Silver and I routinely check for cross reactions and have found interesting info - especially taking different meds/supps at different times from each other.

BOOKS - Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
knowing which methods offer assertive & direct impact, which are only support and which are both. And when to use what, how to combine, & when to step back.
You can compare and contrast many approaches with links to articles, books, methods . . . -

- Sometimes, it's not so much interactions as the very properties of something. Knowing HOW a substance works, what it does not just in regards to symptoms but how it affects the whole body -- well, that's really vital, too. For instance:
Some Rx will block - or deplete - GLUTATHIONE in the cells. This can result in some terrible reactions. See detail below about how ACETAMINOPHEN blocks glutathione and why that matters.
Also see detail about IBUPROFEN and how it constricts blood vessels - and what that might mean.
Some Rx can also deplete MAGNESIUM and that can result in much pain, etc.

Why Aspirin can be so dangerous - even a coated baby aspirin.
A separate matter from GI bleeding that can be caused, REYE syndrome is also something of which to be aware, especially for kids, yet sometimes for adults, too.
also consider all the OTHER NAMES a drug goes by, and also the generics.
Some fly under two or three different names or "nick names" depending upon the pharmaceutical company. -

Keebler...The wiki on Reye was interesting to me, because I remember my dad telling me about a coworker's daughter who got Reye syndrome back in the EARLY 60's.
"The first detailed description of Reye syndrome was in 1963 by Douglas Reye.[4] Children are most commonly affected. It affects less than one in a million children a year.[2] The general recommendation to use aspirin in children was withdrawn because of Reye syndrome, with use of aspirin only recommended in Kawasaki disease."
