How To Cure The Blood Clots On The Legs?

My father, age 60, had an accident that caused a little bleeding on the brain. He is genetically prone to getting blood clots in his legs (DVT), so he was on coumadin. He had to stop this to stop the bleeding in the brain and now he has been dealing with the clots that formed in his legs. Despite all the different blod thinners he's recently been on, the clots are not dissolving, or at a snails pace. Since the clots formed over 2 months ago, is there anything else that could help, or is his body just going to have to find a new way to route the blood. I'm open to all scientific and holistic approaches. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I can understand your predicament.
But this is a difficult situation to deal with. You could put him on one of the newer anti coagulants like Xarelto or Rivaroxaban which has lesser bleeding complications than coumadin. But you should discuss this with your Physician or Vascular Surgeon. They can advice you as to when it can be started.
Take care,
