- Are BLOOD CLOTS the reason why COVID patients are dying? | Blood thinners to save lives?
I can tell you that the number of clotting problems my colleagues see in the ICU across the country, all related to Covid, is unprecedented. But this isn’t just a bunch of doctors and nurses that I know who are reporting this. For example, a recent Dutch study found that of the 184 patients in the ICU with Covid pneumonia, 20% had clotting issues.
There was also a similar study in Wuhan, China, where 25% of hospitalized COVID patients had clots. So why, and how is SARS-CoV-2, which invades the lungs' cells, specifically type II alveoli, how is it causing blood clots to form in the body? When someone has a severe case of COVID, it causes a ton of inflammation within the lungs. This inflammation is what is triggering the blood clots to develop.

We knew that this happens with ARDS even before COVID came around. In ARDS, these patients usually develop microthrombi, meaning tiny clots that form in the tiny blood vessels in the lungs. And these microthrombi can combine to form bigger thrombi, meaning bigger clots.
This happens at least partly because of the cytokine storm that develops as a result of the infection. Blood clots are also a concern with seriously ill people in general, regardless of their illness. These patients aren’t moving much, if at all, and lack of movement further predisposes one to have clots.
And that’s why when patients are admitted to an intensive care unit, we usually have given them blood thinners unless there is a reason not to; for example, if they have to bleed, we don’t want to give those patients blood thinners. But when we give these blood thinners, we give them in prophylactic doses, meaning the intention is to reduce their risk of developing a clot in the first place.
But these prophylactic doses are considered low doses. And the chances of someone having severe bleeding from these small doses are minimal. But the blood clots with COVID, these are just a whole ‘other beast.
There’s something more going on here. So how, and why is COVID causing more blood clots than usual?
Long story short, the virus enters the alveolar cells in the lungs using the ACE2 receptor, and once it does that, it causes the cell to have fewer ACE2 receptors on its surface. This increases the amount of 3 things within the lungs:
1) inflammation,
2) formation of clots, and
3) constriction of blood vessels going to the lungs, meaning pulmonary vasoconstriction.
And guess what, each of these things by itself can lead to low oxygen levels. So you can imagine what that means when you have all 3 of these things going on simultaneously. This is because the way oxygen gets into our blood from the alveoli has to diffuse to our capillaries.
The cytokine storm causes the destruction of the alveolus and the endothelium, a trigger for clotting. We knew this happened in ARDS even before COVID. But guess what, the virus that causes COVID can actually invade the cells here in the endothelium because these cells have ACE2 receptors as well. And that can cause even more inflammation and more clotting.
And these clots can combine with other clots to form bigger clots and travel to other body parts. And in another published report in the NEJM, 3 patients in the ICU had COVID, and these 3 patients developed blood clots that were significant enough to cause major blockages in blood vessels. These 3 patients were positive for antiphospholipid antibodies. These antibodies are not in the blood of the vast majority of people.
These antiphospholipid antibodies are bad because they attack phospholipid proteins in our body, and if severe enough, they can cause major clots to form in our blood vessels. Anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome is a condition that depends on someone’s genetics. But these antibodies can also arise transiently in patients with critical illnesses and various infections.

Why don’t you recommend ivermectin you should you might be saving lives! There’s going to be a lot of court cases I heard it’s going to be like the Nuremberg trials! Allegedly
Stop vaccination. Ivermectin is the best solution.
I read up on Blood clots a few Days ago, and I must say: Learning about Blood Clots just added more stress to my Mind and life.
Mine too, but at least you know what to do. Take natural blood thiners every day, work out daily, eat healthy, drink 2L of water daily, etc. If you wouldn't know about the cloths, you wouldn't know what to do...
@@tibypyro just curious, what's a natural form of blood thinners?
I swearrrr
And stress - leading to more blood clots
@@snowblo1 Tumeric or check out Boluoke! hope this helps sorry im 6 months late to reply
I’m really interested listening to all topics posted by yourself. I’m 63 years old and always fascinated with mysteries of science. Thank you for your great effort educating the public.
Thank you, the learning never stops!
Yes well said. The good doctor explains clearly and it makes me want to learn more. 🌺 very grateful
@@DoctorMikeHansen I concur 1000% Thank you for bringing the cut aways back, super creative and WE thank you for making it palatable for laymen.
I’m a nurse and I’m learning so much from you. I listen to you every night before bed. Thank you!
Please forgive my grammar policing -- "yourself" is used only to reflect back to the person, i.e. Are you talking to yourself? Do you like yourself? Otherwise the word YOU is correct. Americans are now in the habit of thinking that "yourself" sounds fancy thus correct. Stick to you and to me. Not yourself and myself. It is sounds fancy it is probably WRONG. Stay safe and forgive me if this annoys you.
