Thyme is an herb with culinary, medicinal and ornamental uses. Thyme is of the genus Thymus, the most common being Thymus vulgaris.
The flowers, leaves and oil of thyme are commonly used by people for the treatment of bedwetting, diarrhea, stomach ache, arthritis, colic, sore throat, cough (including whooping cough), bronchitis, flatulence and as a diuretic (to increase urination).
History of thyme
In Ancient Egypt thyme was used for embalming. In Ancient Greece thyme was used as an incense in temples - it was also commonly added to bathwater.
According to A Modern Herbal1, published in 1931 and written by Maud Grieve (1858-1941), the Romans, who used thyme as a cheese and alcoholic beverage flavoring, are believed to have brought it into the rest of Europe. Mrs Grieves, a Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society with an encyclopedic knowledge of medicinal plants, founded The Whins Medicinal and Commercial Herb School and Farm at Chalfont St. Peter in Buckinghamshire, England.
According to Georgetown University Medical Center2, Hippocrates (circa 460BC - circa 370BC), known today as "the father of Western medicine", mentioned the prevalence of thyme as a culinary herb, grown in gardens and gathered in the countryside. In his documented Hippocratic Corpus, he mentioned thyme's therapeutic uses in treating respiratory diseases and conditions.
The potential health benefits of thyme
Thymus vulgaris, also known as Wild Thyme, Garden Thyme or Thyme Green.
The essential oil of common thyme (Thymus vulgaris) - usually referred to as "oil of thyme" - contains 20-54% thymol.
Thymol belongs to a naturally-occurring class of compounds known as "biocides" (substances that can destroy harmful organisms). When thymus is used alongside other biocides, such as carvacrol, it has strong antimicrobial attibutes.
Scientists at the University of Manitoba, Canada, wrote in the International Journal of Food Microbiology3 that thymol can reduce bacterial resistance to common drugs such as penicillin.
Below are some studies that have looked into the medical uses and potential benefits of thyme, or substances found naturally in the herb.
The tiger mosquito
The Tiger mosquito, known by entomologists as Aedes albopictus (Stegomyia albopicta), is native to tropical and subtropical areas of Southeast Asia. However, since the 1990s it has spread to many other parts of the world and is a vector for the transmission of West Nile virus, Yellow fever virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue fever, and Chikungunya fever.
A team at Chungbuk National University in South Korea reported in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association4 that a combination of thymol, alpha-terpinene, and carvacrol was effective in killing off the Tiger mosquito larvae.
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Researchers at the University of Belgrade, Serbia, reported in the journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition5 that an aqueous extract obtained from Thymus serpyllum L. (wild thyme) reduced blood pressure in an animal experiment on laboratory rats.
As rats tend to have similar responses to humans in hypertensive situations, the team is hopeful that further human trials will confirm their findings.
In an Abstract in the journal, the study authors wrote "Our results indicate that TE may protect against hypertension in experimental model of essential hypertension."
Protecting from foodborne bacterial infections
Thyme essential oil.
A team at the Center of Studies of Animal and Veterinary Sciences in Portugal carried out a study to determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oils extracted from a range of aromatic plants, including thyme oil.
They reported in the journal Food Science and Technology International 6 that thyme oil, even at low concentrations, showed potential as a natural preservative of food products against several common foodborne bacteria that cause human illness.
A Polish study published in Medicinal Chemistry7 found that thyme oil was effective against bacterial strains ofStaphylococcus, Enterococcus, Escherichia and Pseudomonas genera.
Thyme oil was tested alongside lavender oil. The study authors wrote "Thyme oil demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotics resistant strains of the tested bacteria. Lavender oil has been less active against clinical strains of Staphylococcus, Enterococcusand Escherichia genus."
Colon cancer
A study found that extracts of Mastic Thyne (Thymus mastichina L.) may protect from colon cancers.
