Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Lurker here, hoping Alternative medicine might be able to help with our problem. My husband has just been diagnosed with a blood clot from the back of his knee to his belly button. Miracle American Medicine has offered nothing in the way of help except coumadon to avoid additional clots. They say he will eventually absorb the clot. We have read most all of our medical books, regular and Alternative and find nothing except how to rid the blood and veins of cholesterol. Help! Anyone have some experience in this area???? Any help would be appreciated. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 There are many nutrients and foods that will clear clots and keep them from forming.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Do some research into nattokinase and serrapeptase. They are enzymes best known to dissolve blood clots. i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!ii!i <painfull_institution wrote: , " Steve McManus " <fmn@t...> wrote: > > Hi there!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've reveiewed a number of entries on this site with great interest. Thanks to all for their contributions. I've been wondering: does anyone have any information about the use of chealation therapy with regard to dealing with blood clots or clogged arteries? Also I'm curious as wheteher a regime of vinegar (natural apple cider with " mother " ) and garlic is of any use with regard to improving cirulation? It seems I've heard about that, would like some confirmation or rebuttal. sincerely, Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I used to be a nurse working for an alternative MD doing IV chelation therapy. I heard a lot of stories about how well the chelation worked for them. It cleared arteries; I never heard anybody mention blood clots. People would drive 8 hours for a three hour treatment and then drive another 8 hours home. What would you like to know?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 There are a number of things here you can do. I will give you the very condensed version and you will need to do some research for yourself. All the things being sited here have plenty of studies and information available. One of the things that helps this condition is L-arginine. It is a nitric oxide precusor and greatly improves circulation. It effects are noticed within a few hours or taking it by people who have severe circulation problems that cause things like blue finger tips and toes. this is also considered by many to be a better alternative than taking aspirin which only serves to thin the blood and carries a risk of a fatal brain hermorage, arginine helps prevent platelets sticking together which causes blood clots and strokes and increases circulation by causing the diameter of the veins to increase by releasing nitric oxide, the same mechanism that is used to control blood pressure and is used by the drug Viagria and nitro glycerine which is given for the same purpose in event of a heart attack to open up the diameter of the veins to relieve make the work load on the heart much easier. Here is one link on that, there are many more if you want to research it: http://www.angelfire.com/az/sthurston/arginine_vs_aspirin.html Fish oil helps with platelet aggrigation as well and lowers triglycerides. It is also an anti inflammitory and helps with irregular heartbeat as well as a number of other problems. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/print/druginfo/natural/patient- fishoil.html Vitiman C, Lysine and Proline can repair arterial damage and reverse arterial scerosis by removing the plaques over time and binding the lipoprotiens that cause the plaques to form. http://www.paulingtherapy.com/page2.html Coenzyme Q10 also helps in the circulatory system and for heart muscle strength. , " Arthur " <mlouisdor2000 wrote: > > I've reveiewed a number of entries on this site with great interest. > Thanks to all for their contributions. > > I've been wondering: does anyone have any information about the use of > chealation therapy with regard to dealing with blood clots or clogged > arteries?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Hello Christine, First of all if they FOUND blood clots in your lungs that is good that they found them! Personally if it were me I would take the heprin/comudin for a few months until they resolved. Seems like a serious problem. then find some Nattokinase suppliments. from WIKIPEDIA: Japanese often say that eating nattô is good for your health. Some of these claims are backed by medical research. Nattô for example contains a compound Pyrazine, which not only gives nattô its distinct smell, but also reduces the likelihood of blood clotting. It also contains a serine protease type enzyme called nattokinase[1] which may also reduce blood clotting both by direct fibrinolysis of clots, and inhibition of the plasma protein plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. This may help to avoid thrombosis, as for example in heart attacks, pulmonary embolism, or strokes. An extract from nattô containing nattokinase is available as a dietary supplement. Studies have shown that oral administration of nattokinase in enteric capsules leads to a mild enhancement of fibrinolytic activity in rats [2] and dogs. It is therefore plausible to hypothesize that nattokinase might reduce blood clots in humans, although clinical trials have not been conducted. Good Luck!! ::patty:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for it and read about it at this website: http://DrDavidWilliams.com I would also eat lots of raw garlic, or aged garlic products like Kyolic, or Strauss Heart Drops. http://straussheartdrops.com Kris again: <I am also curious about alternative routes for pain management. They currently have me on oxycontin and because I am not comfortable taking the narcotic, I rarely do.> Kris, smart you for looking into alternatives! What is causing your pain ? You might start by learning Emotional Freedom Technique. there is a free handbook and a handy PowerPoint presentation that is easier to learn from in the files section of the group.
