aspirin and heart disease?
More news about heart disease and aspirin. I have not used the supplements Dr
Mercola is speaking of, so I can’t advocate them, but the article is informative
nonetheless. Finally, A Natural Alternative to Aspirin for Cardiovascular Health
CardioEssentialsScientific ResearchExpert Opinions Product and Dosage
Information
Using aspirin for heart disease has been controversial for years, and now
aspirin is in the news again. According to a recent study in American Heart
Journal, people who are diagnosed with heart failure and follow a treatment
regimen that includes blood thinners such as aspirin or coumadin (warfarin)
could be putting their health into more danger.
While millions take these medications every day, many suffer from a long list of
side effects that include gastrointestinal bleeding and ruptured blood vessels.
Worst of all, medications like warfarin and aspirin do little to solve the
underlying problem. One only need to look at the facts for proof — since the
introduction of these medicines, there has been no decrease in the number of
heart attacks and strokes in the US.
CardioEssentials
Finally, I can now offer you CardioEssentials, a much healthier, safer, and
effective option than aspirin. CardioEssentials contains a truly revolutionary
powerful enzyme called nattokinase, derived from the food natto - that has been
used successfully for circulatory problems.
Unlike aspirin, and other pharmaceutical agents, Nattokinase has been used
safely for over 20 years, has not been known to produce any negative side
effects — and it is not known to be an allergen. Among its many remarkable
properties, nattokinase has shown the ability to:
increase oxygen deliverability (energy)
aids circulation
increase availability of other nutrients and supplements
support vision
augment bone density
aid joint pain
assist in management of migraine headaches
alleviate joint and muscles pains from excessive physical exertion
It’s no coincidence that the people of Japan consume natto regularly, and live
longer. Since there are so many health problems caused by compromised
circulation, the number of conditions that might benefit from nattokinase is
staggering.
Nattokinase has shown applications in helping chronic health problems, even
those that are not generally thought of as circulation problems.

Often compared to cheese because of its pungent aroma, natto is steamed soybeans
that are fermented until they acquire their "nutty" flavor. Natto has
slippery-sticky paste on its surface, and once stirred, the slippery paste
increases in volume forming spider web-like threads. Often described as an
"acquired taste", fans of blue cheese will probably love natto.
Natto has been a traditional Japanese food for more than 1,000 years. According
to Japanese folklore, the famous warrior Yoshiie Minamoto was responsible for
introducing natto to northwestern Japan. Ancient Samurai consumed natto on a
daily basis and even fed it to their horses to increase their speed and
strength. During the Edo Period (1603 - 1867), natto was given to pregnant women
to insure a healthy newborn.
Natto is produced by a fermentation process by adding Bacillus natto, beneficial
bacteria, to boiled soybeans. For centuries, it was easily made at home;
soybeans were packed in straw (which contained a natural bacillus) then buried
for a week in the ground. Today, natto is made by injecting the bacteria. The
Bacillus natto acts on the soybeans, producing the nattokinase enzyme. Other soy
foods contain enzymes, but only the natto preparation contains the specific
nattokinase enzyme.
When compared to ordinary soybeans, the natto produces more calories, fiber,
calcium, potassium and B2. Natto has slightly less protein than beef, but
contains more fiber, iron and nearly double the calcium and vitamin E.
Healthy Soy vs. Unhealthy Soy
Regular visitors to Mercola.com are well aware of the dangers of soy, so it is
crucial to make a distinction between the health effects of fermented vs.
non-fermented soy. Non-fermented soy products contain phytic acid, which
contains anti-nutritive properties. Phytic acid binds with certain nutrients,
including iron, to inhibit their absorption.
When soybeans are fermented into products like natto or tempeh, this effect of
phytic acid is blunted. The fermentation also creates the probiotics–the "good"
bacteria the body is absolutely dependent on, such as lactobacilli–that
increase the quantity, availability, digestibility and assimilation of nutrients
in the body. The fermentation process actually removes virtually all of the
negative side effects of soy and converts it into a powerful health food
The History of Nattokinase: The Next Quantum Advancement in Disease Improvement
In 1928, Sir Alexander Fleming, after examining some colonies of Staph bacteria,
noted that a mold called Penicillium notatum had contaminated his Petri dishes.
The mold prevented the normal growth of the staphylococci.
Dr. Fleming realized that something in the penicillium mold inhibited the growth
of the bacteria — and even more importantly — that it might also be harnessed
in creating medicines to combat infectious diseases that were killing with a
vengeance.
Similar to Dr. Fleming’s research, Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi is credited with
discovering nattokinase in 1980 while working as a researcher at the University
of Chicago. After testing over 173 natural foods, including different liquors,
Dr. Sumi discovered that the sticky "threads" in natto exhibited potent
fibrinolytic (blood clot busting) activity.
Dr. Sumi showed that when natto was dropped onto a blood clot in a Petri dish at
body temperature, the clot was gone within 18 hours. He named this superpower
fibrinolytic enzyme "nattokinase".
With the discovery of nattokinase, we now have a safe, scientifically-proven and
natural way for millions to combat hardened arteries, heart attack, stroke,
angina, dementia and senility.