The scientific team, from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal concluded in the journal Natural Product Communications8 that "The presence of these constituents identified by colon cancer cytotoxicity-guided activity indicates that extracts of Thymus mastichina L. may have a protective effect against colon cancers."
Breast cancer
Oncologist researchers at Celal Bayar University in Turkey carried out a study to determine what effect Wild Thyme (Thymus serpyllum) might have on breast cancer activity.
They were specifically looking at the effects of Wild Thyme on apoptosis (cell death) and epigenetic events in breast cancer cells. Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene expression caused by mechanisms that do not involve alterations in DNA sequence.
They reported in the journal Nutrition and Cancer9 that Wild Thyme induced cell death in the breast cancer cells.
The study authors concluded that Wild Thyme "may be a promising candidate in the development of novel therapeutic drugs for breast cancer treatment."
Yeast infection
The fungus Candida albicans is a common cause of mouth and vaginal yeast infections. Often referred to as "thrush", vaginal yeast infections are generally recurring.
Researchers at the University of Turin in Italy set out to determine what effect thyme essential oil might have on Candida albicans in the human body.
The team reported in the journal Planta Medica10 that thyme essential oil significantly enhanced intracellular killing of C. albicans.
Prolonging the stability of cooking oils
Lipid oxidation is a serious problem during food processing and storage, leading to losses of quality, stability, safety and nutritional value.
Scientists at the Institute of Agricultural and Food Biotechnology in Warsaw, Poland, carried out a study to determine whether thyme extract might prolong the stability of sunflower oil.
The team stored sunflower oils with ethanol extract of thyme at 1% level added. The oil samples were stored in darkness at 4°C, 18°C, 38°C.
The researchers concluded in the journal "Technologia Alimentaria ACTA Scientiarum Polonorum"11 that "Results show that thyme extract prolonged stability of sunflower oil and it may be a potent antioxidant for its stabilization."
Common skin problems
Dermatological (skin) problems are common in rural and urban areas of developing countries. In poorer areas of the world, traditional preparations of plant origin may be the only choice people have as an alternative to synthetic medications.
A team at the All African Leprosy and Dermatology Education and Training Center, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, carried out a two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the therapeutic benefits of a 10% chamomile extract cream and a 3% thyme essential oil antifungal cream for eczema-like lesions.
The investigators reported in the International Journal of Dermatology12 that 66.5% of those treated with thyme essential oil fungal cream were completely healed, compared to 28.5% of those using placebo. There was no significant difference between the chamomile extract cream and placebo.
WILD THYME RESPIRATORY IMMUNE BOOSTERS
Thyme rebuilds the entire digestive system, nervous system and restore the liver, stimulating circulation by helping to get warmth to cold body parts to stop cold chills, and build energy levels. It eliminates chest infections for example bronchitis, cough, asthma, mental fatigue, tension, anxiety, mood swings, depression and sleeplessness. Rheumatism of stiffness and pain in joints can be treated with Thyme oil with coconut or olive oil baths and/or rubs. It is healing Thyme for your skin, liver, gallbladder, bowels, vagina, mouth, energy levels, and more!
BE CAREFUL: in using the essential oil of Thyme because it is very very powerful and concentrated so must be diluted with a connector oil like coconut or olive oil. You only need one or two drops to start, mixed with some olive oil. Put it in a evaporator so you can breath it in to clear up respirator issues and clean the air of impurities. Put it in your bath water to pull out toxins. The uses are endless.

Balsam Fir
(Abies balsamea)![[Balsam Fir]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tbPa8dC-jarycu3GuLy78Pk0d51pVLZgHdiINtkYRVdUH1k-2gc00FIa7Akh-HLuVPSU7-e9mvLFrmuwpTZ8tXNS4fm1XuGnCdl5XqLDf3Ff9n1xa72E9U55vYxdi4Ng=s0-d) What makes a fir, a fir? Notice the balsam fir's cones standing straight up on top of the branch. This is a sign of a "true" fir, and completely opposite of the cones you see hanging down on most other conifers. These cones are a unique purple-green color and grow from 2-4 inches long. After the first year, the cones mature and the seeds ripen. Then, both the seed and the scales of the cone drop to the ground leaving a pencil-like center standing on the branch like a spike. Historians think that this spike when snow-covered inspired the Germanic people to decorate trees with candles or lights. Evergreens also inspired the Yuletide song "O Tannenbaum" (O Christmas Tree).
