Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Alobar, I recently started with an enzyme suppliment from http://www.enzymedica.com/first.html called Natto-K it is pricey as are their other enzymes which I use as well. Natto-K is a one of a kind, I haven't seen any like it and I do look and compare other brands. You can't buy their products at their web site. I got mine from my local health food store, she carries their products. I take one before bed, you can take 4 a day if you have serious clotting/circulation issues . Heres a brief exerp from the site. NATTO-K is a proprietary blend containing the enzyme Nattokinase NSK-SD, which has been shown to have a high fibrinolytic activity (breaks down fibrin). Excess fibrin has been shown to contribute to cardiovascular issues, high blood pressure, poor circulation and slow tissue repair. If you get a chance read it and let me know what you think. I've been using them for less than a week so far and its too soon to evaluate. Charlie > " Alobar " <alobar >This Airbag Keeps Clots at Bay > > I saw the article below in wired news.

Walking does that best, and if you're not walking, you can still be tapping your heels while you're sitting - tap hard enough that your thighs do some of the work.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I can't afford any new pricey supplements until I start making more money. I already spend over $100 a month on vitamins & supplements, and there are months I can't buy what I am running out of. In any case, I am not real sure what enzymes are going to do for bad circulation. I must say I am suspicious of any site which won't tell me the cost & talks about " two small human trials " as proof of anything. I just sit too much. I can exercise more, but I still sit many hours a day. Seems like something I can do while sitting down to keep the lymph flowing might be a good idea.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Alobar, Are you a paraplegaic? if not why not just get up and go for a walk or try isometric exercises (which I do even when walking or setting) want to move the lymphs? try a mini trampoline, jump rope,or just jump up and down depending on your ability all of these are good for circulation as well as oxeygenating the blood instead of pumping old stale blood back into circulation while sedentairy. All of these are very inexpensive and have a proven track record. Oh I almost forgot " restless leg syndrome " which someone else recommended. I have a twin brother who is in a wheelchair and I sent the airbag url to him. I'm interested in getting his reaction/opinion on it. Even in a wheelchair he exercises several days a week at a gym has weights at home and plays tennis as well as spending much too much time in the puter. My interest in the enzymes were related to people that may have blood clotting issues.....

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I walk up & down 4 flights of stairs about 4 times a day. Once a week I walk about a mile doing errands. But most of the time I sit at work or at my computer. I have edema in one foot. My ex-girlfriend may be sending me her rebounder for use when I am at home ,and if she does, I am hoping that will do the trick. I have tender feet and diabetes so I do not want to do anything like jumping rope as I am afraid it may cause me more harm than good.
