Question: Hi, My name is XXXX and I have CML
.I have had surgery and cannot heal,
plus my immune system is so alow and I am so tired,
I have been looking for something to help me with this...
i have a friend that sells Young Living oils, and has introduced me
to some oils and
.she has given me a bottle of Ningxa......it is a juice that a person
is suppose to take an ounce or two everyday to help exactly what i am going
though. the ingredients are as follows:
Proprietary NigXia Red Blend, Whole Nigixia wolfbery, blueberry, plum, chery, aronia, pomegrate,
proprietary esential blend, grape, orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine...these are just about all
rind oil.
.I take 300mg of Tasigna (chemo pills) twice a day.........
...I am trying to find out if this will have any effect on my treatment....
..from what I can see, everything is just all natural...and cant imagine would be a problem
but i have to make sure.....
..I just cant have any hidden ingredients that I don't know of.....
....hope you can answer this for me.....thank you.

Brief Answer:
Avoid juice with grape.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
I can understand your concern.
When you are having Tasigna (nilotinib) you should avoid grape fruits, grape juice and extracts and Seville oranges. I have found grape and orange in your juice ingredients.
Grape fruit can interact with Tasigna and decrease you body response to medication and increase medication amount in your body. I suggest you do not drink juice which contains grape fruit , Seville orange.
Whenever you change your diet you should take advice from your treating doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