Nattokinase Enzyme Shows Promise where Medicine Fails
The human body contains several enzymes that promote the formation of blood
clots, but it produces only one enzyme — plasmin — that dissolves them.
Unfortunately, like many other beneficial enzymes, plasmin diminishes as we grow
older. The properties of nattokinase closely resemble the fibrin dissolving
ability of plasmin.
While modern medicine has come up with several clot-busting drugs — they come
at a very high price. Among them, tissue plasminogen activactors (t-PAs) lead
the pack. Every year, stroke and heart attack victims are administered t-PAs
such as actiase, urokinase and streptokinase.
While these treatments do save between 300,000 - 500,000 lives annually, one
dose of urokinase costs approximately $1,500. Comparatively, CardioEssentials is
ridiculously cheap, with recommended doses ranging from as little as 2,000
fibrin units for a healthy person to 6,000 fibrin units for those at high risk.
Another drawback is the short-lived effectiveness of t-PAs. Urokinase starts to
lose its impact as rapidly as 4-20 minutes after administration, while
CardioEssentials impact may last from 4 to 8 hours.
Since t-PAs are only effective when taken through an IV, they often fail as the
victim’s arteries have already hardened beyond the point where they can be
treated by the dissolving agent. Because it does not act as a t-PA,
CardioEssentials superior advantages include:
convenience of oral administration
prolonged effects
cost effectiveness
is a naturally occurring food that has demonstrated stability in the
gastrointestinal tract
Plus, nattokinase is unique in that it complements the body’s protection against
inadvertent blood clots without impairing your body’s ability to quickly form
clots to prevent bleeding from a cut, and essentially stopping excess blood loss
after a trauma. Pharmaceutical agents inhibit this critical coagulation process
in hopes of preventing a blood clot.
Special Patent Renders CardioEssentials Safe with Coumadin
Vitamin K2 is found in fermented food products like cheese, miso and natto.
Natto contains the highest concentrations of Vitamin K2 known in food.
Significant amounts are produced during the fermentation process.
Vitamin K has been known to reduce the effects of the blood-thinning medication
warfarin (Coumadin), rendering the medication ineffective. With
CardioEssentials, an important manufacturing process was developed to remove
virtually all of the Vitamin K2 - eliminating any potential adverse drug
interactions with warfarin.
Important Precaution: CardioEssentials can significantly restore normal blood
flow that may impact blood pressure functionally in as little as 7- 10 days.
Patients using CardioEssentials while taking blood pressure medicine should have
their blood pressure carefully monitored by a physician so that BP medicine
maybe titrated down or discontinued. It is not a side effect of
CardioEssentials, but a side effect of the blood pressure medicine which can
overmedicate the person after pressure is normalized.
Should You Be Taking CardioEssentials?
Heart disease is the number one killer in the US. If you are challenged with
this issue then taking Cardioessentials makes a lot of sense. Additionally, if
you suffer from one of the following conditions, I urge you to seriously
consider making CardioEssentials a daily part of your health regimen:
You are or have been diagnosed with heart disease, hypertension, angina, or
other cardiovascular problem and are taking any type of heart or blood pressure
medication
You have had a heart attack or stroke
You experience muscle fatigue or pain when you walk short distances
You suffer from muscle aches or "restless legs"
Your memory or intellectual capacity is declining
Your hands and feet frequently fall "asleep" or feel tingly
You have cuts or sores on your feet that won’t heal
Look for continued updates here regarding promising on-going nattokinase
research as it becomes available.
CardioEssentials: the One and Only True Nattokinase
As more promising research about nattokinase surfaces, you can expect the
consumer market to become flooded with products claiming to provide the benefits
of this enzyme.
There is only one nattokinase that has been shown scientifically to be identical
to the nattokinase first discovered and studied by Dr. Sumi. Amino acid sequence
data has shown that Cardioessentials (NSK-SD) has an identical protein structure
to the Dr. Sumi enzyme - all 275 amino acids of both proteins line up exactly.
Don’t be fooled by false claims and lower prices. Several factors are critical
to the effectiveness of nattokinase and should be considered including:
Cardioessentials is a potent nattokinase containing 55 mg (NSK-SD) of natto
extract — 1,100 fibrin units per capsule. Other products typically contain no
more than 50 mg of nattokinase, and no more than 1,000 fibrin units per serving.
While other products may cost less, you’ll need to take 2-3 capsules, up to 3
times a day to get an effective dose of nattokinase - that’s almost 9 capsules
per day! With only 2 Cardioessential capsules daily, you’ll get more nattokinase
potency than most other brands.
Other nattokinase products contain vitamin K, which has been known to interfere
with blood thinners like warfarin (coumadin). Cardioessentials has removed
virtually all of the vitamin K - decreasing potential side effects with these
popular medications.
Plus, CardioEssentials is Non-GMO certified — meaning it contains no
genetically modified organisms. See the Non-GMO Certification.
I urge you to consider these important factors before purchasing nattokinase.

This form of Vitamin K is a new extract of natto that provides the highly
bioavailable form of vitamin K2 as menaquinone MK-7. This exclusive patented
formula of Vitamin K2 is only available on-line here at Mercola.com. You won’t
find it commercially anywhere else on the Internet in the US.
Research shows that vitamin K2 regulates calcium and keeps it in the bones and
out of arteries - protecting against heart attack and osteoporosis at the same
time. It is estimated that 60% of women over the age of 60 suffer from
osteoporosis. Vitamin K2 seems to accommodate the needs of both bones and
arteries.
If you, or your family, have a history of osteoporosis or heart disease, I
strongly advise you to also make vitamin K2 a part of your daily health regimen.
