Carpal tunnel syndrome can
result from any combination of health conditions and physical activities that
increase pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the wrist. Things that put you at risk for
carpal tunnel syndrome include:
The most important step in controlling carpal tunnel
syndrome is to stay fit and in good overall health. But if you suspect that
certain activities at your workplace are helping to cause tingling, numbness,
weakness, and pain in your fingers or hand, make some changes now. For example,
prolonged and forceful hand movement or using vibrating machinery may
contribute to symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Talk to your human resources
department about different ways of doing your job, changes in your equipment,
or having an ergonomic consultation if you notice these symptoms. For more

This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
Alix Ohlin is a writer born in Montreal, now living in Pennsylvania. She has been praised by Nobel Prize winner J.M. Coetzee as "a skillful storyteller, quick-witted and wry."
The novel opens with a striking scene of Grace experiencing sudden disorientation on a wintry Mount Royal in Montreal:
"Now, at the end of January, it had finally snowed all night and all day, at last enough to ski on. She slipped around the Chalet and headed into the woods, losing the vista of Montreal below, gaining muffled silence and solitude, the trees turning the light even fainter. One skier had been here before her, leaving a path of parallel stripes. On a slight downhill slope she crouched down and picked up speed as she moved around a bend.
Turning, she saw the branch or whatever it was too late. Though she tried to slow down, she wasn't quick enough and ran right into it and was knocked out of her skis, falling sideways into the snow, realizing only when she sat up that what had tripped her was the body of a man.
The air torn from her returned slowly, painfully, to her burning lungs. When she could breathe she said, `Are you all right?' There was no answer (...) Kneeling down to check his pulse, she saw the rope around his neck. Thick and braided, it trailed beneath him, almost nestled under his arm, and the other end rested on a snowbank - no, was buried underneath it - and on the other side she could see that the branch it had been tied to had broken off."
Inside follows up on this engaging opening scene of attempted suicide with the story of four characters - Grace, a therapist, and 3 others who are - or have been - connected closely to her.
"Grace" is a clever choice of name for the protagonist, because grace is in fact a central theme in the book. How uplifting it can be, but also how accidental, arbitrary, and ultimately inseparable from the gray zones and mixed motives that constitute human nature.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Bookish Thoughts...,
Reader Writer Runner (Victoria, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
New York Times book reviewer William Giraldi called it "insufferable schmaltz." The Giller committee short-listed it for one of Canada's most prestigious literary awards. Montreal-born Alix Ohlin's "Inside" has certainly provoked strong reactions, enough to make me curious about the origin of all the fuss.
The opening of Ohlin's novel describes Montreal psychotherapist, Grace, cross-country skiing on Mount Royal, where she comes across a man lying face down in the snow. She soon realizes that the man has unsuccessfully hanged himself from a tree and, instantly, Ohlin reveals the story's central questions: when someone has suffered something terrible, how far does another person's duty go to help? What do the helper's motives become beyond simple instinct?
In subsequent chapters, the rest of the book's cast emerges. Annie, Grace's self-harming teenager patient, eventually pursues an acting career in New York, where a runaway who reminds her of herself takes over her life; Tug, that man in the snow, tries to shake the demons of an encounter with a gruesome episode of African history; and Mitch, Grace's ex-husband, flees a troubled new relationship to do social work in the Canadian north and quickly finds himself in over his head.
Ohlin gives each character's story equal weight, partially overlapping them across time and place. This method can seem daunting to the reader and perhaps the author's strength as a short story writer gets in the way of writing a fully cohesive novel. Indeed, at times "Inside" reads more like a collection of linked stories containing disorienting shifts in space and time. But, if the reader pays close attention, Ohlin's combination of smooth prose, thematic complexity and structural ambition makes for an equally accessible and demanding novel.

Amy Fudge (St. John's Newfoundland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
This is the first book I've read by author Alex Ohlin, and as cliche as it sounds, it really was the type of novel that completely drew me into the lives of the four characters she portrays. The stories were heartbreaking and real, and I grew to actually care about the characters and the troubles they were facing. I couldn't put it down. If you're looking for action and adventure it's probably not the best choice, but if you like a good character-driven novel then I highly reccomend it.

This review is from: Inside (Kindle Edition)
This book was heartbreakingly sad and depressing. I thought it was really well written, and I "liked" the characters in the sense that they were fascinating (although they were mostly quite unlikeable). The main negative point is that I found the book ended abruptly. I didn't like not knowing what became of the characters. Did any of them find happiness? You can sort of assume how things ended but only in a very vague way. This made me almost hate the book by the time I finished it. I hate not knowing. I wanted more. But it's definitely a book that completely absorbs you, and I found myself thinking about the characters days after I read it. So overall...loved reading it. Didn't want to put it down. But also hated it.

5.0 out of 5 stars CAPTIVATING AND ABSORBING!,
Janet B (Montreal, Quebec, CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
This story takes you into the lives of four very strong characters in different times and in different places.
It was wintertime in Montreal in the year 1996, when GRACE Tomlinson, a psychologist, was cross-country skiing on Mount-Royal. One of her clients had cancelled and so she was free to go skiing while it was still light. One skier had been there before her, leaving a path of parallel stripes. She crouched down and picked up speed and when she turned the bend she tripped over the body of a man. When Grace caught her breath she asked him if he was okay. He didn't respond. She knelt down to check the pulse in his neck. Grace noticed he had a rope around his neck and a branch was broken off. She untied the rope, loosened his clothes and skied off to the Chalet to call 911. In French, she tried to explain where in the woods they were. The Urgence Sante men arrived and took the man to the hospital. Grace followed them in her car. The Urgence Sante men assumed they were a couple. She wasn't sure why she was following, but she was curious to find out what would drive him to hang himself. Later on, she found out his name was John Tugwell. She waited for him and drove him home. Grace stayed with TUG, the name he told her to call him. She didn't want to leave him alone for fear he would try it again. Why did Tug want to end his life? Grace was interested to find out and she would soon find out so much more.
ANNIE Hardwick was sixteen years old and a patient of Grace. She aspired to be an actress. Her father was an orthodontist and her mother a lawyer. Annie's problem was cutting herself, inflicting self-injury. She had an assignment to do from her last session. She gave it to Grace. She wrote that she was pregnant. Annie told Grace not to tell her parents, but Grace said that she couldn't do that. Annie was under age and Grace had to tell them. Annie left the office. Grace told her to remember that she had options. It was January, 2002, when Annie ran away to New York to pursue an acting career. She met a guy named Larry in her acting class, who told her about an apartment on the Lower East Side where the rent was cheap. He had hoped to have sex with her in exchange. Her name was now Anne. Anne took the apartment and dropped the class. She had enough money to tide her over while she looked for a job as a temp in an office and then found a bit part in a play. One day, when she returned home she found a homeless person sleeping in the lobby of her building. Anne thought the person was a male. The next day he was still there. There was a smell of urine wafting up the stairwell. A neighbour was about to call the police when Anne went to talk to the person and found out the person under the smelly blanket was a girl. The girl told Anne she was hungry and wanted to use her shower. Anne said okay. The girl's name was Hilary. She too was a runaway. Anne made her a sandwich and gave her some clothes. In exchange for room and board, Hilary kept the house tidy. Anne was wondering why she allowed her to stay, but soon enough Anne found out. Gradually they became strange, unlikely roommates.
MITCH, a clinical psychologist, was married to Grace. After a time, Mitch met a woman, Martine, on the day her divorce became final. She was forty-five years old, a lawyer, very smart and sexy. Martine had a son Mathieu, who was a difficult child. He had Asperger's. Martine's ex husband left her because he couldn't cope with it. Mitch fell in love with Martine and her son. Soon after, their relationship became strained and he felt he had to get away. In 2006, Mitch received a contract to spend a few months in Iqaluit. His skills were needed in the native community. The money was great and there was a lack of healthcare in the north. The problems were numerous eg drugs, alcohol abuse, depression, violence etc. It was there that Mitch met Thomasie, a young boy with a lot of problems. Mitch was going to help straighten him out.
Inside is a thought-provoking read. The characters all have problems of their own and yet they insist on putting all their energies into saving others. Perhaps in that way, they won't have to deal with their own problems.
Alix Ohlin's writing is smooth and at the same time captivating. She draws you in from the beginning and holds your interest to the very end. I enjoyed this novel and can highly recommend it.
Inside was a Finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written,
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
The characters left me somewhat dissatisfied as did the ending. That said, I loved the concept of lives intertwined. Never knowing what action or inaction affected someone else greatly.I enjoyed the different snapshots shown but it usually left me wanting more or with unanswered questions. The book is well written and kept me interested but by the end I did feel let down.
4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, Accessible, Awe-inspiring,
aloveofreading (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
I really enjoyed Alix Ohlin's novel, which centres on the lives of four troubled and complex characters. The book is a Giller finalist, but I've been persuading people who typically avoid reading "literature" to read this book. The book is very accessible and is a touching and page-turning read. The application of psychology, and the desires we humans feel to help others, [to save others], is key for the novel. The book looks at very real and terrible issues, such as suicide, teen pregnancy, sexuality, and one's self-worth.
The narratives are very distinct and will draw the reader into the troubled lives of Grace, Mitch and Annie. Inside is a touching and memorable read that stuck with me long after I finished it. The book is well-written and the plot lines of the characters support each other while also stand on their own as their own realistic and slightly tragic story.
There is a darkness to everyone, even if you can't see it. The book puts a lot of weight on that you can't always see what's going on inside a person. You can't know their darkest secrets and what's weighing them down. You can't always help someone, no matter how hard you try. The world is a bitter and difficult place and not everyone copes well with the problems life deals us.
The characters were easy to imagine in my mind. I felt like I knew them and sometimes, that I was suffering along with them. As someone who has seen and dealt with friends and family who have suffered silently and alone with depression, anxiety, and the like, this novel really hit home with me.
This book was fantastic and a worthy contestant for the Giller! Ohlin is a talented writer, capable of weaving an intense and emotional story that will stay with you. I expect she will continue to provide wonderful pieces of Canadian literature.
5.0 out of 5 stars wanting more,
Novel Girl (Alberta,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
This book really intrigued me when I chose it, and it really lived up to all the intrigue.
We are introduced to our two central characters Grace and Tug right from the first chapter., and then you find yourself hooked reading about them and all the other characters in this book. This book hops back and forth between current being 2006 and past being 1996. The characters and their stories intertwine, and the writing is very exceptional. So much about this book is relatable to life and circumstances which change peoples lives and their destinies. Excellent short read. Will definitely seek another of her books, like maybe her other novel The Missing Person.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well written but boring story.,
This review is from: Inside (Kindle Edition)
Positives: Loved the author's writing style when she described scenes, emotions and of descriptions of Canadian scenes. The characters sounded real. Very easy read.
Cons: Lack of action. Unfortunately, the author wasted too much time describing the scene, the characters inner perceptions and emotions, but forgot to add action. I kept reading hoping for something to happen, only to be left with a bunch of depressed characters who felt lonely all the time and it ended with no twist or surprise, nothing, just a bland mix of sadness. Don't read this book if you're depressed it will only make you want to kill yourself!
4.0 out of 5 stars Earth shattering,
S. Gatien "Sooph1e" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Inside (Paperback)
Being from montreal, I instantly recognized the landmarks the author described with such vivid details. Just how much help can we be to each other as human beings, if the person we are tying to help does not want attention? The subject is broached with a sense of longing and a desperation only a true author can achieve. Definately a masterpiece of art.

