A phlebotomist recently exclaimed: 'My goodness! Are you taking blood-thinning medication?', to which I replied, 'No', but that I was taking 'natural blood thinners' instead. She looked at me with a confused stare. This is the NHS and conventional medicine for you. To protect against ischemic stroke I've incorporated into my daily life - One cup of green tea with a sprinkle of turmeric and black pepper Ginger incorporated into cooking Cinnamon incorporated into cooking Turmeric powder incorporated into cooking (large amounts aren't necessary) Nattokinase Dark chocolate (at least 70%, preferably 85%). At least a few pieces daily Vitamin K2 Raw garlic. A few cloves, peeled and chopped into tablet-sized pieces taken with water before a meal Stretching and being mindful of posture is important too. Emotional stress can manifest as reduced blood flow to the brain, so neck massage and exercise are important. I try to lay down flat on my bed every now and then without a pillow. Some people have their heads slouched forwards - this is a recipe for disaster. A final note - oral health is important. Gum disease can stiffen artery walls. Lemongrass essential oil works for gum disease (see scientific literature). Nature has the answer already but big pharma doesn't want you to know.
