Anthony,
Thank you for your question. I'm not familiar with natto, other than a brief look at the information available online. However, if this is something you're really interested in, I would highly recommend discussing it with your doctor before making any changes. Since you've been on coumadin for so long, your body is used to it, and stopping suddenly may cause harmful side effects including blood clots. You can read more about Coumadin (generic name warfarin) at this website.
Best of luck,
Casey