The balsam fir is found in forests in the northern half of Wisconsin, usually growing with white spruce in cool, moist, or shaded places. Balsam fir trees are medium sized, standing about 40-60 feet with a trunk diameter of 1-2 feet. Look for bark that is thin, smooth and grayish, marked by blisters filled with resin or balsam pitch. The "leaves" are needle-like and flat, this is one sign it's a fir. The needle-leaves are dark green on top and have silvery white bands underneath. Leaves measure ½ to 1 inch with rounded points and are twisted, arranged in what looks like two rows.
Balsams are used by people for many products, especially holiday trees. They are also used for pulp to make paper products. The resins from the pitch blisters on the bark is called "Canada Balsam" and is used as a clear cement for glass in optical instruments and microscope slides.

Botanical Name
Family Pinaceae, Abies balsamea,
Common Names: Canadian Balsam, Canada Balsam
Description: Native to North America, the Balsam Fir is a conical evergreen tree growing to 180 feet, producing aromatic needlelike leaves and purple fir cones. In the eastern US, it is used mainly as a "Christmas tree", and has long been commercially exploited for its timber. It is the source of the liquid resin called Canada balsam, which is tapped from sixty to eighty-year-old trees in the spring.
History: Dr. Wooster Beech (1794-1868), founder of the Eclectic healing movement, regarded balsam fir as a stimulant and laxative when taken internally and as an emollient and coolant when used externally. It has an extensive history of medicinal use in North America and Europe for congestion and other infections, but not used much today. It was used mainly by Native Americans and early settlers for a wide variety of conditions.
Key Actions: antiseptic coolant decongestant emollient laxative stimulantKey Components: liquid oleo-resinMedicinal Parts: Needles, resin, roots, branches, barkTraditional Uses: The resin was used in a variety of ways by Native Americans. Tthe Penobscots put it on burns, cuts, and sores. Ointments and plasters were also applied to the chest and back for colds and chest problems. It not only makes an effective treatment, but also is a protective coating, especially for cuts and burns.
Many tribes including the Algonquin, Woodlands Cree, Iroquois, Menominee, Micmac, Ojibwa, and Potawatomi treated colds with a tea made from the sap or bark.
The Pillagers and Ojibwa used the aromatic needles in their sweat lodges, inhaling the smoke from burning leaves to cure such respiratory problems as bronchitis.

NATURALLY REMOVE YOUR BLOOD CLOTS & MORE
Natural Blood Clot Treatment
Whatever the causes of the blood clot, it can typically be treated naturally. Common blood clot treatment ranges from taking supplements to making simple lifestyle changes. A tonic of diluted apple cider vinegar, regular dosage of 2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses, and increased consumption of cayenne up to 3 teaspoons 6 days a week are all effective natural treatments. Supplementing the diet with ginger and sassafras has also been supported as a method for dissolving blood clots. Adding additional physical activity, such as walking, to a daily routine is an additional healthy lifestyle change that should help remedy blood clots. Typically a natural lifesaving mechanism, a blood clot forms in a healthy individual to stop the flow of the blood from a wound or a cut. However, blood clots can also form abnormally, which in turn can cause additional health conditions and complications. This type of dangerous blood clot can form in several different locations of the body as a result of various different causes. The actual formulation of a blood clot happens in response to a certain series of events. The blood typically flows freely throughout the body; however, when it is exposed to certain thrombogenic substances, it begins to form a thrombus or clot. Initially, a platelet plug is formed followed by chemical reactions that grow the clot. Blood clots may form in several different locations in the body ranging from the legs to the lungs, brain, and heart. Several factors and conditions can cause blood clots. The most common causes of blood clots include arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, consumption of certain medications, family history of blood clots, obesity, pregnancy, prolonged sitting or bed rest, smoking, and surgery. Several more serious conditions often result from blood clots. Common conditions caused by blood clots include deep vein thrombosis, heart attack, stroke, and pulmonary embolism.
