canada's cronut burger but at least they are taking chances, granted at the risk of their cholesterol and burger king should know better than anyone, if you want to make an omelet, break eggs, which means good for you for experimenting but maybe do more than add fries. is america still the burger king? and who makes your favorite burger. and "ac 360" is up next. jessica, thanks. good evening everyone. with washington talking war, we'll talk about what military action against syria would actually mean to american interests, american lives and millions of syrians living and dying under a dictator. >> and part two of america's worst charity when it comes to how much money they raise for dying children, and how little they actually spend on them. we're keeping them honest. the people that say not vaccinating their children is a matter of faith, putting everyone at risk of childhood

diseases that we sometimes forget can kill. dr. sanjay gupta ways in. we begin with syria. the drums of war growing louder but tough questions what kind of military action it might be. defense secretary hagel says american forces are in his words ready to go if ordered to strike. four navy distroyers have targets within range of missiles. a number of submarines believed to be in the mediterranean. they may hit if they continue to did nigh responsible outside damascus. the obama administration is promising to release new ease n intelligence shortly. president biden sounded 100% convinced. >> no undoubts that innocent men, women and children have been the victims of chemical wells attacks in syria, and

there is no doubt who is responsible for this heinous use of chemical weapons in syria. the syrian regime. >> there is ample evidence of an atrocity on the ground. there is exclusive video from shortly after the attack and joins us by phone from damascus. >> what is the plan for continued strong language? >> reporter: i think they are hearing it. i was in with the information administration store who is a powerful figure and he spoke differently than i seen syrian officials speak in the past couple days. before that you would hear them say if attacked, syria would fight back. the syrian people would rise up. you still hear that rhetoric but a lot less bold, and it comes of course after statements like secretary of state kerry yesterday and the one from vice president biden today. right now what i'm hearing them

say is the u.s. ought to give the u.n weapons inspectors on the ground here more time to do their work and wait for their assessment. of course, the u.s. has gone a step further and says the syrian government is starting to realize it's less a question if the u.s. and allies will strike and rather more a question of when. that's the mood i got today from a meeting with the information minister of this country. >> fred, you obtained exclusive video from an area allegedly hit with chemical weapons. what does the video tell us? what does it show? >> reporter: it was taken by an independent film maker, shows the district of these alleged chemical weapons attack with the highest death toll. more than 400 people killed. it shows a lot there, that it was used as a mass grave. it was plowed over. there was graves made there, a lot of bodies placed in there

and very little space left in that area to put more bodies into. the thing is that the filmer that went into the ground there said inside the makeshift field hospital they had there, there are still a lot of bodies laying in there that have not been claimed. they can't find the relatives of those people. so there is a lot of dead bodies and children inside that field hospital. a lot of deaths, a lot of destruction down there. the people told the filmer that a lot of people died in their sleep because it hit at 2:00 in the morning and they died before they woke up. there are tails of survival. there was one man that made a makeshift gas mask out of a cup, cotton and cole to make a filter. that's how he survived. a very surreal scene where many hundred people died. >> appreciate the report. be careful. we're looking at what president

might do how and what help? we'll focus narrowly on the pluses and minuses. first, the broad strokes the staff writer, peter for the daily beast and editor of the daily beast blog and fred town son on the homeland of security and chief national correspondent john king. we were told the u.s. would release a declassified report on syria, perhaps with information about this attack. you're hearing there is a debate in the administration. >> there is a debate what to release. look, there are memories, right, of the failed intelligence prior to going into iraq about wmd. so i think administration feels compelled to release some information that, you know, under scores and verifies what you heard president biden say today, absolutely the regime absolutely used chemical weapons.

the question and debate becomes, anderson, how much do you reveal? is enough to convince the international community you really do have solid proof of the regime's use of these awful weapons versus how do you protect the sources -- >> so that's the concern, whether it's interception of signals intelligence or something like that or on apptive on the ground. >> correct. >> they don't want to reveal that? >> that's exactly right. so you want to give as much detail as you can without revealing sources and methods. >> in your reporting, everybody focuses on this attack and the knowledge of one smaller attack before. in your reporting you've seen there were as many as 35 other chemical attacks. >> yeah, yeah, i mean, i talked to a number of -- i talked to somebody and a number of syrian groups trying to track these things, and what you had, basically, over the past several months is a series of low level attacks, maybe 30 or 35 and the total number of people killed, total is only about 150.

