In November, 2023, Ms Chun-Ching Wu (Ginny Wu) presented 12 testimonies which illustrate how to effectively use Equivalent Target Lingzhi to help manage various health conditions. 

Since young, our mothers always nag us to "Eat more fibre". Do you know why? 

This post shares with you the importance of taking sufficient fibre and the grave consequences of fibre deficiency.

Fibre is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, legumes etc. It is actually the roughage or bulk that stays relatively intact throughout our digestive tract because unlike carbo, proteins or fats, it cannot be digested. 

These are some tell-tale signals which your body gives you when you're not taking enough fibre:

> Constipation. Even though there are many factors that contribute to constipation, fibre deficiency is one of the major contributor.

> Feeling hungry soon after eating, as fibre gives a feeling of satiety.

> Weight gain. Fibre helps to maintain a healthy weight. If you don't consume enough fibre, you may be at risk of gaining extra kgs.

> Bloating symptoms, as fibre contributes to our gut health.

> Elevated cholesterol, if you don't take enough soluble fibre.

> High blood sugar level.

In Malaysia, the recommended intake is 20-30g of dietary fibre per day. BUT do you know that according to the statistics from the National Health & Morbidity Survey, 95% of Malaysians do not consume enough fibre? One of the consequences is increased risk of colorectal cancer. Other factors which increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer include age (over 50), high-fat diet, being overweight and alcohol & tobacco use. Apart from age, all the others are modifiable factors, i.e. they are lifestyle habits which we can change.

According to WHO, colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer type worldwide, with almost 2 million cases diagnosed in 2020. It's the 2nd most common cause of cancer death, with almost 1 million deaths / year. In Malaysia, colorectal cancer is the leading cancer for males and 2nd leading cancer for females (after breast cancer). Unfortunately despite it being one of the most common cancer, it's usually diagnosed late: up to 73.1% are diagnosed at Stages 3 & 4. 

How to prevent colorectal cancer?

> Adequate fibre intake.

> Reduce processed meat.

> Reduce alcohol.

> Maintain weight.

> Be physically active.

Introducing Jia Hor Fibre

Jia Hor Fibre contains water soluble and insoluble dietary fibre, Lingzhi and minerals. Each sachet offers 4g of dietary fibre, enriched with Digestion Resistant Maltodextrin.

(a) Insoluble fibre

This type of fibre doesn't dissolve in water or intestinal fluid and thus helps food to pass through the digestive system and helps bulk up the stools. As such, it's effective to:

> Reduce diverticular disease (small pouches that form in the wall of the colon) risk.

> Reduce colorectal cancer risk.

> Improve satiation as it physically fills up our stomach thereby making us feel full for longer after meals.

> Prevent constipation (defined as having hard and dry stools or less than 3 bowel movements / week). Common causes of constipation are:

- Older adults.

- Pregnant women.

- Low fibre diet.

- Dehydration.

- Certain medication.

(b) Soluble fibre

This type of fibre dissolves in water and intestinal fluid to form a gel-like material and provides these benefits:

> Aids in weight management because the thick and spreadout gel helps to reduce the absorption of fat in our body hence help to maintain a healthy body weight.

> Lowers cholesterol by trapping the bad cholesterol and prevents the body from reabsorbing it. 

> Stabilizes blood sugar because it reduces the absorption of carbo or glucose hence reduces glucose spikes after meals.

> By maintaining healthy weight, reducing cholesterol and stablising blood sugar, it helps to reduce cardiovascular risk.

> Being a gel-like material that cannot be digested in the small intestines, it's fermented by the healthy gut bacteria in the colon, thereby feeding them.

Digestion resistant maltodextrin cannot be digested by the small intestine. It's fermented by gut bacteria in the colon and produces beneficial short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. Hence it's health enhancing. 

The benefits of Resistant Maltodextrin include:

> Enhances gut health.

> Increases satiation and reduces food intake.

> Reduces fat absorption.

> Maintains healthy blood sugar level and doesn't cause blood sugar spikes after consumption.

Note: Digestible maltodextrin increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and other health issues as it has high GI value and causes blood sugar spikes after consumption. 

Benefits of Jia Hor Fibre

1. Improves gastrointestinal health

Promotes regular bowel movements & reduces accumulation of toxins in the intestinal tract ~ reduces the risk of colorectal cancer.

2. Aids in blood glucose control

Improves blood glucose metabolism & reduces glucose spike after meals ~ helps control blood sugar and prevents complications of diabetes.

3. Lowers serum cholesterol

Water soluble fibre helps absorb cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels ~ reduces LDL cholesterol and risk of arteries hardening.

4. Maintains healthy gut microbiome

Adequate dietary fibre (20-30g) encourages the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and reduce harmful bacteria ~ preserves the vitality of intestinal tract.

5. Maintains healthy bodyweight

Provides sense of fullness ~ ideal for controlling weight.

How to Consume?

