Coumadin is a rat poison that kills by thinning blood so much they hemorrhage to death. Some of us hoomin beans have blood that is too thick. Now, as a kid, I was always told that dark, thick, rich blood was good.
As a middle-ager, I found out in March of this year that if too thick. my heart developed an arrhythmia (top and bottom halves beating off cycle instead of in synchronization. Not good.) Doc put me on coumadin.
When I asked how long it would have to be, he said, "For the rest of your Life." Not what I wanted to hear. Today, the cardiologist took me off coumadin, and I'm back on aspirin. Now, I think (hope like hell) that's a step to the good.
So, now it's at least cheaper, if not better, and I think it's better too.
