Hi. Looking for some feedback from some Oral Surgeon/Dentists. I am
going to have 9 teeth, some just the roots, out in 10 days. I have
been taking 2000-4000 IU Vitamin E, 120,000 Vit A and 9,000 Vit D for
about 3 weeks along with 40-50 mg Zinc Longezes (Cold Ezze). I was on
anti-biotics for 3 weeks and still had symptoms of the infection. Now
the infection is almost totally gone only with some pain. I also am
taking Percocet 7.5/500- 4a day, Xanax-1.5mg, Prozac-40 mg,
Hydrocortisone 20-30 mg per day and Thyroid hormone T3 50 mcg per day.
Also I take 5 grams of Vitamin C per day and a multivitamin with 25
mcg Vitamin K. I also drink green tea which has Vitamin K. My question
is do I need to postpone the surgery because of excessive bleeding
from too much Vitamin E? The research I did was 20,000 - 50,000 of
Vitamin E needs to be taken for hemmorage toxicity to happen. Is this
correct? I will be telling my Oral Surgon on Monday. 200-500mg/kg was
where the toxic level begins.
Thanks for your input.

What blood test is that? I am going to see my arthritis doc and they
do blood tests there at his office. I could have him do the test.
Thanks.

Also I have been eating Ginger a blood thinner for the last month. I
recently cut down on that as the infection is gone and use ginger for
upset stomach. I did have some blood work done when the infection was
there but not many symptoms yet. Sedimintation rate of 20 with
Plattets of around 400. My Gamma Globulin was high as well as my
protein count probably due to the chronic infection in my mouth.
Would appreciate any advice like what other tests. the blood tests
were done at the end of April.
Thanks.

IOW's, a blood test can measure the clotting time.
