Gout is a type of arthritis where small crystals form inside and around the joints, causing sudden attacks of severe pain and swelling. The condition is more common in men over 30 and women after menopause.

A study examined whether there's a link between gout flares and heart attacks / strokes. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, examined electronic health records of more than 62,000 patients with gout in England. 10,475 of these patients had a heart-related problem not long after.

Patients who suffered a heart attack / stroke were:

> Almost 2 times as likely to have had a gout flare-up in the 60 days prior.

> 1.5 times more likely to have had a gout flare-up in the 61-120 days before.

The results show that gout patients who have a flare-up have a higher risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. 

Thus, people with recurrent gout flares should consider treatments to remove urate crystal deposits. Allopurinol drugs is used to lower high uric acid level but educate yourself on the multiple side effects. Patients would also need to be concurrently treated with Colchicine for the first few months, as Allopurinol may trigger gout flares in the short term.

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. 

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 talks about the application of Shuang Hor products in addressing different kinds of diseases related to 3 main systems in our body - Immune system, Nervous system and Circulatory system.


1. Immune System 
- allergy, cancer, SLE, AIDs

(a) Immune-Regulatory Effect

Lingzhi has the ability to suppress over-active immune cells (which refers to T and B cells). The T and B cells start to act irregularly when the body is constantly under a lot of stress. They may randomly attack your platelets or blood vessels (causing stroke).

There's no medicine to treat auto-immune problems completely. Doctors can only control using steroid. No doubt steroids can suppress immunity, but there are a lot of side effects. And if the level of T and B cells are constantly low, it increases the risk of cancer.

Our body's most powerful anti-cancer cells are NKC and phagocytes. They patrol our body and swallow the cancer cells.

Young people have thousands of cancer cells in their body. These cells are unable to form into tumour because they are eaten by the NKC and phagocytes, which are active and functioning well. Those who succumb to cancer have low levels of NKC and phagocytes.

Some symptoms of poor immunity and thus face higher risks of cancer:
- White spots on the tongue or lining of mouth.
- Mouth ulcers that will not heal.
- Hardly have fever.

Old people have tens of thousands of cancer cells. One of the ways the body protects itself is to group all cancer cells together to form a tumour.
If size of tumour is less than 1 cm, it is undetectable.
If size of tumour is 3-4 cm, it can be detected. By then, it may be at stage 3, especially for colon cancer.

How Lingzhi works

For auto-immunity problems, Lingzhi suppresses the activity of T and B cells. At the same time, it boosts up the activity of NKC and phagocytes. YK2 works more effectively for those with auto-immune problem due to the higher content of triterpenoids.

Take at least 20 YK1 or 3 YK2 within an hour to suppress the activity of T cells.
If the auto-immunity problem is very severe, take the said dose 3-4 times / day.

(b) Anti-tumour Activity

Our WBC count start to deteriorate as we grow older. There is no medicine in the market that can boost up WBC. However, YK1 has the certification that it can do so.

Click on this link for more info on the types of certifications YK1 has been accredited with:
http://www.pingofhealth.com/2011/11/accreditation-and-endorsements-for.html

YK1 has the ability to activate the vitality of WBC and that's how it achieves anti-tumour ability. When the WBC kill the enemies (by engulfing and swallowing them), they also die at the same time. If you have sufficient and strong WBC, they can quickly eliminate the pathogens.

This explains why some people feel feverish after taking Lingzhi. People who don't get fever could mean their WBC are not working. Because one way to destroy the virus is by increasing the body temperature. Hence fever is a good sign as it means that the body is fighting against the invaders. Such people recover quickly from their illnesses. Relying on panadols and aspirins are not good solutions in the long-term because the WBC would forget how to work.

How to take Lingzhi

Stage 4 cancer = 2 boxes YK2/day for a higher chance of survival + 10-20 sachets Pollen + JH Soya (for patients who have no appetite or cannot eat).
Stage 3 cancer = 1-2 boxes YK2/day. Take for 3-4 months, many a times the cancer cells will disappear.
Stage 2 cancer = 1 box YK2 or 10 capsules YK2 + 10 capsules YK1 (budget constraint).

