The uncoordinated use of the metric system by different scientific and engineering disciplines, particularly in the late 19th century, resulted in different choices of base units even though all were based on the same definitions of the metre and the kilogram.
Traditionally, patients taking warfarin have been advised to avoid vitamin K to prevent excess clotting. Surprisingly, scientists have now discovered that regular consumption of a modest amount of vitamin K actually helps stabilize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Vitamin K intake may thus help individuals using warfarin achieve the therapeutic benefits of the drugâwithout danger of clots or bleeding.
Greens and garlic and my favorite chamomile tea, lots of herbs, etc. effect how Coumadin works and would be awesome to see an article for folks like me. Answer: Coumadin, also known as warfarin, is an anticoagulant (blood thinning') medication that's usually used to prevent or treat blood clots. Warfarin works by slowing down vitamin K activity and increases the time it takes for your blood to clot. Making significant changes in the amounts of vitamin K you consume in a short period can mess with your warfarin dosage, so it's important to speak with your doctor about the foods you eat.
