Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 If you are taking or thinking of taking aspirin to thin your blood, then just use Vitamin E. You should be taking Vit E anyway. I had to go off the vitamin E before my last surgery because it thins the blood and they don't want you bleeding too much for surgery.

Even children's aspirin ( was on that prior to surgery b/c of family history of heart disease and my own high blood pressure as an anticoagulant)....snip...
