Which Fangji caused KI failure?

Sorry, Steve; you have access to the same abstract as I have. It does not answer

your

question.

 

However, this was a huge survey (>200,000 people) in Taiwan and the data showed

a clear

statistical increase in risk of KI failure as Fangji cumulative amount exceeded

60g.

 

My understanding is that, after the AA-related deaths confirmed in western

countries, ethical

importers have eliminated the worst of the AA-contaminated herbs and formulas.

 

Today in EU states, herbs like Fangji, Mutong, Xixin etc are certified as low to

negligible in

AA and should pose little risk of AA toxicity if bought from ethical importers.
