 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. 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. |

 Adding heparin, a classic anti-coagulant drug, will prevent the blood from clotting, even in the presence of the calcium.
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. |

 Anticoagulant Effects: Fucoidan exhibits anticoagulant activity in vitro mediated by heparin cofactor II. heparin cofactor II is a potent thrombin inhibitor. Modification of lysyl residues on the fucoidan interfered with its antithrombin activity similarly to such modifications of heparin (Church et al, 1989). Higher fibrinolytic activity was also measured in the more anticoagulant fractions (Durig et al, 1997). |

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. |

| 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.

 As an example, taking vitamin E, which most people consider very safe, along with ginkgo biloba in combination with Coumadin, heparin, or warfarin (all prescription drugs to help thin the blood) increases the risk for subdural hematomas, retinal hemorrhages and internal bleeding.7 The combination of vascular dilation and blood thinning drugs can prove to be deadly.

 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. |

| Within the first 24 hours of symptoms, these patients often get anticlotting drugs, most notably heparin, to help open arteries or keep them open. The analysis showed that 42% of the patients got doses outside the recommended range.
Patients who got too-large doses were more likely to have bleeding episodes. They were also more likely to need extended stays in the hospital or to die.
ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH DOESN'T WORK

| 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. |

 It turned out one of her IV bags had contained insulin, not heparin, the anticoagulant she was supposed to be getting. The insulin had caused her blood sugar to crash to such a low level that she was on the verge of suffering brain damage. She recovered fully, but her father says he will never view a hospitalization in quite the same way again.

 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. |

 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. |
| 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. |

Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Fucoidan reduced pulmonary neutrophil accumulation in rabbit models of acute respiratory distress syndrome and peritonitis, indicating it possesses antiinflammatory effect (Shimaoka et al, 1996). In three murine models of inflammation, fucoidan inhibited leukocyte migration (Bartlett et al, 1994). |

| 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. |

 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. |

 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. |

 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. |
