Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Was wanting to know if it would be alright to give Carl cayenne while he is on other medications for blood pressure and his heart. He is still in hospital cause his blood pressure is still high they don't understand that they are causing it and he just wants to be home with us. Trying to get him transferred back closer to home and was going to sneak him some cayenne and green smoothies. Just wanted to make sure it was safe to take cayenne while on the doctors medications. Thanks Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 do you know what meds he is on? Ask the drs or have Carl ask if he can eat hot peppers? This way you'll know if it's okay... I would think so.. cayenne and garlic are food, but not knowing what he is on ..... if you know I'll look it up. SuziPS Raw garlic cloves for the BP...like 8 or so a day.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Thanks Suzi They have released him now I've got no way to get him home. They took him up there and now they won't bring him back. Will find out about meds when I get him home and let you know. Should have a list of do's and don'ts anyway.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 > > PS Raw garlic cloves for the BP...like 8 or so a day. > Hey Suzi Thats why his blood pressure is up because he hasn't had any garlic, he usually has 2 - 3 cloves daily. Wonder if the hospital will let me give him garlic (they transferring him near home now to get meds right). They've got no idea about nutrition to help thats for sure.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Suzi could probably answer this one best. But I have a question. What meds is he on?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Tracey, I pray all goes well with Carl along with you and your family. I imagine what a tough time you all must be going through. You have my thoughts and prayers. If Carl is in a hospital and has high blood pressure, I am sure they are giving him meds to lower it in which case you would need to watch what you give him so that it does not get too low as too low can be just as dangerous as too high. My Papa went through this whilst in the hospital. He has always had perfect blood pressure and all the meds they were giving him got it too low that he had to be in ICU. Keep us posted and all the best to you and your family hugs and blessings, Tone Pa says " When the Men in white coats come, don't think it's Good Humor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 > > tell them he loves garlic and cayenne peppers... Good one Suzi :-) I took him a bulb of garlic last night and a small knife. Also took him couple bananas and plums. Will ask today about the cayenne as I want to take him a green smoothie and maybe a blended salad and some almonds. You would'nt believe what they gave a diabetic with high blood sugar that just had a heart attack when he arrived last night - corned beef sandwiches, roast beef and sliced cheese (on wholemeal - ha), orange juice in containers, peaches in container, yoghurt - its unbelievable how ignorant they are. Otherwise though he looks good it was great to see him has been the hardest 6 days I have ever had not being able to be with him.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 > > Suzi could probably answer this one best. But I have a question. What meds is he on? > Hi They have him on about 5 different tablets, heart tablets, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholestrol I don't know I think he will rattle if I shake him. Carl certainly ain't used to all that sort of stuff in his system. They gave him a list last night but the kids were getting restless and he was getting stressed and dizzy (blood pressure up) so I had to leave. Will see if I can copy the list down today sometime when we go in. Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi Tracey, If I remember correctly, someone (I think it's Suzi) has a link that shows reactions with standard meds and herbal remedies. I'll check to see if it is in the files. With all those meds, aren't "they" concerned about his liver? I know I would be. I gotta tell ya, I am impressed and encouraged by your care for him! He is truly blessed to have you. We all are.

We all are. Hi Thanks that really made me smile. I am just glad to have the man that I fell in love with almost 10 years ago back and so are the kids. The last few years he had become consumed so much by other things that he had almost forgotten about us with all the stress and pressure he put him under. Yes they are concerned about his liver now he home they want blood tests and he has to collect his urine for 24 hours one day early next week so they can check it. Carl has been raw for 1 day and I have been raw for 2 days now and feeling good. He has lost 11 lb last Saturday when he had the heart atatck and I have lost 9 lb Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put all Carl's meds including the aspirin in and the only reactions are: Aspirin with alcohol - not a problem Simvastation with grapefruit - not a problem Lisinopril with Aspirin mmmm Carvediol with Aspirin mmmm again Both blood pressure drugs with Aspirin - nothing major but interaction is poorly documented.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Tracey, I posted basically the same thing, just the whole page. Hopefully others will read it too and offer some advice. I added capsicum, the "hot/active" ingredient in cayenne. What other websites have you used?
