Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi Old Grumpy, Have you researched gout on the Earth Clinic? Many there have found relief with ACV: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/gout.html And for a blood thinner, you might want to consider nattokinase as an eventual replacement for the warfarin if your doc agrees: http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1426015 You don't say how much protein you consume per day. Do you eat enough veggies to balance those acidic food with alkaline? Vegetables - especially raw green leafy vegetables. Fresh Herbs & Spice - parsley, basil, cilantro, cayenne, ginger; Fruits - avocado, cucumber, young coconuts; Wheat grass; Sprouts: i.e. alfalfa, mung bean, broccoli etc. For more details go to the acid alkaline food list: http://www.thebestofrawfood.com/alkaline-food-list.html Lemon, while acidic before digestion, is very alkaline when digested. I drink water with lemon with all meals. None of the above should cause you to abandon your LCHF diet. Best, Dee > > I find myself in a bit of a pickle.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi Dee Thanks for this, I will certainly read up on those links and consider your comments. I do not balance anything with veggies, I have to avoid them as much as possible to keep my Blood Glucose in control, remember I was on 150 units insulin per day! When my pension comes in I will be ordering Serrapeptase, perhaps Block Buster all clear, which I believe also contains Nattokinase. I have never considered the issue of acidic food contra alkaline so I have some reading up to do there too. I eat coconut oil but can't get coconuts fresh, avocado yes occasionally, herbs and spices in sauces only, veggies now and then in very small portions, broccoli, brussel sprouts, onion, 1/2 a tomato sometimes. Good tip with the lemon, I do the same with vinegar. Thanks /G. 2011/5/14 Dolores <dgk@...> > Hi Old Grumpy, > > Have you researched gout on the Earth Clinic?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Hi , I have the exact answer for you. As a person ages they produce less plasmin, the only fibrinolytic enzyme the body makes. Enzymes have very specific functions; a fibrinolytic enzyme reduces fibrin, the blood clotting protein. This action in the body how it gets the name metabolic enzyme as opposed to digestive enzyme. Plasmin ensures spontaneous blood coagulation does not occur, and it's not only blood coagulation (coagulopathy) that plasmin prevents; organ fibrosis, the leading killer of the elderly due usually to kidney failure also results from low plasmin. Thrombosis, endometriosis and adhesions are also reduced by adequate plasmin. So, your plasmin is low and that's why you're on warfarin. Warfarin and coumadin produce a huge bleeding risk and " poor prognosis " in the event of a hemorragic stroke, so the doctor gets you off some of your vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin K, garlic and so on because they facilitate better blood circulation. A natural no-risk alternative has been on the market for years; categorically the fibrinolytic enzymes nattokinase, serrapeptase, and Seaprose-S and some newer developments support the erosion of excess fibrin. Together, they are pronounced heart disease, thrombosis, and inflammation reducers and circulation and microcirculation enhancers that carry no bleeding risk. Of the enzyme blends, BlockBuster AllClear is the most potent, the most " correct " blend, and also the least expensive. It is miles ahead of Neprinol and Wobenzym, which don't even have the right formula to properly address coagulopathy. Besides reducing coagulopathy, BlockBuster AllClear is used to dissolve/erode existing clots such as deep-vein thrombosis, peripheral arterial disease, plaque buildup, inflammation, and organ fibrosis, and improve microcirculation, all the circulation things that might kill you as you age. Some people respond to just one capsule daily, while others take 2 twice daily. But it generally works in just days, so you wan't need the warfarin for long. Unlike other products, BB AllClear is backed by a money-back guarantee, even on the buy 3 get 4 sale, so save your empty bottles. Here's my link ; as you'll see, The parent company GoodHealth Naturally invites comparison by posting the ingredients list: http://tinyurl.com/BB-Allclear all good, Duncan > > I find myself in a bit of a pickle.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 , since you mentioned you are diabetic, I've seen a diabetic's purple toes and bad leg circulation go back to pink again in 2 days. I think she used 4 caps twice a day for four days, then backed it off to 2 caps a day. I don't expect that your circulation is that bad but it attests to the power of this supplement. A lot of people with the disorder lose their legs by amputation, and it's completely unnecessary and unconscionable to refer them to surgery when we have BlockBuster AllClear available. Many testimonials exist on this subject of circulation and thrombosis in a Gooogle search ...these are the two main reasons people take metabolic enzymes. Then there's the coagulopathy, organ fibrosis... all good, Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 , the lemon water/juice mentioned doen't