Guest guest Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 >coumadin is very dangerous. study nattokinase< When I was on coumadin, my toenails turned blue and fell off. I found this alarming, but my doctor just shook his head and laughed. I weaned myself off coumadin and started taking natto. My toenails and I have been fine for three years now.