> Recommended usage: 3-4 sachets daily.

> Mix with 300ml of warm water, fruit juices, milk or other drinks.

How to Order? 

A box of 20 sachets of Jia Hor Fibre costs RM90 for Malaysian members.

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.

Why is the cholesterol level in certain sick people high?
Because cholesterol is one of the ingredients for energy. When energy in our body is exhausted, the liver is called upon to produce more energy. Thus the liver produces an enzyme called HMG CoA Reductase, which produces CoQ10, which produces ATP, which becomes energy. At the same time, this enzyme also produces cholesterol. That's why the liver will produce more cholesterol when it produces more energy. Because of this, cholesterol level is high. People who are sick for long term is not uncommon to also have high level of cholesterol.

How does Vitaking help?
One of the ingredients is ribose, which can be converted into instant energy. Hence taking Vitaking helps to replenish the depleted energy. When ATP energy is sufficient in the body, the liver will stop producing so much cholesterol. Indirectly, you can reduce your cholesterol level. Also, when your limbs are weak, taking Vitaking strengthens your muscles.

Vitaking also contains lemon verbena. It is a natural herb for anti-inflammation.
To help subside inflammation, take Vitaking together with Lingzhi for better results.
You need to take at high dose. You may think that you can take at lower dose for longer period and save money. But you won't experience as much noticeable improvement to your health and so you give up too soon (e.g. an obese person won't notice much weight reduction if she only exercises once a week and because of that, gives up exercising).

When you are really sick, take up to 6-8 sachets a day. A lower dose gives you the collagen, which is good. But you actually need more lemon verbena to subside your inflammation problem. Thus a higher dosage is needed.

Some people who take Vitaking get diarrhoea as part of their vertigo reaction. Why?
Because these people have a lot of bad bacteria in their colon. The good bacteria are starving. When the good bacteria are fed with good food, they suddenly have energy to fight and kill the bad bacteria. That's why some people have diarrhoea to flush out the toxins in their colon.

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

Western medicine works on body organs, not cells. This means, if you have a headache, you take painkiller to reduce the pain. If you have stomachache, you take medicine to ease that pain. The treatment only handles the symptoms (in this case, the pain). Thus it is a temporary relief. Unfortunately, these medicines do not address the root cause of the problem - the thing that is causing the problem. Because of the nature of treatment, after taking one type of medicine for many years, you will definitely end up taking more and more different types of medicine in the long-term.

Lingzhi works differently. It addresses the source of the problem, which are all the tiny 63 trillion cells in our body. Once these cells are regulated, or repaired, or rejuvenated, or regenerated, the headache or stomachache will be addressed.

About 75-80% of the cholesterol in our body is produced by our own liver. Only 20-25% come from our food intake. The liver also produces triglycerides. If these readings are high, doctors will prescribe medicine. But if having high cholesterol level is such a bad thing, why does your body produce it in the first place?

Why does your liver produce so much cholesterol?

Because cholesterol is needed for many important functions in our body.

(i) It is an important building block for body tissues and cell membranes. It helps form the outer layer of cells.

(ii) It is needed to synthesise vitamin D. We need cholesterol in our skin cells to make vitamin D from sunlight. If you don't have sufficient vitamin D, the calcium consumed will not be absorbed and utilised by the body. Calcium may also become calcified, and arteries around the heart will be hardened.

(iii) It is needed for endocrine system (hormone production system). The ingredient to manufacture hormones is cholesterol. Imbalance of oestrogen and progesterone can cause cysts, fibroids and endometriosis. Cortisol hormones are produced by adrenal glands when one is stressed, to help relieve the stress. But over-production of cortisol create disruption to body eg. increased blood sugar level and digestive problems.

(iv) It is needed for nervous system. The brain stores up to 20% of total body cholesterol because it's needed to transmit messages. If you don't have sufficient cholesterol, the message transmission process slows down, leading to Alzheimer and Parkinson disease. Excess cholesterol blocks blood vessels and can increase the risk of stroke.

https://pingofhealthexclusive.blogspot.com/2019/05/statins-how-they-work-on-cholesterol.html

Here's a quick refresher on what is cholesterol, why is it important for our body, how medicines work and what are their side effects, and the role Lingzhi plays.


About 75-80% of the cholesterol in our body is produced by our own liver. Only 20-25% come from our food intake. The LDL is "bad" cholesterol because it sticks to the blood vessels, resulting in Hardening and Blockage of arteries. However, if LDL is balanced by a healthy level of HDL, the "good" cholesterol, then it is of no concern, because HDL brings excess LDL back to the liver.

Other causes of blockages in the arteries include:

(i) calcification, where calcium build up in places where it doesn't usually appear.
(ii) thrombus caused by the aggregation and clotting of too much platelets, thereby creating blood clots.

The common Western medication prescribed for blocked blood vessels are Aspirin and Statin drugs:

(a) Aspirin stops platelets from sticking together to form blood clots. Some side effects include stomach pain and internal bleeding.

