But our kidney has to filter about 200 litres of blood daily. After the age of 40, kidney function deteriorates by about 1% every year. Hence early kidney protection is very important, even when they are still healthy.


Experiment: 2 groups of healthy mice (simulating healthy humans) are (i) injected with stevia (sweetener) and (ii) injected with stevia and fed with YKK. The objective is to determine if YKK can increase the kidney's filtration capability (GFR) to excrete out the stevia.

Experiment result:
Top row: Even for mice with healthy kidney, the stevia still stays in the kidney after 60 mins (blue fluorescent colour is still bright).
Bottom row: For mice fed with YKK, the blue fluorescent colour has dimmed tremendously by 60 mins, indicating a faster renal metabolism rate, or better kidney function.
Bar graph: This experiment demonstrates that YKK effectively improves kidney's GFR function by 5 times.

Testimony: High Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Blood Pressure Levels

Ms F introduced her mother to take Lingzhi as her mother has been taking painkillers for the last 10-20 years. They initially thought her pain was caused by arthritis.

Her mother consumed 20 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 4 sachets Yung Kien Pollen a day for 1 month.
Vertigo reaction: She suffered from pain for 8-10 hours and she could not work at all.
To address that, she removed 10 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma from the capsules, mix with water and then drink. She saw a very effective result. She consumed in that manner for 2-3 rounds. She felt less pain and could rest better.
By the next day, the pain had disappeared.

She consumed this dosage for 4 months. She takes care of children and babies which requires her to wake up at midnight to feed them. That causes her to have insufficient sleep. However, after taking Lingzhi and Pollen, overall, she feels more energetic, her body is lighter and her bowel movement is better.

When she did a blood test in September 2016, the blood pressure reading was high and cholesterol reading was 7.2 mmol/L.
When she did another blood test end December 2016, the cholesterol level has reduced to 4.9  mmol/L and her triglyceride level also went down. She did not have uric acid problem as she also drinks Luchun Lingzhi Tea. The readings of her blood density level also reduced. Ms F said she was very amazed as her mother did not take any cholesterol medication, only Lingzhi and Pollen.
Her current dose is 6 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma a day. The painkiller medication is also reduced from 2-3 tablets a day to occasionally 1 a day.

-----------------------------------------

Testimony: High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and High Blood Sugar (3 Highs)

Mr JC's mother is 79 years old. She is a patient of the 3 Highs. When she was diagnosed, the doctor also found that both her kidney functions were about 30%. She has been on medication since her early 50s. They suspect the weakened kidney function was due to long-term use of diabetic drugs. Prior to 2002, she started to find it very difficult to walk. Her children thought it was caused by loss of collagen in her knees but the doctor said there was no problem with her knees.

Just before CNY 2002, one day when she woke up, she could not put her feet on the ground; she felt great pain. She had to be on wheelchair for 2 weeks. Because of that, she was introduced to Shuang Hor products in Mar 2002 and decided to consume 4 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 8 capsules Yung Kien Pollen + 2 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein everyday.

Vertigo reactions: She felt so much pain on Day 2 that she could not sleep and could not walk. Because of the excessive discomfort, she was advised to stop Lingzhi first and concentrated on taking 10-20 Yung Kien Pollen + 4 Jia Hor Soya Protein a day, for 1 month. After that, she included Lingzhi. This time, she could withstand the reactions much better. Thus she continued to take, following a Bell-Shape schedule, up to 12-20 Yung Kien Ganoderma a day (double the amount of Pollen and 4 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein).

She weighed 120+ kg. After the 4 months of consumption, she lost about 15-20 kg - which was later found to be mostly due to very bad water retention. The good news was, despite the quick weight loss, her skin was not wrinkled but still looked very nice.

In 2016, almost 15 years later, her kidney function was still maintained at 30%; no degeneration. She stopped her cholesterol drug in 2005 and took minimum amount of blood pressure drugs. In early 2016, she was approved by her TCM doctor to stop her diabetic drugs. Her sugar level is at 5-7 mmol/L before meals. It is very amazing for such an elderly person who has been on diabetic medication for several decades to be able to stop her medication.

