"My life has hung by a
thread since the time I was born. I frequently had fevers above
40°C
as a child, and I was so sick that I didn't even learn to walk until
I was five years old. I experienced dizziness and abdominal swelling
as I reached adolescence, and I felt extreme discomfort throughout
my body after I started menstruating. Although I consulted many
doctors, none knew what was wrong with me. It wasn't until I was 25
that I was diagnosed as having 'thalassemia.' From that time on I
had to get a blood transfusion at a hospital every month, and this
continued until I discovered Lingzhi and started improving in 1992.
After taking increasing doses of Lingzhi for three months, I began
gradually experiencing increased frequency of urination, greater
dizziness, and occasional vomiting. Since I knew that these
reactions were a sign that I was improving, I continued to take
Lingzhi. I felt gradual improvement after another one or two weeks,
and my body started taking a turn for the better. I get a checkup
once a year nowadays, and everything has been normal. I no longer
need to get a transfusion once a month."
