Hi,
Thanks for sending great information in your newsletter. I sure hope you continue on the path back to good health. My concern for you is the warfarin, is not great stuff. Have you looked into using natural vitamin E as it is a natural blood thinner? Years ago the Wilifred and Evan Shute from Canada used it to treat thousands of patients. The Shute Medical Institute is in London, Ontario and still carries their message forward. An online search will find many resources such as: http://www.anaturalcure.com or http://www.ericbakker.com/.
In good health,
Cindy
