How to triple or quadruple your chances of stroke and heart attack; Abruptly stop taking low dose aspirin. Go off slowly. How to deactivate all your platelets for four days; take one dose of 30mg aspirin. (McDougal) How to prevent clots and heart attacks; Avoid hydrogenated fats and cooked or rancid fats. Take vit C with lysine, Vit E and alpha lipoic acid. Nattokinase works differently than other "thinners". Its an enzyme that dissolves fibrin

I'd rather take aspirin that Warfarin, which is rat poison, and as I understand it, 'thinning the blood' to a point whereby the heart just ceases to function, bleed to death if you like. Aspirin has been used since Adam wore short pants. Quantity or amount taken according to the circumstance. While 'blood thinner' may not be politically correct at least it's globally recognised and understood as preventing clots without having a doctorate or degree to understand the why's and wherefore's <g>.

I'm not smart enough to understand the complexities of what it does or how it works, and I certainly wouldn't wade through a heap of human biological jargon and terminologies to try to understand it, if it worked for my ancestors it'll work for me, that's about all I need to know.

A while ago here in Australia there was a media campaign trying to put people off taking aspirin for just such a purpose...I wonder why that would be {nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say n'more}...Why self medicate and possibly cause more harm than good when the establishment to do it for you <g>. If I'm going to die, by and large, I'd rather it be by my own hand than someone else's.

Again, I'm not having a go here, just voicing a layman's perspective {friend, mate, pal, buddy}.

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