Scio Diamond Technology Corporation Comments on Consent Proposed by Small Group of Stockholders
GREENVILLE, SC, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ – Scio Diamond Technology Corporation (OTCQB: SCIO) ("Scio" or the Company") comments on the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by a small group of dissident stockholders.
As an initial matter, the Company notes that the consents solicited by the group are not permitted under the Company's bylaws and will have no effect. As a result, the Company requests that stockholders not participate in the solicitation efforts by the group. This small group is principally made up of people who have sued the Company and its Board of Directors earlier and those matters were dismissed.
Recently, in certain SEC filings, Michael McMahon was named by the group of shareholders as one of persons participating in the solicitation of written consents from Scio shareholders. Mr. McMahon, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Although I shared with a member of the group that I was willing to be nominated as a director, as I have with the current Board, I am not a participant in their solicitation, I am not now nor do I have any plans on working with them and I do not otherwise support their proposals in any manner."
Speaking for the Board, "The group's attack on the Company's performance ignores the strong progress that we have made in the face of challenges inherent in this emerging industry" Chairman of the Board, Edward Adams stated.
McMahon stated "under the current Board's leadership, we are advancing our technology for the mass production of diamonds, while we continue to explore the huge potential of our awesome technology. The Company continues its efforts to increase value by creating joint ventures, licensing technology, increasing sales, lowering overhead and operating costs, increasing revenue, lowering capital costs and dramatically improving our technology, as shown in our recent press release on 4″ technology." McMahon also stated "the proposals and maneuvers like this one by anyone, cause the Company to incur additional unnecessary costs, that we just cannot afford, and are detrimental to all of our shareholders."
Adams concurred saying that the management of the Company has remained tremendously strong and focused, through these difficult times and are supported by the Board.
McMahon stated that, "The Management team of Scio has and will continue to support and execute the actions of the Board. He added: "In my judgment, during my tenure as CEO, the Board's actions have intended to enhance and protect shareholder value."
Copies of filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission are available at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, or at the Investor Relations section of the Company's web site at www.sciodiamond.com, and are also available, without charge, by directing requests to the Company's Investor Relations department.
About Scio

