I've found reading many books, that, herbal remedies can do wonders! I was taking warfarin to prevent blood clots. My son told me that turmeric does the same thing. The VA tests my blood INR every 4-6 weeks to make sure it's between 2-3. When I started taking Turmeric, I told them about it, they then adjusted my warfarin to lower dose and cut down the amount of days to take it.
