Tweet

I have made a blog about this before but that website was gone so my blog can't be found anymore. So I would like to share this story again to let people be aware of the bad effects of this Zhen De Shou Slimming Pills. Year 2009 when my sister passed away. She started taking that pill a year ago. She took it for 2 months and I noticed the drastic change. She lost weight. But then there were times that when we talk to her, she couldn't answer properly. She would sometimes answer "I don't know" when the question was very simple. She was spaced out, not herself, like her mind was miles away. I asked her what she took, she told me about that pills so I took it too out of curiosity. I only took it for 3 days as I became very depressed. I couldn't sleep. 4am I was still up crying. My mouth was very dry. I was always thirsty. I did lost weight because I lost my appetite, but I stopped coz I realized that pill was no good so I told my sister to stop taking it and she did stopped. July 2009, we had to rush my sister to the hospital because she kept on vomitting. She was confined on a Monday. The doctor asked her what she took because they found out that her liver was badly damaged already. My sister admitted that she took that pill for 2 days again. Wednesday came, she was transferred to Intensive Care Unit. They put tube on her nose. I was alone with my sister and the doctor told me that my sister might not make it. When I heard that, tears just begun to fall. I did not understand why just for 2 days taking it, it damaged her liver. Doctor said because she had took the pills the previous year, and when she took it again, it might have triggered it. The only way for her to survive is to have liver transplant and our family had discussed about it and I was willing to give my liver for her, but we would have to wait for her condition to stabilize first. Thursday came, we were able to talk to my sister. She was a bit better. When I thought about it, I guess this was just her saying goodbye to us. That night, doctor told my mom that she had to have catheter, another tube down there as her organs not functioning. My mom didn't want to but the doctor said, "If you didn't want to, she will die." With a heavy heart, my mom agreed. It was so painful to see my sister that way as she was only 25 years old and she had tubes on her. Friday came, she was in a coma. She had blood coming out her mouth, as in lots. 2 big bottles of blood. My mom could not take it so she had to go out the room. Saturday came, her blood pressure gone. She only had heartbeat because of the machine. No blood pressure. My mom and dad went home as they organized something because doctor told them that she will passed away after lunch. I was left with my brother. Nurse asked as if we wanted to stop all her medications and the machine that was helping her . I said yes but my brother didn't want to. We argued there. I said "Do you want to see her suffer? 3 doctors already said there is nothing we can do." So I had to call my sister, and my sister called my mom. They both agreed to stop. I have to sign the waiver and this was the hardest thing I ever have to do. My hand was shaking while I was signing it. After few minutes, my sister came. Her heartbeat went to 0 and then went up again. We were all crying. It went 0 twice. At this stage, we knew she was just waiting for my mom and dad. So my sister said, "If you wanted to go, it's okay, we will take care of mom and dad." After she said that, my sister's heartbeat just went --------- 0. She was gone. Gone too soon. I miss her terribly.
