90 (plus) essential nutrients that we all need.
In Britain, we have beautiful, rich, soil varieties that contain all of the required life-giving nutrients that hold the magical 'pinch' of life's wealth and health. We only ever hear about a few of the minerals and vitamins that are required in our diet but I would like to share with you a little information

Anticoagulation and Surgery
I recently encountered a new, unexpected and worrying reason why patients on anticoagulants should self manage their medication if possible. Having been on warfarin for 15 years due to a mechanical, aortic heart valve I took control of managing my medication and INR monitoring 13 years ago. I recently

Coconut oil
As I haven't been able to eat wheat, barley, oats and rye since developing coeliac disease I have been exploring other types of nutrition. This is not just to vary my diet but to try and give me a healthy boost and try and stay on the path of feeling well and reasonably satisfied and nourished. Some

Lacey was diagnosed with Autoimmune Liver Disease last year.
In June last year my eldest daughter Lacey became jaundice, I took her to the GPs who contacted the local hospital and they said to take her straight in. So I did. We spent an awful night at the hospital with them running test after test on her and getting no straight answers. What we didn't know was

What affects your INR level when taking Coumadin/Warfarin?
I know that vitamin K and spinach are no-no's. What else might affect it? I'm new and learning! Thanks! :)Michelle in CA

Vitamin D deficiency
There have been several articles in the last few days mentioning the concerns of increasing numbers of people especially children that are feared will present with vitamin D deficiency in the coming months. People get the majority of their vitamin D through sunlight which converts the cholesterol found

Can anyone feel blood clots moving in their body?
My husband has APS, diagnosed in 2007 when I walked in after he'd had a TIA, couldn't talk & was numb on one side. He had PE's & lost 1/3 of his lung. Since then he has always felt clots go through his lungs, which are very painful, & has had more TIA's despite taking Warfarin. April 1, 2011, he felt

Do people often have to receive blood transfusions?
It is my husband who is afflicted with Hughes/APS. He seems to be getting progressively weaker, and requiring more transfusions. Though I am an R.N - the information is still not out there. His hematologist lets his Hgb drop to 8.5 before they transfuse him, and it seems to help for a few days, then

Has anyone tried a natural approach
Hi all, I am new to the group, been on warfarin for about a year and a half - and had a bleeding ulcer a few months back. I am now thinking that I might like to try it "au natural." My internal medicine doc said my 2nd test results, were lower than the first ones, and maybe have been done while I was

Anybody gone from warfarin back to fragmin?
I am wondering whether to ask if I can try going back to fragmin alone. I have been on warfarin for 6 years and right now it is driving me nuts. I think I am in peri menopause and my INR changes everyday. So I am always testing and adjusting my doses. And actually I really want to be able to eat foods

My APS caused multiple TIAs which resulted in me being wrongly diagnosed with postnatal psychosis.
OK – here’s the quick version: Found out I have APS after a stroke when my son was barely 7 weeks old. Had been misdirected to a mental health facility where they treated me the dangerous atypical antipsychotic olanzpine. The Committee on Safety Of Medicines issued a statement in 2005 which

Warfarin Cause Calcification of Arteries?
Hey all! Have any of your doctors informed you of the risks of warfarin? I just came upon some informaiton regarding the impact of warfarin on the arteries. Essentially, warafin contributes to calcification because it acts against vitamin K, which has a protective impact. Additionally, it

Pottasium Levels
Morning all, Has anyone else got problems keeping their pottasium levels up? My GP is considering putting me on Slow-K for a while to try and solve it because mine seem to run chronically low, and when I go into hospital end up needing IV K. Apparently this is quite common side effect of quite a few

Vitamin K
Does vitamin K make a difference to how you fee,l even if you are not on warfarin. I am asking because before I had my life saving Heart attack and was put on anticoagulants. I noticed that some days I was much more muddled headed. I was only on Asprin Love Karen xx