Her maintenance dose is 6 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 15-20 capsules Yung Kien Pollen + 2-4 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein + 2-3 sachet Vitaking + Jia Hor Fiber + Lactoberry + CEO Coffee + Luchun Tea everyday. The reason is after 15 years, she knows that the products are very safe and very effective for someone with her condition. It saves her a lot of time and money in terms of avoiding kidney dialysis or kidney transplant.

Testimony: Low Blood Pressure and Lingzhi

Ms S said her mother suffered from dizzy spells for 3 days and found that her blood pressure reading was 120/40+ mmHg (systolic/diastolic). On a Monday, her diastolic went down to 39 mmHg which was quite critical. She has heart blockage and takes HBP medication. Ms S feared the heart could be weakening. Ms S told her mother to rest and at the same time, consume 10 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma every hour while waiting for her sister to bring her to the hospital. She consumed about 3 or 4 rounds before finally seeing the heart specialist. By then, her blood pressure has normalised at 120/70 mmHg. This shows how effective Lingzhi is when used during emergency situation.

At the same time, her blood test result indicated that her haemoglobin reading was 5.3 g/dL (normal level for females is above 11 g/dL). This is because she's a thalassemic anaemic patient. She was hospitalised on Monday and had a transfusion with 2 bags of blood. She was able to be discharged on Tuesday.

Over the next few days, she took about 20-30 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma. By Thursday morning, she was back to normal. On Saturday, she was healthy enough and could proceed to attend a 7-day meditation retreat in Genting. She was very amazed at how Lingzhi had helped her.

--------------------------------------------

Testimony: High Cholesterol

Ms BT's mother, 59, has been suffering from high cholesterol problem for the past 10 years. In 2015, she was told she was unable to donate blood as she was taking cholesterol medication. She has been taking half a pill daily since her diagnosis. Her reading never drop but hovered around 8-9 mmol/L. She started to complain about feeling weakness in the arm.

In April 2015, she started a 3-month course.
In Month 1, she consumed 4 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 1 sachet Yung Kien Pollen + 2 Jia Hor Soya Protein + 1 Jia Hor Fiber + 1 Lactoberry each time, 3 times a day. She stopped her cholesterol medication to determine if it was the cause of the weakness in her arm.

Healing reaction: Diarrhea of more than 10 times a day. Surprisingly, she didn't feel dehydrated or fatigued. She was able to do house chores.

In Month 2, she reduced the dosage to twice a day. Her diarrhoea gradually reduced.
In Month 3, she reduced further to once a day, as a long-term maintenance.

After 3 months, she did a blood test. The results showed her cholesterol level had dropped to 7 mmol/L, without taking any cholesterol pill. She no longer complained about weakness in her arm. Her temper has also become milder.

---------------------------------------

Testimony: 76 Year Old With High Blood Pressure Falls from Stairs

Mr T's father, 76, had a very bad fall down the stairs about 1 week before Chinese New Year. He was bleeding and was hospitalised for 4-5 days. They ran many tests on him including CT scan and X-ray. It was confirmed he did not suffer concussion. He has existing health conditions including high blood pressure, kidney problem, platelet problem, liver problem and prostate enlargement.

He started taking 11 Yung Kien Ganoderma2 + 11 Yung Kien Ganoderma a day (divided into 4 + 4 morning, 4 + 4 afternoon and 3 + 3 at night). He also takes 2 Vitaking a day. He used to take 4 different kinds of high blood pressure medication. During this period, he stopped them all because his blood pressure reading appeared normal hence there was no necessity to take any meds. His reading was 122/76 mmHg.

Healing reaction after 4 days: Very tired, had to sleep 16 hours a day, dizzy.
After Day 5: Diarrhea everyday up to 10 times a day, even though he didn't eat much. He did not feel dehydrated or any weakness in his legs caused by diarrhoea. He had no appetite because the food tastes bad to his tastebuds (doctor said the CT scan will have the side effect of disrupting the appetite).

