Blood thinner

My brother John (he is a member of Javita, too) has had 9 ablations for his heart.  That is too much detail to explain but for this info, I’ll just say he has been on blood thinner for years and years.  He goes every few weeks to have his blood monitored so it doesn’t get too thick or thin and they adjust the medicine accordingly.    He went in January and they noticed his blood was getting thinner.   He went again the other day and it had gotten thinner still and they asked if he’d changed his diet.  He said, “Well, I’m eating low carb.”  He didn’t say anything about Javita because it didn’t dawn on him until he was on the way home that that is why his blood is thinner.   He said he’s done low carb diets many times and nothing changed.    He is a bit worried in case his blood gets too thin, but they lowered his blood thinner dose and will continue to do so as needed.  
 

I told him that is a good thing and he had to agree.
