"Also adding heparin, an anticoagulant drug, prevents the plasma from clotting, even in the presence of calcium. In his study Benveniste would remove calcium from the plasma and add calcium to water, but instead of adding the actual heparin to the calcium water, he simply exposed the water containing calcium to the "sound" of heparin transmitted by the digitized electromagnetic frequency of heparin that he had discovered." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In Benveniste's most recent study, he took a test-tube of this plasma with calcium chelated out, then added water containing calcium which has been exposed to the 'sound' of heparin transmitted via the signature digitized electromagnetic frequency. As with all his other experiments, the signature frequency of heparin works as though the molecules of heparin itself were there: in its presence, the blood is more reluctant than usual to coagulate. In perhaps the most dramatic of his experiments, Benveniste showed that the signal could be sent across the world by email or mailed on a floppy disk." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"As with all his other experiments, the signature frequency of heparin worked as though the molecules of heparin itself were there: in its presence, the blood was less able to coagulate. Benveniste had a robot built to carry out this experiment, largely to silence his critics by eliminating the potential bias of human interference. The robot was a box with an arm that moved in three directions, mechanically exposing the water containing calcium to the heparin in several easy steps." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"As with all his other experiments, the signature frequency of heparin works as though the molecules of heparin itself were there: in its presence, the blood is more reluctant than usual to coagulate. In perhaps the most dramatic of his experiments, Benveniste showed that the signal could be sent across the world by email or mailed on a floppy disk. Colleagues of his at Northwestern University in Chicago recorded signals from ovalbumin (Ova), acetylcholine (Ach), dextran and water." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"When Jan failed even on this regimen, he started her on long-term self-injections of an anticoagulant known as low-molecular-weight heparin, which had only recently been used to treat patients with APS who had not responded to Coumadin therapy. Today, Jan has expert supervision of her case and is better able to manage her disease. But myriad threats still lurk in her future." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "That, along with an intravenous infusion of the blood thinner heparin, would prevent more clots from rising toward her lungs. It worked. Jan went home again. But a disquieting mystery still lingered in the air. Why weren't blood thinners working for Jan as they did for other patients? Jan scheduled an appointment with her local internist and posed the question to her, only to be brushed off with the words, "Well now, that's chasing a real zebra." Jan never went to her again." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Intravesical heparin, hyaluronic acid, and intravesical PPS are other options. Experimental therapies are being explored, including electrical nerve stimulation to activate the inhibitory circuits and decrease the sensation of pain, intravesical injection of botulinium toxin, gene therapy, and nerve growth-factor inhibitors. Surgical interventions are currently considered a last resort. These include surgical removal of visible ulcers, laser denervation, or removing a part of the colon and attaching it to the bladder to increase bladder capacity." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"In the study, 90 pregnant women at risk for miscarriage took low-dose aspirin alone or along with an anticoagulant drug, heparin, through 34 weeks of pregnancy. As a result, those who used both drugs had a markedly higher chance of giving birth, compared to those who took aspirin alone or no drugs. The belief is that the drugs help reduce blood clotting (as with heart patients), which it is believed might otherwise lead to miscarriage." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Moreover, Holsworth reports, nattokinase works effectively as a natural option for patients who cannot use Coumadin or heparin, and preventively for people with thrombophilia, a largely genetic predisposition to form clots. Abnormal clot formation contributes significantly to deaths in the United States—more than six hundred thousand Americans each year. An estimated 5 to 7 percent of Caucasians of European descent in the United States have an increased tendency for thrombosis. Clots comprise much of the content of plaque." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The robot would take the water containing calcium, place it into a coil, play the heparin signal for five minutes, so that the water is 'informed', then mix the informed water in its test-tube with the plasma, put the mixture in a measuring device, read the results and offer them up to whoever is doing the investigation. Benveniste and his team carried out hundreds of experiments using their robot, but the main idea was to hand out a batch of these devices to other labs." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"The GAG studies with published trials include PPS (pentosan polysulfate sodium) Elmiron,13-19 heparin,20 and hyaluronic acid (Cystostat).21 These studies showed treatment efficacy over placebo for each of these treatments. No studies have been published on over-the-counter preparations of chondroitin sulfates and glucosamine preparations; however, a link has been established between chondroitin and IC.22 A GAG in the form of N-acetyl glucosamine or glucosamine sulfate can be used as part of a multifactorial approach to repair the bladder epithelium." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"One assumption is that the substances clear the blood of fatty substances the same way heparin does. For example, if you inject heparin after a fatty meal, it accelerates the disappearance of visible fats, reducing bad LDL cholesterol and raising good HDL type. As an experiment, scientists harvested wakame from the Shimoda Bay in Shizuoka-ken, Japan. It has been used as a typical algal marine food since ancient times. One chemical from wakame was compared with heparin in a test on rats. The wakame substance was twice as powerful as heparin in antithrombin (clot-dissolving) activity." - Jean Carper, The Food Pharmacy: Dramatic New Evidence That Food Is Your Best Medicine (Get the book.)

