When I was on low dose chemo for the rheumatoid arthritis, I started gettng little oozing sores on my lower legs. Doc prescribed one folic acid tablet a week.

Bleagh. I started drinking one glass of Welch's Purple grape juice every day and the sores healed. Now that was supposedly a no no because it is thought that too much folic acid will interfere with the chemo.

But what happened is surprising. The RA inflammation indicators in my blood decreased. So.... did the increased daily folic acid taken in natural form actually improve my RA?

Anyway. If you like purple grape juice, Michelle, it might help with the healing of your incision. Instead of pudding (dessert) in the evening after dinner, I have the tall glass of grape juice with 4 or 5 ice cubes. Drink slowly and enjoy the flavour of each sip.
