I don't remember this ever being commented on, so I'm asking: If I take steps in my diet to improve liver function (i.e.- cut out artificial chemicals, sugars, gluten etc) and just each healthy, it would logically seem that my INR would go down? My reasoning is, if the liver works as a better...

Probably been answered before, but what about pre-med for just having a new crown set? I did pre-med for the prep work etc. Now the Dentist wants me to pre-med before he "glues" it on!! Don't think I've done that before, but this is a new dentist. He is very good, but not too educated on...

I am going to Africa at the end of November. I have been rock solid with my INR for the past couple of years. This partly due, I think, to my regular eating habits, including a salad every day. Well, where we are going in Africa it is not recommended that I eat salads. Any suggestions? I don't...

My wife has been doing research on the benefits of detoxing for heavy metals and doing various kinds of cleanses. I am concerned that these will adversely effect my INR. Has anyone had experience with this as to what the recommendations would be? Thanks

Just wondering--- Has anyone received their replacement Coaguchek strips (Lot 560+) ? Seems like lots of promises but still no delivery. I wonder how many will be getting replacement strips but have change to different machines due to the problem?

I am almost 2 1/2 yrs out from my mechanical mitral valve replacement. Last couple of weeks I have been having weakness in the legs and somewhat lightheaded. My cardio. has ordered a TEE & blood cultures next week. No night sweats, no fever, am taking Benicar to control BP which has been...

I have been "monitoring" this site for the past two years. Ever since my Mechanical Mitral Valve Surgery. It has been very helpful. I finally decided to ask a question. Do any of the members from the UK have a souce for Coaguchek Strips in England that can be ordered online? I understand that...
