i recently took prednisone for just short of the the course..at which time i had major reaction and was told to stop the drug. then advised to take metoprol to counter act the a-fib caused by the prednisone. again major side effects. my pulse is registering between 68 bpm to 138 bpm. i am now doing a detox diet . i want to know if there is a natural blood thinner. i am very reluctant to take more drugs at this point. i have always had bad problems with drugs. i d appreciate any advise you can offer. thank you. joanne parker