Additionally, Scio is capable of producing diamond that has the structural, optical and electronic characteristics for industrial, medical and semiconductor applications.

It has a seperate installer for the content called Gensisi Starter Essentials which must be installed as well. It updates Genesis to the latest .DUF file format, and loads the rest of the content as well.
There is a newer version available in the store, 220.127.116.11, which fixes some issues that 126.96.36.199, but it is still classed as a Beta (Iuse it with no problems so far though) It is really up to you which one you install, either will load Mavka for you.
The Beta version fixes a problem with Uberarea lights, so if you use them, then you should really get it. Hope that all makes sense?
OK JimmyC
Had to make myself a big cup of tea, and then set about following your instructions regarding the latest version; not the 188.8.131.52 version(not ready for that yet). Found some other stuff that I need to install as well so will get back to you about what happened next….....
Whoo Oooo JimmyC!!! you're the man….:kiss: Now can you tell me what's happening here? Why do some of the figures have the explanation symbols and some not??? Never mind I just had another look at the picture and realised that there seems to be another version of the same figure!!
Thanks for all your Help…......
The triangle with exclamation point means the file referenced is missing—in this case, DS 4.0 had these poses in .dsa files, while DS 4.5 uses .duf files, and the database still has a reference to the old file even though it no longer exists. If you go to the Content Library tab and click on the options menu (the rectangle with horizontal lines in the upper corner) and choose "Content DB Maintenance > Remove Orphaned File References" those leftover references will be removed.

I do not get Orphaned Files. I have both listed as good files. I have the .dsa and the .duf files listed side by side. What should I do? If anything, I mean it all works, I load the .duf files (they load faster for me) but is my Database FUBAR? I do get some of those Duplicate errors from time to time but everything works. I've backed up my database as it is should I do anything?

The old versions should have gotten uninstalled when you installed DS4.5. Having the extra files shouldn't cause a problem AFAIK, as the Data folder files should still be .dsf, so the old ones would have gotten overwritten, but I don't know that for sure.
This is my Default Genesis folder. I did let 4.5 Uninstall at install, I have doubles (no ! icons) for all default Starter content. Nothing else has that issue. Just the .duf files, all of them.
And my paths are fine. The LOH one is MY props (items I make and texture myself) that I test in that folder.

The Mortgage Bankers Association is pushing for five technical changes to housing finance -- changes that the group says President Barack Obama could make procedurally without legislation. The changes include having Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac issue one type of security only and encouraging private parties to take on more of the government-sponsored entities' mortgage risk.

