优盾草的保存方法
优盾草存放在雪柜之前不可洗，才不容易烂。先用厨房纸巾包好，再裝入箔片袋内，可以存放几天。
优盾草的饮用方法
要搅汁时才清洗，优盾草加一个苹果和冷开水1/4杯、冰块几粒一起搅，搅好后连榨喝，最好在十分钟內喝完，其活性元素才不会流失，才可保留完整的药效，这是非常重要的一点！一般上是用青苹果和优盾草一起搅，如果胃不好就用红苹果。苹果要去皮，担心有浓药; 搅拌苹果时不必去核去籽, 因为苹果的核和种子里含有植物生化素，可以帮助开启人体的免疫和自愈系统以自行修复人体功能。不过，苹果籽有小毒，所以切记不可大量食用。
如果水份放太多，泡沫就越多，比较难喝。优盾草搅得越细，吸收就越好。加冰块是为了避免搅伴时，优盾草发热而变质。
优盾草採下来马上食用效果最好，採下后十小时之内是算新鲜，放在雪柜越久药效递减。体质寒凉者可加入几片生姜。
癌..症病患者优盾草叶子的用量
第一期: 每天50叶(10克)
第二期: 每天100叶(20克)
第三期: 每天150叶(30克)(如果是150叶,可分两次食用，早上和下午)
第四期: 每天300叶(60克)(如果是300叶,可分几次食用)*
*对于病情比较严重的末期癌症病患，在紧急情况下可用500片(100克)优盾草，不加苹果直接加冰水与冰块榨汁，过滤后弃渣只取汁, 放入冰箱內冷藏或保存于保冷瓶內, 在一天内慢慢喝完。如此方法连续服用三至四天即可看到效果。
药量会直接影响疗效，要服用(按照以上)足夠的叶子才会有疗效。
病况好转，可逐渐减少。
优盾草要吃多久才会见效?
至少连续吃上两个星期。
服用优盾草时的禁忌
服用优盾草，切记不可同时服用补品，中药，打针鸡、鸭，牛油，芋头、糯米、刺壳蟹、甘望鱼、魔鬼鱼、油炸食品、榴莲。山芭走路鸡可以吃。
接受化疗时可以服用优盾草吗?
化疗期前后，可照常服用优盾草。
优盾草和中药可以每隔一天交替吃吗？
这样的方式吃没有效果。建议在吃完中药疗程后隔至少一天后再服用优盾草；吃优盾草后〔至少连续吃上两个星期〕同样隔至少一天后再开始服用中药。
