Hi
Just reading about grape seed extract inviting Leukemia cells to commit suicide,and I was wondering if it would have any detrimental effect on my Glivec therapy(400mg). Has any body tried it, and does it work? And what sort of dose should you take?

Grape Seed Extract
Hi Tony, I see if you click in the News section on the left of the page you will find more information on grape seed extract. I think its very early days just yet for there to be real time results for this. I know there is a problem with Glivec etc and grapefruit but I eat normal amouth of grapes with no problems.
All the best,
Ali.
Hi all,
I have just had it confirmed today during my routine 3 monthly appointment with my consultant that my latest test results of 0.0000% mean I have achieved molecular remission after having "plateaud" at just over 0.3% for a few months. I guess the tricky bit now is to stay there but I also wondered what percentage of CML patients eventually reach molecular remission. I seem to recall reading the figure at some point but can't find where. I also wonder whether most people who do get there, remain at that level or is a relapse at some future point likely?
Thanks in anticipation (and feeling pretty smug today).
Regards,
Colin
