Cherona29 asked:


I have to go for surgery to remove a breast lump (not known what it is yet) I noticed in my surgery package it says to stop taking all medications including herbal supplements 2 weeks before. Do I really have to stop taking my whole food supplement?

    The effect of grapefruit juice would trigger chemical reaction with it researchers suggest that is natural is natural however there is claimed to be all natural however there is good chance that even drinking glass of the medicine may negate or weaken the herbal medicine so whats wrong with it is natural is natural is natural.

    Call your doctor and ask him/her. List every supplement you take, including vitamins and why you take them, and ask if it’s safe to take those. If the doctor says you shouldn’t take them, DON’T take them.

    AFAIK, no study has conclusively shown how herbs interact with other herbs or even how they interact with conventional medicine. Some herbs can interfere with clotting or interfere with medicines they give you during surgery.

    And I hope it’s nothing serious.
