I meant that "Vitamin E has no effect in general" on coumadin ingestion vis a vis making the blood too thin, and thus possibly inducing bleeding stroke. Watch garlic and dark chocolate when on warfarin and coumadin. The combination of the three elements in excess could be dangerous. Aspirin as well may be contraindicated. This underscores the assertion that the combination of enteric coated aspirin, dark chocolate and garlic is as effective as coumadin at thinning the blood. If these three elements were combined with 1000 mgs of elemental magnesium per day and 500 mgs of inostitol and choline, it should be as effective at reducing arrythmia, as the drug. Coumadin however has been observed to be anomalously protective of serious cardiovascular events statistically quite apart from its blood thinning effect. This may be because it may have a strong anti-oxidative effect.
The cholesterol reducing drug Lipitor, while not seriously reducing triglycerides nor increasing HDL, is also seen as protective of serious CVD events quite apart from its observed reduction in serum cholesterol levels. Because of its decreasing these levels, it is probably advised to take COQ10 to offset the possibly deleterious effects of reducing the liver enzymes that are so vital to cell energy production and do-oxidization. Since cholesterol itself is an anti-oxidant, a viral and bacterial disease protector, a digestive aid, and vascular repair mechanism it is hard to see how a reducer of cholesterol is beneficial to health. It (Lipitor) may be (beneficial) in cases where otherwise the CV system is seriously impaired, but you pay a price. To protect against possible rhabdomyolysis (muscle wasting and paralysis), transient global amnesia or even the sub-clinical "mental fog" that often accompanies statin use, one should take COQ10 religiously when on Lipitor, any other statin (the HMG co -reductase inhibitors), or even red yeast rice, guggulipid, and niacin.
If one wanted arterial plaque reduction, coupled with platelet disaggregation, and sugar balance in order to also reduce the risk of bleeding AND thrombotic stroke, the best way it appears to naturally achieve this would be to combine the follwing elements moderately: dark unsweetened chocolate, enterically coated aspirin or willow bark, garlic, vitamin B12, vitamin C, Vitamin D3, selenium, no flush niacin or pantethine, vitamin b6-B1, folate, R+alpha-lipoic acid, fermented soy, fish/and/or fish oils, conjugated linolenic acid, citrus bioflavonoids and insoluble fibre. In addition cut out all sugars, vegetable oils except olive oil, and most high glycemic simple carbohydrates. In addition reduce protein intake by half. Increase solid animal fast slightly and increase moderate sub-aerobic exercise by 600 calory units per day.
