Warfarin, Coumadin Description Warfarin is an anticoagulant medication used for the prophylaxis of thrombosis and embolism. Warfarin decreases blood coagulation by interfering with vitamin K metabolism.

Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
