Guest guest Posted March 16, 2000 Report Share Posted March 16, 2000 The author is talking about the speed of flow factors - a physicist's point of view (fluid mechanics). The author is probably correct in "without appearing to recognize the implications of the physical natureof blood." Most MDs and life sciences people will not come to the conclusion that thick blood means a reduce rate of delivery and removal... fluid mechanics is outside their training. However, the issue of coagulation is not this simple - the fibers (fiberglass is a good analogy) created in the coagulation process results in 'slicing and dicing' of red blood cells - which means that even if the flow rate is "corrected" unless these fibers are dissolved -- the degree of improvement may be less... I believe Dr. Berg has already developed a test for a genetic inability to dissolve the fibers which some people have -- then it is long term industrial blood thinners. Hence in the short term "Some people report benefit from heparin treatment others report no change." is correct if you look at only at the surface as 'a univeral cure'... There is no universal cure because different people have different form of bacteria infection, each form has a different pathology (which partially depends on the body that it hits) - there are many things in common. At least IMHO.

CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT TO ME???THANKSSTEVE"I have a video of a presentation by Mr.Berg in Fairfax VA. His conceptofcapillary blockage by fibrin soluble monomer is testable - but nottested.He states that blood viscosity will be increased but does no viscometry.Hespeaks as if blood viscosity is a unit variable with no apparentunderstanding of the implications of different shear rates. Hisconcepts ofcapillary morphology are weird. He is working in the field of bloodrheologywithout appearing to recognize the implications of the physical natureofblood.Some people report benefit from heparin treatment others report nochange.Your pays your money and makes your choice !"
