I may be very wrong, but isn't bromelain the agent used in anti-coagulant

rodent killers?

*** Rat poison is an anti-coagulant called warfarin or coumadin. In small

doses, it is fairly widely used in treating heart patients. However,

research shows that aspirin tends to be just as effective in most cases:

Bromelain is a proteo-lytic ( " protein dissolving " ) enzyme derived from the

pineapple. Taken on an empty stomach, it acts as an anti-inflammatory; on a

full stomach, it will help to digest the protein. Other common proteolytic

enzymes are found in papaya (papaine) and apples (pectin).
