The trouble with coumadin, which has essentially no food value is it interferes with all the stuff that is good for your blood that prevents clotting and nourishes and anti-oxidizes you! Like grape juice, wine, chocolate, leafy greens and salicylates. I am against anything that prevents me from promoting my health. Fish oil, dark unsweetened chocolate, capsaicin, balanced vitamin E, low carbs, fruit, wine, and salicylate herbs and vegetables will do a better job and healthier one than coumarin. Coumarin/Coumadin is junk, pure and simple. It also does not prevent cholesterol from forming on arteries. Leafy greens in copious quantities do if you balance your diet, and thin your blood. IT isa knife edge balance between being too thin of blood, and having enough clotting factor. One thing is true, you cannot overdose on vitamin K and excess vitamin K is not the cause of agglomerating blood. What you need to do is balance your vitamin E, alphalinolenic acid levels, (Omega 3) increase your selenium and magnesium B12, B1, folate, B6 levels as well. Increase salicylates and you should be able to get back to normal. One thing that will probably help is nattokinase. Folate and B12 should be at 2000 micrograms per day. Lack of B12 is probably a prime cause of clotting.
