Yesterday I posted that A High One-hour After-Meal Blood Sugar Test Can Lead to Several Deadly Conditions. In it, I showed that a blood sugar of more than 154.8 mg/dL or 8.6 mmol/L is highly predictive of the development not only of future type 2 or adult-onset diabetes but also cardiovascular disease and others, including higher all-cause mortality. …

Thoughts on Natto Making, Eating and Clean-up
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…
Parkinsonism resolved by Nattokinase
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…
Nattokinase Degrades Amyloids and Prions
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…
Prostate and Vascular problems relieved with Nattokinase
This article concerns a man with severe prostate pain and leg discoloration whose symptoms were relieved with nattokinase. The Problem A man in his mid-60s had two doses of the Pfizer shot in November 2021. He needed it to travel to attend a wedding. After that, he started to have lower abdominal and prostate pain….
Should you take nattokinase on an empty stomach?
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…
How to stop bleeding if on nattokinase
Nattokinase has anticoagulant properties. If you take nattokinase and have a cut, the bleeding may be more profuse than usual. It is the same as in any other drugs like aspirin or warfarin or newer ones like dabigatran. I have been taking nattokinase 2,000 FU every day since I have been writing about it. One night,…
Natto: An application of the 80-20 Rule
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…
How I Made and Appreciated Natto
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…
Protective Effects of Nattokinase against Strokes
 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 in which the blood and oxygen supply…
High-Dose Nattokinase to Shrink Atherosclerosis and Lower Blood Lipids
A study shows a daily dose of 10,800 FU of nattokinase (NK) to decrease atherosclerotic plaque and lower total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides. Nattokinase is an enzyme derived from natto, a Japanese food from fermented soybeans. Natto has been enjoyed and proven safe for eating for more than a thousand years. FU stands for Fibrin…
Nattokinase is Nontoxic with a High Safety Margin
Two studies showed no safety concerns for nattokinase regarding toxicity and genotoxicity.[1] Nattokinase is derived from natto made from fermented soybeans, a Japanese food. The first was published in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2019. The authors are from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University and Sungen Biotech Company in China. The study was part of the preclinical evaluation…
The Outstanding Vascular Effects and Dose of Nattokinase
This article discusses the many health benefits of Nattokinase and its effective dose based on published research. I noticed that many are reading my nattokinase articles. Nattokinase Degrades the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Another Study shows Nattokinase can Destroy the S1 Spike Protein Nattokinase is Nontoxic with a High Safety Margin The possible reason for the…
Pandemic Lessons and Solutions
This article is a continuation of Dr. Alexandra Henrion Caude’s presentation at the PANDEMIC STRATEGIES, LESSONS, AND CONSEQUENCES in Stockholm, Sweden, on January 21 – 22, 2023. Läkaruppropet, a group of doctors and researchers calling for reducing restrictions and improving the protection of risk groups, made the conference responsible. Yesterday, I published the first part…
Another Study shows Nattokinase can Destroy the S1 Spike Protein
A July 2021 research showed that an extract from natto could prevent COVID-19 infection and destroy the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2.[1] This is the second study that showed that nattokinase effectively degrades the spike proteins. Natto is a Japanese food that is a favorite tradition in Japan. It is made from steamed soybeans fermented…