posess the alkaline property; the property is in the lemon solids. I would look to replace the doctor if he doesn't agree with the enzyme approach and take you off warfarin ASAP. You'll need a blood draw almost right away to prove the enzyme case to him and it's dangerous to stay on warfarin for even a short time, other therapy or not. That pesky bleeding risk is unwelcome in the organs and especially in the brain. all good, Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Dianne, diabetic neuropathy is driven primarily by oxidative stress, which is ongoing unquenched free radical damage cascades. Lots of data exists on this subject. " Evidence is presented to support the idea that both chronic and acute hyperglycemia cause oxidative stress in the peripheral nervous system that can promote the development of diabetic neuropathy. " : http://edrv.endojournals.org/cgi/reprint/25/4/612.pdf " By blocking multiple pathway components, multiple causes of oxidative stress would in turn be blocked, preventing nervous system injury. " : http://www.jci.org/articles/view/17862 Oxidative stress is reduced with glutathione, the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier produced within each cell, from precursors found in undenatured whey and selenium. Other antioxidants will help; they are recycled several times by glutathione: http://tinyurl.com/whey-page That's the short version Further glutathione references to most diseases including diabetes: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/glutathione-references.html Where BlockBuster AllClear fits in is it reduces inflammation and spontaneous blood coagulation. Circulation and microcirculation improve, and the cells are better served by circulation and better able to remove the toxins that cause the nerve damage. As you might have guessed I don't think it's the only thing a diabetic should use. Moving on, improving diabetic neuropathy is a different question compared to arresting the degeneration. Most likely one can stop the degeneration with nutrients including less carbohydrates (the reason one degenerates is partly glycation), more undenatured whey, more selenium (in most regions), more balanced fats, more inulin in the diet, trace minerals and all that; looking after one's nutrition generally. Improvement may be noted, but specific attention to rebuilding the body, especially the older body, may require an HGH (human growth hormone) increaser because growth hormone drops with age. Of the purported HGH increasers, SomaLife gHP triggers an HGH release like one had at about 22 years of age, something like 700%-800% over resting levels, with each dose. Others mainly don't do much, increase HGH marginally to about 165% over a period of six weeks, or contain testosterone enhancers, which we're not asking for right now. A lot of science exists around HGH increase; obviously, the results of a higher amount of HGH release speak for themselves and that's what body builders apply even if they have to inject foreign animal or GMO enhormone to do it. Some use up to 6 tablespoons of 6 hour colostrum for the various bovine growth factors for example, but foreign HGH and growth factors are met with skepticism about their safety by many people and doctors. I've tried colostrum and it seems to work but I don't know about long-term effects: http://bulkcolostrum.com I prefer SomaLife gHP, and I'm very fit after using it for about 5 years; my wife's age is guessed at 32 but she's 49, and I have about 40 more stories like that http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/SomaLife-gHP As you'll see in the HGH references that have specific subjects, diabetes can be considerably improved including lipid levels, regeneration and all that. Like one of the first few references I just posted says, treatment of the neuropathy isn't successful on its own but treatment of the diabetes is Alobar, a group moderator, and Old Grumpy (), know a lot about treating diabetes; they are using some of these methods. all good, Duncan > > Duncan, Do you think Blockbuster All Clear would help with diabetic > neuropathy? > > Dianne > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I sincerely wish everybody would refuse warfarin and coumadin; they have no redemming qualities if a better and safer product is available. Nattokinase synergizes with serrapeptase and Seaprose-S to reduce clotting etc even better than one's natural plasmin does, and they increase natural plasmin release as well. That's probably why BlockBuster AllClear is guaranteed to work or you get your money back all good, Duncan > > I refused warfarin and went to nattokinase > http://www.springboard4health.com/notebook/health_nattokinase.html > > Chuck > I'm a hypnotist, so this is only a suggestion > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Duncan, I agree that Nattokinase is safer than warfarin and coumadin - which is why I recommended it. And Old Grumpy replied that he would be ordering BlockBuster AllClear before you mentioned it - twice. So what is this, a commercial?