Re: [Everything doTERRA] I am still looking for info cumadin & Blood thinners

Sorry, we have a post convention tour event upcoming and I've been swamped and didn't see this. I don't know much about it other than my father has to take this drug occasionally and he hates it with a passion. Here is what I dug up, I would appreciate you posting what you find out as well.

Warfarin/ Coumadin (The warning is specific to this drug not all blood thinners)

tell your doctor and pharmacist what herbal or botanical products you are taking, especially bromelains, co enzyme Q10 (Ubidecarenone), cranberry products, danshen, dong quai, garlic, Ginkgo biloba, ginseng, and St. John's wort

LLV contains Vitamin K (10 mcg) CoQ10, 50 mg and Cranberry seed extract 40 mg. What I researched showed that small amounts , i.e., 50 mg of CoQ10 is fine which is what LLV has and they say large amounts of cranberry juice which isn't the seed. The Vit. K allowance daily is 70-80 mcg so if they take LLV the will need to really limit any other source of it. There is a sheet below to show what those are. So I think LLV is probably safe but I'd like someone else to affirm that. Perhaps she should ask her doc or maybe we need to ask Dr. Hill?

Here is a previous thread on the topic.

You might also look at:

Since you said you are new, here is what I do, I Google the drug and look at interactions then I Google the pertantent ones to get answers. I always search www.everythingessential.me and I Google doTerra coumadin and then Google everything doterra coumadin and look below for where it says in little letters 'thread' so I can read the whole thread at once. I also get out the Modern Essential book too.
