You are intrigued by the human body?
Does it fascinate you and you would like to know a little more about the functioning of your body?
You are in the right place!
Here you will find anecdotes, fun facts and advice based on my experience in medicine (Since I am in my 4th year of medicine studies)
Starting off, my name is Deborah, I am a belgian medicine student. And I'm going to try to make you discover things that few doctors will tell you.
Let's start with our first discovery right now !
Did you know that drinking pamplemousse juice at the same time as your medications will cancel out the effects.
This phenomen takes place because pamplemousse juice contains particules that blocks the absorption channels of your cells. On top of that the pamplemousse particules can accentuate the side effects of the drug and even worse : it might worsen the disease which in some cases can lead to death!
So be careful if you have to take drugs, do not drink grapefruit juice for the duration of your treatment.
FYI these are observed with many types of drugs, anti-depressants, anti-infectives, anti-cancer drugs, cardiovascular drugs or gastrointestinal system, etc.
I hope it was interesting and you learned something today
