=> Blockbuster & Vitamin E.....Duncan

[Guest guest]

Hi Duncan,

I read up on the Blockbuster, this product sounds like it could be very good

for one. I just have one question. I believe the Blockbuster is also a blood

thinner, " right " ....( For a long time, I have been taking d-alpha Vit-E with

Selenium in it. Am I correct in saying that Vit-E is also a blood thinner, and

if so, how safe would it be to take both the Blockbuster and the Vit-E.

Also is Omega 3 fish oil a blood thinner ( thought I had read that one time,

but maybe not.)

I think I have to be careful so that I don't get my blood to thin.

Thanks ahead of time.......<>kathy<>

Kathy, Blockbuster really isn't a blood thinner as such. What it does

is allow some clotting to occur and then erase the excess; thus

there's no risk of bleeding from normal injuries. With the excess

clotting removed the blood does appear thinner because spontaneous

blood coagulation is reduced as soon as it occurs.

A blood thinner like warfarin prevents the fibrin from coagulating

the blood and injuries in the first place. This interferes with

normal healing, thus the bleeding risk.

Vitamin E apparently makes the platelets more slippery, which means

less blood " shear " which is a stressor that triggers the fibrin to

start coagulation. You would keep taking the vitamin E and cod-liver

oil for that matter when you use BlockBuster; these vitamins are

often contraindicated when you're on warfarin, which is stupid

because they provide essential nutrients. Ahhh, isn't this the way of

medicine though

Unless you're a borderline heophiliac, or you're using an

anticoagulant like warfarin, there's no such thing as blood becoming

too thin. Thin is good; it allows better oxygen transport through the

capilliaries.
