Re: Is a water fast capable of dissolving pulmonary embolisms?

The simple answer is yes it will.

Dr J Fuhrman MD...............
"It is reported that fasting thins the blood and prevents blood clots, or thrombi. Platelets do not clot as easily during fasting, and the ability of the red blood cells to clump together is diminished. Therefore, the fast quickly lowers an individual’s risk of a heart attack".
"fasting also removes and softens the cholesterol plaque that lines the blood vessels".

In other words any thrombi or blood clots can and will be dissolved through water-only-fasting via autolysis.
There should therefore be no apprehensions about fasting with blood clots, but only real benefits in their removal.

Fasting will usually increase "fibrinolysis" (the process wherein a fibrin clot, the product of coagulation, is broken down) and which accounts for the dramatic improvement seen when patients suffering from thrombophlebitis fast on water only.

In fact there should be far less fear of thrombi (and therefore Myocardial Infarctions) while fasting than while eating.
