[QUOTE="Concerned wife, post: 27015, member: 12457"] Hi Marco! He's been on all three but is currently using compounded bio-identical cream. My husband is pretty private about his medical info being online so I can't share a lot of personal detail, but I will tell you the TRT replacements does not get his numbers to ideal levels. He has been diagnosed with a disorder that makes him susceptible to hypercoagulability, but again, for privacy's sake, I won't mention what it is. It's true that mainstream physicians and even some functional medicine doctors would recommend an anticoagulant but the long-term side effects of those, at least in our opinion, are worse than the relative risk we are taking by "only" using natural products. Long-term warfarin will cause problems, especially osteoporosis and hardening of the arteries, and can put a person at risk for other types of stroke. At this point, it's just not worth it for us to "go there." Also, Warfarin doesn't dissolve clots that have already formed, whereas nattokinase, serrapeptase and lumbrokinase have the potential to do so. Regarding the newer medicines, same thing, except they haven't been on the market long enough to really know what the long-term effects might be. I understand that fish oil inhibits platelet aggregation only but don't understand why you would say that the clots that form DVTs are "more serious." I think heart attacks and strokes (caused from blood clots blocking arteries) are as bad or worse than pulmonary embolisms and DVTs. It's ALL bad! This is why he also uses lumbrokinase, nattokinase and serrapeptase. Those DO break down fibrin, which is what the DVT type clots are made of. Thanks for the phlebotomy info.
