Dr. Dhand, is there such a diet that naturally thins the blood?
Thank you for doing this very informative video. Dr Dhand could you please tell us a little about the reversal of anticoagulant therapy should a patient suffer a bleed? Is it true that Warfarin can be reversed by VitK but the newer oral anticoagulants can not?
Is there any info WHY the rates of this are increasing? Despite the fact I've been eating a healthy whole food plant based diet and have reversed a lot of chronic ailments, I ended up in the ER with A-fib! in just in the last few years in my small circle, my brother, myself, my son, a close friend, and a cousin have all been diagnosed with episodes, which really troubles me as to WHY?
@@CharGC123 Are you fully jabbed....look in that direction.

They told us over and over not to take horse dewormer but rat poison is OK
Excellent point😮
yup. In June 2022, I took the cow ivermectin. Severe covid symptoms began dissipating within 6 hours. That stuff is amazing.
@@DodgeownerI agree and I keep getting new tubes, just to be ready for the next crazy event
@@cbagotwe take care of our food, water, a healthy environment, detox through fasting and besides a change of season sniffle nothing. Bring in the stress now there’s an immune killer.
Love it!!!
My husband had a heart attack 6 weeks ago. They placed a stent and immediately put him on blood thinners. 3 days out of the hospital his pressure dives dramatically, he looses consciousness. Turned out he had stomach ulcers that were bleeding for three days. The blood loss caused a 2nd heart event. After a transfusion and 2 additional weeks in the hospital he's alive.

For God's sake stay well away from any medication for blood thinning or anything to do with BP Statins are appalling look it up!
Omgosh how scary for you both! I’m so glad he made it through.
miracle
What a nightmare. I am sorry Subygirl . You have and are going thru so much
My dad had a mild stroke over a year ago. In hospital they gave him Eliquis and a 30 day supply, plus a prescription for after the 30 days. I took him to have it filled and it was going to be $800.00 per month. Needless to say he can't afford it. He is 86 years old and we along with his doctor opted to not take a blood thinner other that low dose aspirin. The price of new pharmaceuticals is off the charts. 😡
That is one reason why my partner who is on blood thinners due to Deep Vein Thrombosis continues to take warfarin. It is incredibly affordable. He doesn't want to go on the more expensive drug and then find that he can't get it for affordability reasons. I'm surprised they did not allow him to take the warfarin for a short time but perhaps warfarin has a longer period of time before it starts working or perhaps they didn't want to have him coming in for testing every 2-4 weeks.
I have been on Eliquis for a few years now and was appalled at the price - but I searched out Canadian or offshore pharmacies (I use Life Rx Pharmacy now) and I pay about $35 per month! Quite a difference.
@@puggirl415 low dose asprin does same thing....cheap....no pathology $$$ involved
My father had severe stroke. Eliquis dramatically increased in price, so looked up and it was only one suggested w kidney issues. Which he developed as well. So stuck with it.
Also tried Mg supplements for the afib but he didn't do well w digestion.
That’s a real shame and part of the pharmaceutical deception, the corporate food pyramid, poison our food and water then wonder why is everyone sick. I’ve taught my kids prevention is better than cure, stay away from unnaturally processed food and water then you’ve won 80% of the battle. Real fats, unrefined salt, organic fruit and veg since when did real nutrition harm us. I’m sorry my Dads had strokes too I plan on not going that way.
Doctors want us to be on blood pressure lowering meds, blood thinning meds, anti depressants, cholesterol lowering meds, and meds to control diabetes, arthritis or some other auto immune disorder. What can possibly go wrong? If I take a single occasional dose of PDE5 inhibitor I immediately have these issues: headache, stuffy nose, pain in my back, arms and legs, blurry vision, ringing in the ears, and indigestion. Why does every medication do more harm than good?
Sadly, modern medicine is destroying our health. Almost everyone is on antidepressants nowadays - handed out like candy!!
Dollars for doc. Tors .look it up
I agree . Watching my soul mate battle breast cancer. I realized the drs meant well. However it was just a business making $$$ off the sickness.
