New FAQ About Testing of NOACs and Natural Blood Thinners
Complementary & Natural Therapies
I’ve posted a new FAQ in the Complementary & Natural Therapies section:
“Have there been any tests comparing natural blood thinners to the new anticoagulants (NOACs) in terms of efficacy and speed of onset?”
Comparison testing is unlikely. It’s highly unlikely that pharmaceutical companies and the FDA will one day pay for unbiased tests comparing their products to natural blood thinners. They have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Clinical trials are expensive, so it’s unlikely any others (i.e., the nutritional supplements industry) will have a financial incentive to pursue it either.
