It is estimated that in 2011 there were between 2 and 4 million people suffered serious or fatal injury associated with prescription drug therapy. Pradaxa and Coumadin were the top two. They are both blood thinners and the problems they cause are due to excessive bleeding.
If you or someone you know or love is on them or has been recommended I suggest you consider this alternative…
Fish oil. It has been shown that fish oil keeps blood platelets from forming clots, in fact, medical doctors will tell people to quit a fish oil regimen if they are planning to do surgery.
The big news is that a new report has just been released which studies the effects of fish oils on the risk of bleeding. The report found that fish oil supplements had an effect on the risk of clinically significant bleeding (in fact they improved the safety of prescription blood thinners when fish oil was taken with the prescription drug).
Fish oils have been used for years by many types of practitioners for their incredible benefits to health. This study is just another example of how wonderful this supplement can be.
Be Warned… all fish oil supplements are not created equal. you will get a lesser quality product if you purchase them from drug store or superstore than you would from a reputable store like whole foods or this office.
