Is Your Blood Thin Enough?

There is a medical position that believes especially if you are older, you probably need a blood thinner. And while that is a good idea in some cases, the use of Coumadin, aka, Warfarin, aka, rat poison(these are all one and the same), is not a good idea. There are much better, and natural ways of thinning the blood, and doing it moderately rapidly. Most fresh greens will thin the bloodstream, including sprouts. The essential oil of Wintergreen, simply by rubbing on the skin, may also do the same.

Following is a report sent to me by a natural health researcher, which shows you some information on Warfarin.

Warfarin: Side effects

Where does one start? If you read through the list of the potential dangerous side effects of warfarin, all you really want to do is run for the hills.

According to the website drugs.com, these are just some of the side effects you may experience when taking this drug:

* Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue)
* back, side, muscle, joint, or stomach pain;
* black, tarry, or bloody stools;
* blood in the urine (pink or brown urine);
* bloody or coffee ground-like vomit;
* fainting;
* purple, dark, or painful toes;
* stroke symptoms (e.g. confusion, slurred speech, vision problems, one-sided weakness) and
* unusual bruising or bleeding (e.g. nosebleed, unusual bleeding from gums, increased bleeding from cuts, increased menstrual or vaginal bleeding, coughing up blood, bleeding at the injection site)

The list goes on and the side effects get worse. Also mentioned is the fact that this medication can cause birth defects in an unborn baby and fatal or nonfatal haemorrhage from any tissue or organ...

Oh, and then there’s interactions with other prescription drugs like acetaminophen (Tylenol), aspirin, or any non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as well as natural supplements like bromelain, coenzyme Q10, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginseng and St. John's wort.

You should also avoid the following foods when taking warfarin: liver, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, Swiss chard, coriander, collards, cabbage, and other green leafy vegetables. Avoid eating cranberries, drinking cranberry juice, or taking cranberry herbal products.

In fact, the information on warfarin is so disheartening that once you know this prescription drug is also used to kill rats, you can’t help but wonder if that’s what it’s ultimately slowly doing to humans taking it too...

Another Shocking Warning About Swine Flu Vaccine

The swine flu vaccine has been hit by new cancer fears after a German health expert gave a shocking warning about its safety.

Lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has said that there are many risks associated with the vaccine for the H1N1 virus. The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals, and some fear that the risk of cancer could be increased by injecting the cells.

The vaccine can also cause worse side effects than the actual swine flu virus.

Do you have hypothyroidism? If you don't, you know someone who does. Seaweed can be very effective at helping this condition.


Kelp is an underwater plant with a majestic form, deep green color and a high nutritional yield. Commonly referred to as "seaweed" this botanical beauty is not from the common "seaweed" but rather a different classification of plant entirely. Care and importance should be taken when consuming kelp and one should know its origin.

Many of the world's oceans are suffering from pollution, so it is best to use a Kelp product from clean, pristine and protected ocean. Hawaii, Iceland, Canada, and the North West United States are all choice locations for quality Kelp products. Kelp is a great source of nutrients and can be added easily to any diet from both the digitata and nodosum varieties.
Constituents:
Iodine, Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Vitamin B1, B2, B12 and polysaccharides
Parts Used

Powdered or granulated whole kelp plant, which has been sun dried, cleaned and processed.

Typical Preparations

Powdered kelp can be easily included in practically every dish. You may sprinkle it on entrees, soups, salads, and it makes a marvelous drink in the form of a "green smoothie". Also adds well in teas and in iced drinks. Encapsulated kelp is also available as well as the liquid extract from the fresh plant.
Summary

Japanese studies have shown that the high Iodine value in Kelp assists with healthy thyroid function and these results have been overwhelmingly supportive in it being an effective treatment for hypothyroidism. Preliminary tests are showing that it may be effective in the supplemental treatment of tumors, however to date these reports have not been validated.
