Your Plan for Health
My doctor recently took me off Coumadin after being on it for 16 years. I have several questions:
1. I now take Nattokanise just to insure my blood does not get too thick. Is there a way I can self test my blood to see if it not too thick or too thin?
2. Is the PT test vaild if a person is NOT on blood thinners?
3. How long before the Coumadin is out of my system?
4. Is there a supplement I should take to "clean" out my system from the Coumadin?
Thank you for taking the time to help others.

Answer Is there a way I can self test my blood to see if it not too thick or too thin? PT/INR
2. Is the PT test vaild if a person is NOT on blood thinners? Yes, plus Hemoglobin and hematocrit
3. How long before the Coumadin is out of my system? 60-120 hours
4. Is there a supplement I should take to "clean" out my system from the Coumadin? B-100 time-released b complex helps
Note: Nattokinase is not effective for the purpose you are using it
Research fish oil for this purpose but need triple strength taken 5-7 times daily
