- This video is about Natural 'Blood thinners' for Afib. In this video, i talk about some natural blood thinners like Garlic, Ginger, Nattokwinase, Hawthorn, Motherwort etc and why i would not recommend them as an alternative to warfarin or the NOACs in patients with Afib
You did not mention the side effects from medications where there is practically none from natural stuff I think the test needs to be done despite the big medicine companies.
He did explain that in another video, that’s not the topic of this video.
Long story short: anticoagulants aren’t recommended for people who’s risk of bleeding is lower than the risk of blood clotting that results to strokes.
Thanks for the information - my spouse takes Eliquis because she is Afib. I take aspirin because I had a stroke from which I recovered completely. Eliquis is really expensive even though it's been on the market long enough to face a generic competitor. The primary manufacturer bought the generic competitor out so now we are faced with entering the coverage gap indefinitely on. Medicare Part D. I understand your point but am still paying thousands per year because the manufacturer is preventing generic competition.
that should be illegal. There is nothing better and cheaper to take? My doctor recommended against Eliquis. Glad for that after your story.
Because money is more important to them than your health
Eliquis is the Rolls Royce of blood thinners. No purple skin like aspirin.
Doctor, you have an amazing gift for explaining complicated issues in a clear, concise and orderly way. May God Bless you and your family!❤😊
My doctor screamed at me "do you want to have a stroke" ? when I said I wanted to go with some natural things. This wasn't explained to me like this doctor.
look into low carb high fat. Dr. Jason Fung
@@teresagerlach4185 While a wonderful and very healthy way to eat, it doesn't have any tests proving it will reduce stroke for those with AFib!
l take meds,took 3mos 2 kick in.Thank God. plus l lose 20 pds. No, soda,coffee, fast food. must walk DAILY. Praises The Lord
You're my AFib Doctor, Sanjay. I rely on you for information, advice and reassurance. You are so well informed with excellent communication skills and a simple and warm rapport with people - so important for a doctor. You've got it, Doc, and the looks to go with it - very handsome indeed!
Hello dear dr.Sanjay. Little reminder for everyone - the best blood thinners are papain ( papaya), bromelain ( pine apple), nattokinase. Fruits ( on an empty stomach) and ginger are good for those who has no problems with the oesophagus/ stomach/duodenum
How much of each fruit daily? Or just eat often?
I appreciate how you explain things in a way that is easier to understand. Thank you!
I am a recent subscriber to your videos. They have been a great help to me as a new AF patient. Please keep up the good work. Your explanations are very thorough and lucid.
Are you taking the blood thinners ?
Thanks for the balanced perspective Sanjay!😀
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this aspect of heart health. I have been wondering about this for years. God Bless you.
you are a blessing,more doctors should follow your leed,thank you so much from toronto,canada
did you know that warfarin is a rat poison?
Love Learning Languages my dr. Broke that to me as a joke when I told him u ran out of it. He asked why I didn’t go buy some emergency rat poison- ha
Warfarin IS NOT RAT POISON. Warfarin/Coumadin comes from Coumarin aka Turmeric. Look it up!
It's not a poison at all. In fact it is used to kill rats by anti coagulating them and causing hemorrhaging because they will overdose with it. Your dog or cat could mistakenly eat it and not die. In the USA poisons are illegal to sell and use to kill animals because people might use them to kill other people instead.
Yes I did.
It sure is
Thanks for taking time to make this videos and share your knowledge and perspectives.
Thank you again,Doc!all your videos gives me a very high understanding about my case of being a heart patient..before i have a lots of question about my sick but now you slowly answered all of this,because of all your videos made..thank you!thank you☺
When you are on these drugs, you are restricted from eating so many healthy, anti inflammatory super foods. People would be better off taking a holistic approach, not focus one one thing, clotting.
You can eat anything with xarelto I have been on it 4 years.
That’s only when you’re on Warfarin. Xarelto and eliquis allows you to eat anything.
Update. My husband had a bad hematoma from taking warfarin and spent 2 months in the hospital learning to talk and walk again. His doctors changed his medicine and he is doing great. He has no diet restrictions on this medication. We are so happy he is off warfarin.