A month after a mild covid infection my husband passed out on Thanksgiving day. He was rushed via ambulance and diagnosed later that night with a small PE. He stayed in the hospital for two days and was given heparin IV. Discharged on Eliquis. Almost every night he has difficulty taking in air but his blood oxygen level is always around 98. It’s a frustrating situation that we hope will improve at some point soon.
My uncle just left the hospital and survived covid. He just recently went back and now has a blood clot in his lung and in his heart. Please, I know you all don’t know me, but pray for this drug to save his life and not kill him. He is a drafted US Army veteran from the Vietnam War, and I just want him to be okay.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Hello Ashley is your uncle is fine now it happen to my father as well he had clot in his lung plz reply soon thank you
How's your uncle ashley
@@erick7brian he actually passed away in February. But he will forever live on in my memory. Thanks for checking up 💚
@@ashleynicole6869 sorry to hear that, I hope you and your fam are holding up good!
🤔😱🤣 Thank you for taking the time and trouble to explain medical jargon and situations we otherwise would not have understood. And my whole family always look forward to your videos. Take care, stay safe. ♥️
Thankyou for this very informative video, I have been fascinated by this for a while now. I am the supervisor of a very busy hospital lab in NJ and from the get go we have been seeing patients in our ER with very high Fibrinogen and D-Dimer levels. A normal D-Dimer level is 3480 FEU which is literally off the chart. We knew there could be clotting going on and after watching your presentation it all makes sense, Thank you for the awesome info. Now I need to refresh myself on Anti-phospholipid Syndrome. Can't wait to watch more of your videos, keep up the great work.
Can aspirin be used to prevent clots??
My son at age 19 had a DVT, they kept sending him home until I literally refused to take him home until they test him for DVT. D-dimer was positive- ultrasound showed serious clotting. Since they did not know the cause, he was placed on blood thinners for three months, within weeks of going off those he threw a pulmonary embolism- ended up being diagnosed homozygous for Factor Five Leiden and prothrombin mutation. He is now on blood thinners for life. If I had not insisted on him being tested he would probably not be alive today.
Cyndi Crain it might be good to consult a Naturapath.
You did save his life. Same thing happened to me at 16. My pulmonary embolism was massive (5o% in each lung alveoli destruction).
So lucky I survived. Factor V Leiden too.
Glad you were heard and your son is ok. My husband had a bilateral pulmonary embolism almost two years ago, at the age of 35 but doctors never considered making a DNA test. He's in blood thinners for life. This covid-19 has me constantly worried about him.
You are an amazing Mom. You followed your gut instinct & pushed until they listened. Bravo!
@Christmas Lore agree whole heartedly , you saved his life. I too was diagnosed DVT at 35 (Tested and found to have Factor V leiden) blood thinners for 3 months and sent on my way. Took 15 more years before it showed itself again but this time almost killed me (saddle clot on the heart) , now I am on thinners for life.
I was Nurse while you were still in Nappies too..1977-2009
Really enjoy your teachings! Thank you for all the time you must spend doing all the work involved! You’re a true gem!!
what a brilliant young doctor , So well explained and no hint of arrogance in this Doc...... thank you so very very much . Truly appreciated .
Thank you Dr.Hansen . Praying for your safety and well being.
Thank you for this amazing video! This story happened to my stepdad. He was in IC for 15 days with an inflation machine. But after 11 days the doctor couldn't find any improvements. In total of three times he was put into a CT SCAN, later on they found out that he has this blood problems in his lungs. They gave him blood tinners and woke up after two days. Thanks to great health care in the Netherlands
Your broadcasts are of such high quality. Doing a great 👍 job. Thanks for taking the time.
Raw garlic clove every day will help the blood flow. Thankyou x
I like that you don't dumb this down. I'm a retired physician assistant who worked in an anticoagulation clinic for several years. The information you present is fascinating. Thank you.
Thank you for explaining some of the pathology that’s being seen in some of these patients, and being honest about what’s not known.
Another great presentation! Really enjoy to come by and get some infos from publications!
Dr Mike Hansen you are Brilliant and your way of Explaining in Simple English is Great. Keep Up!

Very well explained, Dr Hansen! Thank u for taking time to post these kind of videos because we learn from them.
I'm glad these doctors are uploading these types of videos. It shows the true challenge all these scientists and researchers around the world are facing. It show that we still have a lot to learn with this new virus. It shows that perhaps we should not be opening up everywhere too quickly. It definitely shows that this ain't just a flu.