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 If you looked up " alkaline ash " Dee, you'd find it is the product of the burning of a carbon-based substance, in this case in point a lemon. Lemon ash is known alkalizer, but lemon juice contains little or no carbon-based stuff to burn, thus no ash; it's mainly citric acid and water. There's a little potassium in it but not enough to counteract the acidity. all good, Duncan > > > > , the lemon water/juice mentioned doen't posess the alkaline property; the property is in the lemon solids. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think you're not the commercial police Dee but I'll humour you ...when I go down the posts and respond to some of them I don't read the whole list of them before I answer one. You have a delete key. You mentioned nattokinase, yup. Nattokinase was improved by Goodhealth Naturally which put nattokinase NSK-SD (the good stuff) and serrapeptase and Seaprose-S for synergy in BlockBuster AllClear. Their guarantee even on $200 worth that you get for $150 is especially interesting to some people because they don't risk anything but postage. Thought that might impress Karl because he's asked me for my opinion during our email exchanges.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Yeah Judy note that none of the juices are in the alkaline ash food category; it's the lemon solids that yield an alkaline ash. I'd think you could strip off the rind for palatability but a lot of people eat the whole thing. Cooking it milds the acidity down a lot. all good, Duncan > > Sooooo; then, we should eat lemons instead of putting lemon juice in our > water??

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Ash comes from minerals, not from carbon. Carbon when burned completely does not leave anything - all are converted to carbon dioxide and gone. Citric acid is 37% percent carbon. Substances that have mineral content will leave ash when burned.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thank you Duncan, Dee and others who have offered advice and comments. This thread has caused a lot of comment and as I am on the other side of the world I woke up this morning to a lot of useful information and opinions to consider, but I am now way behind..... Yesterday afternoon(Saturday) I felt my wrist becoming tender. The last time this happened it got steadily worse to become a full blown attack the day after only relieved by drugs five days after that. As this started Saturday and I can get no help until Monday at best and having read up on some of the info kindly offered here I drank 2 x ½ glass of water with 2 tblsps apple cider vinegar and ½ tsp baking soda. This morning Sunday my wrist is no worse than it was yesterday - so I will continue with the ACV + BS regime and see what happens. This leads me to ask that if it is not the juice of a lemon but the flesh that could be effective in combating uric acid then what could it be in AVC that is purported to be similarly effective. Likewise it was mentioned that cooking the lemon can reduce the 'lip puckering, eye streaming consequence that eating lemons has on some people - me :-( But I have always understood that any kind of heat preparation will always detract from the nutrients available in anything we may digest - consequently I don't understand how cooking lemon can be better than raw lemon juice especially if ACV is an acceptable or better substitute. Clearing up a couple of things. No, I am not though Karl (my real name) was often translated into as recently as the 70's. I have talked to Duncan before about Serrapeptase and Nattocinase when I first had a blood clot and was ordinated Warfarin. Now having researched the subject of enzymes I will definitely be ordering Block Buster All Clear and then we will see. One of the reasons I have delayed is that I have been dithering with the concept of taking the enzyme therapy at the same time as Warfarin but I think I have read enough to be able to go ahead in spite of warnings I have found concerning combinations with Nattocinase. BBAC I understand though though contains a lower percentage of Nacotinase prioritating Serrapeptase as the primary active ingredient - correct me if I'm wrong. Also, these products are expensive, in fact the freight to me is as much again as the actual cost of the products and I will be paying whilst Big Pharma drugs cost me nothing. I am not in a position to order BBAC in bulk to proportionately reduce the overall transport costs either as my pension prohibits anything other than marginal extra outlay. Enzyme therapy products are just not available to me in Sweden and my doctor and other doctors and health care workers I have spoken to have never even heard of any treatments based on them. I have passed on all manner of information but I am banging my head against the proverbial brick wall. /G. 2011/5/14 Duncan Crow <duncancrow@...> > Hi , I have the exact answer for you. > > As a person ages they produce less plasmin, the only fibrinolytic enzyme > the body makes.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Judy, You are not the one who is confused. Here is only one of many sites that should put your mind at ease: http://nh1.ccone.com/ quote:Foods such as orange juice and lemon juice are acidic in their natural state but turn alkaline after they have been metabolized in the body. As such, for dietetic purposes they are usually considered to be alkaline forming foods despite being acidic prior to consumption. Most fruits are alkaline except a few that include cranberries, plums and prunes. These fruits are classified as acidic because they contain acids the body can't metabolize.