Coumadin was developed at the University of Wisconsin in the 1940s and is basically the same as rat poison. I went on it for a brief time while I was undergoing cardioversion for my atrial fibrillation and wound up pissing blood. There are many other alternative blood thinning products on the market for a reason.
I now use a natural vitamin nattokinase in conjunction with aspirin and a healthy diet to reduce my stroke risk. And I ha also run marathons, so there are better ways to stay healthy than using Warfarin
I lived in Wisconsin when Morning on the Farm radio show was touting Warfarin as the best rat poison.
In 2009 had cardioversion for my A-Fib. Coumadin had me p***ing burgundy wine. Doc said stop taking it. That worked.
Then open heart surgery in 2011 & solved it all. Of course now I’m diagnosed with congestive heart failure due to my decades of poor lifestyle choices. Murder will out.
Thanks for you comments.
I’ve been on Coumadin for 26 years. I haven’t pissed blood once.
I don’t go to crazy lengths to watch my diet. I eat regular meals and try not to go overboard.
Using something like nattokinase and aspirin would not help me. I have major clotting issues that involved up to 75% of my lungs and the rest of my body down, at two points in my life.
I couldn’t run a marathon today due to the loss of my two main veins, one in each leg. Blood pools in my lower extremities.
My legs swell if I stand or sit for too long a period of time, but can be reduced significantly with the use of support socks.
I can do exercise in moderation over short periods of time. The endurance activities are out.
If I did what you’re doing, I wouldn’t be here.
