Re: hope for those with brain mets
One thing I didnt mention. There are a lot of possible drug interactions between Herbs and medicines. Im sure you have heard of Ginko Biloba. It turns out that this herb activates the enzyme (enzyme induction) Cyp2C19 and can lead to subtherapeutic levels of phenobarbital
and I think Valproate, two anti-siezure drugs. There were reports of nursing home patients with seizures well controlled by anti-convulsant drugs who developed siezures after many years of seizure control within 14 days after starting Ginko for dementia symptoms. Their phenobarbital levels were subtherapeutic due to the enzyme induction due to the Ginko. Im curious what drugs fi any interact with Milk thistle
