“The leading cause of death in the western world is the formation of abnormal clots inside a blood vessel. It is important for healthy people to take steps to prevent this.” Life Extension
“Abnormal platelet stickiness increases atherosclerosis and further narrows the internal diameter of the artery, factors that predispose one to stroke and heart attack.” Braly 1985
“Ginger inhibits abnormal platelet aggregation by two methods; it acts as a potent inhibitor of thrombi and has twice the anti-platelet power as aspirin.” Life Extension
When you get cut you want a clot of form and the wound to heal. You do not want to bleed to death. OTOH you do not want clots to form inside your body for no good reason. In order to do this your body has evolved extremely complex systems. Over 40% of the 50,000 or so proteins in your body are involved in this complex process.
As we age the blood clotting mechanism tilts toward over clotting for many people. One result is what is called “Thick” or Hyper-coagulated Blood. This can be a factor in MANY serious health problems including cardiovascular disease, cancer and other diseases. Doctor Gary Gordon believes "abnormal blood clots" are involved in 80% of all deaths.
By being aware of this risk and taking the simple steps to counter the risk you will be obviating MANY serious health problems.
