Hi Lisa,

That looks far more manageable.

When I did my research I didn't pick up that about Red Reishi, other than the usual warnings they give for most herbs ' safe for 'a' period of time'. I was on RR daily for many months and saw zero side effects, but that's not to say others wouldn't. Interesting as I have been thinking about adding RR to help my green tea kill off my DHT.

Good luck with your ne regime

Thanks

I've had a month off everything bar milk thistle and HRT and I've had no re-occurrence of that awful pain.
As always when you take a lot of things it's trying to work out what was causing the issue, further research suggested that GTE = bad for the liver in a significant way, RR less so, and a suggested 4 on 2 off regime. I can't abandon everything because (RR particularly) I need for the AA effects as I'm not on a pharmaceutical blocker and given how speedy the NHS is, it could be another few years before I would be.

I had hoped I was going to be ok as I'd been on the full range of everything for almost a whole year non-stop and had been feeling great right up until the end of January, probably effects are cumulative or even possibly it was something unrelated and merely a coincidence, but as I only have one liver and life I need to be sensible about how I treat it.

Age too might be a factor, I'm no longer as young as I was, and will be 60 at the end of the year.
