Indeed my point exactly Olive oil is good for you and has been reported to be synergetic with Herceptin..so far from me wanting to tell you not to have it!! However if you only considered one aspect of the oil for example the omega balance then you could scare people off taking it.
I simply wanted to make the point that if you only looked at one poorly described aspect of the effect of Reishi i.e. IL6 then you could be forgetting to look at the overwhelming beneficial aspect reported.
Sorry R.B but I was worried that your initial response which only focus on increased IL6 may be misleading and scare people off a reportedly great supplement. However I know that it was not really what you intended and perhaps I should have presented more evidence from the outset.