A suggested ratio is 1 YK2 to match with 1 sachet YK Pollen.

(c) Reduce Side Effects of Chemo

Experienced doctors will examine a patient to check if they are strong enough to undergo chemo. Patients feel very low in energy after chemo. There are many things they cannot eat.

Chemo patients and those who are exposed to a lot of radiation (e.g. using handphones excessively) should take more YK Pollen, as it has anti-radiation properties. A lot of cancer are caused by radiation, which creates free radicals in the body, which attack the stability of our body cells and cause massive cells death. YK Pollen can protect the cells from the attacks of free radicals.


2. Nervous System
- migraine, epilepsy, sleep disorder, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer

Such diseases are closely related to the brain. Our cells are in one of these 4 stages - healthy, dead, sick and ageing. Our body has a mechanism called Apoptosis. If this apoptosis process is working well, it has the ability to eliminate the cancerous, abnormal cells and regenerate new good cells. If we abuse our body through unhealthy lifestyle, sleeping late and having a lot of stress, this apoptosis mechanism will malfunction and kill its own good cells, including brain cells.

As the brain controls the nervous system, when we lose a lot of brain cells, we also start to lose control of our bodily functions. Some problems include memory loss, stiffness of joints, loss of speech and movement, endometriosis (the body does not eliminate the abnormal cells growing outside the uterus wall when apoptosis mechanism malfunctions) and PCOS.

How Lingzhi works

Lingzhi can maintain the balance and homeostasis of the apoptosis. Lingzhi can prevent the occurrence of diseases.

(a) Lingzhi has calming and relaxing effect on nervous system
When the body is in a calm and relaxed state, the apoptosis function would be more normal.

(b) Improve the condition of Alzheimer disease
There's no drug to treat this disease at the moment. They can only relieve the symptoms.

3. Circulatory System
- HBP, LBP, stroke, cardiac infarction (heart attack), arteriosclerosis (thickening and hardening of walls of artery)

Lingzhi has the ability to clear blockages, as well as regulate HBP and LBP. Some people found that 2 capsules Lingzhi + CEO Coffee work wonderfully on these circulatory problems.

Circulatory problems can also be caused by auto-immunity problem. The malfunctioning macrophage immune cells can trigger the over-growth of endothelial cells, leading to blockages of arteries.

This article talks about how Lingzhi helps reduce cerebral ischemic injury (CII), as extracted from page 11 of the presentation by Ms Yu-Chi Cheng in 2018. A study was published in 2014 in the online Journal of Ethnopharmacology by Zhou, et al.. In the study, Ganoderma lucidum is shown to reduce the impact of ischemic brain damage by reducing brain cell apoptosis and reducing inflammatory response.

An inflammatory response occurs when tissues are injured by bacteria, trauma, toxins, heat, or any other cause. The damaged cells release chemicals including histamine and prostaglandins. These chemicals cause blood vessels to leak fluid into the tissues, causing swelling.

The conclusion of the study states, "Our findings indicate that Ganoderma Lucidum Polysaccharides protects against cerebral ischemic injury by inhibiting apoptosis by downregulating caspase-3 activation and modulating Bcl-2 / Bax ratio."

Let's seek to understand what this finding means:

1. Cerebral ischemic injury causes a condition of insufficient blood flow to the brain. When the brain doesn't have sufficient blood, brain cells will die due to lack of oxygen. Massive death of brain cells can cause stroke.

2. Apoptosis is the death of cells which occurs as a normal and controlled part of an organism's growth or development. In other words, apoptosis is a form of cell death in which a programmed sequence of events leads to the elimination of cells without releasing harmful substances into the surrounding area. Apoptosis plays a crucial role in developing and maintaining the health of the body by eliminating old cells, unnecessary cells, and unhealthy cells.

