Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 i was also " warned " about vitamin C by the coumadin clinic. it's like a bad movie, like the stepford wives or the aliens where they take over people's minds. how can educatd people be saying NATURAL things are bad for me? it goes against reason. the drugs they will never say any bad thing about. i was taking coumadin for years and started to get sores on my face that bled easily. more than one doc said they did not know what it was. i quit the coumadin (on my own) and within one month the sores were gone and NEVER returned. sometimes they won't even TELL you if you're having a side effect of a medication. THANK you for the useful information about lemon juice in the morning. One more tool to add to the tool bag. THanks!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sunny, GREAT posts! Would you be willing to talk privately to my friend's sister? She is a registered nurse, so I have no idea how open she is, but she is a terrific person. As for the interaction between Coumadin and garlic, vitamin C etc, we could so easy turn the whole thing on its head! Instead of saying that Vitamin C can cause dangerous bleeding for people who use Coumadin, why don't we say that Coumadin can cause dangerous bleeding in people on a healthy high vitamin C diet? Why can't the doctors educate patients, and design some charts that tell you how much or high little rat poison to take, depending on what you eat on a given day? Less money for big pharma in it of course.
