In Canada & US, the guidelines recommend anti-coagulation at the lower CHA2DS2-VASc score of 1 in men or 2 in women, And cardiologists in Canada & US seem to tell us with much hysteria that we could stroke out at any moment if we don't take these drugs. Yet their European colleagues do not agree.
PS... How do I add bold or italics to text with the new interface?

Thanks for the links and info, colindo. I have purchased nattokinase but have not started taking it. Have been meaning to do more reading on it so this will get me started.
And I bought some natto in those little frozen packs from Japan. I am going to give it another go.
Can I ask you how much natto and Vitamin D you take daily? (Although I realize we are all different.)

I'm not sure about Canadian doctors but American doctors generally follow ACC guidelines, and those guidelines were updated in 2019 to reflect what you're saying. A CHADS 1 patient (up to 2 if female) won't generally be placed on anticoagulants unless they've recently undergone a procedure or there are other reasons specific to the patient.

I take two capsule of nattokinase, one first thing in the morning and one last thing at night. I use this brand [arthurandrew.com]
Which you can get from iherb.
I have one of the frozen packs of Natto every 2nd day for breakfast and take one 5000IU of vitamin D every 2nd non natto day.
I had a vitamin D test and the results indicated I was almost deficient, I started taking 10000IU a day but found that was too much for me, hence cutting it back to 5000IU every 2nd day. In the peak of summer I reduce the Vit.D to one a week.
I have been taking this protocol for almost three years and my monthly afib (sometimes 2 and 3 events a month) has slowly reduce to one event in the last 12 months.
The thing is, it is not a quick fix, well for me is wasn't.
I hope that helps.
