[Pseudo-Cushing's] Michigan woman nearly dies after herbal supplement found to be laced with steroids
The "pills were loaded with Dexamethasone … [which] is a medication. It’s a synthetic steroid, very potent, very long acting, and if we take it for quite some time, we develop what is called Cushing Syndrome,” said Dr. Barkan.
Higgins was diagnosed with Cushing Syndrome, and Barkan says she could have died if she hadn’t sought help.
