Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Marcia... Have you heard of both species of Ganoderma being safe to use in CML (chronic myeloid leukemia) alongside conventional treatments? Does it interfere with the pharmaceutical treatments at all? Do you use/prefer as tincture, infusion, or capsules? Many thanks... a very timely email topic for me...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Thanks . I did put some carduus in her mix especially for the liver, which I htought may be involved in the itching. She is already taking acidophilus, so this should help her gut flora. j-Christophe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
