In addition to general detox, any drugs your are taking that are eliminated by the liver (most are) will become highly elevated in blood levels over that period of time because it is not being removed. Consequently, I have decided to not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice at all. I suspect that pomegranate juice would hide the flavor well and there have been quite a few studies lately on it very significant benefits. If you choose this route, read the ingredients list well because some " whole fruit " pomegranate juices are mostly apple juice or other adulterations. -- Steve - dudescholar4@...

I just got back from a cruse sponsored by the Life Extension Foundation and they had some good presentations. One was on interactions and grapefruit juice was discussed in some detail. While I was aware of grapefruit juice interfering with drugs metabolized by the liver, the news to me was that it affected the liver for so long, 72 hours. I had thought that I could put several hours between drug consumption and grapefruit juice consumption and be ok. Apparently not. I have a printed copy of the slides and I can provide some information from them if you want. As to a particular problem with absorbing and utilizing iodine when taken with grapefruit juice, I cannot say one way or the other at this point. -- Steve - dudescholar4@...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Which one do you order , i found it a bit confusing but I ordered 1 @ $19.95 and 2 @ $15.95 . I found it weird that it was a limit of one on the $19,95 . I like the herbs selection too , I would ahve ordered soem if I had looked at that before I confirmed the sale .

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I canceled my order from J crows. I found J Crows 2% at SwansonsHealth Products for $5.00 cheaper and cheaper shipping as well . They don't offer the 5% solution but I figure some is better then none maybe just take a larger dose. I have been apprehensive because of the person who said they got so sick and haven't recovered yet from taking it , I don't know if that just a fluke or what .

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Good deal!! I will remember that. maybe I was the one you are thinking of tho others I believe had problems as well. I used 1 drop of the 5% for two mornings then crashed. Fatigue like you wouldn't believe and felt like CRAP! Took all day to get better. Now I am not sure if it was the Iodine or just me, as I have lyme and I can't tell for 100% certainly what happened. I hadn't felt that bad in months. It may have affected my adrenals somehow as they are pretty wimpy. I'll try again but not for awhile and at half the dose too. /MI I canceled my order from J crows.
