This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Here is food for thought folks:

ok, so I always premise my posts that I have Neuro Lyme disease, am an RN, and have CCSVI, scheduled for Liberation on 5/2/11.

I'm researching my behind off to see what I can do for myself Post-op to avoid Restenosis, Hemolysis, etc.

Hemolysis is found in 90% or more of Lyme patients.

Use the Link below that confirms this:

The Dr. has his patients on SQ Heparin. I have spoken to him recently and they are on 1400 U 2 x day. Cognition, Neuro complaints are greatly resolved with just this therapy as he discusses in his article. Many more articles like this one out there.

With this known, what is the best agent to use to deal with this issue ? Through lots of research, I believe I have found the answer. The Product is called Boluoke. The main ingrediant is Lumbrokinase, but I would stress that Boluoke should be used if your Dr. is in agreement with this theory for the reasons outlined in the article below:

Listen to the testimonial of one Dr. that swears by Boluoke:

More research has led me to several labs that can be done to confirm this problem. Labcorp offers specific Panels that I will paste below. Discuss this with your Dr. and see what he/she thinks. I am being tested for these now. I already have an Abnormal Fibrin Monomer, so I do believe I am on to something. Esoterix is owned by Labcorp, so all of these can be drawn at Labcorp and even the Esoterix codes below are actually Labcorp codes.

A little more info as this pertains to Hypercoagulation and Chronic Illnes so not to be Lyme biased:

Hypercoagulation means thickened blood. Research from the late 1990s reveals that many patients with chronic disease may have an underlying coagulation defect contributing to their symptoms. While few doctors are familiar with this condition, understanding the theory behind it can help explain many symptoms. Treatment based on this theory can lead to improvement and even recovery.

David Berg of Hemex Laboratories has been studying the hypercoagulation often found in patients with chronic disease. This list currently includes CFS/FMS, myofascial pain syndrome, osteonecrosis of the jaw, fetal loss, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, Sjogren's syndrome, IBS, Lyme disease, autism, gulf war illness and ADD.
