Thanks to you both.

Yes, I have been diagnosed already. And I also have a nursing degree (not working as a nurse anymore since I turned my back to the American Disease System a few years ago)

Chris, thanks so much for your answer. I believed what you say, but I wanted reassurance - should confess I am a little emotional when health problems concern me or my loved ones. Water Fasting is something they don' talk about in regular schools.

Actualhealth, I really appreciate your concern. I know your advise is honest and coming from your heart.

There are no medications to dissolve a blood clot. The existing drugs will only keep my blood thin enough while my body does the job itself... That is what Water Fasting will do for me any way. And it will not only do that. There are other benefits we can get from water fasting.

Fasting may be even safer than the existing drugs whose levels in my blood would need to be monitored every few days. Not to mention the dangerous side effects nor the risk to hemorrhage.

I am not really fasting at this moment. I have been "holding" and preparing my mind for it during the last couple days.

By the way, most medical doctors are so 'IRRESPONSIBLE", with a few exceptions. They are trained to feel their word is the word of God... so arrogant. I have been an involuntary witness of their typical arrogance. Their irresponsibility is of the worst kind, without ACCOUNTABILITY. I could talk about this for hours, and give you many examples. I could offer the names of people I met who died under the care of these "godly" and unaccountable modern day prophets (I used to work in Oncology) But it is hard for me to do so; that is why I left the field.

But I am really grateful. There is nothing like honesty. This forum offers that, honesty. I can always use my own mind at deciding what to do at the end.

I'll start my Water Fast tomorrow, Saturday, August 21st.

sorry, didn't notice chris had already replied. the reason for my concern was that in the case of a clot that has 'already formed' i'd be concerned that fasting might cause it to break away from the wall of the vein and travel to the lung 'before' the fasting body has consumed it, even though fasting can have the beneficial effect of stopping them from forming in the future.
