@maribel8 I'm VERY INTERESTED in this idea. It doesn't make sense to me that there are so many food products that are blood thinners and no one has figured out a way to effectively use them to prevent blood clotting. Of course, the RX companies wouldn't make as much money. I am tempted to just experiment on my own body! Do you know of a high quality third party tested turmeric supplement? I've been attracted to BioRoot. I haven't taken it yet but it looks reputable.

@tx. You are first person (from several posts) who _hasn't_ said the usual "NO- doc would never agree, dangerous, etc." The brand that catches my eye and critical mind is Luma Nutrition curcumin. (Look up, 3rd testing, made in usa, etc). More descriptive than most (i.e. the "wonder versions/reviews on Amazon's many options). I have hetero FVL discovered from a provoked long flight 2018. In one leg, and tiny tiny one in lungs. Was on high dose- 1st 20 mg eliquis for couple of weeks, then down to 10g for about 2 1/2 yrs. Now at 5mg day divided, a.m./p.m. With all the shenanigans with RX pricing, government lobbying, delays and tariffs, I'm pretty much 'done' with the robotic "You must ...." scare ?tactics. Having had only one episode nearly 8 years ago, I'd love to at least move to 25mg/ plus tumeric day. Interesting that in a univ of VT medical research paper, the writer wrote that if person was dx with genetic FVL with one provoked event, treat/ dissolve and no more blood thinners ( manage with weight control, lots of water exercise - lots more). Would love posts to be read by MD's, med students, researchers. What's your story?
