Causes & Treatment Choices:

If you have ever experienced a blood clot, then you have experienced the excruciating pain and lengthy recovery time! Blood clots occur most often in people with AB blood types, but one in three Americans deal with blood clots in their lifetime. Clots frequently occur following surgery and some arise from just having blood that is too thick. (These are most often connected to a poor diet.) 80% of people with diabetes die of blood clot related causes. Digestive enzymes and natural blood thinners such as Vitamin E, Garlic, Essential fatty acids, etc., can be used to prevent thick blood, and you must keep blood free of parasites, yeast, viruses, bacteria and heavy metals as well.

Injuries and prolonged sitting (as with travel) are also common reasons for clots to form. These are often accompanied by more severe pain, swelling and significant agitation. To prevent these types of clots, Do NOT travel with an injury of any kind (i.e. torn muscle, sprained ankle or wrist, any swelling, etc.) and Do NOT sit for prolonged periods without movement. An injury plus changes in elevation, combined with sitting too long provide the perfect formula for clots to form.
If your physician recommends an antibiotic, consider something other than Cipro, which is known to weaken extremity ligaments and muscles in addition to diminishing your gut flora, altering Vitamin K and natural clotting factors in your system.

For those who would choose to treat a blood clot naturally, your physician will likely say that it should not be considered. Most alternative practitioners will say they do not have knowledge or experience to treat it and feel it is too risky. Yet, in my experience, I have not found anything that could not be treated alternatively! With Kinesiology, you can test to see if a pharmaceutical is needed in the beginning and you can test to see which of the natural formulas (and in which doses) your body wants. Body wisdom is amazing; it takes into account the entire being, including emotions, thought patterns and everything about the person.
