No wonder it makes you sick. Just reading about it made me want to throw up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayexalate
It is basically powdered plastic and is used as a binder to make cement stronger. When taken internally, it takes in potassium and calcium and puts out high levels of sodium (salt) into your digestive tract. Since it absorbs things like calcium and potassium, there is a good chance it would also absorb Gleevec and reduce its effectiveness. If you continue to take it, I would suggest not taking it within several hours of taking Gleevec. If it were me, I would ask for something else, or take it only in enema form. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