Attendance is down? Eh, no big deal
Apr 20, 2011, 3:30 PM EDT
There has been an awful lot of chatter about attendance in the first couple weeks of season, driven mostly by empty seats in places that aren't usually empty like Dodger Stadium. Yankee Stadium has had some small crowds too (for the Yankees anyway) and we've had the usual shots of nearly abandoned ballparks in Cleveland and Florida and places like that.
I think a ton of this has had to do with the weather — they scheduled way too many home games for the Yankees in April — and my suspicion has been, based on earlier reports of advanced ticket sales, that what we've been seeing and hearing about is really more an anecdotal thing as opposed to a real thing. Darren Rovell of CNBC crunched some numbers and pretty much confirms this:
If you average every team's attendance so far and compare it to that exact amount of games last year, Major League Baseball is only averaging 304 fans fewer per game than last year. While that 1 percent drop is significant, it's not as much as I would have thought from some of the pictures I've seen.
It's weather mostly. And, as Rovell notes, there have been bigger crowds than usual in places we tend not to see as often during the early editions of Sports Center: San Francisco, Oakland and Toronto. No biggie.

The Dodgers should look much better with all those extra police officers hanging around.
- seattlej - Apr 20, 2011 at 3:42 PM
It's been the coldest April on record here in the Pac NW… combine that with a piss poor Mariners team that is painful to watch and you've got the perfect formula for record low attendance. I usually hit a couple of games a month, but it's hard to have fun when you're watching Adam Kennedy batting cleanup while it's 38 degrees, damp and windy.
- Jonny 5 - Apr 20, 2011 at 3:52 PM
Over 45,000 in attendance at CBP last night. It was raining and 50 something. Maybe New Yorkers are just getting soft?

Rockies vs. Dbacks in April…why was this a Rockies home game again?
I can only imagine the difficulties of making up an MLB schedule for all 30 teams, and the number of variables one would have to anticipate. Bad weather in northern states, good weather in the south, west coast and domes seems like a pretty safe bet early on though. It could also help avoid some injuries.
- snowbirdgothic - Apr 20, 2011 at 4:55 PM
Warm weather games draw better, and the teams in "good weather" locations don't want to give a disproportionate number of those up.
- crnvic847 - Apr 20, 2011 at 4:48 PM
Bigger crowds in Toronto? Yeah the caption in this article shows those people piling into the Rogers Centre! Nice article.
- bigtrav425 - Apr 20, 2011 at 6:42 PM
The weather here in Cleveland has SUCKED ASS! plus the economy here is really horrible and despite our record we really dont have a superstar or that must see player.
- APBA Guy - Apr 20, 2011 at 6:54 PM
Weather is great here, snicker, snicker. The Sox are in town and just finished spanking the beloved A's. Normally a sellout, today's game drew about 80% of capacity, like last year. So why aren't we drawing better? Oh, yeah. That pesky unemployment problem, currently at 12%. Then there's that underemployment problem, currently at 7%. That's about 1 in 5 here who aren't in a ticket buying mood, and there are at least another 2 in 5 who are watching gas prices go up and the steady trickle of people moving back whence they came, and thinking "that could be me next." Very, very unpleasant.

