Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 < > Hello, everyone, According my doctor, this is correct. If you are in an appropriate INR, you are in no more danger from bleeding to death than those not on coumidin. It will take a little bit longer, but your blood will clot. I've cut myself or had a scrape a few times since on coumidin and I didn't notice any difference at all. For those who worry about some internal bleeding that is not detected, that could happen to anyone whether on coumidin or not and would not be any more life-threatening on coumidin than off. I have noticed that the cuts and scraps take longer to heal but I consider that a small price to pay for the security that being on coumidin gives me. But then, I lived with a grandmother for 15 years and a mother for 3 that had had strokes and have seen first hand the devastation not only to them but to the family that takes care of them.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Does anyone really believe anything you read on that website? Has anyone had their fillings replaced yet? Did it cure your AF? The guy looks like a quack to me who just wants to sell his books.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I find Hans Larsen's website and his bulletins very informative. I am probably more sceptical than most at quacks, indeed I have referred to a couple of websites mentioned in the forum - one promoting Candida treatment and the other anti-statin as quackery. In general though, it is a very good source for those of us who have LAF. As with a lot of things, you have to take some of it with a pinch of salt (preferable lo-salt!)
