Tki's And herbal medicine

Hi all,

A friend suggested kaloba for my chesty cough. Can't seem to find any info online about interaction with Imatanib.

Generally , does anyone know of a reference on tki's and herbal meds? ( In know st john wort is to be avoided)

Thx

Hi Eva,

There are a lot of people suffering this at the moment - at least in the UK. I work in the retail environment so I am exposed daily to the flu virus etc. However, this year I have escaped all infections so far and I put this down to my assiduous daily regime of high dose Vit C. Although there is some individuality in dosing, I seem to need at least 10 grammes (yes) every day. I use powder form and take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon in every glass of water that I take throughout the day (usually around 5-8 8ounce glass per day). I love the taste of ascorbate in water but you may find it's more palatable in apple juice or whatever fruit juice you prefer.

If you want to learn more about ascorbate and why we need lots of it then I recommend this book: Ascorbate: The Science of Vitamin C by Dr. Steve Hickey & Dr. Hilary Roberts (Author). Inspiring reading.
