"This can help ward off dvt. Wearing support stockings or socks, especially on long flights, can also help prevent this potentially deadly condition. Women on hormone replacement therapy or those taking birth control pills are at increased risk of developing these deadly clots, as are pregnant women. People with clotting disorders or certain medical conditions that restrict mobility, such as heart failure or chronic respiratory disease, are at risk as well. WARNING SIGN DVT without an obvious precipitating cause may be one of the very earliest clues to cancer." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Ironically, Trousseau himself later developed dvt and was diagnosed with stomach cancer within a year. SIGN OF THE TIMES While covering the war in Iraq in 2003, NBC News correspondent David Bloom, 39, died from a pulmonary embolism caused by a clot that formed in his leg (DVT), then broke off and entered his lungs. Bloom had complained of leg cramps while riding for long hours in the narrow confines of a converted army tank." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Cardiovascular Diseases Section H Arterial Disease, (Actions also for Angina, Blood Clots, Deep Vein Thrombosis or dvt) What is it? Arteriosclerosis (calcium deposits) and Atherosclerosis (fat deposits) involve a build-up on the inside of artery walls. What causes it? While there is overwhelming evidence that high levels of cholesterol increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis, angina, dvt and blood clots, cholesterol is not the damaging mechanism." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Additional ultrasounds revealed, however, that Jan's entire right leg vein was blocked from ankle to groin with a huge clot known as a deep vein thrombosis, or dvt. It was from this larger clot that smaller ones were traveling up to block the major arteries of her lungs. From torso to toes, Jan's blood was clotting up like sludge and no one could explain why. Without knowing exactly what was causing Jan's condition, the ER physicians put her on the blood thinner Coumadin with the understanding that she would need to stay on it for several months to avert further crises." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"See Chapter 7.) In dvt, a clot forms in a vein located deep within the leg, causing redness, swelling, and pain. If the clot breaks off, it can lodge in the lungs, causing a life-threatening pulmonary embolism; sometimes the clot will travel to the heart or brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Varicose veins are the result of an improper selection of grandparents. —William Osier, the Father of Modern speaking of signs Medicine raised, twisted, and blue, and the area around them may itch or ache. They can be inherited, or a sign of pregnancy, obesity, or hormonal changes." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"And if you've had one episode of dvt, you're at increased risk of having another. TREMORS If you notice someone's hands or body is trembling, you might assume that the person is nervous or has a drinking problem, and you may be right. But tremors can also signal a myriad of other maladies. There are more than 20 different types of tremors. Essential tremors (aka postural tremors) are the mildest and the most common type. They usually affect the hands, but the head, arms, legs, larynx (voice box), and even the tongue can be affected as well. (See Chapter 5." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Sinus and other ENT problems • Post operative healing, lesions and cysts (breast, ovarian etc) • Arterial plaque, dvt (good for travellers) and blood clots • Migraines (vascular). • Enlarged prostate and many more (see studies). Can I use it for any condition, even those not listed? It is worth a try for practically anything. If you have great discomfort, it is worth taking a high dose for one week, which should give great relief. Can it be used on animals such as cat and dogs? Yes, it has proven to be very effective on all animals." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.) "While there is overwhelming evidence that high levels of cholesterol increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis, angina, dvt and blood clots, cholesterol is not the damaging mechanism. Measuring the proportional relationship between HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol more accurately assesses the risk of atherosclerosis. The latest research shows that inflammation and free radicals cause damage to both the cholesterol and artery walls that initiates a natural repair sequence that results in the patching and build-up of calcium and cholesterol deposits." - Robert Redfern, The Miracle Enzyme Is Serrapeptase (Get the book.)

"Aspirin also can be an effective anticoagulant for treating dvt. The usual recommended dosage is one 80-milligram baby aspirin daily. More invasive treatments, such as the use of filters that can be inserted into the veins, and the use of potent "clot buster" drugs, which can dissolve large clots quickly, are available for difficult or life-threatening situations. Q| Superficial thrombophlebitis is usually treated by elevating the affected limb; applying warm moist compresses; and bed rest. A doctor may also prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "DVT can become life-threatening if a blood clot breaks off from the venous lining and travels through the bloodstream to the heart, lung, or brain, where it may lodge in a blood vessel and cut off circulation to those vital organs. If the clot blocks blood flow to the heart, the result is a heart attack; if it blocks the supply of blood to the brain, a stroke may occur. If blood flow to a lung is blocked, the result is a pulmonary embolism, a less well known but equally serious scenario. Chest pain can be a symptom of both heart attack and pulmonary embolism." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "A potential complication of dvt is postphlebitic syndrome, a permanent condition caused by valves in the leg veins that no longer work properly. For people with this syndrome, clotting takes a long time to clear up, and the result is sometimes an inflammatory reaction that can scar the veins, particularly the valves. These valves act as check valves, allowing the blood to flow only one way (back to the heart). If the valves are defective or become damaged, blood can flow backwards, which allows it to pool in the legs to cause pain, swelling, and, sometimes, skin ulceration and varicose veins." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.) "One test commonly used to diagnose dvt is duplex ultrasound. In this procedure, a handheld ultrasonic device is passed over the affected area, and a picture of the blood flow is displayed on a computer screen. A less common test is venography, in which dye is injected into a vein to make blood flow visible on an x-ray. Duplex ultrasound, chest x-ray, and other tests can be used to diagnose pulmonary embolism, as required. Q| Treatment of thrombophlebitis primarily consists of using anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medications." - Phyllis A.

"In the case of dvt, you may feel an overall heaviness in the leg, mainly in the calf, and occasionally ankle swelling. An estimated 30 percent of dvt cases go undiagnosed and go away on their own, says J. A. Olivencia, M.D., vascular surgeon and medical director of the Iowa Vein Center in West Des Moines, Iowa. But if the doctor detects this kind of thrombosis, you're sure to have some kind of treatment. However your doctor decides to treat the problem, there are 427 WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR Any type of phlebitis needs to be seen by a doctor to determine how serious it is." - Doug Dollemore, The Doctor's Book of Home Remedies for Seniors (Get the book.)

"I spent a great deal of time researching this subject to see whether I could find a connection between soy and dvt before I learned that soy contains lectins, which I understand are clot-promoting substances that cause red blood cells to clump together. I learned that years ago researchers discovered that clots from lectins have killed rabbits. Yet no one sees fit to warn consumers that soy can kill us in the same way. K.G." - Kaayla T.