>> prior to the last attack. >> prior. this last one is completely different. >> we don't know the exact numbers at this point. there is people buried and names not known and people who still haven't been buried. >> it looks like maybe more than a thousand dead but the strategy until now i think is we use this and use it to cause panic and prepare the battle ground for when the troops go in, and they got away with it by in large and so obviously, he decided to go big. >> because, it mean the red line comment was that a year ago, if memory serves me correct. >> yes. >> and you find this move by assad interesting because the title of the battle. >> you would think somebody who did what apparently the regime did last week would be desperate, and by all accounts his situation is much less

decemb desperate than six months ago. >> why do it? >> i think he thought he would get away with it. if you look at the red line, president obama laid down the red line a year ago. if in fact there has been as many as 35 attacks, what price has assad paid for that? they wanted to send rifles and bullets to the rebels but there is no evidence those arrived yet. >> we were reporting like a big change of policy but in fact, not much on the ground changed. >> or nothing on the ground. >> or nothing. >> so far for assad there is no price to pay. >> john, we heard from secretary kerry yesterday, secretary hagel this afternoon, biden this afternoon, will we hear from a president before an attack? in memory, we don't usually hear from a president before the attack. >> that's a debate within administration and the conversation you're having under sorps the credibility challenge. there was plans to release more

intelligence today, perhaps satellite images, there is a tug-of-war within administration what to do. we hear from the prime minister of great britain and france and some are saying when will we hear from the president of the united states. they are trying to get more people publicly on their side. a lot of phone calls into the arab world and in the arab world they are getting a lot of go for it, good luck but not public endorsements from these countries right now. at the moment with the exception of great britain and france, when it comes to a military perspective and people willing to stand with you as public allies and public endorsements, it's a lonely job. >> it's interesting, nobody can say that they haven't known what has been happening in the ground in syria. it's been documented in cell phone video from the first demonstrations in dara and 100,000 people have been killed, but 1,000 people dying from a chemical attack that spurred the u.s. does that make sense to you?

>> this is different from libya in that we're not trying to end the conflict. if you look at what kerry said a couple days ago, what is amazing is he said nothing at all really about the larger syrian civil war other than the chemical weapon strike. they were trying to isolate it and say we're trying to make a statement globally about non-use of chemical weapons but one might think the lesson to dictators around the world could be butcher your citizens in other ways. so i mean, obviously, it would be terrible to have a taboo on this chemical weapons but if this is successful as possible, assad doesn't use chemical weapons, there will be a day syria will spiral toward a more and more horrendous civil war. >> they aren't talking about changing the kak lus on the ground, just not use chemical weapons. >> you can't hit the chemical weapons themselves or storage sites because you release chemicals. the under yapgss are, we don't

know yet, but they will attack some units that used chemical weapons. that's not going to change, that's not going to materially change the nature of that conflict at all. >> is part of that, anybody, is part of that reflection within the concern of the administration and around the world after assad they knn what? the al qaeda inspired groups? >> right, i think that's exactly what the concern is and they are saying -- they are not doing this to tip the balance of power because it's not clear where it goes. >> they don't want to break it or own it. >> can they not own snit president obama has a clear vision throughout the presidency. he'll get out of the two wars and rebuild america's strength at home and doesn't want to be too distracted but we're facing a big test whether in fact, america cannot be districted. we're being brought into this. what happens if jordan next door starts to teeter? if this gets worse and worse

american remains the hedge mon in that region and itself defeating to stay out because you get pulled in at a later and worse point. >> the president runs the risk, frankly, of even if he launches a cruise missile strike, the analogy after the east africa bombings when the clinton administration did the same thing and we wind up with 9/11. so a cruise missile strike all by itself -- >> regan fired cruise missiles into tent and a few people were killed. that was about it. >> john, what is also so interesting, i don't hear from anybody -- there is no enthusiasm about this in any quarter in the united states. nobody really wants to go down this road. the population -- you know, the voer voters included. >> the american is public with 12 years in afghanistan from the financial cost and human cost. the president helped shape that public opinion in his

