contrary to popular belief, "blood thinners" do not THIN the blood taking blood "thinners" (eg aspirin, coumadin, etc.) do not thin the blood
what blood "thinners" do is either impair platelet functioning or impair clotting factor production/function taking blood "thinners" does NOT make blood thinner (more watery) increasing fluid intake can reduce dehydration, reducing hematocrit, which is the lab number for liquid to solid ratio of the blood - a lower hematocrit # translates into more "liquid" blood with less solid (blood cells) in it many health care professionals mislead the public by using the words "blood thinner" and in my experience many health care professionals don't even understand the concept themselves there is likely a limit to how "watery" one can make blood, as the kidneys are designed to regulate the amount of water in the body via various feedback loops ... damaged kidneys can impair body water regulation (as can damage to the endocrine system which is involved in messaging body hydration throughout the organism please folks, use the term "blood thinning" accurately do some research; google platelet function (such as platelet aggregation) and google clotting factors or clotting factor cascade GS ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 4, 2013 6:31 PM Subject: Re: CS>natural blood thinners . . .
