Killers Silent Clots Blood Leg

A neighbor of mine died of this years ago. She tripped on a bottle of milk that was left on her doorstep, and banged her leg. She had a pain in the leg, but she was told to ignore it because it was bruised due to her tripping over..it was in fact a blood clot that went undetected.
It's very worrying to think that the symptoms come across as leg ache or leg pains, when in fact you can die from it!

My mother had a blood clot in both legs that woke her up from her sleep. She could barely walk. Fortunately, she went to the hospital and the surgeon there happened to be a expert in this type of procedure. Had she waited much longer, the surgeon basically told her the clots would have killed her. That started a whole lot of medical treatment that ended up with her getting a triple bypass and a new heart valve. The old one had been damaged for a long time (polio as a child) and was not pumping properly as well as creating blood clots. They found clots in a kidney and behind the defective valve as well. She is doing fine today! Good thing the pain was enough to wake her up!

Tremendous experience Vincenzo, sounds like mom is a fighter.

Not directly related but I want to mention that if one lives a health life, and when I say healthy I do not just mean eating right and exercise, but also some kinds of fasting then this will clear the body of growths, tumors, and cloths! The body is self healing and is more than ready to attack anything that will make it sick. So why does it not do it and people end up with cloths and disease... the reason is something amazingly unknown, but very real - because we eat. Eating takes up the most energy of the body, when you eat it literally stops everything else to focus on digestion. When you don't eat it resumes riding itself of waste, etc.

I mention this because I see people waste their lives with doctors and tablets when all they simply have to do is let their body do the work, then there will be no need to worry about cloths, disease, tumors, etc.

A good insight JB!

Yes blood clots are scary I have had family members (Aunts and Uncles) who where hospitalized. The clots were caused by bruising on a limb and they did not break up, a side not the three of them were heavy drinkers and smokers and had high fat diets.

Today one is dead from liver cancer on is seemingly ok but works hard labor outside, third is near death lung issues and organ damage. She has issues from smoking and long term exposure to high levels of cat fecal matter.

I ponder if they had followed JB advice above if they all would be healthier. FYI they all are/were under 60.

You all remember Konquererz right? I see Konquererz online now and again. He often mentioned in his Blog / Posts about his pressure and other ailments (can leads to things like blood cloths later). When I chat with him he tells me that he has actually put what I said about this to use and lost a lot of his weight and he is healthier. I am trying to get him to document that here, but he is swamped in a similar situation with me.

For sure! If you ever reach the stage of having to see a doctor or a surgeon it is because you have weakened your body to the stage that it cannot take care of itself. It is like running a car without adding in water or oil - it will eventually stop! Cloths, tumors, and even a gut are signs that the body needs some time to rid its waste. Actually, it is also a sign that the body is over taxed.

I am working on following JBs advise I am taking the last weekend of each month as a way to detoxify. I drink fruit juices only during that time. If everything works out I will let you all know about it.
