Cassia Cinnamon is evil!

The last post I did two years ago was about bleeding after antibiotics. It was a combination of things.

I had wanted to quit sugar, my last vice. Granted it was organic cane sugar but hey, still supposedly bad. I wish I had never tried to quit as I was having no problems. So I started putting a teaspoon of it in my coffee for breakfast.

Cinnamon was and is being touted as the new cure for everything. NOT! Only if it is Ceylon cinnamon only sold in spice and specialty stores. All other is cassia. Full of coumarin! This si a natural substance that coumadin ie rat poison is.

I started bleeding. I went for the tests. Nothing wrong, yank it out. Went for herbs. they did help, but they were not fixing it. So just when I was deciding that maybe I did need that horrid surgery, I read something on Reddit about Cassia. Oh my goodness. I went to my regular doctor who said it was probably like a nose bleed now and to be careful what I ate, no eggs or sugar or anything that might have a coumarin effect for awhile and let it heal. The most I might need would be something called an ablation.

It is healing. I had eggs and wine last night, no problem. It has been 5 months since I quit the cassia and I am winning!
