Thank you, Geoff.

I'm hoping to switch from the blood thinner, Pradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate 150 mg), to natural alternative(s). I do not want to bleed out and die if I ever have/get into an accident. Does anyone have experience with attempting a similar change? What was your experience and results? Recommendations?

Do you mean statin-type or drugs in general?

thanks Geoff

thanks Scott

Independence Day 2025. Eliminated statin tonight after years of being on one. Freedom...hope so 📿

Yes, I did tell him that I heard long term use might contribute to dementia. I think he basically ignored what I said.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Since Natto is plant-based, is it ok for Carnivore? Do you take it as a supplement? What brand do you take?

Check this out from Mitch (Old Guy Carnivore) on cognitive decline at 10:07 into the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN-XYuw1x5Y

It would be nice if the inflammation in my neck would go away after stopping the statin. So far, the diet hasn't eliminated it completely.

Thanks Geoff, good food for thought. Meds to potentially quit (in order, according to my current thinking): Statin Beta blocker Blood thinner Anti-arrhythmic Then substitute with natural alternatives if helpful.

Will you go back on a statin?

Interesting concept, thanks. I'm on day 72 of mostly carnivore.

Thanks Scott. I'd like to be able to get rid of the metoprolol, anti-arrythmic, and blood thinner, too, but without a carnivore-friendly cardiologist's input, I hesitate doing it on my own. I'd like to be taking all natural supplements if needed. I know there are docs available on the internet, but I think I would need someone who can look at my full heart history. I think getting off the statin might be the safest med to get rid of.