(b) Statin blocks the enzyme called HMG-CoA Reductase (which is a substance the body needs to make cholesterol) and thus stops the liver from producing too much cholesterol. It acts as a Blood Thinner, by diluting and reducing the viscosity of the blood.

One of the best selling statins is atovarstatin, marketed under the trade name Lipitor. Apart from cholesterol, it is also prescribed by doctors for people with blood circulatory system problems, including HBP (caused by blockage of arteries) and diabetes (which can cause heart attacks and strokes).

Statins are used to lower blood lipids and treat hypercholesterolemia, and should only be used for people who have not responded to lifestyle changes (sleeping early, consuming less alcohol and stop smoking) and special diet (less red meat, no fried food etc) over a period of 4 months. Your doctor should not immediately prescribe you drugs without first advising you to reduce your cholesterol level the natural way.

Note: Statins only block the enzyme from producing new cholesterol but the excess old cholesterols are still circulating in the bloodstream, not cleared.

Side effects of Statins

- Damage muscles, create muscle pain and cause inflammation. This happens gradually and after 5-7 years of consumption, patients will find that their legs have no strength, becoming weaker and weaker.
- Nausea.
- Loss of memory. Under TCM theory, the liver transport blood to the brain. Due to the blockage, less blood flows to the brain, resulting in death of brain cells and hence memory loss over long-term consumption.
- Insomnia.
- Joint pain and back pain.

How does Lingzhi Work?

On the contrary, a Blood Cleanser (such as Lingzhi) works differently.
This is what it does:

(i) Removes excess LDL from the blood vessels.
(ii) Removes excess calcium deposit from the blood vessels.
(iii) Cleanses the blood from blockages like thrombi.
(iv) Regulates the functions of macrophage and endothelial cells. An auto-immune disorder will cause them to behave abnormally. When there is too much fats in the blood vessels, the macrophages would swallow them. But due to the disorder, the macrophages are unable to stop and continue to swallow until they explode. The waste then remains at the site, causing inflammation in the area. Endothelial cells sense the damage and go to rectify it. However, such actions cause blockage when they release too much tissues in their effort to repair, narrowing the vessel passage more and more, potentially causing strokes or heart attacks.

If cholesterol is so bad, why do we need cholesterol?


It is an important building block for body tissues and cell membranes.
It is a source of energy.
It helps in the production of hormones, like oestrogen, testosterone and adrenal hormones.
It assists in bile production in the liver.

If the liver sees that the body's energy and hormone level are low, it will keep producing more cholesterol. For example, according to TCM theory, the gallbladder detox and rests at 11pm-1am and the liver detox at 1am-3am. We should be in deep sleep during these hours for the liver to do its job. People who always sleep late will easily get gout (excess uric acid cannot be excreted by the liver) and are at higher risk of getting gallstones (excess calcium buildup which leads to calcification and stones).

If a person's heart always beat very fast, it utilises a lot of energy, so the liver keeps producing cholesterol to replace the energy used. Likewise, smoking and alcohol also use a lot of energy thus induce the liver to over-produce cholesterol.

Taking Lingzhi help you regulate your cholesterol level. The active component that works on choelsterol is Triterpenoid, which triggers the liver to reduce production of cholesterol. Choose Yung Kien Ganoderma as it contains 12.6% Triterpenoid.

What is the difference between Drugs and Lingzhi?

Statin drug can only block the liver from producing cholesterol.
Lingzhi works to reduce the LDL cholesterol. Lingzhi also help regenerate new liver cells.
Note that should a person have a lot of blockages in his blood vessels, he may feel a lot of ache in his body during the period of healing reaction.

What else must you take at the same time?

(i) Jia Hor Soya Protein - the lecithin also works to cleanse blockages of the blood vessels.
(ii) Jia Hor Fiber - the maltodextrin is helpful in absorbing the free fatty acids from our food to reduce the assimilation of cholesterol into the blood.

Take these together with 12 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma a day, over a period of 6 months, as recommended by Dr Chen. Click here for details..

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.

Frisky Goat

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.

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that does not dissolve in water. It is present in every cell in our body. About 3/4 of the cholesterol in our body is produced by our liver and the balance 1/4 comes from the food we consume.

There are 3 Types of cholesterol and briefly their functions are:

1) 60%-80% are LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) - Carries cholesterol from liver to body cells where it is used in the membranes, to produce protective walls around your cells and create hormones.

2) 15%-20% are HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) - Carries cholesterol from cells back to liver, so the cholesterol can be eliminated in the bile.

3) 20% are Triglycerides - It's a highly concentrated source of energy and hence fuels the body. It mainly comes from the food we eat.

Benefits of Cholesterol

• Vital for proper functioning of brain and nervous system. Protect brain cells and facilitate transmission of electrical impulses that govern thought, movement and sensation.
• Used by liver to synthesise bile, which breakdown and digest fats.
