Sunshine beneficial for people who clot

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I've been lurking for a while now and wish to report a part of my

experience with holistic healing to you.

I have a genetic tendency to clot and had been on blood thinners

since I was 28 for fifteen years. Only 2 years ago I quit the blood

thinners and after quitting them found out I am one of 3% of people

who respond to them by becoming hyper-coagulable. My left leg has

filled with clot before repeatedly. Interesting that the original

clot had created symptoms for 2 weeks before they found it. The

first time they looked for it, they didn't find it as they did not

look high enough in the veing. When they found it, it was still only

the size of a marble. Then five days later having been on i.v.

heparin the clot had grown down to my knee. The blood thinners

should make a person dissolve the clot and now there was an article

that came out in 2002 in the Pst Graduate Journal of Medicine that

says if a person is on heparin and clots worse or their clot grows to

take them OFF the heparin and NOT administer coumadin. Naturally,

when they had me finally " anti-coagulated " on coumadin they sent me

home but I was back n a matter of days, the clot having grown again

this time to mid calf, though I had been following doctor's orders to

elevate my leg.

To make a long story short, I clotted numerous times while on

blood thinners and even while my blood was VERY anticoagulated with

HIGH protimes. Now I am doing better than ever having QUIT the

coumadin and I am sustained by sunshine and try to eat a healthy diet

avoiding too much cheese or meat and including lots of tomato, fresh

cut pineapple, and herbs like dong quai that inhibit clotting,

dissolve clots, or assist the mobility of the blood somehow.

A study was done (I found it on the net) that showed people who

drank a cup of tomato juice a day had something like a 23% less

likelihood of clotting than the test group who did not drink the

tomato juice.

Raw garlic is also good for " thinning " the blood.

There is also a study that shows low level uv radiation unchains

red blood cells. I have personally found sunshine to be very

beneficial. In particular, sungazing, which is an ancient practice

and which I learned on this site: http://www.solarhealing.com

 

I hope this information is useful to somebody cuz I was supposed to

be on blood thinners for " the rest of my life " and it seems I am

doing better without them. Not even my doctor will prescribe them to

me anymore.

 

Blessings & Peace,

Sunny

I also read recently that as little as one half of a raw onion daily

can make a significant difference in the clotting tendency. (i.e.

making a person less likely to clot -- cleaning out the blood).

Thanks for your story, Sunny!

 

This makes me think of my father-in-law and all the people who are on

blood thinners. He has told by his doctors to avoid all green

vegetables and many other things. Doctors should be advising to eat

all sorts of food especially different herbs. Many herbs thin the

blood, at least a lot of the tasty ones I enjoy. Doctors need to catch

on that in many cases the answer should be more healthy food, not drugs

and diet restrictions.

Some of them will even try to scare you away from natural things like

raw garlic, a natural food, saying only it will interfere with coumadin

therapy. But, I did have a very informed doc at one time on a

different health plan than we have not, and he did admit to me that raw

garlic will elevate the protime (thin the blood) and did not try to

sacre me away from taking it. One should watch the protime/inr however

if/when experimenting with certain foods and herbs as they will effect

it and sometimes dramatically. Natural vitamin E in combination with

Vitamin C has also been shown to have healing influence on the veins,

in addition to vitamin E having also a thinning effect on the blood.

I'll never forget when I was still taking the blood thinners and

learned about the vitamin E. I started supplementing with it and when

I mentioned it to the coumadin clinic, the technician was shocked and

warned me that vitamin E can cause bleeding. And I wondered what kind

of denial she wasin because COUMADIN is Rat Poison and can cause you to

bleed to DEATH. I've never bled as a result of a vitamin e supplement

but did experience the enjoyable side effect of the callouses on my

heals of my feet disappearing entirely. I have read however that the

synthetic vitamin E has a reverse effect on some people, thus

highlighting the importance of taking Natural and not synthetic

vitamins.

 

Peace,

Sunny

The Greens were probably strengthening his liver and colon and

eventualy he wouldn't need as many drugs,,hence, less office visits,

hence less money in Dr's pockets! I gained 18lbs due to divorce related

stress. M.D. put me on HBP meds,=Hi Blood Sugar= more meds, hi

cholesteral due to eating too much shrimp days before test,,more meds,

liver problems later on,,more meds! That's why I joined this group

instead of seeing my M.D. and whipping his unowat. --- In

-Good ol' fashion juice of a lemon in the mornin' on an empty

stomach. Thins blood and cleanses the liver! Read the instructions on

your meds. Blood Press meds warn against citric juices while taking

meds. The last thing they warn you about is the damage they " might "

cause to liver, kidneys, etc. More and more people are reading labels

at the grocery store. What about at the pharmacy?-- In
