In reply to Dose Adjustments for those with Asian backgrounds, posted by Howard on March 30, 1999, at 0:33:01
> Only comment I can make is that I have been married to a Asian for 15 years +. They do react to medications differently. Two suspected reason; they have no tolerance and the absorbtion rate. We need to look at diet and lifestyle. Asians do not grow up on manmade medications as Americans or Europeans, they take a more organic path...ie...oriental herbs. example give a kid ASA for the 1st time and he or she is out like a light. The diet is also high on grains and low on meat and dairy products. This continues with 1st and 2nd generation Asians. Just a thought.....Gerry
