What You Can Do To Reduce Your Risk of Blood Clots
Over 300,000 people in North America die each year from stroke.
Another 700,000 die each year from heart attack. The most common type of both stroke and heart attack is ischemic disease,
caused by a blood clot. Damage occurs when the blood clot reduces – and then totally blocks – circulation in an artery.
The tissue nourished by that artery begins to die almost immediately.
The nature of blood clots
Blood clots are a miracle when they occur in the right place at the right time. If a blood vessel is injured it sends out chemical
distress signals that cause platelets to seal the leak. Platelets are small, white cells that are normally very slippery.
They become sticky when the lining of the blood vessel (the endothelium) is damaged.
The endothelium sends chemical messages to the platelets.
The platelets send chemical messages to attract fibrin proteins.
Fibrin proteins are like string that becomes very sticky and ties the groups of platelets together.
This is an immature or “white” blood clot.
If the leak is not sealed by this “white” clot, larger red blood cells are tied to the platelets by fibrin to form a “red” clot.
Blood clots in the wrong place – at the wrong time
Problems occur when these clots happen in the wrong place at the wrong time. For example, one probable cause of
migraine headaches is inappropriate communication between blood vessels and platelets. If a single blood vessel cramps
or spasms it can signal platelets to become so sticky that they restrict circulation in the rest of the brain. Ischemic strokes
and heart attacks are often caused by mature red clots breaking free of the injured area and blocking arteries in the heart or brain.
Interestingly, blockages from blood clots can occur in any area of the body. For instance, a person can have a “stroke”
that injures the lungs or kidneys. Deep vein thrombosis in the legs is the exact same kind of vascular disease that causes
stroke or heart attack.
The key to preventing damage is to make sure that the clots form only when and where they are supposed to.
This is only possible with accurate communication between the endothelium in the blood vessels and the clotting
mechanisms in the red blood cells, platelets and fibrin. Simple nutrients can have profound effects on improving this
communication – and I make several suggestions later in this report.
Working smarter, not harder
Blood thinners force platelets and fibrin to ignore clotting signals from the endothelium. When a person is having a
stroke these drugs are life-saving because the blood vessels, platelets and fibrin are getting the message to clot in
the wrong place at the wrong time. One new class of drugs triggers the release of nitric oxide to open the blood vessels.
Nitric oxide also helps the blood vessels, platelets and fibrin proteins communicate clearly.
To prevent blood vessel miscommunication in the first place, high nitric oxide levels are needed.
Nitric oxide is made from nitrogen; nitrogen comes from fruits and vegetables. Eating up to nine servings of fruits
and vegetables every day will make your clotting system very smart! Plant-based foods have been proven to
improve your health – including the health of your circulatory system.
Smart nutrients
Adaptogen 10 Plus®
Dr. Nathan Bryan, cardiologist and specialist in nitric oxide communication, recommends Adaptogen 10 Plus
to help increase nitric oxide. Adaptogen 10 Plus also helps protect against stress.
Stress alone – without any help from cholesterol – causes blood vessel spasms which may result in blood clots.
So, a good first step in improving the health of your circulatory system is to eat your fruits and vegetables every day
and take whole-food supplements like Adaptogen 10 Plus.
OmegaPrime®
Essential fatty acids such as those in OmegaPrime can help keep the platelets from getting sticky at the wrong time.
Dr. Dwight Lundell, cardiologist and specialist in bypass surgery, recommends the Omega-3 EFA in OmegaPrime
as a prime tool to help protect against inappropriate clotting. We need 1–4 grams of Omega-3 every day (2–6 OmegaPrime soft gels).
HCY Guard®
Dr. Kilmer McCully, cardiologist and specialist in vascular health, recommends the protective nutrients found in HCY Guard
to help your body reduce homocysteine (HCY). HCY is one culprit in forming clots at the wrong place and time.
Taking a single HCY Guard sublingual lozenge daily can help your body reduce homocysteine up to 35% – in as little as 42 days!
Other nutrients such as Vitamin E, turmeric and ginger, and Vitamin C all provide information for your blood clotting system
to work smarter. Smart nutrients are the key to making good decisions about where and when to activate this miraculous system!
