It's not a conclusion.It's fact. I have several cardiac problems that I won't go into, but one of them is coagulopathy. I also have a Coumadin resistant gene, so warfarin based blood thinners don't work on me.
I was taking daily injections of Arixtra, a low molecular weight heparin, but it isn't advised for long term use because of it's tendency to greatly increase the risk of osteoporosis.
I opted not to have a filter installed due to the fact I have already experienced what happens when there is an implant in your body and a staph infection gets in your system ( in my case I had a bi-ventricular pacemaker). Had said pacemaker removed because that is the only way the staph infection could be cleared.
Anyway...back to your question. I ran a 12 week T'bol cycle and my clotting time was fine. I had my prothrombin factor checked weekly.
When I came off of the cycle, within 3 weeks my clotting time was such that they wanted to install a Greenfield filter.
..So, you tell me. It doesn't take much extrapolation to arrive at the answer.
On a side note, many T'bol users will tell you how easily they bleed and bruise....but that's all anecdotal evidence.
My statement is based on medical fact.