Done so with intent.
No question whatsoever in my well validated opinion developed over 40 + years of dealing with the Business of Medicine.
Sickness is good for their business model, and they and the Food Industry create patients in a never ending cycle.
What could ever go wrong?😮
Thanks you Doctor. Aussie Bob 😊
I’m thankful that I don’t have to take any medications. It pays to live a healthy lifestyle
Oh yes it does! Keep it up
And have good genes.
You are 100% right. So many illnesses could be avoided if everyone looked after themselves. We have, however, been bombarded with wrong advice and recommendations by leading bodies that have done so much harm. My mum still thinks low fat is good (she doesn't understand good fats), she insists that we need plenty of carbs and she trusts the doctors 😧
Then, how did you end up watching this video about blood thinners? Shouldn't you be watching cooking shows?
@@sactopyrshepwhich parent are you playing roulette with, that’s rubbish, genes are a blueprint we change that blueprint through how we live our lives, RNA changes DNA I would say that’s more roulette.
Thank you being a doctor who cares about a person’s health and not about $. I wish we had more doctors like you.
Female, 68yrs old, recently diagnosed with Afib. Not going to take blood thinners. Probably have a stroke but that will be up to God! Thank you for your information on it.
Look at lifestyle changes. Garlic has blood thinning properties I think.
If you think your strokes were up to God, then you are worshiping the wrong God.
@7:40 Listen to that part again. And again. You would not like drooling, peeing on yourself, having to use a cane or wheelchair - or looking fine but lost critical cognitive abilities including your judgment, common sense, ability reason and remember things. For example giving away all your money to a phone scammer who promises a great investment deal or romance if you invest or help him, and you end up penniless and living in a tent under a bridge but are so far gone you don't know it. Not all strokes attack the body, some attack the mind. God uses us to help each other, so use the good advice of your doctors so you can enjoy your golden years.
Family member had a stroke a year ago; otherwise very, very healthy before then and since then. Took meds as prescribed by doctor for a while. Did not like the idea of having 'drug' dependence so self-weaned after just a few months. Now taking only supplements and seemingly perfect health has returned with no side effects whatsoever. We all feel like God healed him and that the stroke was due to multiple stresses that came along almost simultaneously. It is possible that a diet change for you or supplements or some other type of care as directed by a holistic doctor will be all that you need. Consider this possibility before taking any drastic measures one way or the other.
I have 6 stents I take 1 baby aspirin ( 81 mg) and ginko baloba.
I'm shocked that this was the subject of the video today. I just met my best friend for lunch today and he had just been diagnosed with that heart condition. He asked if I would take the blood thinners and I told him I don't know enough about it. I'm sending this video to him in hopes it will help him make a decision. Thank you Dr. Dhand!
I know this is off topic, but I have arthritis in my shoulder. Instead of taking meds which were offered to me, I declined. I have been taking Tumeric supplements and within a couple weeks my shoulder no longer hurts.
Beautiful! Thanks for your anecdote. ❤
Well...Turmeric is a blood thinner. So you are on topic after all:) Turmeric works great for the aches and pains of arthritis. It worked for me for a while. Eventually I was bruising too much so had to stop taking turmeric for a while. Then I went on the carnivore diet and all my arthritis pain went away. That was unexpected.
Find out about reducing inflammation through your diet, fasting is a great reset for the body as well. Rebounder exercise for women is the best exercise and swimming of course. Keep going, Barbara ONeill is fantastic.
Take blood thinners, fall down hit head, brain bleed. Risk of falling is greater in the elderly. Husband died from brain bleed.
This is why it is important to continually control dosages. Regular INRs work to keep your blood clotting in correct parameters.
My father took the synthetic ones with no antidote and he died of a bleed on the brain.
Garlic is a natural blood thinner I think.
