Difference between lemon and grapefruit in cleanse?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

A friend of mine has had heart surgery and has been told not to have

grapefruit. Is lemon as effective when doing a liver cleanse?What is

the difference between the citrus juices when cleansing? Are lime and

orange also effective?

Grapefruit, to my knwoledge, thins the blood. If your friend had heart

surgery, then he's probably already on blood thinners and sundry, and further

thinning of the blood could cause a problem. I'm sure there could be other

reasons

too why he should avoid grapefruit. But this is the first reason that occcurs

to me.

I think your friend who had heart surgery was taking drugs where

grapefruit is contraindicated-hypertensive drugs and grapefruit don't

mix.