Week 2: He doesn't look so weak anymore. He regained his normal appetite. The bruises have disappeared. His blood pressure was maintained at a healthy level.

Mr T's father suffered from a critical situation. If Mr T didn't have such confidence in Lingzhi, his father could very well still be in hospital or perhaps need to undergo operation, during the Chinese New Year period.

1. High Blood Pressure

There are over 300 types of blood pressure drugs, depending on the cause of high blood pressure, such as:

• hardening of arteries 
• kidney problem
• heart problem
• deficiency of magnesium and potassium or excess sodium 
• malfunctioning of endothelial cells / macrophage. 

In trying to establish which is the correct drug for your condition, you are treated like a guinea pig. If the medication is right, your blood pressure level should lower within 1 week. If not, your doctor will give you another type of medicine to try. Unfortunately during this period of trial and error, your liver and kidney are harmed by the wrong medications and their side effects.

How Lingzhi Works 

(a) Clears blockages in the arteries caused by thrombi, cholesterol, lipids etc.
(b) Improves elasticity of blood vessels and reduces hardening of the arteries.
(c) Cleanses blood (as opposed to warfarin and aspirin drugs which only thins down the blood).
(d) Regulates macrophages and endothelial cells to prevent immune system malfunction.
(e) Removes the side effects of medications.

-----------------------------------------

For certain people with high blood pressure and high blood sugar problem, when they consume Lingzhi, they may experience a healing reaction of higher blood pressure / blood sugar readings. But this is only temporary. Despite the higher readings, they will not feel the kind of dizziness that they would feel in normal times when their readings shoot up.

--------------------------------------

Testimony
In an emergency situation, how do you reduce blood pressure level that suddenly shoots up very high?
If time permits, remove up to 30 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma from the capsules and mix the powder with warm water. Feed immediately to the patient.
If time does not permit, get the patient to chew up to 5 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma each time. This is the fastest way for Lingzhi to reach the blood stream. At the same time, ask the patient to inhale deeply to the count of 10 and exhale to the count of 10. Repeat the deep breathing for 30 times. Within 30 minutes, the blood pressure should reduce substantially.

---------------------------------------

2. High Cholesterol

People with high cholesterol problem take statin drugs to block the liver from over-producing cholesterol.
Side-effects include weakening of muscles resulting in difficulty walking, and memory loss due to damage caused to brain cells.

How Lingzhi Works

(a) Cleanses the bad LDL cholesterol and lipids from the blood vessels and clears blockages in the arteries.
(b) Repairs and regenerates new liver cells and enhances liver function.
(c) Encourages lower production of cholesterol by the liver as the molecular structure of Lingzhi's triterpenoids is similar to that of cholesterol.
(d) Improves elasticity of blood vessels.

--------------------------------------

Cholesterol and liver
When the body lacks energy, the liver keeps producing more cholesterol because it is a source of energy and a raw material for the production of hormones. Do you know that Lingzhi's molecular structure is quite similar to that of cholesterol? Hence by consuming Lingzhi, we are able to "trick" the liver to reduce the over-production of cholesterol.

You have a "3-High" Problem if your readings exceed these level:

1. Hypertension:
Systolic pressure > 140 mmHg.
Diastolic pressure > 90 mmHg.

2. Diabetes:
Before meals blood sugar level > 6.9 mmol/L.

3. High blood lipid:
Total cholesterol level > 5.2 mmol/L.
LDL-C level > 2.58 mmol/L.
Triglyceride level > 1.7 mmol/L.

--------------------------------------

How does Lingzhi / Ganoderma address these 3 conditions?

1. Reduce LDL and Triglyceride levels and increase HDL level
LDL is considered a "bad" cholesterol. After it brings the nutrients to our body cells, it will stay at the cells and wait for the HDL ("good" cholesterol) to transport it back to our liver. When Lingzhi works to reduce your LDL level, your blood vessels will be cleaner and there is less blockage. When your HDL level is increased, the flow of the nutrients will be smoother as your blood vessels are not blocked.

