A lot are mentioned about the Chinese Medicine Lie Gong Teng for treatment of Psoriatic Arthritis. It works by suppressing the T-Cell in the blood that cause the inflammation. Any body tried that before? Any experience to share?

Hello, while I have RA I have done a spot of research on the anti-inflammatory actions of lei gong teng. My impression is that at the levels of ingestion necessary to reach and maintain those actions the preparation is extremely toxic.
[quote]However, lei gong teng is highly toxic and and large consumption could
be toxic to the liver. Toxic reactions include: dizziness, palpitation,
weakness, nausea, vomiting, stomach ache, diarrhea, pain in liver and
kidney areas, bleeding in the digestive tract, even respiration and
circulation exhaustion and death.
