Pregnancy and APS
I had both of my children before I went raw and both were preemies. I had my daughter 11 years ago at 31 weeks and my son 1-1/2 years ago at 33 weeks. I had a pregnancy before my son, which ended at 15 weeks. I delivered that baby and because there was nothing wrong with the baby on ultrasound the morning of, the docs knew there had to be something wrong with me so they ran bloodwork and found out I had a blood clotting disorder. So with my next pregnancy, under doctors orders, I took a baby aspirin a day and shots of heparin twice a day. Now that I am raw,I would never have wanted to do that. I was wondering if any mom out there has APS or other blooding clotting disorder and had a successful pregnancy RAW or bloodwork not pregnant has returned to normal. I have not had any more bloodwork since being raw so I am not sure what my levels are. I am thinking my days of having any more children are over because I absolutely do not want to take medication again if possible.

Dear Amy,
Cantaloupe Melon and certain Oriental mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, enoki and tree ear, have anticoagulant properties similar to asprin.
Studies have been carried out by Agentinian, Japanese and German researchers.
Refs are:
Atman, R , et al. "Identification of Platelet Inhibitor Present in the Melon (Cucurbitacea Cucumis Melo)" Thrombosis and Haemostatis (1985) 53(3):312-313.
Makheja, A.N., et al "Identification of the Antiplatelet Substance in Chinese Black Tree Fungus" New England Journal of Medicine (1981) 304(3):175
This is also documented in the book 'The Food Pharmacy' by Jean Carper.
Love and peace and best wishes XX.

don't agree with the whole raw food creating a damp environment thing because of the wildly different effects of different raw foods. i've found candida to respond to 100% raw, several different approaches.
