Re: Re: Colin-Lower than Normal SED Rate

[Guest guest]

Colin, don't think your doc understands that almost all cfsers have low sed

rates even if they have an active infection. I've had two strokes also. Cause

could be abnormally alkaline blood (causes arteries to spasm). Might want to

check this. Whey protein can help with the alkalinity and I think one aspirin a

day and a couple nattokinase a day can help if it's a coagulation or arterial

plaque problem. I didn't find heparin to be helpful. Steve B.