"The robot was a box with an arm that moved in three directions, mechanically exposing the water containing calcium to the heparin in several easy steps. After hundreds of such experiments, Benveniste discovered that the procedure usually worked well except on days when a certain woman—an otherwise experienced scientist—was present. Benveniste suspected that the woman must be emitting some form of waves that were blocking the signals." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"People at high risk still get low-molecular heparin [an an-ticlotting drug]." In addition, "Everybody needs to be well-hydrated, and compression stockings may play a role" in preventing clots, he says. Rosendaal stresses that the "indiscriminate use of aspirin, heparin or other drugs to prevent thrombosis should be discouraged, since the risks probably outweigh the benefits." However, people who are at high risk for blood clots should consider safe preventive measures, such as regular exercise and refraining from sleeping pills or excess alcohol during air travel. ||." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"This often occurs after the patient is given the blood thinner called heparin, which often results in a rise in free fatty acid levels. In one study involving a small group of patients, there was significant reduction in the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias in those treated with 2 grams of L-carnitine the day before the start of the dialysis procedure. Carnitine therapy resulted in an increase in plasma carnitine and a corresponding reduction in free fatty acids. Treated subjects also had a lower incidence of severe arrhythmias." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"After his surgery, Casarella wrote about his experience in a letter to the editor of the journal Radiology, describing it in the terse, unemotional language of medicine, which nonetheless conveyed his sense of helplessness and the pain: "I woke up five hours later with a Foley catheter, a chest tube, a central venous catheter, a nasal oxygen catheter, an epidural catheter, an arterial catheter, subcutaneously administered heparin, a constant infusion of prophylactic antibiotics, and patient-controlled analgesia with intravenously-administered narcotics." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Did people who came to the hospital with a broken hip receive heparin to prevent a stroke or heart attack? Did elderly patients get a pneumonia vaccine when they were admitted to the hospital? Did diabetics receive counseling to improve their diets and get more exercise? McGlynn's results were so arresting that the article has been cited in the medical literature hundreds of times by other researchers since it was published. Her team reported that on average, patients were given recommended care a little less than cc percent of the time." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "Another physician disagrees, arguing the device should only be used in patients who can't be given heparin to prevent clots. Since there's often little evidence to support one approach over another, this give-and-take can drive the collective clinical decisions made by doctors at a particular hospital. But while cultural transmission of practice styles certainly plays a central role, it isn't the whole explanation for why the care in high-spending regions is more intense—and expensive—than in low-spending regions." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) "A physician gives an injection of heparin without first performing a rectal exam, to make sure the patient isn't bleeding in his gut, and the blood thinner causes the patient to hemorrhage. Thrombolytics, the very drugs that can bust the clot in his coronary arteries, can also cause catastrophic bleeding in the brain. The man could suffer an allergic reaction to a drug. Maybe the beta-blocker causes his blood pressure to drop precipitously and he "bottoms out," a side effect of the drug that can aggravate the damage to his heart and even cause sudden cardiac arrest." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.)

"If excessive garlic is consumed with concomitant use of low molecular weight heparin, monitor for signs and symptoms of excessive bleeding. Garlic supplements should be discontinued at least 10 days prior to elective surgery. Indomethacin: Concurrent use may result in increased risk of bleeding. Clinical Management: Caution is advised in the concomitant use of garlic, and indomethacin. Regular ingestion of food products containing garlic should not pose a problem. If garlic extract is taken with concomitant use of indomethacin, monitor for signs and symptoms of excessive bleeding." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Heparin, another anti-clotting drug, is more effective in preventing clots than warfarin but certainly is not effective in all cases. [Cancer 80: 649-55, 1997] Because clots can cause strokes or lung blockages, cancer doctors advise patients to avoid vitamin K supplements or vitamin K-rich foods (green leafy vegetables), since vitamin K is required for blood clotting. But vitamin K has been shown to actually be a potent inhibitor of tumor colony formation." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)

"Individuals who experience a stroke caused by blockage of blood vessels (ischemic stroke) receive clot-dissolving (thrombolytic) medications, such as recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (Alteplase) and the anticoagulant heparin. Individuals who have a stroke due to bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke) usually receive a surgical procedure that stops bleeding and repairs blood vessels. After the acute treatment of stroke, doctors often recommend rehabilitation, including physical, speech, and occupational therapy." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V.

"For this reason, some doctors recommend that people taking PC-SPES also take blood-thinning medication, such as heparin or warfarin (Coumadin).104, 105 However, each of these drugs can cause excessive bleeding. Because of the potential side effects of PC-SPES and the complex medical issues involved with the use of blood-thinning drugs, people should never take PC-SPES without the close supervision of a doctor." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D. Rick Chester, RPh., N.D., DipLAc. George Constantine, R.Ph., Ph.D. Linnea D.

"Other thrombolytic agents include heparin, hirudin (Hirulog), abciximab (ReoPro), and tirofiban (Aggrastat). Beta-blockers, such as atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol (Lo-pressor), and isoproterenol (Isuprel) may reduce the potential for life-threatening arrhythmias (page 93). ACE inhibitors, including captopril (Capoten), lisino-pril (Zestril, Prinivil), and enalapril (Vasotec), as well as vasodilators such as nitroglycerin (Nitrobid, Nitro-Dur) are also sometimes used." - Alan R.

"To help prevent such blood clots, doctors may prescribe heparin. Although the drug doesn't stop the clotting process direcdy, it does spur the activity of one of the body's natural anticlotting substances, antithrombin III. Normally, antithrombin III works rather slowly, but heparin puts it into high gear, causing it to work about 1,000 times faster. Possible Side Effects The drug's side effects include unexplained bruising, a persistent erection, blood in the urine, and bleeding from the gums." - Frederic Vagnini, M.D. and Barry Fox, Ph.D., The Side Effects Bible: The Dietary Solution to Unwanted Side Effects of Common Medications (Get the book.)

"New blood vessel formation is enhanced by various growth factors while genestein from soy, heparin, cyclosporine A, and steroids, are among an array of angiogenic inhibitors. [Internal Review Cytology 159: 113-60, 1995] The native, high-molecular weight HA can only form into small fragments that facilitate the growth and spread of tumors if the HA is broken down by enzymes such as hyaluronidase and metalloproteinase. This is why hyaluronidase blockers such as iron-binders (bioflavonoids, IP6 phytate) are so important." - Bill Sardi, You Don't Have to be Afraid of Cancer Anymore (Get the book.)
