Is it safe to eat Grapefruit while taking certain medication?
Hi all. I absolutely love grapefruit but just looking some advice if grapefruit is safe to eat with certain medication as I've heard that it can work against them. I've been diagnosed with PBC & AIH and therefore have a mixture of tablets to take. My meds are Rifampicin, Prednisone, Omeprazole, Ursodeoxycholic

A theoretical way to make mannitol work better
The underlying problem with using mannitol as a therapy for Parkinson's disease is its poor absorption in the gut. Hence it produces gas and in some cases, diarrhea. If the absorption of mannitol can be increased than it may be taken at a lower dose and also decrease its associated side effects. Other

Anyone taking Rifampicin?
Hi everyone, I saw the specialist this afternoon, as an itcher not cured by cholestyramine I was prescribed Naltrexone which gave me some very unpleasant side effects. I now have a two month supply of Rifampicin which I understand is an anti biotic. I think anti biotics can destroy the good gut bacteria

The possible dangers of EGCG.
This posting is a followup raising issues about the combination of EGCG + Salmon oil + Vitamin C or quercetin/bromelain with levodopa as a substitute for Carbidopa/levodopa (EGCG....levodopa) or Entacapone + levodopa (quercetin + levodopa). The forth posting in the thread. https://healthunlocked.com

a-Syn misfolding blockers/repairers (updated)
This is an update of a previous post. The number of compounds that help in the test tube or mice is overwhelming. Unfortunately, there is not a standard test to determine which ones reach the human brain and work the best. It's not possible to take all of them. But the long list gives hope: there

rifampicin, another a-Syn buster
rifampicin is used in tuberculosis and leprosy. Doctors had noticed PD and other neurological conditions improving while patients were taking it. Epidemiological work confirmed 3x fewer cases of PD in those patients. 16 articles turn up in pubmed on it and parkinson's. Here are three full text articles
