“Salt is born from the purest parents: The sun and the sea!”

Pythagoras of Samos, (570-495 BC), Ionian Greek philosopher, polymath and founder of the Pythagoreanism.

Varices

Those are common in lower extremities after 50 years of age, and especially so between women.

Surgeons operate and earn a lot of money with this ailment.

They take away the vena saphena magna.

This vessel is in fact used for coronary bypass and if it is absent on both sides, this becomes a head-breaking dilemma for the heart surgeon.

Besides, taking it away does not solve the problem and ochre dermatitis appears even faster.

This one is aching, itching and looks disgracious.

But nobody tells you the reason for this disorder.

Textbooks mention only main features, but etiology remains in shadow for students and practitioners as well.

In my 40years practice as GP and later as radiologist, I was amazed that most deep venous thromboses pass overlooked for all involved physicians.

Of course, it is simple!

If the deep veins are blocked, then blood circulates through the superficial ones.

I discovered also that essential fatty acids (EFA), mostly Omegas 3, 6 and 9, are largely deficient in our nutrition.

Added in sufficiency, they not only prevent appearance of varices, but also are able to reverse those to a big extent.

Krill oil is expensive and takes away from the ocean the main nutriment of whales.

It seems evident to me that you can turn yourself to raw vegetal oils.

Five soupspoons every day added to your food would do the job.

Switch and swap between type and origin!

The main reason for thromboembolic events is a deficit in Vitamin B12.

This one is abundant in our meals but needs the presence of the so-called Intrinsic Factor (IF) to be absorbed by the small bowel.

The IF is secreted by the parietal stomach cells.

Unfortunately, those degenerate with advancing age, most frequent autoimmune disease.

Of course, surgery eliminating the great saphenous vein is not completely devoid of utility, as it orients more blood through deep veins.

Flow there becomes more rapid, stagnation less and blood clots formation is also a bit reduced.