He gives a very logical explanation of why natural anticoagulants are not investigated and falls back on the old defence that large scale double blind studies are necessary, etc, etc, blah, blah. It is certainly true that the cost of such studies prevents competitors to existing drugs from entering the market. So bad treatments can force out the good. There imply needs to be a better way
instead of saying 'there needs to a better way blah blah blah' why dont you show us the better way.....
THANK YOU for your in-depth analysis of AFib/stroke prevention medications & natural remedies. Your info is helpful & very much appreciated !!!
I learn SO much from these videos. Now I know the difference between anticoagulants (Warfarin) and anti-platelet (Aspirin). I'm a BIG believer in natural medicine and regular vitamin / mineral supplementation but I am willing to learn from someone who is more knowledgeable than I. Dr. Gupta presents both sides of the discussion and reaches a most logical conclusion BASED ON REAL SCIENCE. Furthermore, Dr. Gupta reveals the need for there to be funding for the health benefits of natural substances (i.e. a tax on pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, which goes 100% to labs and research companies doing these studies).
There are other thinners you can research: tocotrienols, pine bark, rutin and nattokinase.
Super explanation! thank you so much for your detailed explanation! I always receive similar questions from lots of people.
I could not agree more! After an earlier pulmonary embolism at 80 years, my doctor advised me to change from warfarin to aspirin despite my misgivings, this nearly killed me within a year when I came down unconscious in a public place and had to be promptly treated with heparin, etc. Have now been on Pradaxa for about 10 years without problems.
Great discussion. Couple of questions? First when you state patients with AFIB, are you talking about constant AFIB or Paroxysmal AFIB? Regardin aspirin, what dose, 81mg? Lastly would you prescribe patients with PAFIB, NOACs and ASA 81mg? Thank for all the work you do to educate all of us!!
You explained it very well ! I can tell you really care .
Thank you for your very timely and clarifying information - very helpful with all the world’s emphasis on natural remedies.
You are the best doctor out there on TH-cam.. You can't imagine the positive impact of your videos on patients from around the world.. respect!
Yes! I agree!
Dr. Berg and "motivationaldoc" are both also good youtube doctors. Check them out! ♡
@@simplyput5615 Dr. Berg rocks!
Your are too good Doc. I am very happy to find you on you tube !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't vitamin E a blood thinner? And what is it's affect on coagulation factors?
Rational and informative. Thank you.
Hi Doc, on the bottle of Nattokinase it says it fibrin degradation and healthy plasmon production..What does that mean
This video makes so much sense! Thank you Dr.! 😊
Such an easy and coherent way of understanding the reason we are prescribed the many medicines we take every day. Many thanks to Dr Sanjay !
Studies are paid for by PIG PARMA
DON’T trust!
I’m glad you mentioned the pharmacy aspect of it. It makes them no $$$
great video. thanks
Thank you Dr. Gupta, I am researching how to help a special friend who was just diagnosed with Afib. I've learned so much from your videos on the topic and I hope that the information I gather helps him.
How very kind ..thank you so much!
@@YorkCardiology great video wow! is it safe to take a low dose of Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo biloba even if someone in the family has had a ruptured vein stroke many years ago (7 to be exact & never had another one)??
I love your videos :) As a nurse who works with pre- and postop heart surgery patients I feel like I'm still learning a lot by watching your videos. Thank you! And another good news is that for 1.5 week I almost haven't had any ectopics! I don't know if it's thanks to magnesium that I take, but I'm just SO happy! :) I really hope it stays that way
@@binanocht6110Thankyou so much for sharing your experience! So glad you are feeling better!😊
Very informative! Thanks much!
You explained that so well ,Thsnk You
You are exactly right - I had a family member who had bad internal bleeding issues because someone told them to drink turmeric daily. These herbal compounds need to studied more with large groups
So bad to give incomplete information.
@@masterkey6596 who are you talking to???
I love turmeric it is great for my digestion. Too much water can drown a person...does that make water bad?😅
I had internal bleeding from eliquis and had to have 2 blood transfusions. Medicines are just money makers for doctors and pharmaceutical companies.
What about studying group of people who already eat a diet high in turmeric etc that have had atrial fibrillation who decline blood thinners?