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Karl, A couple of comments only as I'm not a doctor. First, regarding the lemons - eating them whole is probably not a great idea because the acid is very hard on tooth enamel. If you juice them in even one of those simple hand juicers the juice will include almost all of the pulp as well. While it is said that cooked foods TEND to be more alkaline than raw foods I have no idea as to what degree of difference that would be. Heating would definitely destroy some of the vit C, but might enhance the PH so you could try adding it to tea or such. As for taking BBAC with Warfarin I would ask you to please reconsider that idea! When my partner was on Coumadin (well before we knew anything about Nattokinase) he had to be monitored frequently lest he die from internal bleeding from almost any kind of injury. As it turned out he died about a week after a bad fall down some stairs. Too much blood thinning could be disastrous. Since you don't have access to homeopathic Drs, I hope Dr. Lew or Dr. Fife can help you out with this one. And good luck with the vinegar for your gout. I hope it helps. I would also start adding more green veggies, cooked very lightly, and cut down on the red meat if you are eating too much. There are greens that really don't add many carbs. Here is a site that lists the carbs in veggies from zero to ten plus: http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-many-carbs-are-in-v\ egetables.html Best, Dee > > Thank you Duncan, Dee and others who have offered advice and comments.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The carbon is supposed to burn away, leaving only the mineral ash component. In lemon juice the citric acid is carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, thus burns away leaving very little mineral ash. Another source of carbon in the juice are sugars. Carbohydrates are often referred to as net-acidic, acidifiers to the body, because they contain so much carbon. In the blood, waste carbon is in the form of carbonic acid, which is exhaled as carbon dioxide, costing you two molecules of alkaline oxygen per molecule of carbon exhaled. So, if you want to alkalize you'll choose a high mineral food. Juice is low-mineral but high-carbon, not a good choice for alkalizing. all good, Duncan > > Ash comes from minerals, not from carbon.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Increasing insulin sensitivity can relieve gout, and undenatured whey, which should be a main supplement IMO for diabetics, increases insulin sensitivity. Selenium, chromium, vanadium, manganese, and gymnema sylvestris also encourage insulin sensitivity and the herb can also regrow damaged islet cells in the pancreas. Baking soda is high sodium and high acid-producing; the carbon has to be immediately exhaled as it absorbs, and that sodium also disposed of. Mobilizing the uric acid crystals to join the uric acid with calcium to form urine should be explored. Vitamin D and calcium, and reducing purines, is important. Purines are produced upon meat digestion but mot whey assimilation. Piles of information online. ACV is food (acetic acid) for the bowel lining cells that lemon juice (citric acid) is not. Nattokinase and serrapeptase together are better than either one alone, and a little Seaprose-S give them a synergy, amount depending on the blend formula. The golden formula escapes me just now but BB AllClear has been optimized, yes. I'm glad you're aware of the need to avoid warfarin, Karl buddy. Someone on the electroherbalism list has just let us know his brother is responding well to just one pill a day of the BlockBuster AllClear. Hope low-dosing is all you need too all good, Duncan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 The post is inaccurate Dee; it's the mineral content of the alkaline-producing food that make them alkaline. The solids, which have a high mineral ratio, are potent alkalizers, and the juice with its low mineral ratio is not. One more time by illustration -- If you dried up then burned a pound of juice there would be perhaps a hundred times less alkaline ash than if you burned a pound of the whole lemon. You'd have to drink an appropriate amount of lemon juice (50 cups or more?) to equal the minerals in one squeezed lemon. It's not rocket science; nuf said. all good, Duncan > quote:Foods such as orange juice and lemon juice are acidic in their natural state but turn alkaline after they have been metabolized in the body.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Good point on the cooking Dee -- the lemon contains the same amount of mineral, so would yield the same amount of alkaline, raw or cooked. The pH improves as the citric acid in it is neutralized by the alkaline minerals. Maybe it would be better to toss the juice and use the rest of the lemon. Some of the vitamins may be destroyed by cooking but we have tha tcovered in other areas. all golod, Duncan > > Hi Karl, >> > While it is said that cooked foods TEND to be more alkaline than raw foods I have no idea as to what degree of difference that would be.
