thnx for response Glad to hear you are still sane Re Hawthorn, I studied herbalism and feel somewhat knowledgeable re hawthorn. It is well respected as a great herb for the heart as it can strengthen the heart and increase blood flow to the heart. I use both forms of hawthorn (leaf/berry) and make my own tinctures. It certainly helps with heart failure for instance. I know that a couple of people here reported it didn't work for them apparently. After much research it doesn't appear to be much of a blood thinner, any more than lots of other natural substances but if someone is on coumadin etc then maybe keep an eye on INR when taking it. I am on Eliquis.

Thanks for all that GeorgeN. I really need to digest that. I would actually pay for a consult because I am in constant / permanent afib currently and may choose to stay here. I'm 55. I was looking for all that info above because I know you have posted before. I want to maximize what I do have. Anyway- if you ever consult as a.. consultant.. let me know. I'd pay for that.

I'm happy to tell you what I do and why. Can't suggest what you should do. I have no training & can't charge. I make decisions for myself based upon what I think my situation is and what I perceive the risks and rewards are.
Somebody from the CC's functional medicine group or Liz's Dr. Brownstein in West Bloomfield are professionals that perhaps can actually direct you.
My basic premise is that making metabolism as optimal and pristine as possible is a very high priority. Second is reducing inflammation. As I have autoimmune issues that have occured since birth, eliminating them is a high priority. I'm a "root cause" person and most of medicine is setup to relieve symptoms. I would much rather change my lifestyle than take a pill. I'm generally in a very small minority. But what works for me may not work for others.