Thanks for the info doc I have a question do you recommend warfarin for people with protein C deficiency thanks 🙏
Dr Gupta, I have difficulty finding the answer to my question, which is does an ablation for a patient with no comorbidities increase lifespan and/or reduce risks? can you do a video on that topic?
Thank you for this explanation.
If you have afib but rarely, is it OK to take 15mg Xarelto AND Smarter Nutrition Curcumin to help arthritis symptoms without getting a bleed?
No two people have the same diet or lifestyle, yet people are prescribed same medication with no specific variation
Thank you so much for your easy to understand information, I have really enjoyed your you tube channel!
How very kind ..thank you so much!
If you are taking eliquis can you stop taking it if you so wish
Wonderful talk with clear explanation about a complex subject thank you.
Thank you so much for this information!
I realize this is an older video, and don't know if Eliquis was even around 4 yrs ago, but I'm taking Eliquis. So far so good. If I didn't get old, and things didn't fall apart, in spite of my best efforts, I'd rather not take any medicine. I am glad there is testing, and hope this is the best choice for me. If I have a choice between having a stroke, and not, I'd prefer not to have one, so thanks for explaining this. It helps me to accept it a little better. You're a peach.
at $600 a month for Eliquis you must have a good insurance program
@@robtempe I'm paying $170 / mo via Pt D thru I believe Aetna-
Hello doctor I want to know if I need to take calcium supplement along side magnesium taurate? I also have bought vitamin d3 5000 iu which I have not taken. how many supplement do I need to take along side magnesium taurate?
My GP said aspirin would never be passed today due to its effects.
my cardiologist just told me to take baby aspiring. what side effects?
Aspirin would never be passed today because it has so many effects and the company bringing it to market would need to test it and show results for ALL those effects and that's not viable.
TREAT SYMPTOMS WE NEED A CURE!
Hi doc I'm 57 and I have afib first attack was 3 years ago I had 2 more within a year after being in hospital for 5 days every test all they said was I had lil bit low mag levels not to bad I was put on Xelralto took it for 5 months it made me feel bad and they found blood In my urine then I needed dental work done so doc took me off for the time being with in a day or 2 I was feeling like my old self again so after dental work I disided not to take it any more I went another year without any problems last week out of the blue I went into afib again 2 hours in ER a shot and I was back to normal rythem doc says he wants me back on the Blood thinners I did the chadvas test I scored 0 and I'm thinking on trying something natural like Nattokwinase, I take omega 3's I eat pretty healthy I'm a little heavy but trying to lose it I worried about taking something that makes me feel so bad but don't want a stroke do you have any advice for me thank you for ur time
Wow...I'm reading four years later. I also don't like blood thinner...had episode last summer...after fine for two years. On propranolol. So how have you done?
Hi, How are you doing now? I really hope you're okay? Are you taking natural blood thinners now?
What about the restriction of vitamin rich vegetables which accompanies the adinistration of warfarin ? Does quality of life become limited by the endless lab visits inevitable when 90y+ year old patients take Warfarin ?
Thank you for answering all my heart questions. Afib here.
Thanks for these videos. What do you think about a vegan diet with almost no oil to prevent heart disease?
Dr.
What are your thoughts on fasting while taking xarelto. Thank yoy
Great video as usual, thank you.
I'm sorry, nothing against you, but I don't trust Drs not working for big pharma. I would try one of the medications if the list of symptoms wasn't so long! Warfarin was too complicated for me to take since I had to be in continual contact with a medical professional. (This was when I had knee surgery) A-fib concern. I think I'll take my chances with ginger, turmeric & low dose aspirin. Thank you for your information, sir. 🤷
I suffer why Raynards but have never been diagnosed by a GP, I first noticed this when I was 14 when I started boxing. As the years have gone on a ride a motorbike and having cold hands and feet are a no no especially the hands, I wear winter motorbike gloves in the summertime on my motorbike, on December the 29th 2020 I tested positive for covid but didn’t have no symptoms so did the isolation for 10 days that has no passed, as I had no symptoms I contacted my local blood centre to see if I could help with using my platelets. I have had a pack from medichecks with 3 little pens to extract my blood from my fingers to put in a blood test tube, my problem is I have used all three needle pens to pierce my fingers to get the blood out as soon as I did if I had 1 of 2 drops of blood then it turned into thick blood which would no drip at all I could shake my finger and the blood stayed there just wobbling like jelly. So any advice please would be very helpful
I am on warfarin at present. Very informative. Thank you doctor.
