hi was wondering if anyone has ever done this it keeps popping up on my phone that it reduces inflammation and detox his liver. I’m not sure if we can do this being on pegasys just interested if anyone has done this

Personally I tend to steer clear of anything medical that pops up as an advert on my phone. If you are keen to try it, the best thing would be to discuss it with your haematologist. Remember, if something is powerful enough to help us, it could also harm us.

I did try castor oil packs, maybe five or seven years ago a couple of times on the recommendation of my acupuncturist, although I can’t recall what she wanted me to use them for.

if you are interested in trying them, I would recommend that you do more research and also please do check with your MPN specialist or hematologist just to make sure that they are not contraindicated.

good luck, and if you do try them, please let us know how it goes and what your results are.
