Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 I recently circulated an article on a baby aspirin's new use as a blood thinning or anti-clotting therapy for patients with heart conditions. Although the digestive problems with long term use were mentioned no alternative was given only a statement that natural and efective alternatives exist. One is Cod Liver Oil or other fish oil. According to Dr. V. , MD one tablespoon daily will usually be sufficient while 2 tablespoonfuls is still safe and will lower the risk of cardivascular disease. It's conceivably possible to overdose by taking so much fish oil that blood will not clot normally.However you'd have to take 5 or 6 tablespoons daily for this to become a risk. A new natural product Nattokinase has been shown to dissolve clots.The Nattokinase enzyme has been available for hndreds of years in the Japanese frmented soy dish " natto " Dr. recommended 138 mg of Nattokinase, 3 times a day > > So even though aspirin is relatively simple compared to the > rest of the pharmaceutical world, it should still be given > the respect that you would give any medication - that is: > it's a useful drug with a number of benefits and some obvious > drawbacks.
