Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Vanessa: I know QUITE a bit about this issue. I attended on Sunday and WISH I had heard him make that statement! See background below which should answer your questions. I consume greens daily and have to base the amount of anti-coagulants I consume based on the amount of greens/chlorophyl & vitamin K I consume. Unfortunately people are told to avoid greens but optimal health requires it! Make it a blessed week! Jim At the age of 29 I (Jim Casale) had emergency open-heart surgery on 09/09/1997 for a dissecting aneurysm in my ascending aorta (what the actor John Ritter died of/I was misdiagnosed for a few hours as well). According to my heart surgeon my heart was in great shape. Open heart surgery was needed to get to that area of my body quickly. Part of my aorta is now Teflon and I have a St. Jude's aortic heart valve (metal). As a result I must anti-coagulate (thin) my blood. I took Coumadin (which is used to kill rats) for over six months, there ARE side effects in spite of being told there are not. Most people do NOT realize that a person on ANY anti-coagulant prescription drug can still have a blood clot! (Warfarin (also known under the brand names of Coumadin, Jantoven, Marevan, and Waran). It is a FACT that anti-coagulant drugs do NOT eliminate the chance of a blood clot, they only reduce it. We all have blood clots; the key is to have healthy clots, NOT unhealthy clots. Now I am NOT taking any anti-coagulant drugs; instead, I use the supplements below which are all natural, and are more effective & not only don't have detrimental effects but, also have beneficial effects. Dosages of these are dependent on how many of these supplements are taken daily. Also, another major factor is the healthier you are, the more you will need to take in terms of dosages and/or supplements to have an anti-coagulant effect. Chlorophyll and Vitamin K are essential for health, but will cause anti-coagulants (commonly know as blood thinners) to be needed in greater dosages. Aspirin (no matter what strength) should NOT be taken long-term as an anti-coagulant. For a full sheet on the anti-coagulants to use & heart health anyone can email health and request it.
