Hi @athenalee I agree foods whether natural or not should always be researched for causing any harm to our health. Check with your physician first. It is your best bet before starting anything. Your physician is a good resource for confirming your knowledge. I was taught all medications are either metabolized in the kidneys or liver. With that being said, it allows for options in case the kidneys or liver are not well functioning to handle the metabolism of any medications otherwise no medications at all would be tolerable. Toni
