May I ask what "natural holistic blood thinner" you take?
For my part, I take a non-pharmacetical "triple anticoagulant therapy" ( the alternative to the triple pharmaceutical anti-coagulant therapy that is all the rage now): Boluoke lumbrokinase (2x per day/B.I.D.; which has a Canadian-FDA clinical trial behind it), Pure Prescriptions Cardiokinase nattokinase (1x per day), & chewable low-dose (81 mg) aspirin (1x per day).
This way I am combining proteolytic/fibrinolytic enzymes with the anti-platelet forming effects of aspirin...to achieve optimal...yet safe "anti-coagulation"...as I work further through a metabolic cardiological approach to healing & even reversing the myocardial fibrosis...causing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation...I have suffered since the incident myocarditis caused by the Moderna-NIH COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.
My atrial fibrillation burden (the state-of-the-art health-scientific metric for the time one's heart spends in atrial fibrillation...over a measured/given period)...is on a long-term downward trend...after sharply rising earlier this year.
What, you might ask, am I taking to support myocardial remodeling (reversing the myocardial fibrosis/lesion in my left atrium)?
Well, that would be 4.5 mg a day of...bioperine-enhanced (or Longavida-enhanced) curcumin.
Consulting with a naturopathic cardiologist led me to the discover this promising research (unfortunately done on non-human animals) on the role of curcumin in the IL-17 signaling pathway: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34894517/.
Since starting (2 weeks ago) on the elevated dose of bioperine curcumin my atrial fibrillation burden has dramatically decreased from 18% (measured over a week, every week via my Apple Watch)...to 5%.
The villain (caused by the Modern-NIH mRNA C19 vaccines) was & remained...myocardial inflammation, which elicits fibrosis & disrupts normative electrical conductivity across the myocardium (which results in, among other things, arrhythmia/atrial fibrillation).
The only published data available on the level of atrial fibrillation burden--associated with an increased level of ischemic stroke--which is 11% or greater, is found here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/fullarticle/2681476.
Net-net: I am thrilled with the results thus far & will continue this curcumin protocol...& my natural triple anti-coagulant therapy...& my other metabolic heart-centric supplementation (mainstays are part of the Sinatra protocol: potassium (mostly citrate), magnesium taurate, taurine, D-ribose, hawthorne, glycine, BCCA, & l-glutamine).
Add to this my decades-long Veganism & my continued high-intensity fitness routine. To wit: Yesterday, with the benefit of my Garmin & FitBit watches, I recorded a VO2 max score of...58 (VO2 max range is 0-65). So my heart health remains..."excellent," whether indexed for my age or across all age groups.
For example, for those 65 years or older, a VO2 max score (which is something that a cardiac stress test will also measure as it is an indirect measure of ejection refraction)...a VO2 max score of 37 is categorized as "excellent").

Stay safe (wear an N95 respirator in public to avoid C19 infection) & all the best to everyone!
