RE: Herb and drug interactions

[Guest guest]

Sorry guys...

You are right.. I should have added the disclaimer that the atkins

suggestions for carnitine is for " normies " .. not necessarily for bypass

patients.

and ALWAYS ALWAYS consult a professional before taking anything like that.

I just came across the info and wanted to share.

Hi Amber..

Thank you... I knew that wasnt necessarily directed at me but it did

remind me that I should have put in my usual " disclaimer " . I run several

support groups myself and am very aware of qualifying what I post especially if

it

is an article that wasn't specifically meant for bypass patients.

I need to be reminded about things like this too. Being 17months out I

sometimes forget the details like discontinuing all herbals and supplements

before surgery. I will pass that along to my groups as well.

, the article on herb and drug interactions was not directed at you

or the article you shared - it was VERY interesting. I moderate 3

support groups and sent it to them and thought it would be a good

reminder for us all. It is so important to discontinue all herbals and

supplements (not protein though) at least 14 days before any surgery -

many of them contribute to excess bleeding etc.