Testimony: Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke

Mr E's friend started to take Lingzhi in Feb 2016, consuming only 2 capsules Jia Hor Lingzhi a day. She wasn't consistent with her consumption.
She attended many meetings to learn more about health and products. She started to take high dosage since April 2016, taking 20 Lingzhi + 5 sachets Yung Kien Pollen + 2 Vitaking + 2 Lactoberry + 2 Jia Hor Soya Protein, twice a day.
On 12 April 2016, she had a stroke, was admitted to the hospital and had 3 angioplasty done. She continued with the same dosage until her first checkup in July 2016. The doctor reduced her medication from 7 types to 5 types and her glucose level reduced from 9.7 to 8.8.
After attending Dr Chen's talk, she continued with the same dosage of 20 Lingzhi + 5 sachets Yung Kien Pollen + 2 Vitaking + 2 Lactoberry + 2 Jia Hor Soya Protein until the 2nd checkup on 19 Sept 2016. The doctor further reduced her medication from 5 types to 4 types. Her high blood pressure pills dosage reduced from 90 mg to 75 mg. Her blood thinning pills reduced by 20mg.
She continued with the same dosage until the next checkup on 15 November 2016.
Testimony: Heart Attack

Mr E said 6 years ago his mother suffered from a heart attack.
3 of the main arteries in her heart had blockages of 65%, 50% and 50%. She went for a triple bypass operation. During the recovery period, the scar healed quickly and very well because she consumed Vitaking, so much so that from afar, the scar cannot be detected.
Following that, for 8 months, everyday she consumed 8 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 16 capsules Yung Kien Pollen + 2 Vitaking + 4 Jia Hor Soya Protein + 2 Jia Hor Fiber + CEO Cafe Coffee + Luchun Lingzhi Tea. Lactoberry was not launched at that time.
He is very grateful to know about Shuang Hor products because over the 6 years of consumption, her health has recovered significantly.
In the past, her mother used to consume 12 tablets of medication from IJN (Institut Jantung Negara), under the advice of Dr Akmal. Now she only consumes 3-5 tablets of medication.
After 4 years of taking Shuang Hor products, Dr Akmal advised his mother to undergo renal hypertension therapy whereby a tube (with diameter smaller than a straw) will be inserted through an artery in her thigh towards her kidney, and a little electric current will be used to "kill" certain arteries of her kidney so that water cannot come out through the kidneys, because that is causing her water retention problem. This is actually the side effects of many years of taking medication.
However, till to-date, she never did undergo renal hypertension therapy. Because at the time doctor advised her to do the therapy, she consumed 4 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma2 + 16-24 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + Vitaking + Fiber etc.
Vertigo reaction: More bowel movements, feelings of fatigue.
Now she has reduced her dosage to maintenance dose of 3-5 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma per day.

Testimony: Stroke

Mr N said that a 75 year old man had a stroke and was admitted into the HDU ward of Assunta Hospital for 3 days on 12 June. He started taking Lingzhi on his second day there. His blood pressure shot up to 290 mmHg. Mr N was worried that his blood vessels would burst and he would go into coma. Hence he advised the man to consume as many Lingzhi as possible because such extremely high blood pressure level is not easily regulated with western drugs. He took up to 50 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma2 (YK2) on Day 1 and 40 YK2 on Day 2. By Day 3 he was back to the normal ward. He consume 20 YK2 a day. He was discharged by Day 6.
At home, he consumed 5 YK2 + 15 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 2 sachets Jia Hor Soya Protein + 2 sachets Yung Kien Pollen + 1 sachet Vitaking + 6 sachets Lactoberry.

After about 1.5 months, he could walk and go back to work. The family had arranged for a maid to take care of him and also a wheelchair but it was hardly used. He had good stamina.

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

Testimony: Stroke

A Myanmar lady's father, 73, suffered from stroke. It was a big blood clot. He cannot speak and was in a coma. He was fed only through tubes. He was advised to take 10 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma + 20 capsules Yung Kien Pollen + 2 sachets CEO Cafe Coffee (without sugar) + Lactoberry a day. The 2 sachets coffee are divided 4-5 times throughout the day and each time when it is brewed, 2-3 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma are added in. After waiting till the coffee cooled down, he was spoon-feed.

