Alternative-Med anticoagulant therapy alternatives??

[Guest guest]

Roberta-

When taking coumadin the docs tell you not to eat

alot of greens because of the Vitamin K , it thins the blood. If it

were me I'd start eating a small amount of raw fresh greens and

eating garlic which is a natural blood thinner too, fresh garlic, not

garlic powder or garlic salt...but fresh chopped garlic on salads, in

dishes while still on coumadin. Or drink a whole chopped clove, then

two later on of fresh garlic in water. Have the doctor test for the

coumadin levels and you should see that you won't need as much

coumadin. Then, slowly eat more blood thinning foods until you can

safely go off of the coumadin. I'd be drinking alot of water too.