Blackstrap Molasses
[YEA] 06/14/2013: Desmond from Chicago, Il: "I had a swelling in my right calf that was throbbing and it felt like needles or it felt like a balloon filled with water ready to explode and it was extremely hot to touch. I went to my clinic and was informed that I'd have to return the following week and see a Specialist. The appointment was made and I went home.
Had phoned my sister-in-law in Donegal, Ireland and told her as I was starting to worry at this point with no relief and she told me to get some Molasses and taking 2 tablespoons daily and it will make it disappear!
Sunday evening when I got home I took 2 tablespoon fulls, repeated it Monday morning and night, same Tuesday and Wednesday too and took another on Thursday morning.
Went to my appointment on Thursday afternoon and was asked to roll up my pants and the Specialist looked at my chart and then to both my legs and back and forth and then he says to me, "Which leg is the affected one?" and told him that I was not sure as it was his opinion that I wanted to hear and then his words were: "You're wasting both my time and your own..." that I had no blood clot and to get out of here and be thankful.
I knew it was the Molasses that cured me and I've been telling that story to everyone except the medical staff. For they would never believe me!
Thanks,
Desmond Campbell"
06/15/2013: Anonymous replies: "Hi Desmond, This is great news and thanks for posting. However please consider carrying on with a small dose of Blackstrap Molasses ever day and try and investigate why you had the clot as they can be a red flag to some other disease."
07/18/2013: Kt from The USA replies: "Hi Desmond, did you use just "Molasses" or Blackstap Molasses?"
[YEA] 11/18/2013: Annice from Texas replies: "Thank you Desmond for taking the time to post this. The same thing happened to me.J ust below my knee on the calf of my leg. It just kept swelling and it was red. We had just watched Dr. Oz the day before, and he told of the symptoms of a blood clot. It was scary.
I am not one to run to the doctor for just what ever. But I thought well now I have to go. Did not expect to find any help for a blood clot. OK, Blackstrap molasses, really .I went straight to the grocery store (I brought my Tblsp) with me. Took it before I left the parking lot .I was desperate. It has been a week now. And the clot seems to be gone.I took 2 tbls a day mixed in 6oz. of milk. I plan to keep taking it. Maybe not as much, but it seems to be a healthy addition to anyones diet. I used the Brer Rabbit brand because the lable showed to have more iron and magnesium than the grandmas brand. Hope this helps someone."
11/18/2013: Prioris from Fl replies: "There is already an optimal healthy supplement for blood clots - fibrolytic enzymes e.g. nattokinase (clot buster). Given that it could be a life or death issue, I would recommend that people retire molasses and other treatments to the dustbin as a treatment unless they can't get access to the enzyme."
Nattokinase
10/10/2008: Ingrid from Tampa, Florida: "Nattokinase is known for dissolving blood clots - It is suppose to do a better (HEALTHIER) job than the chemical drugs such as Coumadin and Warfarin but nobody has been able to tell me what dosage to take. I am currently on 12mg of Warfarin for a Trombal vein blood clot and want to switch to Nattokinase asap but need to know the dosage to take?? Thanks in advance for the info.
