The Truth About Clot-Dissolving Drugs
Bob Livingston | Aug 09, 2012 | Comments 23 |
Clot-dissolving drugs that are supposed to help you avoid heart and brain death could actually make you feel worse. This has been proven conclusively in a landmark medical study.
In the study, published in the American Heart Journal, 279 heart patients were divided into three groups. The first group was given aspirin. The second group was given warfarin, a popular clot-dissolving drug. The third group was given nothing.
Nothing Positive
Researchers found that neither the aspirin nor the warfarin had any positive benefits whatsoever. These drugs produced no substantial changes in the incidence of non-fatal heart attacks, non-fatal brain attacks or deaths. But they did have dangerous side effects.
Both aspirin and warfarin increased the chances of internal bleeding. Aspirin also increased the likelihood of stomach problems. Plus, aspirin was two times as likely as warfarin to contribute to heart failure within 12 months.
Instead of relying on these drugs, you might want to consider a natural solution instead. Nattokinase helps dissolve blood clots naturally — without dangerous side effects.
Nattokinase — The Ultimate Blood Thinner
The Japanese had always suspected that nattokinase (natto) could save your heart and brain. But Dr. Hiyosuki Sumi and his fellow researchers scientifically proved this starting back in 1980. Not only is natto a potent clot-dissolving enzyme, but it is also a powerful blood thinner.
Most American doctors prescribe dangerous drugs like heparin and Coumadin® to thin blood. However, these blood thinners have been known to cause internal bleeding. Even aspirin — when taken every day — can cause internal bleeding in an otherwise healthy stomach.
Nattokinase is a natural alternative that supports smooth and free-flowing blood. It helps reverse the thickening of your blood (which is also known as hyper-coagulation) and helps restore normal circulation — which is a vital part of your total body health.
Improved blood circulation can help reduce the symptoms of chronic conditions like inflammation, blood sugar problems, pain, muscle spasms and even chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia.
According to Dr. Martin Milner, “Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia are very difficult to treat. What is usually ignored is circulatory impairment and excess clotting. It’s a new thought in alternative medicine to consider that someone is chronically fatigued because their blood clots excessively and they’re not getting enough blood (and consequently, enough oxygen and nutrients) to their tissues.”
The Real Experts
The Japanese are the real experts on nattokinase. When you are taking nattokinase as a dietary supplement (as I have for many years), make sure you use the authentic nattokinase from Japan such as the NSK-SD® brand of nattokinase from Japan Bioscience Laboratories (JBSL). JBSL is the authority on nattokinase and has done the vast majority of the scientific research on nattokinase.
Garlic
Garlic is an exceptional food. It can be used to improve the flavor of food, and it elevates acid foods at least 0.5 in the alkaline direction. It is powerful for sexual energy, high blood pressure and numerous other conditions.
Garlic is also an anticoagulant — a natural blood thinner.

i think the above article is believable. I have been taking Serracor-NK, which contains Serrapeptase abd Nattokinase enzymes. I stopped Plavix entirely (I had angioplasty with stents in 2007). Last year, I had Thallium Test to determine if I have restinosis (reclosing of arteries). The result showed negative and my heart efficiency rate is 75%.
Hey Roger S are u for real or is this all [expletive deleted] just to flog another product to the desperate
Were you able to buy nattokinase NSK-SD® here in US?
Can you share the source?

I was told I have deficiency in my protein c and s in my blood. Had a DVT and emolism in lungs in 2008. Been on coumadin, and I hate it. Do yo yhink I couid take nato ? I would love to try it. They say INR cannot be regulated. I also have alot of varicose veins. Help.
Do not mix coumadin & nattokinase. Takes awhile to get rid of clogging of arteries, but will help get under control – you do not want aa product to react quickly. Natto will help. AMA will never recommend it since it is all natural.
There must be plenty proof that any substance produces positive results before it will get the blessings of the traditional medicine community. It’s a shame that there are not any regulatory measures in place to make sure your getting what your paying for in the supplement industry. In a perfect world, we could trust the manufacturer or distributor, but that is not the case. Sometimes, it’s a matter of life and death. Know your source and be well.
My Mom is on Pradaxa after getting a Pacemaker. Some days are better than others but as she cannot have repeated blood tests as only one arm is useable. Any thoughts on this drug?

I’ve been seeing commercials on tv about the dangers of Pradaxa. Do some research on heart health. http://www.healthy-heart-guide.com/ Best wishes to you and mom.
Nattokinase is an excellent heart blood pressure controller for HB
P and stroke preventative – we have been taking it for years.
Any conflict with taking natto while on statin such as Crestor?
We refuse to take statins – too many adverse reactions to them.
Hey Olin Poole,
You seem very authoritative in your posts. What are your qualifications?

where can you buy this product??????
I have been taking nattokinase for a few months now and it cleared up my angina attacks as well as intermittant claudication. Maria
Nattokinase and serrapeptase are available at most health food stores. Also thru holistic health practitioners. They’re safe…a lot safer than coumadin and most other drugs. You can’t stop coumadin suddenly or clots will form. You have to wean yourself off of it. Life Extension in south FL carries serrapeptase and many other effective products. They also publish a very informative magazine which is sent to members. It’s a myth pushed by the medical industry that there aren’t any regulations on the supplement industry. All the major supplement manufacturers follow Good Manufacturing Practices and are monitored regularly by the FDA. There is actually more fraud occurring in the drug industry such as falsified clinical trials, etc. Also renegade drug distributors can buy stuff from overseas. the results can be deadly. Tens of thousands of Americans die each year from overdose of prescription drugs, Not so with supplements.

So true in what you state in your post. It’s good to know your source. There are some dishonest distributors out there. You may find your health compromised by taking inferior supplements.
How will the INR readings differ when switching from Coumadin to Nattokinase ?
Jerry ~
It’s always best to thin the blood naturally by altering your diet and avoid foods that increase platelet aggregation. Search natural ways to thin blood and foods that cause platelet aggregation. Nattokinase must be taken empty stomach, two hours before and two hours after. Your readings will differ according to the quality of the blood you choose to maintain and the quality of the product you take. I don’t know of any info that’s available in regards to a change in readings. So many variables can occur. Good health.
Is not warfarin a clot prevention drug, and not a clot dissolving drug? When I was in the hospital for blood clots they first introduced something else intravenously for a few days before they put me on warfarin.
Warfarin is also same as Rat Poison. OlinP
Would this help since I have Afib and I have had a mini stroke I hate coumidin I have gained so much weight from it and it makes me tired.