Hello Dr we are in Thailand my husband had a heart attack ( on the table after severe indigestion all day) about 10 yrs ago, no damage and no restrictions afterwards. The usual meds for 4-6 months then we requested no more as he was unable to function. The statins were the worse. The Dr agreed. ( this was in San Diego) then Last yr a a check up here in Thailand had the echo done and nothing serious there. Yet the cardiologist we saw prescribed 4 different meds and a very strong blood thinner. My husband and I play singles tennis eat 85% whole food diet stretch regularly etc. BP is good though at that time is was a bit high 134/70 it is usually 128/70. We were shocked at the load of drugs given. We refused them and never went back. It was one of the most prestigious government hospitals here in Bangkok. He would have been worse off had he taken the meds prescribed Thank you for you time
The docs in Thailand give too many meds and do not explain them unless you go to a private doc at a private clinic or hospital.
Can you take natural blood thinners.
Thank you Dr. I’m 71 and need to hear this. Bless you
My dad had Afib and was on Coumadin. Later on, he developed a brain abscess which was misdiagnosed as a stroke. The double edge sword here is they needed to remove the abscess but in order to do surgery, they had to thicken his blood. Can you see where we're headed here?
The surgery was a success but 2 weeks later, he had a brainstem stroke and was paralyzed from the neck down with a feeding tube. Clots of course formed when they stopped the blood thinner for surgery. He passed 6 weeks later. In his case, it was a blessing because, I know wouldn't have wanted to live years like that. He was 79.
🎉try cayenne pepper under tongue.helps with chast pain
There seem to be many other factors and illnesses as well as deficiencies that produce AFib. Two doctors have tried to pressure me into using the blood thinners. Eventually I gave in but within a month I was convinced that it was making me very ill. It took over another month for the drugs to clear out of my body. I have explained to them that the possibility that I have my family disease ( a rare form of pernicious anemia) that produces not only the AFib , but also the lack of feeling firstly in extremities and then a complete take over of the body and brain. I cannot get the diagnosis treatment I need because the doctors are so obsessed with stroke. Although my Grandfather and Mother both died eventually from the disease and I have several cousins with it, no one has had strokes. My Mother came to live with us when we moved from England (where she was treated successfully for years) but the doctors refused to believe her English doctors diagnosis and treatment and gave her only a panacea because obviously they thought her obsessive. My father tried to defend her but she did not get the correct medication. I am still angry and I hope to move to Europe where I may get proper treatment before it is too late. Blood thinners are not for everyone .
Dr. Dhand . I have followed you since the pandemic. Your insight and wisdom is a Blessing. Thank You Sir! You are a True Professional!👍
Thanks John for your kind words! Appreciate you watching
@@drsuneeldhand Wow. Dr I appreciate the response. I am on apixaban. Thank You Sir !🚴🏜️
I agree. Dr. Dhand is a gem. Most doctors, including the ones I just encountered as I was hospitalized recently, were just retreading the out-of-date information. I could hardly blame them, as they were swamped with patients and their families. How could they have time to investigate the latest studies and research? They were just following the orders handed down to them from the big "associations" that are in cahoots with the big pharmas. The hospital higher-ups don't want to get in trouble, so they rather stick to the old protocols, and just make money through more procedures and prescriptions!
Moldy sweet clover hay contains Coumadin.. if fed to cows at calving time they risk bleeding to death...if not moldy it's fine
You misspelled plandemic. 😊
After forced jab by threats of losing a 20+ yr career within 3 days if not complying (detective California ) husband congestive heart failure, AFIB, ejection fraction 25%.. after 5 days in the hospital and no medications working they did cardioversion.. Dr wouldn’t even discuss prognosis when asked , just that the procedure will work for some time.. but afib will come back 😏
he’s only 41 yrs old…
Before the jab he was an athlete, marathon runner, unbelievable pitcher.. now can barely walk to the mailbox without being out of breath sounding like he’s having an asthma attack 😠
😢
Magnesium glycinate, potassium and d-ribose for chf and ejection fraction. I take 3700mg of potassium a day and 15mg of dribose a day broken up in 5mg 3x a day
Crime against humanity what they did.