Thank you!! You and med cram are two forces to be reckoned with here on You Tube. His video today plays nicely along side of yours. It’s been too many years, but it’s always a nice reminder of why I fell in love with physiology. I could listen for hours and hours and never get bored. The human body is amazing!
I’d like to thank you Dr. Hansen for your help understanding this novel virus 🦠 .
Thanks again for great information, I find your videos very informative and obviously enjoy the calmness in your videos.
Thank you for bringing this to attention of healthcare professionals!
Another informative great video Doctor Mike. I think you and colleagues are zeroing in. Our lungs as like big sponges. The Aeolas are the little holes we see in sponge. So the hole are stiff, blocked and saturated with water all of the above. I think doctor mike is onto the not so obvious pneumonia saturate lungs and blocks Aeolo holes. It’s like a the sponge gets stiff in a humidifier with mold and now the holes are working. Great video doctor mike. Getting closer to understand the factors contributing to the blocked lungs.
Well let’s see... I had vaSculis with diffuse aveolar hemorrhaging10 years ago , APS with micro clotting in brain .
then reduced markers which took a few years of healing my intestinal lining, hemo refused to consider lowering warfarin even with the substantial lifestyle and bloodwork changes,
November 2018 brain hemorrhage to vulnerable areas of brain
changed to dalteparin which I still thought too much
March 2019 hemorrhage to same area.
Reduced to 81asa but still not confiable so I now get my salicylates blood level on par with a daily aspirin without the bleeding risk with spices in my diet including a teaspoon of cumin everyday.
Thank you so much for educating us. Take care, be safe.
I hope you are saving all of your video content on other platforms ---- too valuable to lose these.
And thank you for taking the time to educate us.
I would never make it as a doctor, nurse, caregiver, etc., but the functions of the miracle we call the body are fascinating.
Grade school students should be introduced to the body beyond anatomy and nutrition, more in depth classes offered throughout their grade school careers. They c/would then learn to question what standard of care offers them, and how to make wiser decisions when it comes to their health. Nutrition gurus can't deliver the required knowledge of the inter-workings of our marvelous machines. It takes those who have studied and learned outside of memorizing and strictly sticking with what they are taught in med school.
First comment. Love your detailing.
What about sticky blood patients?! Thanks for sharing, it's amazing how much we can learn from younger doctors and knowledge they have these days, thanks again for your precious time. kind regards swift
with an open mind we can learn every day.
Worth the watch..Thanks Dr.Mike for explaning this so well👍
Frontline COVID-19 nurse here, expanding my knowledge. Thank you. Currently overwhelmed by the rise of patients, in south Texas.
It’s been fascinating watching all the research come out on this virus, I’ve had CV19. The paramedics who came out to be due to chest and lung pain and high heart rate told me to watch out for the signs of clots. While it’s possible to monitor legs etc for signs of it, how can a non medical expert self monitor for pulmonary clots. Luckily I’m at week 9 and almost 100% again. I use Tumeric and NAC supplement before coronavirus was even here and Tumeric is a known blood thinner, which I had to stop before spinal surgeries due to the increased risk of bleeding. I’ll be very glad once a well trialled vaccine is in UK. Thank you for sharing more of your expertise. Big respect from England 💙
Have you asked your doctor in the beginning to be treated with Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromicyne + Zinc, or is it prohibited also in England if you're not in a hospital?
claudius Cubitus Hi, they’re not even using it in hospitals in the uk 😳 it’s a rollercoaster ride but I’m on the home run now.
>> I use Tumeric
You are better informed than most doctors: trusting to a science-based solution is always the smartest move.
@@gingerbadjie9670 waw!
@Giant Robot 1967 I have one thank you and a BP monitor. To Dinar and friends I did use Tumeric and cucermin already and it does work as a blood thinner. Thanks guys 💖
This is the only Dr Mike I trust 👍🏻 I've been following his channel, really informative, clear explanation, and always up-to-date. Thank you Dr Mike Handsome... oops I meant Dr Mike Hansen 😂😂😂
What do you have against the other Dr.Mike? Just curious... I honestly like both channels for different reasons
@@vladmordred9627 I was just about to ask the same question. I'm curious what he may have gotten wrong that makes someone not trust him.
I mean I obviously hate him because he's always so happy, smart and handsome but that's just me being jealous. Other than that I think he does his best to be as factual as he can.
I trust this guy and another Doctor Mike.
@Andrew Ongais yes I watch medcram too 👍🏻
Another gorgeous Dr. Mike. 😓 I'm ok with this.
Thank you Dr Mike = I was looking for more H to L lung type comparison information for a few weeks. Should have checked here sooner !
thanks Mike....take care
Wow! Timely, detailed, and great. As a researcher in a non-medical field it is easy to see where to focus. If I had the background I would be investigating. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. I understand the most pressing issues are treatments, but where can we find more about vaccine development and testing? Bless you my friend.
