Warfarin, DVT, & Bruising?

[rocklobster]

Hey everyone,

My mother has a DVT in her leg and has been on warfarin for a few years now. I'm sure everyone knows how horrible that is for overall health. Besides surgery, are there any opinions ray peat holds on treating this sort of thing? my mother is 52 and has not gone through menopause yet. She bruises easily, one recently that has her on antibiotics for possible infection after her cane fell on it. I've read that Dr. Peat would sometimes tell patients to rub progesterone on wounds to speed up healing. I know that progesterone would increase bleeding/bruising. Are there any good resources I can use? Does Ray Peat do private consultations?

Vitamin K2 proetects against this and also hardened arteries that warfarin causes and it doesn't interfere with the supposed benefit of warfarin.

Sugar and T3 on wounds helps a lot

K2 and blood thinners work against each other. if she takes K2, she risks the clot traveling. I'll look into T3 tho.

no they don't. K2 protects against bruising and blood thinners still work.

Warfarin causes calcium to migrate to the arteries and harden the linings, and results in osteoporosis besides. K2 prevents or reverses this.

"We found that stability of anticoagulant effect increased as dietary intake of vitamin K increased. "
K has to turn into K2, but higher K levels presumably turn into higher K2 levels...

Damn, I'm guessing she'd have to slowly but consistently introduce K into the diet. Every single medical professional has advised her against any vitamin K intake. Incredible. Thanks for the info!
