Taking Red Reishi Supplements

[briantucker]

red reishi supplements. I have 2 friends with cancer who have been helped by taking red reishi to boost their immune system. does anyone know if this would be a problem when taking pred. I am also recovering from covid but only very slowly as my lungs appear quite damaged still after 7 weeks and I struggle with breathing.

PMR is a condition where your immune system is overactive. You take pred to "unboost" or suppress the immune system so to speak. You should avoid things that are supposed to "boost" the immune system or why bother taking pred?

Just in case you should always discuss any supplement with your pharmacist.

Thanks, I suspected that was the case

It is becoming clear that the lung damage with CV is considerable - and I suspect that what you need above all is R&R. But things to "boost" the immune system are a bit of a two edged sword if you have a disorder than deranges your immune system and more so if you are on medication to suppress its action.
