Episode 108. Hypercoagulation in Chronic Illness with Dr. Paul Anderson

One Thing with Dr. Adam Rinde

In this episode of The One Thing Podcast, hosted by Dr. Adam Rinde, the focus is on integrative and naturopathic medicine, specifically addressing complex chronic illnesses and cancer care. Dr. Rinde introduces the guest, Dr. Paul Anderson, a leading voice in the field with over 30 years of clinical experience. The episode aims to explore the topic of coagulopathy in chronic disease, discussing its mechanisms, implications, and potential treatments.

Guest Highlights • Dr. Paul Anderson: o Leading voice in integrative and naturopathic medicine. o Specializes in complex chronic illness and cancer care. o Over 30 years of clinical experience. o Led the interventional arm of a US NIH-funded human research trial on IV and integrative therapies for cancer patients. o Founder of Advanced Medical Therapies in Seattle, Washington. o Collaborates with clinics and hospitals worldwide. o Academic contributions include serving as a professor of pharmacology and clinical medicine and as the chief of IV Services for Baer's Oncology Research Center. o Published works include "Outside the Box Cancer Therapies" and "Cancer, the Journey for Diagnosis to Empowerment." o Notable work on intravenous nutrient therapy featured in a scientific reference textbook. Main Topics Covered 1. Mechanisms of Coagulation: o Discussion on the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation. o Role of immune chemicals in triggering clotting. o Impact of chronic illnesses and infections like COVID-19 on coagulation. 2. Coagulopathy in Chronic Disease: o Excessive coagulation in chronic disease states. o Specific conditions discussed include COVID-19, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). o How coagulopathies may hinder patient recovery and the importance of assessing and addressing these issues. 3. Genetic and Environmental Factors: o Influence of genetics on susceptibility to hypercoagulability. o Role of diet, hydration, and lifestyle in managing coagulation issues. o Importance of testing and early detection for prevention and treatment. 4. Treatment Approaches: o Use of supplements like vitamin E, omega oils, and fibrinolytic enzymes (e.g., nattokinase, lumbrokinase). o Potential use of baby aspirin for managing clotting issues. o Importance of a stepwise approach to treatment, starting with lifestyle modifications and progressing to more intensive interventions if necessary. 5. Biofilm and Chronic Infections: o Connection between biofilm formation and chronic infections. o How pathogens use fibrin to form protective biofilms, complicating treatment. o Strategies for breaking down biofilms to improve patient outcomes. 6. Hope and Recovery: o Emphasis on the possibility of recovery from chronic illnesses and coagulopathies. o Importance of finding a supportive healthcare team and utilizing available resources for treatment and management