Wonderful, sincere, highly erudite
We all love you for taking care of patients and their questions! Thank you for your time and for providing us with so much information! Heartfelt, ;)! But what about Sintrom and dementia and the new generation 'blood thinners' and stomach bleeds?
Why not NATTOKINASE? I take that and 6 Kyolic Garlic 102.
Will Big Pharma ever let Xerelto be sold as a generic in the USA? The price is riduculus even with insurance.
Amen to that very expensive
AGGREGATE VS CLOTTING... what's the diff??
Thank you for explaining! ❤😎
So you have any information on superior saggital thrombosis? Are the risk the same as AFib?
If you cannot trial a herbal medication that you are not sure works, therefore a new medication is the same. The only difference is the potential financial rewards of that patented medication, as herbal medications cannot be patented.
Hey Doc, you stated I give you a drug to treat the "symptom". Perhaps treating the cause sounds better. If we only treat the symptom we(patients) are subject to spending a life time on drugs. If many drugs are synthetic and are part of natural supplements it makes no sense the use of natural supplement would be detrimental. Pharmacy companies have no deserve to supplement their manufactured drugs with something like garlic. All you do here is make the case for staying on drugs. JMT
Love you Dr. Sanjay Gupta...thank you for your channel.... 🤗👍🏻😘❤️
thanks Patti!!
@@YorkCardiology great video wow! is it safe to take a low dose of Nature’s Bounty Ginkgo biloba even if someone in the family has had a subarachnoid hemorrhage stroke many years ago (7 to be exact & never had another one)??
Thanks a ton Dr Sanjay Gupta
I am from extreme North East of India Manipur state. Thanks a ton for your message.
I have SSS. Dr Gandhi cardiologist in Mumbai and Dr KK Seth in Delhi adviced me Telsartan. Blood thinners. Do I need to take it for life time or do I have a choice please Dr Sir
So what does it mean if your heart rate spikes quickly during exercise? I did a stress echo and my doctor said the only thing that she didn't like was how quickly my heart rate went up shortly after starting the test. I'm a fit guy. Could this just mean I'm not as in shape as I thought I was?
My cardiologist changed
My blood thinners from warfarin to pradaxa and lately ben feeling very dizzy can't drive and also feel too much pressure in my brain.
Thanks..
Any advice......
My issue is that DOAC medication has led to severe PR bleeds requiring hospital admission on three occasions across 18 months. Two requiring blood transfusion and several days in hospital. This is because I have pan diverticulitis. I was recommended Revroxaban and then Apixaban. On the occasions of hospital admission I recorded very low blood pressure in the ambulance owing to the bleed which instigated an AFib event recorded on the ECG monitor. I’d been OK prior to the bleed. I don’t have high blood pressure or any other comorbidity Ie. Diabetes or weight problems. My incidence of paroxysmal AFib has reduced to virtually zero through lifestyle changes, diet etc. I’m now 70. I wonder if the statistical analysis of the vulnerable populations takes in smokers, the overweight and obese and diabetic samples with express co- morbidity. If the bleed triggers an AFib event then I’m playing one symptom against another… I’d value your prognosis.
Very interesting explanations regarding anticoagulants etc. Thank you. Warfarin, the rat bait drug is pretty natural, isn't it?
Does vitamine work as anticouagulants !
can i take ginger with my medivation for heart and hiblood?
all the nutritionist say that cayenne and garlic great at breaking up clots and it kept me off the table when I was younger---cleared my arteries out ---I went form in my thirties with blockage ---took cayenne ---did test again ---doctor said I would live a long time --very little calcium present---this was done in my mid 50s ---later I backed off cayenne trouble started ---went back on it ---saved my ass
Thanks
wish I had stayed on cayenne
Excellent and detailed info on this subject. It took approximately 10 minutes to explain this in fairly simple terms thank-you. You make an excellent teacher/professor. I'm currently taking low dose aspirin(81mg) and Clopidogrel (75mg) once daily as recommended by my doctor. I haven't had any issues to this point but is this combination considered overkill or not?
