ps doc says to eat pineapple to heal ???

My friend and i had surgery on same day 1 month ago.  her healing is not going as well as mine he told her to eat fresh pineapple everyday to help with the healing process?  Why?  Ever heard of this?  Just curious. Thanks. Jo

Bromelain is derived from the pineapple.  Used to treat swelling and aid in healing.
There are many bromelain supplements if fresh pineapple is not available.
I took some when I had my lipo; whether it really helped or not, I don't know.  But figured it couldn't hurt.   Barb
