Guest guest Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 A short while ago I asked about the blood thinning properties in KT. I finally had some time to do a search and found this. Blood. KT has blood thinning qualities. If you prick your finger and bleed too freely, you may be drinking too much. You should reduce or stop drinking it a week before surgery. Similarly, if you suffer from heavy periods, stop taking KT a week beforehand Kathe __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer® 8 - Faster, safer, easier.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Hi Margret, Thanks for this info. This whole subject has been a concern, since I too am looking at surgery, and one of the first questions asked by doctors is if I am taking any blood thinning meds. I wish you all the best tomorrow.

Having to go to hospital tomorrow for surgery, I have been drinking Kombucha - quite a bit. ;-) One of the complications in the kind of operation I am having is pulmonary embolism, which occurs when blood thickens in the veins and forms a blockage. I'd rather bleed a bit more and not have a blockage. When I had an operation (under full anastetic) rectifying my veins, a few years ago, I never curbed back on Kombucha either before or after. There were no complications during the op and I had Kombucha to drink straight after recovery and walked about a mile the same day (it's allowed to give the veins exercise and help them back into functioning properly.) This time, it will be my thyroid gland that will get ousted - it feels like going to go to an execution ;-) I'm importing several bottles of the 'cold tea' to have after the operation. I'm glad it's allowed. :-) All the best with blessings, Margret:-) away for a few days ;-) -- +----------- ------- Minstreltherpc (DOT) f9.co.uk ------------ --------+ http://www.newlifed erby.org. uk http://www.therpc. f9.co.uk/ family/scobygrow /home.html http://bavarianmins trel.wordpress. com creation.com The answer to every human problem is God's help.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Do we avoid surgery because we take aspirin? It thins blood. I'm not very good at reseach on the web, yet, but I am not a bleeder. coagulation is supposedly a factor of vitamin K level in the blood, not the thickness of the blood itself. Blood thinners are generally used to prevent clots, which do a lot more damage than a little leak. In my experience drinking two quarts of Kombucha a day did not affect my ability to clot, so much so that the doctor taking my blood actually stared openly at the lack of blood when he would remove the needle. The use of Kombucha stimulates the liver, stimulating vitamin K production. Thin blood with lots of vitamin K is an ideal combination for surgery, when you want to avoid clots at all costs, and minimize bleeding. I personally believe that Kommbucha was designed by someone a lot smarter than we are, and do not for one second believe that they would have overlooked the implications of bleeding during trauma. Surgery is trauma, and many times unneeded. I have noticed that is especially good at web research, and hope that he takes the time to reseach this.
