<p><br/> The issue of herb-drug interactions looms large over the practice of herbal medicine. Up to now there have been very few incidents recorded of herb-drug interactions, but since the first such reports emerged a decade ago, a concern has been raised: that we know so little about herbs and their potential for interaction with drugs that these incidents could be just the "tip of the iceberg."</p>
<p>Virtually all medical writers who review the literature acknowledge the small number of reports, but conclude that the issue of herb-drug interactions is a serious one that must be pursued. In a few instances, the interactions may have been responsible for severe consequences.</p>
<p><br/> As described in a previous article (The interactions of herbs and drugs, 2000 START Manuscripts), the nature of herb-drug interactions is not a chemical interaction between a drug and an herb component to produce something toxic. Instead, the interaction may involve having an herb component cause either an increase or decrease in the amount of drug in the blood stream.</p>
<p>A decrease in the amount of drug could occur by herb components binding up the drug and preventing it from getting into the blood stream from the gastrointestinal tract, or by stimulating the production and activity of enzymes that degrade the drug and prepare it for elimination from the body.</p>
<p>An increase in the drug dosage could occur when an herb component aids absorption of the drug, or inhibits the enzymes that break down the drug and prepare it for elimination.</p>
<p>A decrease in drug dosage by virtue of an interaction could make the drug ineffective; an increase in drug dosage could make it reach levels that produce side effects.</p>
<p>Alternatively, an herb might produce an effect that is contrary to the effect desired for the drug, thereby reducing the drug effect; or, an herb might produce the same kind of effect as the drug and give an increase in the drug effect (without increasing the amount of the drug).</p>
<p><br/> Examples of concerns about herb-drug interactions that have been raised are that an herb might:<br/> • increase or decrease the effect of a blood thinner such as Warfarin and lead to either a bleeding episode or formation of a dangerous clot; <br/> • decrease the effect of a blood pressure medication, leading to high blood pressure and a stroke; <br/> • decrease the effect of an anti-infection agent, letting the infection get out of control; or <br/> • increase the effect of an anti-diabetes drug and plunge blood sugar to dangerously low levels.</p> I always use www.drugs.com/dr…tag:templeilluminatus.ning.com,2016-02-10:6363372:Comment:31119272016-02-10T01:50:11.448ZMystic Wolfhttps://templeilluminatus.ning.com/profile/DonPerndergast

<p>Do any of you look for symbolism in such stuff??? Interpreting symptoms and cures as soul guides??? Jung and Von Fronz saw the alchemists as psychologists, chemistry as a system of soul analysis, before it split into science. Turning materials into GOLD, turning water into wine so to speak. Mining the soul's gold???</p>
