Nervous about Reishi
    #8052363 - 02/21/08 03:28 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Ok, this will most likely sound paranoid, but I'm kind of afraid to take Reishi supplements. I bought a few bottles of extract last year and have had them in my fridge. Only one was opened. When I began taking them, I would mix about 30 drops into a cup of tea, twice a day.

Within a week of starting to take them, I developed a terrible sore throat. I went to the hospital because of it and was diagnosed with strep. They gave me some antibiotics and sent me home. After about a week I was no better, and had to go back to the ER. They spent me to an ear/nose/throat doctor and he told me I was suffering from a peritonsillar abscess (apparently one of the most painful medical afflictions you can endure - lucky me). Again, I was put on heavy antibiotics and heavy pain killers. They also had to drain about 20 CC's of fluid out of the back of my throat.

I was fine for about a month, and I figured it was just bad timing. So, I started taking the extract again. Within a week, I started getting a sore throat, and it began turning into another abscess. Luckily the antibiotics they gave me this time kicked in and kept it from developing into anything worse.

Now, I still have this extract and I really want to use it, but two cooincidences seem kind of... odd... you know?

Has anyone ever run into issues with reishi like allergies or anything else? Am I just being overly paranoid? Any advice at all would help :frown:

its very possible (especially if you got it off ebay) that they didn't know wth they were doing when they made the extract.

If I were you I would take them extracts, get them tested and then sue.

Also if your wanting to try reishi, just buy conks and then boil them the old fashioned way.

It actually was the Stamet's Myco Medicinal brand, not just a random extract :frown:

hmm well he should know what he's doing then.

30 drops kinda sounds like alot, was that the recommended number?

Id say maybe try 15 drops and see how you feel?

maybe even email stamet and tell him about this, maybe he knows if some people are allergic, or some other info?

Thats an idea I hadn't thought of. I'm seriously hoping it wasn't a reaction to the reishi though, considering I've got 2 lbs of powdered reishi sitting here that I was planning to use to make some of my own extracts (I originally bought them for my parents because they both have cancer, and numerous other health ailments).

It just seemed strange the timing that the tonsil problems only occurred when I was taking the extract. I'm thinking of slowly giving another try and moving on from there. If there is an allergy maybe I can build a tolerance?

The dosage on the bottle reccomended 15 to 30 drops 2x a day :undecided:
