So I just do some very basic health research on my own but I was wondering if any of you know how to increase blood clotting or estradiol in a practical way. It seems for blood clotting you must raise prothrombin factors and maybe some associated special proteins as well?
I obviously know vitamin k family and it’s foods or supplements increase prothrombin factors. But beyond that I’m not exactly sure. Possibly certain PUFAs? I also know to decrease the amount of blood thinning substances like salicylates in foods and basically about everything anti inflammatory like spices and herbs and fruit and some vegetables will likely have blood thinning substances. Even stuff like vitamin d.
I am convinced a lot of my health problems (joint pain, gut problems, tinnitus, and possibly brain fog) are from too many anti inflammatories or blood thinning substances. Anti inflammatories and blood thinners seem to be one in the same as anti inflammatories almost always seem to have the characteristic of thinning the blood, except for possibly vitamin k. They also seem to almost always lower estrogen especially estradiol again except for possibly just vitamin k which seems to lower estrogen and promote clotting.
In regards to vitamin k, it seems as though it can only increase a certain amount of the prothrombin factors 3-5 or so. I was wondering if there are practical ways to increase the others such as certain foods or tips.
Estradiol also seems to increase blood clotting, which I’m sure not everyone would want. This will be useful to know what is proven to raise estradiol though as well just as a way to further hone in on the details of my health besides the fact that it can promote blood clotting.
This can seem anti peat, but I believe it is more of a balance question and I have pushed it way in favor of blood thinning as opposed to blood clotting and I think I run into health problems when I consume more and more anti inflammatory containing substances or foods. I also think you need some of these other blood thinning substances as well or you run into problems that peat describes, my body chemistry just seems extremely sensitive to those right now. I am not a doctor so definitely don’t take it as advice to start looking to increase blood clotting. I’m sure many people don’t need to do that
Thanks for your responses
