But that wouldn't be practical. My wife had her aortic valve replaced about 6 years ago and at the time of the operation she wasn't given a 50 / 50 chance. She also takes rat poison (Warfarin / Coumadin ) daily and relies solely on the Protime results every 2 months. When I suggest that she probably could cut down on on her intake of warfarin, 4mg daily, by adding either Garlic or asprin, I might as well save my breath.
If you are still on Coumadin, you should tell your doctor to write a prescription for warfarin it is a lot less expensive - check out costco.com / pharmacy -- you don't have to belong to buy from the pharmacy. -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
