Larry, great articles, maybe I can use them to educate my doctor :-). I have a shortage of a blood clotting substance, (von Willebrand factor vWF) so that supplements like fish oils, vitamin E or other "blood thinners" may be contraindicated for people like me. But so far I can't find any research that examines EFA's and the effect on people with vWF or other blood clotting disorders. I have been told to not take aspirin.
