What about prescription blood thinners? Millions of Americans are taking them every
single day, so they must be okay, right? WRONG! They're built on a foundation
that's about as solid as a house of cards.
For example, one popular prescription blood thinner is used to keep your blood thin
where stroke risk is high or where deep clots in veins have developed. It's a bestseller, racking up $212 million in sales in 2005 alone.
It does help prevent strokes, but it has this BIG SIDE EFFECT: Spontaneous
bleeding anywhere in your body.
What's more, did you know it contains the same active ingredient found in RAT
POISON? This is an outrage!
If that's not bad enough, the FDA recently requested that the company which
manufactures this drug to slap a "Black Box" warning label on it—the HIGHEST
WARNING RED ALERT of any drug.
And why not, considering its side effects include...
Major or fatal bleeding
An allergic reaction (difficulty breathing, closing of throat and swelling of lips)
Black, bloody or tarry stools Blood in urine or vomiting
Coughing up blood
Bleeding gums or sores in the mouth