2. Inhibit HmG-CoA enzyme
This enzyme helps your liver to synthesise more cholesterol. As Lingzhi can reduce this enzyme, it will control the over-production of cholesterol by your liver. This helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

3. Reduce oxidation of LDL-C
When LDL is oxidised, it will become free radicals and can cause your arteries to be thickened, thereby increasing your chances of getting stroke. When the viscosity of your blood is thicker, like mud, it flows slower, and increase your risk of heart attacks. Lingzhi is effective to reduce the oxidation of LDL.

4. Reduce inflammation
Lingzhi slows down the process of hardening of arteries by getting rid of the build-up of plague in your arteries.

5. Inhibit platelet aggregation
Lingzhi prevents platelet from clotting together in certain areas of your blood vessels and hence contribute to lowering your blood pressure level.

Everybody knows it's good to eat more fibre. But do you know why? Dietary fibre serves many functions for our body. Amongst others, it helps:

• Keep the pH level balanced inside our colon
• Prevent toxin build-up in our body
• Regulate our bowel activities
• Enhance our nutrient absorption
• Promote healthier bodyweight
• Prevent chronic diseases

Our body is made up of more than 63 trillion cells. As a result of our lifestyle and the environment we are exposed to, we build-up toxins in our body, eventually leading to unhealthy cells which are mutated or injured. That's when we start to fall sick, and contract all sorts of degenerative diseases.

How Does Lingzhi Help?

Lingzhi / ganoderma has the ability to restore our health back from Illness, to Pre-Illness, to Healthy level. Lingzhi (I am referring to the one from Shuang Hor) enables and protects because it is able to:

• Detoxify and eliminate toxins from our body
• Promote our body's self-healing ability
• Boost our multi-enzymatic system
• Enhance our immune system

Specifically, Shuang Hor Lingzhi is very effective to do the following:

1. Strengthen our Liver

• Purify and cleanse our blood
• Improve liver function as it is a powerful detoxifier

A stroke happens when the blood supply to a part of the brain is cut off. It is a medical emergency. The earlier treatment is provided, the lesser will be the damage. Stroke is the 3rd most common cause of death in Malaysia. It is estimated that in every hour, 6 people experience a stroke.

There are several measures that can be taken to prevent a stroke.

1. High blood pressure

Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke. A reduction in blood pressure reduces the incidence of stroke. A reduction of the systolic blood pressure by 10mm Hg is associated with a 33% reduction in the risk of stroke, regardless of the baseline blood pressure. Hypertension is controlled by diet, exercise and medicines.

2. Hyperlipidaemia

There is an association between raised blood lipids and high cholesterol, and the risk of ischaemic stroke. Hyperlipidaemia is controlled by diet, exercise and medicines.

3. Diabetes

Diabetes increases the risk of ischaemic stroke by 1.8 to 6 times. The incidence of stroke is significantly reduced by stringent control of hypertension in diabetics. Diabetes is controlled by diet, exercise and medicines.

4. Diet

Foods to avoid include those rich in fat that lead to fatty deposits in the artery walls. A low-fat, high-fibre diet (at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables) is recommended. A balanced diet has to include some unsaturated fat like fish, olive and vegetable oils. Daily salt intake should not be more than 1 teaspoonful.

5. Exercise

Regular exercise ensures that the heart and blood circulation are efficient, keeps the blood pressure normal and lowers blood cholesterol. It is better to accept a steady rate of weight loss instead of sudden weight loss in a short period of time, to ensure that the weight loss can be maintained in the long-term.

6. Smoking

Both active and passive smoking increase the risk of stroke. Smoking doubles the risk as it leads to narrowing of the arteries and increases the likelihood of our blood clotting. Smoking cessation can reduce the risk of stroke by up to 50%.

7. Alcohol consumption

Heavy alcohol consumption increases the risk of stroke by 3 times as it can lead to high blood pressure and irregular heart beats. Further, alcohol causes weight gain because they are high-calorie compounds.

8. Drugs

Aspirin or other anti-platelet medicines should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor. Be careful to avoid falls or tripping when taking these blood-thinning medicines.