@@paulasusan63 thank you I’ll look into this! 🤗
I understand that Warfarin was designed to kills rats BY thinning their blood so much that they suffer systemic haemorrhaging.
Rat poison. What can go wrong with that 😮 ? Sarcasm off
Guess what's in vitamin D.
Ironically if rats eat a smaller amount,they can cure themselves of heart issues…if only they knew.
You're correct about the history of Coumadin (warfarin) but it's closely monitored with frequent labwork to assure that it's at a therapeutic level.
Fluoride also used in rat poison.
I went to have a Ultrsound today at the hospital. They wanted to scan my palm for checking in . This is nuts
You are speaking truth!
NYU hospitals in Brooklyn, NY use the hand/biometric scan as a check in!
Good thing it is optional!
I go to the front desk and check in with a Human Being!
Omg!
They really wanted to scan your wallet. 🤑
@@glennso47
That is hilariously a good one!
Do not comply
Great job. From this terrible experience the last 4 years to the emerging of a new breed of doctors who are truely educating us!
Maybe the jab.
Definitely my downfall 😢
i have AFIB. I am sure it was the jab.
I had the jab that fitted my body chemistry even though I had to wait in self imposed quarantine until it arrived. I am 66 and feel fine.
Thank you Dr Suneed
May God continue protecting you and your family
I was prescribed one of the early stations for high cholesterol in the late 80's. I was slim & toned by having a good dirt & exercising. The Staton caused weakness of my muscles & loss of stamina. At that time there were no inserts with warnings or side effects in the military system. I still have familial hyperlipidemia. I'm 73 next month & have heart failure. If I had never taken the statin, I feel I would have continued to be healthy.
recent study in healthy adults- their troponin levels were checked before and after intense exercise after they had been administered statins, their troponin levels were normal beforehand but showed marked increase after exercise, indicating heart muscle damage
Warfarin has only a 1.95% absolute risk reduction with its nasty side effects... but is sold based on being 95% (relative risk reduction) better than aspirin. It's sad when there are no honest discussions about absolute risk reduction vs. relative risk reduction and the fact that side effects have a greater chance to show the longer someone is on a medication.
Sure for Afib. What about warfarin for DVT. Is it a different risk assessment? Could someone with DVT get away with aspirin for their condition.
@@puggirl415 yes...im proof....5yrs now....half 300mg aspirin a day
@@puggirl415 it is still 1.95% absolute risk reduction. Better than Aspirin by 95%... but at the end of the day, less than 2% benefit.
Interesting comment.
Aspirin can thin blood but it doesn't stop clots from forming. that is what an anticoagulant like Warfarin does.
Atrial fibrillation has been connected to sleep apnea. My mom suffered with chronic afib for decades. She was on warfarin, which is extremely difficult to manage. Her balance was poor and she was a fall risk. This was a contraindication for warfarin. It is a difficult road … God’s blessings to all who suffer with afib.
Magnesium and potassium has helped me greatly. Plus research D-Ribose for heart issues. Dr Eric Berg has a video on it as do others....
This is why it is important to continually control dosages. Regular INRs work to keep your blood clotting in correct parameters.
Thanks,Dr.Dhand from Australia.👍🏼
No mention of nattokinase.
wonder why afib is becoming more common....🤔
Hmmmmmm....the medical intervention couldn't possibly have anything to do with it.
Maybe the jab.

Maybe what is put in our food. 🤔
@@bethannhunt4695 l think it’s both
If you have had a stroke, like I did 2 years ago and you don't take one of the newer blood thinners like Eloquis, I suggest you establish an exercise routine that includes HIT so you can build heart strength. I have AFIB and don't take anything accept nattokinase and suffered very little from the ischemic stroke, I was lucky. But, I don't skip healthy eating and cook my own food ( don't eat in restaurants) and don't skip my daily exercise. Of course I am still young, 82 and don't have many friends, their all dead. Pretend that you are your body, how would you like to be treated??
i have started to research Nattokinase. It seems to be very good and a damn site cheaper, and probably safer than Eliquis.
