Hello,
Yes, I found several old posts at Psycho-babble where doctor's are using the grapefruit effect on that isoenzyme as a way of increasing drug effects--this was for those who would have had to be on a very high dose of med. costing them much money for their drugs-I'd say it would be a tricky way to lower drug costs-tricky in knowing how much to lower the dose.
I hate grapefruit juice as well, but love fresh grapefruit-gotta have the pulp with the fresh juice, as well as the smell of the skin's oils when you raise it up to your mouth to squeeze every last drop of juice in. Yummy!