Steve Harris : Really ? No side effects from Clopidogrel aka Plavix..? No random bruises, no tinnitus, dizziness..? Scary product.
I regret having stents, & being prescribed Big Selling Clopidogrel.
Read on this channel, of the dangers, especially of withdrawal from use. Good luck, get better. Cheers
@@jimebbage Guess I've been lucky so far. I don't necessarily trust big pharma or for that matter most doctors either but 8 months in and so far so good(touching wood;) I did have some nasty shortness of breath experiences with Brilinta though before I switched over. Nasty stuff.
Thankyou for this information x
In the clinical trial of Xarelto, which I assume was compared to Warfarin and/or a placebo, was it with at risk participans?
Jake Thompson, good question. I have lung clots and was put on Xarelto in the hospital. I researched this drug when I got home. Did you know there are several class action lawsuits on this medication? Also I have kidney and liver problems and on the drug sheet it states that this drug is not for everyone especially with the issues I have. I just don’t trust the medical elites.
what food do i eat while on blood thinning drug. thanks
Thank you so much for the clear explanations and sharing your knowledge with us.
Dr.Gupta, i had a stroke afew months ago i learned that I had atrial fibrillation but also hyperthyroid never had any heart problems before. I am now on eliquis, was on nexium the cost is extremly expensivehere in usa. I am still waiting for thyroid to become more normal. Do you think i would have to allways be on the blood thinner ?
excellent work Dr. gupta 😊, your video is helping many peoples lives and improving the quality of life for many , your work is truly amazing.
Hi Dr.Gupta.
Well Im really impressed the way you explain about each problem in details , which unfortunately, most Physicians/M.S / or any other Doctor's usually donot do so ...reasons being that one is 'still' anxious to know about the Answers to our queries left unsolved !Thanks so hmuch in givingtimw & info about All the Topics You Discuss ,Well done ,May God Bless You for your 'Noble Cause! '
Could you Also come up with a discussion in Aspirin/or other blood thinning medicines..Can Females take it after menopause /Hysterectomy,If so..Then what to do if Aspirins /co crelated ingredients donot suit as it causes GERD,or if it causes bleeding in stomach ,nose etc...So What could one do /take to get another effective & a safer way for blood thinning! Thsnks once again!
My husband was on blood thinners for years and had numerous strokes!
Hi, Were you referring to natural blood thinners? Or was your husband on prescription anticoagulant medication? Cheers
Excellent.
Why are the names of tablets so complicated and some tablets have more than one name
Thanks for this info
Thank you. Very helpful and informative to an AFibber.
What about L.citrulline and ethill l. carnitine and niacin?
Dr sanjay gupta sir very well explained the point at issue thanks 20/04/2021
I have started taking Xarelto 20mg daily due to DVT and hate it. It has caused so many side effects on me like heavy menstrual bleeding, stomach pain, gastritis and dark urine! I cannot take it anymore. How can you help me?
Dark urine shows it's affecting your liver! Be Sure to tell your doctor about it right away! I also take xarelto, but haven't experienced any negative side effects that I am aware of. I take it because of having AFib.
If you have DVT it's important that you do something to safe-guard yourself from stroke. Perhaps your doctor can switch you to a different blood-thinner that doesn't react so negatively with your body chemistry?
Perfect explanation, hope my crdlgst listens, has me om aspirin and I take turmeric, garlic and ginger besides, thank you.
I am 60 years old and use nattokanise and turmeric. I used aspirin at one point- then had to put in a pacemaker for brady. I was running and exercising daily. Total betrayal-right?! So whatever i was using - I discarded for alternatives. Still mad!!!
Thank you
Such a study will never happen. The pharmaceutical companies would never support anything that could potentially remove money from their pockets and patients for life.
thankyou for your information ,
Dr. Gupta. Thank you for our kindness and expertise. There has been talk about drug shortages in the U.S. I think to myself what would I take that is natural in case there is a shortage of antiplatelets in an emergency.