Your experience is my decision, thank you Dr. Dhand!
I am a 69 year old man with afib. Several doctors have wanted me to start an anticoagulant. After reviewing my CHA2DS2-VASC score and my HAS BLED score, I have a much higher risk of a major bleed on an anticoagulant than my risk of a stroke without an anticoagulant. I told my doctor and he told me I'm not supposed to know about that.
Where did you get or find your scores? I never heard of those.
@@cathyann6835 Just google them and you'll find them. Enter the info is asks for and get your score.
Higher vitamin d levels lessen clot problems, higher omega 3 levels lessen clot problems.
Warfarin use leads to white matter shrinkage and myelin thinning.
Dr Dhand is the best around and so honest.
Im on supplements like NAC, Bromelain and Nattocanase after those dangerous procedures.
At least i woke up and been doing research and protocols now.

I got Afib from the Covid booster. Confirmed by my local pcp and my cardiologist at MGH. Never had Afib prior to the booster. Now on Eliquis.
i believe other people did too

me too. I knew it was a mistake to have that bloody vaccine.
Very good information. Pre-pandemic I experienced a discomfort in my calf. I'm athletic, wfpb, somewhat underweight. Found out I have APLS and had idiopathic clot near my lungs. Thanks to good Lord placed immediately on warfarin. Currently continue with warfarin and monitor my INR at home. I Continue with suggestion made by Dr. Dhand to use food and lifestyle to mitigate need for my only med
But God knows I'm just glad to be here🎉 stay blessed
Thank you for talking straight forward where anybody can understand.
I had AF, I was not given a blood thinner. Just a bp med.
Some 6 years ago I had an "incident ", I fell unconscious whilst driving (thankfully slowly), I wasn't hurt. They couldn't tell me what happened?TIA? Lost cardiac output.
Anyway I have been on Apixaban ever since. Even though I have changed my diet and lifestyle and ditched quite a few drugs. I still take Apixaban.
I am 66.
Why?
Great video. Thanks!👍🏽
Curcumin is also a very good natural blood thinner. You just have to add it in your food.
It's better to take it with pepper and oil in order to facilitate its gut absorbtion.
Yes - it is.
My Mom has this arrhythmia and RA. Huge issue for anti inflammatory medicine and blood thinners. I had her checked for approval for the Watchman. 6 weeks later we are free of the blood thinners. Hallelujah
What is the watchman?

she still has to take aspirin with that which canalso cause bleeding problems I believe
@@plantluvr2917 true she does. 1 a day

My dad was just diagnosed with afib. He doesn’t want to take blood thinners due to his fears associated with having a brain aneurysm and also a TAA. Both are monitored regularly. We had a family friend die from a brain hemorrhage a year ago. She was on warfarin for afib.
i would advise you to think very carefully about this. Personally, I take Eliquis. Your friend was on warfarin. That is a totally different medicine, and has been phased out for ages now. The newer meds are a lot better and safer.
Thank you for this and all your work 😊
Recently listened to the audible book The Invisible Rainbow, and it confirms what I've heard about the connection between EMF and numerous modern day health conditions, especially heart disease and diabetes. It's an excellent book..both well written and narrated
I totally agree with your advise and knowledge...thankyou Dr D!😊
A doctor put me on Eliquis for 6 months. Nearly 4 years later some doctors want to keep me on it. I'd much rather take onions & hot peppers. I was in a local Dollar Store and for no apparent reason my hand started bleeding. I tried to tell this to a doctor this (Thank God, not my PCP) and he said "If I cut myself I bleed". It was an excuse to justify insisting that I take a drug I don't need ir want,
Many are using nattokinase
Appreciate your channel in helping us with this vital information😉
My wife has deep vein thrombosis and is on a daily dose of warfarin for over 20 years! We know the risk if Warfarin but the alternatives such as Eliquis is absolutely too expensive! A months supply of Eliquis is almost 700 dollars per month! Most of her physicians don't even mention the alternatives ! Love your channel , thanks for the great work!
