RE: Re: The Nattokinase Scam

May 6, 2011

Hi Zoe, it was me who posted that and am attaching it again to this post. I

got the information from Dr Bob Lawrence who doesn't agree with this

supplement. Here's an extract from the article written by Dr :-

--Fibrinolytic agents are extremely dangerous. In years past, we used to

treat heart attacks with intravenous fibrinolytic agents like tissue

plasminogen activator, urokinase, streptokinase, and others. They have

fallen by the wayside, for the most part, because of limited effectiveness

and the unavoidable dangers of their use. Fibrinolytics are " dumb " : they

dissolve blood clots in both good places and bad. While they might dissolve

the blood clot causing your heart attack, they also degrade the tiny clot in

your cerebral (brain) circulation that was protective. That's why fatal

brain hemorrhages, bleeding stomach ulcers, and blood oozing from strange

places can also occur with fibrinolytic administration. Believe me, I've

seen it happen, and I've watched people die from them.

The idea that a small dose taken orally is healthy is ridiculous. Even if

nattokinase worked, why the heck would you take an agent that has known

dangerous and very real consequences?

Don't let this idiocy reflect poorly on the K2 conversation, which, I

believe, holds real merit and is backed by legitimate science. This is

symptomatic of a larger difficulty with the supplement industry: Insane and

unfounded claims about one supplement erodes credibility for the entire

industry. It gives regulation-crazed people like the FDA ammunition to go

after supplements, something none of us need. You and I have to sift through

the nonsense to uncover the real gems in this rockpile, real gems like

vitamin D3, omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, and, perhaps, vitamin K2. But

not nattokinase.
