Not RLS - but question about possible anemia cause

[Guest guest]

Hi group:

A neighbor told my husband that his problem is that he makes too many red

blood cells. His doc said he'd heard that grapefruit helps cut down the

production of rbc. We gave him several bags full because we have heavily

laden citrus trees in our yard. Last Oct. my husband's rbc was normal. We

started eating our grapefruit (usually a whole one per person per day) in

late November. In Dec and Jan we continued eating the fruit but also had

great stress (remodeliing of house) and in early Feb. my hubby ends up in

hospital with severe anemia and was given 4 units of blood. None of the

several docs could find any reason for the anemia...everything checked out

fine.

My question: Has anyone in this group heard about grapefruit juice cutting

production of red blood cells? Could the consumption of a lot of it cause

anemia? Where can I go on the Internet to find such information? I

checked a couple of medical places, but I don't have the " computer smarts "

to know how find specifically what I want to know.

Thanks for any info.