presidential campaign. it's time to get out and focus elsewhere and not have a military presence in this part of the world. in congress, he'll have some supporters. he'll be muted because he's a democrat tick president. what is the bipartisan agreement, skeptical you can do this. what the administration is talking about, look at a map. this is not delivering blunt force trama knowing you won't impact california. look how close lebanon and israel is and iran and will be looking to take advantage there are skeptics, experts, i talked to retired general how will you do what they try to do without there being a ripple effect, reaction in a very tightly packed messed up neighborhood. >> dexter, there are legitimate concerns what happens if he does fall and what kind of retributions for their actions over the last two years. >> yeah, you can just imagine what is going to happen when

assad finally goes and it's not going to be pretty, yeah. probably they will all go to lebanon. they will run for the borders, or it's just going to get really ugly for them. >> dexter, great to have you on the show, all my guests. what exactly are the military options and the likely choices peter and dexter mentioned could leave the chemical weapons untouched. the special report on the charity spot that earned a spot on the bottom. playing your simpympathy for dy kids. >> they wanted sick kids? >> uh-huh. >> who told you that? >> anna. >> the boss? >> uh-huh. >> this is outrageous. if you didn't see part one, tune in. they raised tens of millions of dollars to help dying kids. they spent 3 cents on every dollar to help kids. you'll get sick when you learned where most of that money really

went. we'll be right back. for pain and swelling? apply cold therapy in the first 24 hours. but not just any cold. i only use new thermacare® cold wraps. targettemp technology delivers a consistent, therapeutic cold to stop pain and start healing. new thermacare® cold wraps. a better way to treat pain. to stop pain and start healing. help the gulf when we made recover and learn the gulf, bp from what happened so we could be a better, safer energy company. i can tell you - safety is at the heart of everything we do. we've added cutting-edge technology, like a new deepwater well cap and a state-of-the-art monitoring center, where experts watch over all drilling activity twenty-four-seven. and we're sharing what we've learned, so we can all produce energy more safely. our commitment has never been stronger.

as sad a sad.

these are serious days, america's fighting men and women could be days away from action against syria. there are missiles, four in the met terrain yin. there are british forces. the navy does not traditionally disclose locations. the question is whether and how to use assets. what kind of action to take and towards what strategic goal. the aim would be to detour the assad regime from using chemical weapons again, not targeting the stockpiles or regime itself.

retired army general, and christopher harmer, senior naval analyst for the institute of the study of war. general marks, let me start with you. no u.s. troops on the ground. was the message out of the white house today. the leading options appear to be an option involving cruise missiles. what does that look like, and what does that entail? >> well, specifically, it's a confusing message if the message is we want to attack assad's ability to conduct military operations and there will be a punitive operation through the use of precision strike, whether they are from sea base ordinary submarine or land based capabilities. but at the same time, we're trying to decouple regime change from this operation, and it's very difficult to do that. so it will be very, very precisely coordinated, nato has done this before.

i would imagine they will do this again, and we'll see contributions from other nations against very precise known intelligence naval forces of the syrian regime to eliminate that very conventional capability. >> and unlikely, i mean, how easy would it be to take out the syrian anti-aircraft capabilities? without that we wouldn't see nato or u.s. or european fighter jets over syria? >> right, no fixed wing if that were the case. you would see unmanned vehicles for intelligence collection and for precision strike, but you've got to go after the eye adds, the integrated air defense capabilities at the top of the target list. whenever you conduct an operation like that it blinds assad's ability to respond and get a sense of what is being done against him at that very moment. then you go after his commander control, he can't communicate with forces and some of his forces that could take the

initiative and respond independently like naval forces and air forces, as well. >> chris, you authored a study while making a case for intervention and it outlines how the u.s. could degrade assa's military with crude missiles. i know you've since changed your thi thinking. you said a limited strike. >> the limited strike in the absence of a strategic is the limited options. if we go in to punish assad that doesn't make sense. we need objective. i offer that study before the use of chemical weapons and it was specific to degrading or destroying the syrian air force. that mission is a very easily accomplished mission, but that's only part of the mission we have now or options we have. our strategic interests go far beyond seeing assad stop using the air force to stop attacking civilians. we have to deal with the issue of proliferation and i don't see

