The side effects were terrifying so my husband bought a new mattress and I made a chiropractor's appointment. Done. Deal. That was twenty years ago. I still don't have arthritis. I also still don't have an MD. I don't intend to either. <br /><br />My elderly mother has been prescribed Warfarin (rat poison) as a blood thinner and is not supposed to eat "too many green vegetables" because it increases the effect of the Warfarin. My thought is that it should replace it. She will probably not die from a stroke, but she probably will, unfortunately, die like a poisoned rat. She has already had episodes where her body is covered in huge, deep purple bruises with no external causes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932052541876261328.post-39581844084072350572012-02-17T13:51:31.532-08:002012-02-17T13:51:31.532-08:00I can't say I have, but I totally agree with b...I can't say I have, but I totally agree with being proactive and trying to treat with supplements and good wellness care!

I stood my ground knowing this had to be related to the reproductive system due to other symptoms (and my online research before the appointment). Turns out I have a large ovarian tumor..needless to say, I am seeing someone else this week to get a treatment plan. <br />So glad you are doing better!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04644117901228961804noreply@blogger.com
