Dark green veggies may have some blood thinning quality but that effect would be balanced by vitamin K that most green vegetables contain. Vitamin K is important because it helps blood to clot in case of bleeding from whatever cause. You can't fool nature; nature provides balance!

However, once you have decided to "stray" from nature and get under the care of a doctor who precribes all kinds of meds, you had better follow his advice. For example, vitamin K can interfere with some anticoagulant drugs.

P.S. Thanks for the information about the INR blood test.
Your assessment he could not be more wrong is totally incorrect!

We are not straying from nature...just doing the smart, prudent thing to remain alive.

When one has a condition that could be life threatening life blood clots forming for any number of conditions, then medication to prevent the clots from forming and threatening ones life is the correct/smart thing to do....natural or not.

PS Everytime I read your not so oblique message about doing what is natural it starts to get me warmer each time.....If my wife or I would have relied on natures balance to save the day one or both of us would not be here today. Very inappropriate commentary!!!!!!