what the point is if we're not going all in on one side or the other. >> but -- >> they are just trying to level the playing field, we'll extend the mystery. >> can you do that, though? can you tell -- you can't hit the chemical weapons facilities because won't that dead nate the chemical weapons? >> yeah, there are bad options, there are worse options, and there are horrible options. the horrible options to let the chemical weapons disburse and wind up in the hands of al qaeda or terrorist organizations that have no restrictions on the willingness to use them. it may be a bad option to attack chemical weapons in place that will cause some civilian collateral damage but that's a prefble outcome to seeing them disburtsed abomong al qaeda. the cruise attack is a great option. the assad air force is prime to be taken down in one strike. past that, if we're going to do that, we should go all in on the mission of completely destroying

syria's chemical weapon capability, otherwise stay out. >> andrew, you're a former special operations officer. how do you see this? do you think the best options are and in terms of -- they aren't even talking about ending the conflict, which is not possible to do simply from the air or even if it was american boots on the ground, not even clear that's possible. >> well, i think coming at this from a slightly different perspective i've been doing interviews with syrian refugees and desserters and all the options i hear people talk about, what i'm seeing is these young men desserting from a syrian military who were as much hostages of the regime than anyone in syria. there is as much victims of what is going on. whatever happens in the next couple days, they will suffer and be underneath american bombs and missiles and whatever the strategic objectives, i think it's clear we're not talking about ending the war. so all these -- the syrian young

men that will die in the next few days, i guess the question is whether the reputation of america's promises are worth what it is we're about to do on the ground in syria. >> so what -- you're -- you don't support this idea of a strike? >> i -- if it's not -- i find the situation too many unknowns for any military option to reasonably be putting us towards ending the war and if we don't talk about ending the war, i'm not exactly sure this is a worthy objective. so just in -- just in light of ending the mystery in syria, i don't think it will put us forward one bit and it will just complicate whatever the next chapter is. >> general marks, do you see this as ending the misery in syria or as even a step in that direction? even -- >> no -- >> cut out chemical weapons, 100,000 people have been killed

by other means than chemical weapons. >> anderson, here is the confusing part is that if we want to be punitive against assad and we're going after his ability to employ his conventional military forces and to deliver chemical weapons, that will do nothing to eliminate assad and his regime. we learned this lesson in iraq when the initial mission was to remove saddam. it crept into replace saddam. regime change of some sort leads to a distugs of having boots on the ground so you can separate warring factions, you can make sense of the chaos on the ground and hopefully move in the direction of eliminating slaughter. this is, as has been discussioned, bad options for the united states. that doesn't mean the united states should not act. >> thank you-all for being on.

a lot more to talk about in the days ahead. we'll watch very closely. tonight a charity that collects millions to grant wishings for dying children. sounds great. turns out, they spend next to nothing on the wishes. two more whistle-blowers are speaking out and a shocking message gave members and now they are in the thick of a measles outbreak. dr. sanjay gupta says it's plain dangerous. what you need to know about vaccines. he joins me ahead. ssible collision threats. and in certain situations it can apply the brakes. introducing the all-new 2014 chevrolet impala with available crash imminent braking. always looking forward. while watching your back. that's american ingenuity to find new roads. and recently the 2013 chevrolet impala received the j.d. power award for highest ranked large car in initial quality.

welcome back, keeping them honest, more tonight on a charity that pulled on strings and opened wallets raising money from donors but spending nothing on children that are claimed to be sick and dying. we reported on a rogue of shady charities but they are in a class of their own. we've identified it as the absolute worst charity, the rock bottom when it comes to how little out of each dollar they raise they actually spend helping those they claim to be raising money for. last night we told you about a former employee who blew the whistle and paid a steep price. the fbi showed up at her two. tonight, two more whistle blowers are speaking out here is part two. >> reporter: they are afraid of showing their faces because they are afraid on getting sued for

