Re: [Everything doTERRA] Question about Grapefruit oil

i am on Verapamil XR and YES it did mess with my meds. i have been able to occasionally do drops under my tongue but i can not take it in water at all. the problem with grapefruit and bp meds is that something in grapefruit causes some gland to not secret an enzyme that breaks down meds in the stomach, so instead your body absorbs more of the medicine than it should absorb and if you take more than one a day then you can possible OD on the meds. 

i was doing 5-8 drops of s&s daily in water. and my side effects of the medicine kept getting worse and worse and worse until i figured out the grapefruit thing and stopped and with in 36 hours all my side effects were gone.

I have someone who is on high blood pressure meds and meds for diabetes. She is going to start the protocol for blood sugar but is concerned about grapefruit messing with her high blood meds. Is anyone out there who is on meds and also takes slim and sassy or just grapefruit oil in a protocol?
