Yesterday, I had a migraine with an aura attack. Typically, it is caused by high levels of tyramine in foods. The aura in this type of migraine consists of distortions in the field of vision. In my case, I saw a shimmering light on the lateral part of my left eye. It, of course, interferes…
This article contains suggestions on making natto. Natto is traditionally made from fermented soybeans cultured with the Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. Natto is the source of nattokinase which has many health benefits. Insulin Resistance and Atherosclerosis and the Nattokinase Solution The Outstanding Vascular Effects and Dose of Nattokinase Another Study shows Nattokinase can Destroy the S1…
Recently, I published Prostate and Vascular problems relieved with Nattokinase. In it, I described a case of a man in his mid-60s whose symptoms of long-standing prostate pain and vascular problems in the legs improved after one month of a nattokinase and serratiopeptidase combination. His doctors are at a loss on what is happening with…
This article discusses the research that showed that nattokinase could dissolve amyloids and prion proteins. What are Amyloids and Prions? Both are abnormal proteins because they are misfolded. Proteins in the different parts of the body serve many functions. Proteins can be structural (bone), related to movement (muscles), and protection (skin). Proteins are also found…
Can nattokinase survive the acidity of the stomach? Is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract? Can you cook natto and retain the health benefits of nattokinase? To answer that, we look at studies showing gastrointestinal absorption, optimum pH, and temperatures to retain nattokinase activity. But before that, in case you are new here, I wrote about…
The 80-20 rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, says that 80% of outcomes or outputs result from 20% of all causes for any given event. The ratio does not have to be 80-20 all the time. Essentially, it says that a massive amount of results can happen from a small amount of effort. Regarding…
This article discusses how I made my first batch of natto. I figured that with all the health benefits I learned about natto and nattokinase, I would be crazy not to take it. I don’t know any store or restaurant that sells it around my area, so I decided to make my own. It was…
This article discusses how nattokinase can protect the brain from the destructive effects of strokes. Nattokinase (NK) is an enzyme derived from natto, a fermented Japanese food. It has been consumed for over a thousand years. Stroke Strokes or ischemic cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) cause cerebral ischemia. A condition where blood and oxygen supply to the…
