Heart attack and stroke are among
the most common and devastating manifestations of thrombosis, and
represent the most prevalent cause of death and disability in our
culture today. With directed support relying primarily on natural
nutritional and herbal supplementation, I believe that these gruesome
statistics can be changed. Of course, as a first step, elimination
of refined foods from the diet, institution of adequate lymphatic
stimulation, particularly through rebounding, and replacement of various
sweet, acidic and stimulating drinks with highly alkaline antioxidant
water is essential to the erradication of all culturally based disease.
Some of the common risk factors
involved in thrombosis, and their most common key antidotes recommended
by Remission Foundation as of December, 1998 are:
| Arterial wall inflammation |
Antioxidant water (Microwater
or Coral), MSM,
Ester-C Complex and Maxogenol |

| Thrombotic stroke |
Activase (t-PA), Hydergine, Magnesium
glycinate (up to 1500 mg elemental magnesium orally) hGH (or BHB)

followed by Ginkgo biloba (build up to 3 a day), green
tea extract, etc. |
| Tissue plasminogen activity (tPA) deficiency |

20% of strokes are hemorhagic, often related to aneurysm. Prevention
includes supplementation of Copper Aspartate (often together with
Zinc), quercetin and bilberry to enhance vessel wall strength and
flexibility. Immediate treatment with the drugs Hydergine and piracetam
(European) is recommended. Avoid taking blood thinning products like
aspirin (indefinitely), white willow and ginkgo biloba (for at least
a couple weeks).
