Re: Need help from the board chemists re: Lyrica "detox"?

I have heard rumors that St.Johns Wort is the best medication-detoxer. (the herb is almost impossible to get over here, as it influences medications; read; reduces its effect) So the big pharma has made sure it is difficult to get hold of..

"Because St. John's wort is able to induce a liver detoxification enzyme (CYP3A4), it can lower drug and toxin levels in the blood. This is positive in most cases, and may accound for why it clears the mind. However, in the case of drugs where maintaining blood levels is critical, such as in organ rejection drugs, the same effect can be deadly. Dr. Duke points out that broccoli, brussel sprouts and tobacco also induce similar liver detoxification of drugs."