Excellent nuanced advise!
I really enjoy your videos as i coast into my mid 70s
Excellent video. I totally agree with everything you said.
Appreciate your well balanced opinion on this matter and other issues you have addressed in other videos. Thank you! Thank you!
Thankyou that is very helpful ,
My brother had factor 5 Leiden and was on Warfarin. He went out of town and sometime during the night or early morning fell to the floor in his motel room. A friend staying with him found him that morning. The medical team was called he was taken to the hospital and had pressure on the brain from a brain bleed. He died a couple days later. It is very upsetting that a drug used to prevent clotting may have exacerbated the issue that caused his death.
What about nattokinase?
Sadly most Medicare does not cover these meds., if they do it’s 300 a month. Most people can’t afford this. Good video
A good talk. Eliquis is an improvement for sure. It needs an improvement in cost, which is out of reach for many.
We were appalled at the ignorance of the effects of diet on warfarin among NHS staff. My husband was in hospital and they served turkey and cranberry sandwiches to every patient on warfarin in his ward. He was the only one who didn't have a drammatically raised INR as he refused to eat them!
If doctors and nurses can't be bothered to know what to avoid no wonder it is so difficult to manage.
Unfortunately he reacts badly to the newer drugs so we're stuck with this and the ignorance in the NHS.
Thanks so much for helping us to know the truth.
Doctor, what are you thoughts on taking the anti thrombin Nattokinase instead of the anticoagulants?…
This is my question as well. I would like to get my partner off blood thinners but don't know if Nattokinase can be enough. He is on warfarin now.
I was wondering too!
You're just truly smart.
ThanksDr Dhand………. Always a pleasure listening to you.
After having a pulmonary embolism I was diagnosed with Factor V Leiden, and a few other genetic mutations. I took Warfarin until... I was waking with nose bleeds and the P-time test were coming in with reading that were still "too high", that was about 30 years ago. I said Enough when they ordered another dosage increase.
Switched to a nightly aspirin and made several dietary changes. I've not had another random clot.
I still love information like this as it helps me fine tune my diet.
I work in healthcare and I personally have seen an explosion in this dx since Covid.
Since covid jab

Excellent analysis: objective and scientific 🎉❤🎉❤
all these health problems have dramatically increased over the last 4-5years.
What an amazing man ❤
I had an initial episode of afib with RVR and thought I was dying when I was 63. Turned out my kidneys were throwing off potassium and magnesium for no apparent reason. Once that was corrected, I would only have an episode occasionally (like, 2x/yr) after exercise. I could always get it to stop with hydration and more K and Mg. I was very symptomatic, so I know when I’m in it plus wear an Apple Watch. My cardiologist wanted to put me on Eliquist. I refused. He fired me. Ten years later, I haven’t had an episode in at least three years. For me, the risks of a blood thinner outweighed the benefit.
Great video 👍
I would just like.
To say thank you, For reaching out the people. It's like taking the red pill in the matrix of medical care.
Thanks for your balanced analysis. I contracted atrial fibrillation six months ago and am on apixaban. I got sick after a wrist operation with a tight cast. I worked instead of rested, had the operation while sick with bronchitis, and took Hydromorphone instead of more acetaminophen. I mention this because l am 69 years old and have ignored my stress and pain and need to rest all my life without comeback, but this time...
What about Clint Ober's work with the technique called "Grounding ". In his book and 2 movies, he talks about how Grounding (also called Earthing) can thin the blood and that people already on blood thinner medicine needs to be careful and not ground too much per day.
I was just telling my friend about you an hour ago, we where talking about blood thinners that she is on , and here you are doing a video :) .
What do you think of nattokynase as a potential blood thinner?
I'd be curious as well. ❤
I was on eliquis for a few months because of pulmonary embolism . I started taking nattokinace and stop the eliquis . Taking nattokinace 4000fu 4 years now
Thanks Dr Dand. What do you think about Vitamin E to help strengthen the circulatory sytem? This would also help to lessen bleeds wouldn't it?