what they say is the real truth bekind the kid's wish network. the charity raises millions and millions of dollars, $22 million last year according to the most recent tax filing. but uses less than 3% of that cash to fulfill wishes of sick children. the kids wish network does fulfill wishes, but these employees say not by buying them with cash, the trips, airline tickets, amusement parks are donated and that includes toys and school supplies and clothes given away when kids wish network holds events for sick children. >> whatever we had in the warehouse we would try to fit. >> reporter: was it company's left overers. >> that's what it seemed like, yeah. >> reporter: what happens to the donated money? in ten years kids wish network raised $127 million and nearly 90% of that went to professional

fundraisers, not sick kids. the sick kids, they got at most 2.5 cents of every dollar raised. the charity's attorney says there is nothing illegal about the fund raising. maybe not but this former marketing associate said there was something wrong to him about how they did it. at events where sick children were given the surplus kids, his job was to photograph the kids for promotional purposes, and he was told the sicker, the better. >> they wanted the most sick kids, and i can understand a little bit where they were going but my view maybe they should show the kids being satisfied but not just upset, sad kids. that was my thought process, just never heard. >> so they wanted sick kids. >> uh-huh, that's what will make them the money. >> reporter: who told you that? >> anna. >> reporter: the boss? >> uh-huh. >> reporter: the boss, anna runs the charity we've rated as the worst in the united states, and

no, she's not talking. hi, drew griffin with cnn. >> hey, drew, nice to see you. >> reporter: nice to see you. can we just ask you some questions about the ratings that have come out -- >> no, i'm sorry, there is so many misleading reports that have been made we asked our attorneys to look into everything. >> reporter: local news channels and the tampa florida area have done several reports. last year the city of san vvann georgia cancelled an event after the mayor criticized the practices. still people give millions and millions believing the dollars will help sick children when in truth, it is literally pennies of the dollars being used. does it surprise you that after all the reporting done on this group they are still in business? >> absolutely. >> it surprises me every single day. >> i mean, it's just so

sickening listening to -- they raised $127 million over ten years, and are giving 3 cents on the dollar actually to kids and basically getting the dow nated things and giving to kids. there is a lot of reporting on the kids wish network from us and "tampa bay times," wfla kept close track. have state regulators done anything? >> anderson, a spokesperson for the florida department of agriculture and affairs which regulates the non-profits confirms there is an investigation on going into the dealings of the kid's wish network. the state got lots of complaints but we've seen it time and time again the investigations open up and close. at most they get a small fine. that's largely, anderson, because, you know, the laws regarding charities, they don't really punish you for being a really, really bad charity. so you can continue to be a bad charity. you're not breaking the law. the kids wish network has faced

fines before in utah and mississippi. the fines, all those fines added up to a little more than $6,000. >> unbelievable. how that woman sleeps at night and she's there shaking her hand and acting like everything is proper. this kid's wish network, they have been around a long, long time. >> since 1997, and listen to this, this is interesting. it began with a different name. the fulfill the wish foundation, which sounds a lot like make a wish, right, anderson? >> yeah. >> the folks at make a wish actually sued forcing fulfill a wish to change the name. that's how they got to the kids wish network. we found that as quite common, too. the less than forthcoming charities they want names that sound very much like respected charities. >> the bottom line, there are good charities out there. people can go to charity navigator to find out actual ratings of charities. >> you really should. the last thing you should do is have the phone ring and find a

tell marketer and telling you what they will do with the money. you should hang up the phone. >> that's how they raise money, the tell marketers not associated. >> unbelievable. >> if you have a story idea for drew and the investigation team let us know at cnn.com/investigate. a measles outbreak at a texas mega church has dr. sonja gupta talking. he says time to debunk the autism myth. the fire is growing into yosemite, back on the front lines tonight. hey love.

tonight, a potentially deadly collision of personal faith and public health. a measles outbreak at a texas church sickened more than a dozen people including an inf t infant. in hindsight, anyone could have seen it coming. it long preached against vaccinations but officials didn't stop there. they played on parent's fears about autism even though claims about vaccines causing autism

have been debunked. the measles virus hitch add ride from half way around the globe. randi kaye reports. >> reporter: it started with a visitor from the mountain eagle church a. visitor that traveled overseas, then at church hugged parishioners and handled babies in the church daycare. unknowingly, spreading a dangerous measles virus. >> we have families affected by this so we want to shut it down. >> reporter: more than a few, 16 cases of the measles originated including seven adults and nine children. the youngest is you're four months old. health officials say 11 of the victims have never been vaccinated. not surprising considering the pastors father spoken out about children suggesting a link to