The following info I copied from Wikkipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nattokinase
Nattokinase is an enzyme extracted and purified from a Japanese food called Natto. Natto is a cheese-like food made from fermented soybeans that has been eaten in Japan for many years. It is thought by some to be a valuable tool in minimizing the chances of developing heart and vascular diseases. Natto is produced by fermentation by adding the bacterium Bacillus natto, a beneficial bacteria, to boiled soybeans. The resulting nattokinase enzyme is produced when the bacterium acts on the soybeans. While other soy foods contain enzymes, it is only the natto preparation that contains the specific nattokinase enzyme. Nattokinase is valued in the alternative medicine community as a clot-buster and blood thinner, and is sometimes recommended as a substitute for daily aspirin therapy. But it's effects go beyond that in terms of catalyzing other enzyme activity."
07/23/2009: rideronthestorm54 from Grand Junction, CO replies: "I have researsched the natto and it was recommended to take a dose of 2000fui to help with blood clots."
[YEA] 04/21/2012: Feporam from Carlton, Pa, United States replies: "I have a history of blood clots, my doctor started me on Nattokinase and, as long as I take it, I have had no further incidents. I went off of it for a couple of weeks and ended up with 2 clots, but they quickly disappeared after a few days back on nattokinase. This also has helped to ease my menstrual issues."
12/07/2012: Randall from Carol Stream, Il replies: "what is fui? I haven't heard of this measurement... I searched google but I didn't find anything helpful? How does fui convert to international units or miligrams?"
12/26/2012: Nohard from Aristomenis, Messinais, Greece replies: "Reply to fui, OK 100mg is 2000 FU, I think you will find that the person who did the reply hit the u and the I at the same time ui like that, and thats why you cant find the answer to fui, simple if you look hard enough. Good Luck"

Organic Apple Cider Vinegar for Health!
Multiple Cures Reported
[YEA] 09/11/2009: Justmeh from Sdney, Nsw Australia: "I am the living witness on how Organic Apple Cider Vinegar helps much in our body. I suffered different ailments..and it always come to the doctor see the cure and take the medicines. But still it takes a while before the our body relieves. I use this internet to see what is best on my ailments. I found this Organic ACv. i try to use it last 2008. and until now it does really works with me. Every time i am not feeling well, I used 1 tbsp of acv diluted with a glass of water3x a day before meal. It does really works with me. Good advise try it and you will see the difference with your body!!heaps of people relieves thru this .Try now! Use straw to drink it!!"
[YEA] 05/07/2009: Jon from Birmingham, Alabama: "I am a wellness coach and I tell everybody about the healing benefits of ACV. Many people have tried it with great results. One thing is that everyone is different. Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural detoxifier. I know first hand it cured my skin condition taking 2 teaspoons in 10 ounces of water twice a day. I have experienced all the similar benefits that everyone else has. I had an overactive liver and now I don't!! That is the most impressive benefit for me! Why, because I was toxic and it did take a while, but by continuing to use it I experienced the full benefit I could. No more sever cold or Flu.I hardly ever feel bad. ACV balances out the ph in your body and when that is balanced your body begins it's natural processes for healing itself. Like anything else it is not really the best tasting tonic but it doesn't follow with the label.
Side Effects, could fall asleep, could feel extreme pain, you may feel lost or suddenly confused, so far to date the worst side effect I have heard is if you are extremely toxic, you could experience a major breakout in your skin. So always start out with a low dosage and work up to the recommended dose as your body can handle.I have seen people get rid of shingles, lower there blood pressure,get rid of mild to severe acne, blood sugars balance out in diabetics, prostate problems go away, finger nails grew stronger, taste become more enhanced, wartz gone, athletes foot gone, stomach ulcers dissipate, cleans out your colon, helps prevent edema, more and more.I would only recommend talking with your doctor first if you are taking medications. Do some research on your issues and if taking ACV in some way shape or form could help you. Another thing is your kidneys filter 200 quarts of blood in 24 hours.The kidney play major roles in blood pressure and supports the health of many other organs.So when your urinating a bunch, you generally are doing something right. I hope I helped inform some people on how the body works and how ACV help aid the body."
