Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 I have a hyper-active immune (high numbers of natural killer cells) that attacks my fetus when im pregnant (I already miscarried 2x). They say reproductive hyper-active immune is almost the same as allergies, asthma and rheumatoid anthritis. Im undergoing western immunotheraphy treatments and will be taking heparin injections, steroid and alot more when im pregnant. Im HOPING CHINESE HERBS and Acupuncture can help BALANCE my immune system instead of Boosting it. But im too scared to take chinese herbs because the one recommended to me is lingzhi and cordyceps and when i do research on it, it says it boost immune system and i dont want that! Im experience eczema-like rashes on the ac points, the rashes are coin/circle shaped, dry and scaly and very itchy! and the actual needle points left a scar (even my 1st ac session was 2 months ago!) Is this also caused by a hyper-active immune? i felt that acupuncture is boosting my immune system instead of normalizing it. Is there well known chinese herbs i should avoid as not to boost my immune? are all fertility enhancing herbs mild enough and not trigger my immune? marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 actually those two herbs may be good for you, in reality they act more as immune modulators and have a bit of an antiflamitory effect. If they are based on sound chinese diagnosis then the herbs are safe. If they are being taken because someone read they are good for the immune system, then I would not take them.
