Scientists looking at ways of improving anti-clotting therapy for stroke prevention were handed a disappointing (albeit predictable) result recently when studying the effects of combining 2 popular blood-thinning treatments.
Doctors trying to evaluate the efficacy of combining aspirin with another blood thinner, clopidogrel (Plavix) found their hypothesis busted recently, according to a study out of McMaster University in Ontario.
They wanted to show that adding Plavix to aspirin therapy after a stroke was more effective at preventing a second stroke from occurring than using aspirin alone.
What they found instead was that participants using both drugs were more likely to die from bleeding in the brain and gastrointestinal tract.
Their verbiage for the combination being ineffective was that they found stroke prevention to have a “non-significant trend.”
While natural health experts have been saying for many years that the side effects of drugs, especially when combined, can be devastating, the study authors still considered the results of the significantly higher mortality rate to be “completely unexpected.”

a few weeks ago there was an article in one of my e-mail health news letters that stated that eating just 2 squares of dark chocolate every day would work as good as aspirin for thining blood.
Well, like the old adage say, sometimes the cure is worse than the illness.
Doctors really have no idea of the possible side effects of combining various drugs. The listed possible side effects of each drug may overlap as well, possibly intensifying those.
Doctors also tend to ignore it when patients DO have drug-related side effects such as muscle deterioration with statin drugs.
The FDA is definitely not our friend.
Glad to report I'm off the warfrin and reduced the adiziem with a view to dropping that as well. Thanks for the info Christian. Drug free by Xmas, fingers crossed.
Here we go again with another TOXIC pill guaranteed to kill you slowly while they take your money. Its NO secret that the TOP pharma drugs like Asprin, Statin, Vioxx and Chantix have all been linked to an increased risk of serious heart diseases. Here is the kicker since 1998 three doctors won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of Nitric Oxide and how you can stimulate your arteries to make this live saving natural gas within your arteries natturally. But they don’t want you to know. google ( heart health wakeupgethealthy ) and learn about this miracle molecule that they don’t want you to know and help get the word to save hearts.
Thank you for this article. Doesn't it make sense, if you add a second toxic chemical to another toxic chemical, the condition just could get worse. What were they thinking. Just another reason to use quality supplementation.
well whats new most of the treatment is likely to be your demise
some Drs are diligent but most are not so it means we and our family members in some case has to take ownership of our care,

Amen brother,the governnent calls it soft killing , 30,000 a year die from there poison , the doctors get a huge kickback from the pharm companys , and vacations ..
Seriously, this is the most well rounded feature on this topic I’ve ever read. As everyone knows, there’s a ton of information all over the internet on this but it’s more confusing than ever. Finally, an article that just tells it like it is.
It’s so refreshing to discover posts like the ones you article on your internet site. Quite useful looking through. I will hold you bookmarked. Many thanks!
So interesting posts, you wrote the headline you gave, and the meaning was so excited.I am sure people who all like them, and better then, good luck! For more information please visit http://www.safedesign.com.
Most of the people I know who are on drugs such as these, are in nursing homes, and their responsible family member has little or no knowledge about these medications. Many and most of the elderly are cared for by Dr’s who are seldom approached by family members about meds. and, most of the elderly on these drugs/meds. are so old that many Dr.s advise that the medications side-effects are worse than the problems the people would have if not on them; so, why do they keep on giving these harmful drugs/meds to people over 80, when their lives would increase in quality, without them? Does anyone care? Does any healthcare facility care? Don’t the Dr’s in charge of the elderly care about their patients? There are many patients to go around, for Dr’s who care for the nursing home patients, and the elderly living at home. So why keep on giving these lovely elderly patients meds. which are considered poisons during their last or older years? I do not understand our world#%&@#??? Where are the “normal” people? Where are the “caring” people, when making these types of decissions? Where are the “knowledged” people when these drugs/meds/poisons are OK’ed? Where are the sensible people in the FDA? Are there any kind, caring, normal, knowledged people in the FDA? Are there any of these people in our government? One problem seems to just lead to another, and another, and another, ad infinitum. taylor gee whiz! folks.
I need to know your thoughts and your viewpoint, and where you stand, Christian. Are you a money grubber? Do you really care? Could you even state your standards, without having problems? This is the first health newsletter I go to when I turn my pc on email. I seem to have developed a “natural” trust in Blue Heron Health News, and I like feeling this trust. I receive “many” health newsletters. It is difficult for me to sort through my emails, and more difficult to delete any, or unsubscribe from them; but I do. I always keep Blue Heron Health News. I do a lot of research on my own. I used to go to libraries at the college and university, until I developed this disability to walk or stand for more than 10 to 12 minutes. I would miss that, if I though I could even handle the time I would spend there; but I cannot do that either. When I get older, I hope “they” just leave “me” alone! I buy Health and Science magazines and books; I receive health newsletters at home. I read all the paperwork which comes to me, or ones I buy. I have little storage room left; and preparing more storage corrently. I think I am ready to begin throwing a lot away. Science goes along faster than I can collect it, thank goodness. When are the pill mills and the Dr’s and labs going begin thinking of “well-being”, and “no harm” again, or at all? taylor
So true…