[YEA] 04/08/2009: Rob from North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand: "Hi there, I have just come across your great site and have now saved it to my favourites for ready access as and when required.
I have been using apple cider vinegar for over eight years after breaking both my clacaneous (heel bones) in a fall from a miltary assault case on a proferssional training exercise at a work conference. I was referred to it by a Reiki healer who felt it would assist me deal with the ongoing pain issues and also felt it would be a good de tox for the body.
It certainly did that with ny body reacting initially with a lot of small boil type infections manifesting as the apple cider vinegar in the body forced the toxins out through the skin. That lasted for 2 months and then my body cleared and I felt a whole lot better as a result - and continue to do so.
I am confident that ACV has assisted me to reduce the effects of living with constant pain and has so many other added values as the amino acids and enzymes produced in the fermentation process act as catalysts to help the body break down and rebuild molecules on a daily basis.
I swear by the natural benefits of ACV in so many ways and it is now part of my daily routine of getting up in the morning and pouring 25mm + into the bottom of glass and filling with warm water and a touch of sea salt. I follow this with a further 4 to 5 glases of water and this is a great way to start the day. I also try to have a shot before my meals when practical to do so.
If i go on a road trip I fill my water bottle with a dose of ACV and couple of pinches of sea salt as well.
Here is another good tip for you -Try filling a spray bottle with one third ACV and balance wityh water and spray onto your hair and skin on a daily basis after shampooing while showering. Just wait for the positive comments from your hairdresser and your skin feels nice and soft as a result. My hair is rejuvinated and definitely feels thicker as a result of using ACV.
So I am a believer and any natural product that contains essential minerals and trace elements present in ACV such as calcium, boron, magnesium,silicon,manganese and potassium has to have a positive effect on ones metabolism.
Another tip for liver spots on the skin ( hands and face in particular) as aging kicks in is to dip half a lemon into a bowl filled with ACV and let soak for short while as absorption occurs. Then rub on liver- spotted skin daily and watch spots begin to fade in a few weeks.
I have been using apple cider vinegar for over eight years after breaking both my clacaneous (heel bones) in a fall from a miltary assault case on a proferssional training exercise at a work conference. I was referred to it by a Reiki healer who felt it would assist me deal with the ongoing pain issues and also felt it would be a good de tox for the body.
It certainly did that with ny body reacting initially with a lot of small boil type infections manifesting as the apple cider vinegar in the body forced the toxins out through the skin. That lasted for 2 months and then my body cleared and I felt a whole lot better as a result - and continue to do so.
I am confident that ACV has assisted me to reduce the effects of living with constant pain and has so many other added values as the amino acids and enzymes produced in the fermentation process act as catalysts to help the body break down and rebuild molecules on a daily basis.
I swear by the natural benefits of ACV in so many ways and it is now part of my daily routine of getting up in the morning and pouring 25mm + into the bottom of glass and filling with warm water and a touch of sea salt. I follow this with a further 4 to 5 glases of water and this is a great way to start the day. I also try to have a shot before my meals when practical to do so.
If i go on a road trip I fill my water bottle with a dose of ACV and couple of pinches of sea salt as well.
Here is another good tip for you -Try filling a spray bottle with one third ACV and balance wityh water and spray onto your hair and skin on a daily basis after shampooing while showering. Just wait for the positive comments from your hairdresser and your skin feels nice and soft as a result. My hair is rejuvinated and definitely feels thicker as a result of using ACV.

Cayenne
[YEA] 06/01/2007: Karenna from SF, CA: "Cayenne is NOT unsafe per one of your feedback customers. I recently found your website in some research I am doing on Cayenne and Lymph, but was a little disconcerted to see that you published someone's testimonial warning others not to use cayenne if they do not want their blood thinned.
Cayenne is used in midwifery and in other instances when needed to stop hemorrhaging, and has the ability to correct and balance both ends of many circulation issues. It will assist in dissolving clots as well as stopping bleeding, and it will -- over time -- correct both high and low blood pressure.
