From: Tebay, Wendy M on Fri, Aug 15, 1997 12:33 PM Subject: Grapefruit juice To: PD Listserv Postings This is just a comment in relation to a recent posting about drinking grapefruit juice with pd meds. I just read an article, written by Joe Pizzorno (naturopath and president (I think) of Bastyr College in Washington state). In it he stated that grapefruit juice actually inhibits the functioning of the p450 liver enzyme, which is the same one possibly implicated in pd. Is anyone else familiar with this? It's funny, but the naturopath I'm seeing also has me avoiding citrus, altho' I believe for different reasons. Wendy Tebay
