From the point of view of TCM, can a person suffering from flu/cold take Lingzhi supplement?

Question: Some old folk say a person cannot take tonic when he is sick otherwise he will not recover.

Answers:
No. Because Ling Zhi is "yin" TCM. Cold or flu is different symptom. You can get Flu if some influenza virus get inside to your body. You get Cold if you are in extreme low temperature according to your body. So Cold is not a virial infection desease.
You can see if some area is epedimeic of flu, but cold doesn't.
LingZhi, is taken from Ganoderma (latin??, I forget) It for nourish YIN organ, like stomach, lung, kidney. It works only for nutrient supplement, not to cure.
