This is the first that I think I've ever heard of any beneficial aspects of Warfarin besides anticoagulation and as a rat poison

This is really interesting to me. I have not heard of anything that seems to help these hepatitis C patients. Their doctors do order sonograms every year looking for cirrhosis and tumors.I guess this they can treat. As for warfarin I have advised patients for years not to be afraid of it- it may be good for you.
