Re: Whatcha thinking about now?
I bought a small single serve package of unsweetened pink grapefruit slices. It just looks so tasty. And I know full well I can't eat it because I take Lipitor.
I'm wondering if I can eat it for breakfast just once. I mean once won't kill me. Right?Satan is my spirit animal

The problem is that *too much* grapefruit prevents the liver from uptaking the drug. This means it's sitting in your bloodstream like a plane trying to land at a crowded airport. The problem with that is that it can do damage to your body if it's in too high of an amount for too long. The reason they say none at all is because "too much" is very individual--medication metabolism is a very individualized and poorly understood thing in medicine still.
And, TBH, studies on this are mixed. Some statins aren't as bad as others (lipitor is fairly consistent at having this effect).Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

Not the usual question of do in fact souls exist,but if you feel you believe you contain a "Spirit or soul" within you,how would you describe it? Not really how it appears,but its inner being. what is its function other than perhaps giving life to the flesh and blood body(perhaps animation) but what is its spiritual purpose? Is it "YOU",or is it another?

Originally posted by thalassa View PostIf I were going to indulge my pink grapefruit adulation and were taking Lipitor or other statins, I would cut the slices up and only eat as many as would equal one or two slices. The problem is eating allz the grapefruits in one sitting, or on one day. And I'd time it as far away from when I take my meds as possible and then wait at least a full day or two before having another piece.

Re: Whatcha thinking about now?
At my appointment Tuesday my Midwife told me my milk consumption could be part of the problem of my leg cramps. Too much calcium keeps the body from processing magnesium. So I cut way down on my milk and started taking magnesium. Since Tuesday I have had heartburn, acid reflux, and this morning a fever blister the size of a cherry.. but only had leg cramps once. I'll be going back to my milk consumption and dealing with leg cramps. The fever blister alone is enough to make me drink the milk."If you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black

Re: Whatcha thinking about now?
I'm babysitting my neighbors foster cat this weekend. I love cats, but I get along with dogs so much easier. Dogs are so straightforward and easy going. You can run up and hug them or pet them whenever and they're thrilled and happy right along with you.
With cats, you have to let them approach you and you can't be too enthusiastic otherwise they will run away. You have to be so much more gentle with cats; it's just funny because it's been awhile since I've been around one, so I have to keep reminding myself to stay aloof and let her approach me.

Re: Whatcha thinking about now?
Went to the farmers market yesterday and found lots of really good fruits and veggies and well as crafts and other wares, while walking down the street one stall inparticular caught my eye "fried pies" so of course I mosey on over. They are Amish fried pies and they only take cash well I paid my 2.75 and then proceeded to kick my own butt for not have enough money to buy 10 more of them.. I need more of those pies. They were fantastic."If you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black

He ignored the cat,and of course the cat after a bit decided to come and let my son pet it. You must allow the feline to decide,you can not force a cat,as in herding cats..
