[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 14881, member: 13"] I started using it to help with venous insufficiency which was most likely caused by the clots I suffered from back in 2012. I did my own research. Don't know if it's helping or not. I also use the fibrin enzymes (nattokinase, lumbrokinase, serrapeptase, etc.). Thus far, there is no solid confirmation that I have a familial thrombophilia, just two episodes of unknown cause which I detailed in my original post of this thread. The only markers out of the myriad of tests I have done since 2012 showed an elevation in Factor VIII and von Willebrand, both of which can be from inflammation and are not necessarily of genetic origin since they are both acute phase reactants. Interestingly, since stopping synthetic T3, my levels have been in in normal range. Too much thyroid hormone can cause blood clots by activation of the coagulation cascade. I started T3 monotherapy in 2010. I had my first clot in 2012. There is no family history of any clotting disorders on either side of my family. For Factor VIII to considered a familial clotting disorder, the elevation has to be consistent. It will take more time and repeat testing and second and third opinions from expert hematologists to feel more confident that the increases in these markers that may have been the cause of my clots and were acute phase and not genetic. If so, then TRT would not be contraindicated. That is what I hope for. [/QUOTE]
