I would say to be careful with the heparing and the herbs. many of the herbs that are recommended for Lyme and Co act as blood thinners which may be an issue.

If you are concerned with your diet conflicting with the heparin, then I suggest constant monitoring of your blood to make sure that you are not overdoing it.

Thank you both.

I did a quick and dirty search and didn't find much so I think I need to spend a little more time on this. I queried my LLMD so will wait to hear back. What I did find was that dark green veggies are high in vitamin K, which helps the blood clot. But I am only eating one salad and serving of steamed veggies per day and that is about the only thing I CAN eat on this restrictive diet so that's not going to change. The nurse seemed to think it wasn't an issue.

And I found that these herbs are known to interact (none of which I am currently taking): bilberry, bromelains, coenzyme Q-10, danshen, dong quai, feverfew, garlic, ginger, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, horse chestnut, meadowsweet, St John’s wort, turmeric and willow, digitalis, fenugreek, red clover, reishi, sweet clover, sweet woodruff.

And I found that Heparin may deplete Vit. D, which is interesting.

I do believe that one of my DNA mutations makes me at a higher risk for blood clots.