Please do a video on Nattokinase for this risk group.
I had it. Found out the cause in myself: Immune system dysfunction. I had to cut many foods from my diet and it went away completely. Also taking Vit D3, K2, Mg, Zn daily on top of an antihistamine (cetirizine hydrochloride - 10mg). This all helps a ton. It's given me my life back.
EDIT: P.S. I suffered several mini-strokes, one of which made me completely lose hearing in my right ear for several weeks. It never went fully back to normal. NHS didn't help at all. They misdiagnosed my immune system dysfunction for years.
So you took K2 to heal this? I'm interested because K2 is such an important nutrient but the doctors warn against vitamin K if you are on blood thinners. The thing is they never seem to differentiate between K1 and K2. I think K1 is dangerous and can cause clotting but I think K2 may not be. I've never found anyone to confirm this but K2 helps with calcium distribution not blood clotting as far as I know. I'd love to know why you took K2 to heal from Afib. I read that it was an immune system dysfunction. Were you worried about the K2 causing clotting while you took it to heal yourself?
@@puggirl415 I think both improve the action of clotting, but the true cause of clotting needs to be identified and addressed.
In my case, the clotting was caused by poor circulation, caused by irregular heartbeats, caused by a dysfunctional immune system (v*ccine damage). As soon as I cut foods that were bad for me, the irregular heartbeats went away, meaning that the risk of clotting causing strokes also went away.
Vitamin K (in K1 or K2) won't be an issue so long as you cure the root cause of the clot risk.
In my case, the Vitmain D3 helped calm my immune system by boosting my 25(OH)D levels. The daily anti-histamine (cetirizine) also help against any potentially allergic reactions, and they don't seem to cause any side-effects in me. Not recommended unless anyone has an immune system disorder, though.
The reason I take K2 is because I am taking higher dose D3 (13,000 IU). K2 is a necessary co-factor in helping transport calcium away from soft tissues, which prevents calcification of arteries.
It's one of those paradoxes. K2 = enhances blood clotting, but K2 also prevents arterial plaquing with calcium deposits to a certain degree. So do you take it to prevent arterial plaquing at the cost of increasing blood clotting risk? Or do you avoid it and risk arterial plaque buildup due to calcium deposits not being transported away from soft tissues? That's something you have to decide yourself (with the advice of a medical professional). :)
@@puggirl415 K is different from K2.
@@PrincipalAudio Thanks for your post. Wonderful that you found the source of the problem, and ways to counteract it. I am trying to get similar help. Cardiologists have been useless. If you have suggestions for what to read I would welcome that. Also, you apparently found a good immunologist?
@@PrincipalAudio Sorry, I neglected to acknowledge the bad effect of the v. Outrageous.
I am an RN and agree with this point of view.I had a successful ablation 6 years ago and am on rivaroxaban,Chad score 2: female and age 74. I do feel well and am extremely active.
@ Dr. Suneel Dhand- what do you feel about Nattokinase or Serepatase? Or the combo?
Thank you, Dr Dhand, for this informative video.
I am a 79 yr old patient with A.Fib currently taking Xarelto. Warfarin had terrible side effects, and I switched to Xarelto which is well tolerated. Thank you for the reassurance.
I have a fib, but fortunately only on Rare occasions. I'm 77 and an internist but have good BP. I calculate my CHADS2 score at 1 because of my age. NNT to stop a major stroke is 50+. I ski and bicycle too fast. I think the medical evidence supports my decision for skip the anticoagulants. (TRENDS study among others) Should I develop permanent a fib I might have to do something but I would choose ablation + Watchman procedure so I could continue an active life free of the very real bleeding caused by all anticoaagulants.
Eliquis and Xarelto are outrageously priced. Why? Because Big Pharma has paid doctors, especially cardiologists, enormous ammounts to promote it over Coumadin. Coumadin is just as safe and 1/100th the cost. They are equally safe and effective but Big Pharma can trot out a couple of studies paid to promote their drugs. There are no cost benefit studies to support this because they know they'd lose.
