[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 26974, member: 13"] For his TRT, is he on injections, pellets, or a gel? What's his dosing protocol? Also, you mention susceptibility to hypercoagulability. Has he experienced any thrombotic events? I'm assuming he hasn't been formally tested nor diagnosed with any familial or acquired clotting disorder, otherwise, he'd likely be on an anticoagulant. Polycythemia can be managed with routine CBCs and periodic therapeutic phlebotomy. Fish oil is in the same class as aspirin and other OTC agents that work to inhibit platelet aggregation only. They are completely ineffective against the more serious clots that form DVTs; only prescription anticoagulants (i.e. warfarin) address this. The article is way behind the times. In the last 3-4 years, there are a few newer anticoagulants that have been FDA-approved (i.e. Xarelto, Pradaxa, Eliquis) that have replaced the old standby warfarin (Coumadin) which was originally used as rat poison. I am not knocking OTC natural thinners, as I take them all myself, however, if one is at risk for any type of thrombophilia, I wouldn't rely on them exclusively, but it's great you have a basic understanding of the risk potential and are trying to act preventatively which is where mainstream medicine has largely failed us.
