Hi @AndreaMillen - I’m sorry to keep sending messages, but recently we (some membas of this forum) have been discussing medication and there is some cross-over. As a relative newbie, you may wish to spend a few minutes have a read …

The below is a response from one of the contributors.
Clopidogrel. 8.7% relative risk reduction vs O.5%-0.9% absolute risk reduction. Other factors should be taken into consideration before prescribing but probably rarely are because it seems to be freely dished out. There are plenty of foods that are more effective for keeping blood flowing freely without the risk of bleeding that Clopidogrel presents. Eg ginger, kiwi, pineapple, garlic, celery, turmeric. Of course, much depends on what caused our stroke and we know that it’s not as clear cut as living an unhealthy lifestyle as many would have us believe. So many different causes of stroke and both healthy and unhealthy can fall victim to it. I’m rambling again🙄

Take care.