Diplomatic relations between Vanuatu and Germany were established on 22 April 1981. Political relations between the two countries are friendly and untroubled. The German Ambassador in Canberra, Australia, is also accredited to Vanuatu.
In 2013, bilateral trade amounted to approximately EUR 0.7 million, with German imports from Vanuatu worth EUR 45,000 and German exports to Vanuatu worth EUR 0.67 million, putting Vanuatu in 213th place among Germany's foreign trading partners in terms of German imports and 212th place in terms of German exports.
Germany supports Vanuatu's economic, social and cultural development, in particular through its substantial contributions to the European Union. The EU is the second biggest development aid donor in the region, after Australia, the partner countries being allocated funding for various projects and programmes in accordance with Country Strategy Papers. Under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF), a total of EUR 31.3 million has been earmarked for Vanuatu for the period 2008 to 2013. The priority area of the 11th EDF in Vanuatu is developing and supporting agriculture.
Vanuatu is also closely involved in German cooperation on climate policy with the countries of the South Pacific Region. In December 2009, Vanuatu's then Prime Minister Edward Natapei attended a climate forum in Berlin at the invitation of Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel. Participants from Vanuatu were also present at the International Workshop on Seismology, Seismic Hazard and Tsunami Early Warning organised by the Potsdam-based German Research Centre for Geosciences in July 2010. In 2010, 2011 and 2014, staff from Vanuatu's Ministry of Foreign Affairs took part in a four-week training course for diplomats in Berlin at the invitation of the Federal Foreign Office.
Part of the project "Adapting to Climate Change" in the Pacific Island Region, which runs from 2009 to 2015 and is being conducted by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), is taking place in Vanuatu, where a local GIZ worker has been active since 2010. In addition, as part of the Federal Environment Ministry's (BMU) International Climate Initiative (IKI), EUR 2.3 million was made available for the period 2009 to 2013 to fund a project to conserve and use mangrove forests for coastal protection in several South Pacific states including Vanuatu. Earlier, from 1994 to 2008, Germany supported the regional project Forest Management in Pacific Island States, as part of which the GIZ (at that time still called the GTZ) conducted a project on sustainable natural forest management funded by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and Vanuatu's National Forestry Authority. In 2011, another GIZ-initiated, BMU-funded regional project was launched in several countries including Vanuatu. The project promotes activities to conserve tropical forests as a contribution to climate protection.
In addition, the German Embassy in Canberra, which is also responsible for Vanuatu, is supporting a number of small-scale projects there, mostly in the education sector. In 2012 and 2013, it subsidised the construction of bush clinics on remote islands.

Despite benefits of adherence, little is known about the degree to which patients will express their perceptions of medications as more or less important to take as prescribed. We determined the frequency with which Veteran patients would explicitly identify one of their medications as "most important" or "least important."
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients from ambulatory clinics at VA Boston from April 2010-July 2011. Patients answered two questions: "Which one of your medicines, if any, do you think is the most important? (if none, please write 'none')" and "Which one of your medicines, if any, do you think is the least important? (if none, please write 'none')." We determined the prevalence of response categories for each question. Our cohort of 104 patients was predominantly male (95%), with a mean of 9 medications (SD 5.7). Regarding their most important medication, 41 patients (39%) identified one specific medication; 26 (25%) selected more than one; 21 (20%) wrote "none"; and 16 (15%) did not answer the question. For their least important medication, 31 Veterans (30%) chose one specific medication; two (2%) chose more than one; 51 (49%) wrote "none"; and 20 (19%) did not directly answer the question.
Thirty-five percent of patients did not identify a most important medication, and 68% did not identify a least important medication. Better understanding of how patients prioritize medications and how best to elicit this information will improve patient-provider communication, which may in turn lead to better adherence.

Medicine and juice a bad mix?
Filed under: Health & Safety: Babies, Medical Conditions, In The News
Grapefruit juice has long been known to interact with some drugs in a way that can cause blood concentration of the medication to reach toxic levels. But a new study has found that grapefruit and other fruit juices may also block the effects of some drugs. In the study, which was conducted with adult patients, grapefruit, orange and apple juices were found to reduce the absorption of the anticancer drug etoposide; certain beta blockers; cyclosporine, which is used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs; and some antibiotics.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg," says Dr. David G. Bailey, a professor of clinical pharmacology at the University of Ontario. "I'm sure we'll find more and more drugs that are affected this way."
Dr. Bailey recommends taking most medications with water and advises patients to consult their doctor or pharmacist before taking any medications with grapefruit or other juices.

Your dilemma makes me think of two things that might help... first, talk with your pharmacist, sometimes they can make drugs for children in a more palatable form, such as flavored syrups or chewable tablets.
Second, talk with your doctor/pharmacist and see if something like a flavored water will do the trick. Some are very tasty, and have just enough flavor to sweeten, but perhaps not enough juice (some, none at all), to affect the meds.
Or you could just wrap the pill in cheese, or stick it in a wad of peanut butter - that always works for my dog.....

My son is in the process of getting a liver transplant, and one of the things the doctor told us is that he will never be able to have grapefruit juice because of the adverse reactions it has against his anti-rejection medication.
FYI SunnyD and many other juices use grapefruit as an additive.
