Elliot- I can't yet find the study I read originally that made claims
that people on anti-coagulant medicine had a low rate of cancer
metastasis, this is one I came up with on google-
http://psa-rising.com/medicalpike/acoag/heparin-ucsd-0313001.html
"Our findings show that the anti-metastatic effect of heparin is not
due to its ability to prevent blood clotting, as was previously
thought, but rather its blockage of early tumor-platelet interactions
in the bloodstream," said Borsig. "Oral anticoagulants work by a
completely different mechanism and do not block these interactions."
When cancer cells break away from the original tumor and enter the
bloodstream they attract platelets, which bind to sugarcoated molecules
called mucins on the cancer cell surface, forming a cloak. This
platelet cloak appears to protect the tumor cells from the body's
natural defense systems, enabling them to establish new tumors in other
parts of the body. Heparin interferes with formation of the platelet
cloak, apparently leaving tumor cells exposed to attack by white blood
cells.
Experimental mice received a single dose of heparin, which lasted for
only a few hours, yet this early exposure resulted in markedly reduced
cancer cell survival and metastasis when the mice were examined several
weeks later."
Googling "metastasis fibrin blood thinner" gets lots of good info,
here's one-
http://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/cancer/hep_4/
"The possible reasons for this are not completely understood. To put
them as simply as possible, cancerous tumors are usually surrounded by
a substance called fibrin. Fibrin promotes the growth of the tumor and
the growth of new blood vessels that supply the tumor with necessary
nutrients. Heparin interferes with fibrin formation and perhaps
directly inhibits the formation of new blood vessels. Both heparin and
LMWH may also inhibit tumor growth in other ways.14,15,16"
About bromelain as a proteolytic enzyme-
http://www.organicfoodee.com/vms/bromelain.html
"ANTI-INFLAMMATORY - Bromelain is helpful in healing injuries,
particularly sprains and strains, bruising, muscle injuries, and the
pain, swelling, and tenderness that accompany sports injuries.
Bromelain has also been found to dramatically reduce postoperative
swelling in controlled human research. Much of bromelain's
anti-swelling effect is due to activating compounds that break down
fibrin. Fibrin forms a matrix that walls off the area of inflammation,
resulting in blockage of blood vessels, inadequate tissue drainage, and
edema."
Very interesting.
