I think that this was brought up in our discussions earlier by Marti about not

using any grapefruit products/foods as the " scare " of it " interfering " with the

metabolism of medications (and other toxins).

 

Well, I just read an article in Alternative Medicine magazine that compares this

story to the vitamin K story: people were told to stop using these substances as

they were bad for you if you were on certain medications, when the truth is you

need these substances (with all of their potential benefits), so the proper

" diagnosis " is to adjust your medication to a lower dosage w/o changing

(especially increasing, but not decreasing either) your intake of the

vitamin/flav- anoid, which potentially gives you the synergistically enhanced

advantage of using both products, and having less side effects from lower doses

of medications. This is a summarized conclusion that makes total sense to me,

but should be discussed with your Dr..

 

In Health,

Steve

<www.alternativemedicine.com> and they used to give you a discount for ordering

their books, or subscribing on line; I guess they still do!?