After about 1 week, her father regained consciousness. He still cannot talk but he can move and feels stronger.
Vertigo reaction: start to pass out solid stools. Under TCM theory, the Heart and Small Intestines are "linked" along the same meridian point. The stools were previously watery because the small intestines cannot absorb food and there's also a lot of bad bacteria in the large intestines.  At the same time, the heart has no strength and thus, he has difficulty talking. After taking Lingzhi, the stools start to become solid when his absorption is better, the colon has more good bacteria and the heart starts to get supply of energy. The strength returns and he will regain his speech.

Testimony: Stroke and a 76-Year Old Man

Ms PH's father, 76, suddenly collapsed on Friday night. The sides of his lips turned black, his forehead turned darker in colour, his body was weak, he was half conscious and half-paralysed, he couldn't talk and his tongue couldn't move. He had been complaining of water retention problem a few days ago. Ms PH's cousin who is a qualified acupuncturist went to the house to give him treatment. His blood pressure was 178 mm/Hg. After feeding him 1 bottle Yung Kien Ganoderma and the acupuncture, his condition was quite stable.

Nevertheless, the family decided to send him to SJMC on Saturday. He was admitted to the ICU. He was fed with 1 bottle Yung Kien Ganoderma throughout the day on Saturday, by opening the capsules and dissolving the powder with some water before feeding him. This was done without the doctor's knowledge. By the end of the day, his blood pressure was down to 166/75 mm/Hg.

On Sunday, he was moved out to normal ward. He was also fed with 1 bottle Yung Kien Ganoderma throughout the day without the doctor's permission. His pressure fell further to 123/73 mm/Hg. He could talk already. He was discharged on Monday. He is now on maintenance dose of 8 capsules Yung Kien Ganoderma a day, together with other Shuang Hor products. He can walk and bathe himself, However, his memory is not so good.

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.

Is there a Safe, Simple and yet Effective solution to Prevent Stroke?

• The Effects of Ganoderma (Lingzhi) on High Blood Pressure and High Cholesterol
• The Effects of Ganoderma (Lingzhi) on Diabetes

Hey guys, do you constantly feel fatigued? Do you suffer from shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, poor memory, lack of stamina or infections that are too slow to heal? You may be suffering from poor blood circulation.

What cause poor blood circulation?
Working long hours, constant pressure and stress, lack of exercise..

This condition was previously seen in mainly middle-aged men, and those with hypertension, diabetes or arteriosclerosis. It is now increasingly seen in otherwise healthy younger men.

Symptoms of poor blood circulation

• Erectile dysfunction
• Frequent urination
• Cold limbs
• Lower back pain, chest pain, numbness and weakness in arms and legs, pain or cramping in leg and hip
• Impaired or slurred speech

Heard of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)? It's a blood clot that forms in the veins of your leg due to prolonged inactivity during long airplane flights. It becomes life-threatening when that clot breaks off (embolism) and travels to your lungs or heart.

It is normal and necessary for our blood to clot. However, it is not normal when blood clots (thrombi) form within our large veins. This is called venous thromboembolism (VTE), and can be dangerous. It's estimated to be the 3rd most common cardiovascular disease after heart disease and stroke.

Risk Factors of Developing Thrombosis

• Had a major operation recently
• Wearing a plaster cast for a broken or fractured leg
• Have cancer and undergoing treatment
• Stroke or paralysis
• Immobility, prolonged periods of sleeping, sitting or standing.
• Increasing age
• Pregnant and have a history of thrombosis
• Certain oral contraceptives
• Obesity
• Long journeys. The extended period of sitting still is exacerbated by the lower pressure in the plane's cabin, and consuming excessive alcohol and caffeine, which can cause dehydration, making the blood thicker and making it move more slowly.
