Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Nattokinase is becoming an increasingly popular enzyme to treat ISAC (hypercoagulation) which has been found in 90% of those Dx with CFS and lyme; it has also been found in other long term illnesses that have been linked with chronic infections. Natto can also have a BP lowering effect in those who have high BP because it also inhibits ACE which is responsible for the conversion from angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Could this be why natto's popularity is increasing through treating both these problems at the same time? We know that benicar in normal doses effects the HPA axis in a way that makes it possibly unsuitable for those who are already having problems. There have been numerous other problems reported too, this has resulted in supplementation being needed to restore essential levels of vit D, the b vits including B12, folic acid and B6 There have been other problems for some who have started the MP but have had to drop out. I have yet to read of any of these problems occurring through the use of natto. Perhaps those who are good at looking up the research data and scientific papers could look into this. Maybe be this is one of the safer alternatives than could be used to achieve some of the benefits the MP claims to achieve without the diufficulties it seems to be causing 50% who go onto it. I am not sure how this would fit in with the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha theory but not everyone benefits from reducing vit D, many with CFS are struggling as a result of reducing it. Here are a couple of commercial sites whose info includes this Ace inhibiting action in Natto. It would appear that Natto can in theory at least treat both ISAC and the problems with raised levels of ACE leading to higher levels of angiotensin II. http://www.buynattokinase.com/natto1P.html http://www.springboard4health.com/notebook/health_nattokinase.html Cheers, Tansy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I am having my best day yet following my downfall and am on high doses of B12. Agent Bleu How many others have had problems with B12? Are other reporting anaemia? Researchers at the University of Milan now report that a vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with higher levels of the inflammatory cytokine, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and reduced levels of epidermal growth factor (EGF). It is believed that high levels of TNF-alpha speed up the progression of Alzheimer's disease thus explaining the association between low vitamin B12 levels and Alzheimer's. The researchers point out that the increase in TNF-alpha and the decrease in EGF can both be reversed by vitamin B12 supplementation. TNF-alpha is also implicated in the progression of HIV to AIDS and vitamin B12 has been found to slow this progression. > > Nattokinase is becoming an increasingly popular enzyme to treat ISAC > (hypercoagulation) which has been found in 90% of those Dx with CFS > and lyme; it has also been found in other long term illnesses that > have been linked with chronic infections.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Tansy, this is really interesting stuff to me. I have been using NattoK for about 9 months in replacement of the heparin I had been on for 3 years. It has seemed to keep my hypercoagulation at bay, but I had also noticed improvement in a few symptoms that were still holding on. I never thought that the NattoK may have been the reason, but reading this about it being an ACE inhibitor, might be what has done it. Thanks, exceiting news to me. > > Nattokinase is becoming an increasingly popular enzyme to treat ISAC > (hypercoagulation) which has been found in 90% of those Dx with CFS > and lyme; it has also been found in other long term illnesses that > have been linked with chronic infections.
