I HAVE JUST PURCHASED THE ULTIMATE HERBAL DETOX AND BEFORE STARTING I WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WHEN I SHOULD TAKE MY CURRENT MEDICATIONS WHICH I PRESENTLY TAKE IN THE MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST. MY MEDICATIONS ARE;- LOSEC 20MG, HYZAAR 1 DAILY, ASPIRIN 1 TWICE WEEKLY, PLENDIL 1 DAILY, CITALOPRAM HALF DAILY AND OMEGA 3 1000MG. I HAVE BEEN TAKING LOSEC FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND I WOULD DEARLY LOVE TO DISCONTINUE THIS AFTER MY DETOX REGIME. I DO NOT WISH TO DISCUSS THE DETOX WITH MY GP AS HE WILL LIKELY RUBBISH THIS, AS IS HIS USUAL REACTION TO ME WANTING TO TRY ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS.
Brett's Answer:
The best thing to do is take your medications at their normal times, but just take the herbs at least 1/2 hour away from them. This will ensure the herbs can do their job effectively without any interactions. Yes there is a good possibility that you may be able to reduce your meds by half during the program and if you follow a good diet afterwards (like the Herbal SLIM programme) that you could stop the digestive and blood thinning meds altogether. A lot of people go back to their Doctor after a couple of weeks on completion of the programme and find all their test have changed dramatically. Then you can tell the Doctor what you are doing, Good luck :-)
