cruciferous vegetables without consulting their physician!

This OP is bad advice, because it is based on a lack of knowledge of drug interactions. The effects of following this advice for people taking heparin or another clot-prevention medication could be fatal. This is why threads on supplements are such a bad idea on a site like DU. They are generally posted by people who do not have sufficient medical education to know when the advice may be potentially dangerous to some people.

For that reason, I am locking this thread as a host in the Health Group.
