Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Gary and others, I forgot that I do take both fiber pills and get lots of fiber in my diet. Including lots of tomato skins. I did mention that my docs know what I do and will know everything I plan on doing. These docs include a pain doc, family doc, alternative medicine doc and a kidney doc. Yes, I have bad kidneys and have had them since I was born. Each doctor knows what I do and what the other docs want me to do. The family doc and I, make the final decision on any new meds. I do know that clots running around the body aren't a good thing to have. I had PVD(I think) and Pulmonary Embolisms back in 2005. According to my family doc. I had three things that could have happened to me. I could have lost a leg, lost my life, or got better. Obviously, I got better to the surprise of my doctor and the ICU nurses. Yes, they had me in ICU for 6 days. Obviously, the doc not tell me my chances, until a lot later! I do thank the individual for the other group I can check out about this. BTW Gary, aspirin was also developed from rat poison. Thought you would want to know about that. Many thanks, Bill PS Meanwhile I will keep reading all the posts. Gary W.
