Thanks! Granny, you are absolutely after my heart!
…Was even going to use the grapefruit example as well! The vitamin K thing is another one that fries my bacon. The very nutrients necessary for healing are what can’t be eaten or supplemented because…the drugs. Don’t get me going!
But.
If we know WHY, we can begin the path you took with you…

But.
If we know WHY, we can begin the path you took with your husband. Break the chain. We can help others to do the same.
We know that foods (incl bevs) have differing (and manifold) medical effects both in the body and by interacting (+/-) with, counteracting, or replacing the drugs.
That book I linked just now in the post above is so helpful with sorting through all that stuff & helped me so much w/ further web searches for more info.
I’m also glad that Functional (& Integrative) Medicine is on the rise. I see in future Hospitals and nursing homes dedicated to interdisciplinary healing. The proverbial limp in and leap out! Unfortunately, I’m also seeing the large Med systems (Providence, Kaise, for example) have their “in house” alternative Funct/Integ practicioners, but it’s largely eyewash. In name only. It’s still: drugs & surgery foremost always & we’ll let a poorly educated naturopath tack on on a good diet & exercise plan to coordinate with our prescription blood thinners, beta blockers, implants etc etc etc.
So great to know you’re doing it. God Bless you and your husband richly!