Thank you for your honest thoughts on these matters doctor.
Would YOU have an opinion regarding prescribing Amiodarone, aka "The medication of Last Resort", for a 92 year old woman with atrial fib? (My mum.)
Thank-you for your time and keep on truckin'!
@@Seriously_Eh Thought I was going to die on Amiodarone.....black box warning....read up its very scary and its half live is around 58 days for it to clear....i was so miserable. Its overkill.
My sister in law has had it for many year's when she was young and was athletic to
afib is common in young athletes that over do it, like long distance runners
Thank you.
My mother in the Uk was warfarinised in her early 80s due to Atrial Fibrillation. She had a gastrointestinal bleed due to diverticulitis at the age of 90, was very ill but recovered eventually. She lived until she was 99 , had a few T.IAs in her middle 90s, but I would say overall mum’s warfarin experience was successful.However I was a nurse and always kept a close eye on her and knew what to look out for.
Thank you once again Dr. Dhand for this excellent informative video and your rationale for opting to take this med if it were absolutely necessary.
Keep up the great work with your very enlightening health videos.
I would generally agree with Dr. Dhand’s advice here. However, the net absolute risk reduction is modest and it is not uncommon to care for hospitalized patients with life threatening bleeds as a consequence of these medications. The old dictum that each treatment decision should be individualized and carefully weighed by the informed clinician applies here.
Walter, could you give us the figures and sources please?
I have been trying to find this out for a long time. Thank you. x
@@bb2021Look up the medication that you’ve been prescribed and its side effects. Look up class action lawsuits and the medication too. Also some food should not be eaten with certain medications. Have a blessed week.
Thanks@@sandilobianco6734 , I have looked that up - not the law suits, but it was the level of net risk details I am interested in. I have seen 60% mentioned but is that 60/100 or 60% of a much smaller number.
I was told when I was in my mid 40s and had a lot of palpation's but was told it was harmless and just ignore it. It did settle down eventually.
Glad to hear it Pam!
Magnesium and potassium. I take magnesium glycinate and 3700mg of potassium a day
@@paulasusan63 cardiologist said magnesium taurate was best for heart issues
Thanks 👍
I have afib (back in sinus now after cardioversion, but always at risk). Thank you for sharing what you would likely do. I am on Eliquis now, so far so good.
Thanks to the “cure”!
Have you priced Eliqust?
$2300 for 30 days without insurance. $800 with insurance. Many people can not afford this.
?
where are you? Massachusetts it's $550 to $700 w/ no insurance
get it from South East Asia. I get it from Thailand. 3,400 baht for one month. I would not dream about paying the US price. Its just ridiculous. You are getting ripped off hugely. Or change to Nattokinase
Diagnosed last year. AFib 2% started on low dose aspirin.
I was taking a low dose of Asprin daily for many years (most of my 40s). This was a preventative measure. I had no health issues. Reading a study that found Asprin's benefit was inconclusive, I checked out with my GP and directed to stop taking. Asprin seems to work if taken after a first heart attack.
I am not on any medication and manage my health with food & exercise in moderation. Now, I am in the early 70s.
@@narayanshenoy9127 according to my cardiologist my risk of a stroke is high enough to warrant daily aspirin..there are more details I don’t care to share.
@@narayanshenoy9127 of cause the dr stopped the asprin.....while your taking it he aint making any money out of you ?
So often we get pushed into taking these medications. Things are not explained and how can you articulate concerns when you are poorly. Even if you are able to, you hardly see the same doctor's in hospital these days.
Thanks for the great explanation.Personally, to be for warned works for me. I want to know about health matters.
I'll take Nattokinase for $200. (That's a game show reference, it is quite a bit cheaper, and certainly cheaper than two weeks in the hospital)
Dr Dhand you are a hero! Why are rates of HCM also increasing?
