Re: Why stop enzymes before surgery?

[Guest guest]

Proteases can thin the blood. The positives of this are that the

blood is cleaned out and circulation is improved. Proteases have been

shown in research to improve circulation and blood/oxygen flow and

thus, have been prescribed for circulatory problems.

But these enzymes are recommended to be stopped before surgery so

that there is minimal bleeding (maximum clotting at the wound site)

when cuts are made.

I didn't know this (that proteases thin the blood) but thought it was

worth mentioning that my daughter just had a few baby teeth out-I

definitely didn't stop any enzymes-and she had no bleeding problems

whatsoever. She had a root tip out as well and even that did not

bleed much. Just FYI.

This is excellent news and great timing. ph has his first loose tooth.

I'm a little nervous about how he'll handle eating once the tooth is really

loose. I remember I use to go about half nuts trying to get the teeth out,

because the wiggle drove me crazy.

My daughter doesn't like loose teeth and usually stops eating chewy

things like bagels. Once it gets really loose she will ask me to

pull it for her-which I hate doing-but I do it. The babyteeth she

had pulled were because her permanent teeth had come in behind them-

she was born with a cleft palate so she has some problems with upper

tooth placement because of that. I loved loose teeth as a kid! LOL!
