No — cayenne pepper is NOT a safe substitute for blood thinners.
Please do not stop blood thinners on your own.
Cayenne may mildly increase circulation, but
It cannot reliably thin blood
Stopping blood thinners suddenly can cause stroke, heart attack, or clots
Cayenne can also cause bleeding, stomach irritation, BP issues
After 42 years on blood thinners, your body depends on them.
Only a doctor (cardiologist/physician) can decide if dose can be reduced or stopped