I suggest to all readers that when it comes to benefits and contraindications of herbs and medications, that they exhaustive research, or at least more than they think is necessary, to discover what they need to know for their particular situation or those for whom they are caring."
EC: Thanks, Karenna. We appreciate your clarification!

I've been doing 3 teaspoons 6 days a week for last 2 and a half years with only positive effects. I suggest to read http://www.herballegacy.com/Cayenne.html for more info."
[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] 01/20/2011: Jarret from Calgary, Alberta, Canada replies: "I've been following earth clinic for a couple years now. Every couple weeks to a month I have been getting pains which seem to come directly from the center of my heart. I dissolve 2 90,000 heat unit cayennes into a glass a water and bear the burn, but it seems the clot which was causing so much pain gets past my heart and it stops hurting. I haven't been able to take lots of cayenne everyday tho so I don't know if it will permanently fix this problem but it has done the trick several times over... I was even having pain in my left arm today and was worried I might end up with a heart attack if I didn't do something.
Cayenne also works awesome for cuts... burns pretty bad at first but gives a nice heal with no scar for the couple times I've used it on myself and others but these were minor wounds, so I can't say how well it would work for something severe."
01/21/2011: Tara from South Hadley, Ma, Usa replies: "That's great feedback Jarret, thanks. I wonder if in an emergency you could apply cayenne over the heart in a diluted solution of DMSO, which would penetrate immediately? Does anyone have any thoughts about that? Thanks."
01/21/2011: Blanche from Iberia Parish, Louisiana, Usa replies: "Jarret, reading these symptoms, I think if I were you I would go to a doctor to at least know what you are dealing with. It may not be wise to try to treat this with home remedies. Good luck to you."
01/22/2011: Lemarque from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia replies: "Hi Jarret, I would strongly suggest that you go to your doctor and get this problem looked at ASAP. You describe the "clot" as "passing", but it is very unusual for this to occur. Circulating clots will almost always lodge in the lungs (PE) before they reach the heart. Clots in the coronary arteries means heart attack 100% of the time - no exceptions.
However from the symptoms you describe it is more likely going to be coronary artery sclerosis or angina. The extent of this condition needs to be assessed as it seems you are already getting warning signs. It is always better to get these things checked, if there is a serious underlying problem, get the issue addressed and then return to natural health approaches as a preventative measure for the future. If the tests show nothing is wrong with your heart, then that is the best outcome and you can then direct your attention to finding a way to treat the condition not just the symptoms. I truly hope you take heed of this advice."
02/02/2011: Jarret from Calgary, Alberta replies: "Thanks for all the concern guys.
Tara, I think the best and quickest way for it to be effective is to put it in hot/warm water and drink. I don't really know what dmso is tho.. but I would think if you put it inside your body it will get into your blood and dilate your arteries much more directly than it could ever possibly do through your skin.
For the past weeks I have kept taking a tsp of cayenne (pills got expensive) in a glass of hot water at least 3x a day... It has provided a great deal of relief, but I am aware that this isn't a cure all. Lemarque I too suspect arterial sclerosis.. And by how badly my legs have scaled over I am severly depleted in good fats, however I did get a basic hepatology screening and everything came back normal (ie ldl) I would contribute the current condition to about 15 years of eating a high salt fast food diet. Another added benefit of taking this cayenne has been that the top of my head on my baldy spot has been warm again after being cold for a very long time. No sprouts yet tho :) I could feel the clots in different areas of my body as well. It got stuck in my arm, my heart, my lung, and what felt like the frontol lobe of my brain... But everytime I just kept taking the cayenne until it passed. I haven't felt it for a week or so but am still taking the cayenne to be safe. I have also started eating flax seeds (mulling them to a pulp) (and this is for omega3/ALA) everyday and while it's only been a few days of it I am feeling way better."
