Anyone can take charge of their own health and learn the limitations of Coumadin. Some decide to continue it and gradually expand their protection, since Coumadin is totally inadequate for any real protection, and start things like Garlic, Ginkgo, Salmon oil etc. all as found in Beyond Chelation. Some who have read everything on the subject spend $500-1000 and get a Hemex test while on Coumadin, just to prove to themselves that the head of the American Heart Association, Dr. Valentin Fuster, in his book "Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque" was correct when he said that Coumadin, Heparin, and Aspirin are all inadequate!

We have found some really tough cases who need to be on very aggressive NATURAL PRODUCT based anticoagulant programs even though using just my basic program of Beyond Chelation 1 pack twice daily (9 pills in each pack) and Wobenzym, 5 twice daily, or the equivalent of FYI-Med etc. has been enough so far that we have not heard of anyone in the thousands taking the program in the past several years having a heart attack or a stroke.

The good news is we simply do not see heart attacks or strokes in those who follow the program, so we know, after doing this for 17 years, that we are really onto a basic new way of practicing preventive medicine. However, of course, we are not God so the more testing and actual knowledge of a patient's condition we have, the more there are other things that we might want to recommend.

We always like it if you can do the new tests at Hemex that prove how totally inadequate everything being used in this country today to thin the blood really is. We have many with heart valves and some who felt poisoned from the first day of taking Coumadin, who have decided to be my patients and chosen to take a different approach to staying alive. So far, we have been extremely successful. The $10 million of research by Dr. Lester Morrison proves we are on the right path, but we are not a drug company, and thus, this approach is NOT covered by any insurance.

However, we deal with VERY sick patients and in some cases we also need to use some Heparin injections (or oral troches) until they have lowered their chronic infection load. I really find that Plasmin Plus from China which works like the most powerful anticoagulant known to medicine Tissue Plasminogen activator costing $3000 a shot, is a very incredible alternative to Coumadin, although it retails at $2 per capsule. The dose is two - three times a day or 3 twice a day taken on empty stomach, preferably at least 45 minutes before a meal.

So, for tough patients with serious problems, like chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Cancer, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, disabling Migraine, serious hypertension, heart valves, or who may have a history of lung clots, leg clots, early heart attacks, etc., I also prefer to go even further than just my very successful basic program and use extra Garlic Plus (renamed EDD) 2 with each meal. This is our basic EDTA, containing a Garlic blood thinning formula (as found in Beyond Chelation) and chelator of heavy metals that I believe everyone needs to take at least 6 everyday of their life.

Since some see me as the father of chelation therapy, this is perhaps my biggest contribution; making some of the important detoxification and blood thinning benefits of chelation therapy available at home, orally and affordably for everyone, no matter what else they are taking. Even if they are on Heparin and Coumadin and aspirin, this works mildly and broadly and has no contraindications. After all, eating Szechwan food also thins the blood and we do not make you stop going out for hot spicy Chinese food just because you are on Coumadin.

You still have some freedom to think and act for yourself, although even taking vitamin E affects your test results when you are on Coumadin; the issue is why not learn what natural things affect your test results and decide if they make more sense than blindly following your doctors' advice to take rat poison everyday of your life. READ up on Coumadin then decide what YOU want to do for YOUR health. This is an opportunity to learn something that in the long run, I am convinced, will add years to YOUR life!

All this is on my website, www.gordonresearch.com but you now know more than YOUR average cardiologist! So, either you let them do what they want because that is all they KNOW, or you choose to take charge and BET YOUR LIFE that there is another way. Of course, science does enter here, and if you do not like the results on your www.Hemex.com test while "protected" by the usual nonsense of Coumadin, etc., then you can repeat the test, and work with doctors who understand, or are willing to learn, how to interpret the Hemex test.
