> 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.

I can't find any evidence that vWF is affected by fish oil supplementation, but that doesn't mean that the clotting parameters that do change would be of no relevance to your condition.

Here are a few abstracts that mention vWF:
