Vitamin K causes clotting, not thinning of the blood, so it would be an antagonist to Coumadin. But dark leafy green vegetables contain lots of folic acid which is very heart-healthy, so the doctors cut the heart patients off from the foods that would help them. Vitamin E and garlic are blood thinners, and also the Asian food called "black fungus" which can be bought dehydrated in Asian markets. It swells up a lot in cooking and can be added to soups. Someone reported eating a lot and having a nose bleed as a result. Some clovers have natural Coumadin compounds, as I understand it. Would the thinning caused by eating more garlic, Vitamin E, etc. have the same effect as taking Coumadin so one could substitute the natural substances, or is there any difference in the action?