06/17/2011: John from Bridgeton, New Jersey replies: "Lemarque is absolutely correct. I am 43 and just got released from the hospital with my 4th MI (Heart attack) in 2 years. In that time I have suffered DVT's, PE's and ultimately the MI's. I have a severe lotting issue that to dat, has only been managed through a host of medications. If I miss 4 days (seems to be the magic number), I am destined for another MI. I have been given two additional medications to control the sickness the other ones cause, so as of today I am taking 9 pills a day. Clots are NOTHING to play around with. I must be the luckiest guy in the world to survive so many MI's in such a short period, but even I know how soon that could end.
Personally I would love to explore the possibility of organic treatment, but having gone through what I have gone through, I wouldn't dare do anything without the direct guidance of my doctors at this point. The consequences are far too extreme!
I would love to hear some thoughts on organic alternatives since I am now retired from my law enforcement career and have all the time in the world to do some research! :-)

09/21/2011: Ian from Sanford, Florida replies: "Hi John,
I think you should consider taking Nattokinase as it is a potent blood thinner. If you do decide to take it, then it is best to take with plenty of water 1 hour before meals or snacks or 2 hours after meals or snacks.

Would cayenne and garlic help if I added it to my diet? Thanks, Michelle"
02/24/2013: Aeiver from New Braunfels, Tx replies: "An interesting book about cayenne and other healing foods is "Left For Dead" by Dick Quinn who writes about his experience with heart disease and regaining his health."
07/10/2013: Terri from Midwest City, Ok replies: "I would be interested in knowing how cayenne is used. Is it the pepper itself or is it used in the powder form that you can buy as a spice? Is it mixed with food or water. Is there a certain way to use it to address one ailment over another? I have pain on the inside of my leg that seems to be slowly moving upward that I suspect is a clot. I don't know but it has been moving up my left leg for a very long time and is now in the thigh area. I work from home and sit most of the time with my right ankle crossed over my left leg at the knee. Thank you!"
07/11/2013: Kt from The Usa replies: "Hi Terri, I just happened to read your post and thought I had been experiencing the same thing with one of my legs. I had read some benefits from taking cayenne pepper so I had started to use it on my eggs and vegetables along with turmeric and ginger. I don't know whether it is the combination or not but since I have been taking it I have not had that "feeling" in my leg. In fact, I had not given it another thought until I read your post. Just thought I'd share."
07/18/2013: Kt from The USA replies: "I wanted to report an update. I awoke this AM with pain in the leg in which I suspect a clot. I mixed about 1/2 tsp cayenne in some warm water and chugged it. After that, I took about 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp ginger in some warm water and chugged that. I then mixed about a TBSP of BSM in some warm water and drank that. I went for a ten minute walk. When I returned I ate about 1/2 C cooked carrots and a garlic clove. I don't know which combination worked or if they will counter each other later but the "tightness" in that leg has gone for right now although I can still feel a little disturbance.
Can anyone provide a warning about what I took? Sometimes, when you're in the pain I was in, you don't think too clear. I know the turmeric and ginger are from roots. I guess you can consider those a starch. I know too many carbs (starches) clog pores and veins. (BTW, a popular medical site locked me out of my account for reporting something they apparently didn't like until I begged for reinstatement and pleaded ignorance due to my brain injuries---which is true). During my times of employment I stood the majority of the time. I was never one to sit for long periods of time until getting the computer but I've had to cut back on that. I rode horses for several years but that is not idle sitting."
07/19/2013: Andrea C from Cardiff, Wales replies: "Take half a teaspoon of cayenne in the morning, other half in the evening..... In WARM WATER. So your body knows what's coming. It may feel a bit burny, but that will pass."
07/20/2013: Kt from The Usa replies: "Hi Andrea, should I take it on an empty stomach or after I eat?"
07/21/2013: Andrea C from Cardiff, Wales replies: "You can take it with or without food. You can also put it on your food, but I do both as I like it. Love Andrea xxx"