autism. listen to the recent broadcast posted. >> as parents we need to be a whole lot more serious about this and being aware of what is good and what isn't and you don't take the word of the guy that's trying to give the shot about what's good and what isn't. you better go read the can or read the thing. find out what is going on there. >> reporter: medical officials have found no link between vaccines and autism. as one expert put it, measles has a way of finding people that aren't vaccinated and not just texas. this past spring 50 children in an orthodox juiewish community t it. they hadn't been vaccinated, either because too young or their parents refused the vaccine. in 2011 there were 21 cases reported in a somali community in minneapolis. concerns about the vaccine being linked to autism drove vaccination rates down to 57%.

other measles outbreaks have been reported in recent years in san diego, indiana, north carolina and elsewhere among unvaccinated people. back at eagle mountain international church, the pastor released this statement online. it reads in part, some people think i am against immunizations, but that is not true. she's not urging members to be vaccinated at a free county clinic. >> if you read the old testament, you find it's full of precautionary measures. >> reporter: as long as the precautionary measures are in line with the church's belief of faith healing. >> go in faith. do it in faith. do it in faith. do it in faith. now, if you're somebody and you know that you know that you know that you got this covered in your household by faith, and it crosses your heart of faith, well then don't go do it. >> reporter: on it's website, the church urges anyone with a medical condition to first seek

the wisdom of god, then appropriate medical attention, including vaccinations from a professional they trust. randi kaye, cnn, new york. so it's interesting. on one hand it sounds like the pastor saying go get vaccinated and she's saying if you think you got it covered, don't do it. so they aren't doing a complete 180 on vaccinations. the pastor is sending mixed, possibly dangerous messages. dr. sanjay gupta is a neurosurgeon, father of three. he joins me now. sanjay, you have the pastor saying seek the counsel of god first and then a medical professional after that. given how fast measles can spread, is that dangerous? >> look, we know a lot about measles. the vaccination has within around a long time. it's very contagious. if kids are not vaccinated and come into contact they will get it and of 1,000 that get it, one to two will die.

you can trace the to jeraject t and you have people with it and clulsers in the united states you increases in the numbers of measles cases, you see increases in the number of deaths. we saw that in the 80s. it's one of the clearest examples i think of vaccines with the specific disease providing benefits. >> and this misperception that vaccines cause autism, it's been around for awhile, not just pushed by religious leaders but well-known people and stuff. i mean, is there any reason not to get your children vaccinate snd. >> there is no reason not to get your child vaccinated -- >> not only as a doctor but father. >> as a father. i got my kids vaccinated on schedule. this is another thing. the notion to delay vaccines and push them off because we think the kids are getting too many at once. that doesn't have scientific mer merit. first of all, we used to provide a lot more in the types of

vaccines to kids years and years ago, decades ago. if you think this is too much of an insult to a child eelsz body, i understand that but we used to do far more and didn't have the rates of autism than we have now. they used to create a more anti body response as a result of things like polio for example. you get a more robust response which is a concern people raise. it doesn't seem to translate. the vaccines themselves. the schedule, the components, none of them seem to have a link to autism. people need to say it that clearly. there is so much wish washing. it's okay to delay vaccines, it not okay. if your kid gets exposed during that time, you can get a very sick child from a preventable disease. >> so why do you think this misperception why it's still out there? >> i think there is two reasons. one, there is this now widely

discredited paper in the mid '90s that made thisling. we spoke to dr. wake field about some of his findings at that time. he subsequently lost his medical license a few years ago. he probably had good intentions dr. wakefield but the study didn't make sense. is there a link between vaccines and autism? they looked at 1,000 children at american academy of pediatrics and followed the children over years and put a final sort of, this notion to rest that there is some link. the american academy of pediatrics, looking at the real science here have been able to say that. >> thanks. >> you got it. thank you. up next, the fight to save yosemite. an up close look at the fire threatening the park at san francisco's water supply and a sad end to the search for a teenager who had an obsession with the movie "into the wild." .

but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it

as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
