If you take Coumadin(r) or you care for anyone who takes Coumadin(r), Jantoven, or any other form of warfarin, you need this book. After more than 20 years of taking warfarin, the author explains the best way to stay healthy while taking this very powerful drug. Here is what she has to say: "In 1996, I had open-heart surgery to replace my mitral valve. From that moment, I knew I would be taking warfarin for the rest of my life. Without it, my new St. Jude valve would damage my blood cells and cause blood clots to form inside my heart." "Since then, I learned through trial and error how changes I made changed the effectiveness of my warfarin dose. With each mistake I made, I sought advice from my healthcare providers. I reviewed the latest and most trusted research. I listened to my body and I learned how my life and my diet impacts the effectiveness of this very powerful drug." "I share my experiences and my learnings in this book, so you will make the right choices to maintain the balance between blood that clots too easily and blood that is dangerously thin. When started taking warfarin in 1996, I would have paid anything to have a book like this."
