Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 If any of you need surgery, you should probably stop taking herbal medications at least 2 - 3 weeks before surgery. A number of anesthesiologists have reported observing substantial changes in heart rate or blood pressure in some patients who were taking herbal medications, notably St. 's wort, gingko biloba and ginseng. It is sad when people use herbal products that they believe will provide a health benefit but, in fact, may jeopardize their lives during surgery. RAINBOWPED@...

Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 , My Dr. just recommended Ambrotose a glyconutritional dietary supplement to aid with the RLS and Fibromyalgia. (Not that they need any assistance, thank you very much!) Do you have any opinion on this supplement? Can it hurt? Can it help? Is it just hype? What do you think? Thanks for allowing your brain to be picked. Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 1999 Report Share Posted May 26, 1999 , Yep, it goes by the name of Ambrotose...Ever heard of that one? I hope so because I hate to put things into me (besides diet caffeine free Pepsi) that are loaded with things I don't know anything about! Thanks in advance.
