Wow!!!  this Ibuprofen and aspirin blood thinning ,  kidney failing thing is
really kind of scarey.  I will try to remenber to ask one of my doctor
friends if there is any info on the subject.  Just got a new bottle of
Arnica Montana a few weeks ago,  think I will put it in my purse in place of
the Ibuprofen.     gesa