Check out scishow and asap science. One of them has a very in depth video on vaccines and their development
My friend had massive blood clots in the lung and breathing had been difficult for two months, which she traced back to the vaccine,
Which you didn’t mention.
I hope he makes an update.. I noticed this was from 2 yrs ago
Maybe he didn't know your friend. Even if he did, mentioning your friend would be against Hipaa. How did she trace it back? What tests did she do? What medical training does she have?
Excellent lecture. Thank you. Peter
Thank you very much Dr. Mike for all that intense information on that deadly killer.
God bless you and your team 🙏🙏 !!
As much as I hate to hear, "We don't know." Hearing, "We don't know" here means something more
Only intelligent people are humble enough to say "I don't know".
When you hear a whole lot of facts and a really comprehensive review of what is known and an occasional "we don't know," listen to that person. They're trying to tell you what the extent of their knowledge is and trying to be transparent and honest about it.
Anti Dictator Agreed. But I’m tempted to modify that a bit and say that only
intelligent, humble people are honest and ethical enough to say “I don’t know.” There’s no shortage of brilliant, arrogant humans out there who would never utter those words. Most of us know plenty of them. Thankfully Dr. Hansen is not among that lot..
your intuition is correct. Its completely manipulated co factors that would never mathematically or in nature co mingle. It isn't a mater of could it happen but when sick people would be given enough power to make it happen. Ask bill gates he made it. think VACCINES$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Very interesting! Thank you Dr Hansen! I personally thought that thromboprophylaxis that's usually given to immobile hospitalized patients would be enough to prevent blood clots in a COVID-19 context. Thanks for the clarification!
I'm pretty sure that this risk is even greater for COVID-19 patients with several VTE risk factors: age > 70, previous VTE, immobility for 3 days or more, active cancer, known thrombophilia, sepsis, acute inflammatory conditions, acute infectious disease, recent surgery or trauma < 1 month, obesity (BMI>30), hormone therapy and respiratory or cardiac failure.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I have CTEPH and your videos are bearing out my concern about being exceedingly careful right now. Very scary for those of us who have PH already and I am thankful for my pulmonology team at UWMC. You are a hero.
How are you doing? I have doctor suspecting the same thing. Did you get treated with anything?
@@therealdeal894 I am doing pretty good! Thank you for asking. I have been fortunate to avoid Covid mostly by staying away from people.
I was diagnosed with CTEPH 5 years ago and had PTE surgery 9/05/17. I have been on blood thinners since my diagnosis and we have tried a couple of other PH meds with some positive results. I have also had 2 BPA's.

My friends mom just got over covid 19 about a month ago and is in the hospital right now in a coma for the last 2 days from pulmonary embolism coincidence? hopefully she makes it. Thanks for this vid
I love how well you put deeply technical subjects in explanations we can understand, and that you have no visible agenda beyond public health.
I also appreciate it when you explain "we don't know." That seems to be a hallmark of this virus: so very much we don't know after worldwide focus for half a year. We don't know if antibodies confer immunity (or even resistance), which is crucial to the feasibility of a vaccine. We don't know the prevalence of asymptomatic infections. Perhaps most important of all the unknowns: we don't know why some people have no symptoms at all, why some have symptoms ranging from mild to severe, and why some cannot be saved.
I think our popular name for the virus should be Interesting Times. I hope we do not live in interesting times too much longer.
Thank you. Yeah, some things we know, some things we think we know, and some things we just don't know. :)
@@DoctorMikeHansen When I worked in communications networks in an electric utility, I gained part of my reputation by hunting down things others couldn't figure out. It was almost always the result of one of those things we thought we knew but we didn't.
I really appreciate your videos. Very honest and educational. Love the humour also.
Thank you very much for sharing!!!
I wish this guy was my doctor!
Take a number LOL.
He's a pulmonary doctors so you'd only be your doctor if you had a serious problem to begin with

Love that you have a shout out to Dr House!!
“Look at all that crap fillin tha lungs”
Dr Mike Letting Loose 😂
Doctors must NOT leak out classified medical data.
I find his videos informative, but it does stand out to me when I listen, how unprofessional his language is at times. Swearing, called lung matter 'crap.' This is not how any professional medical MD would describe or present findings to their patient here in Boston. 😬
@@solapowsj25 oi??? lol
@@paulamary004 If he used medical terms, nobody would understand, except of course, a doctor.
@@paulamary004 but....doctors do - often - talk like that in real life....and he's not presenting To a patient, he's educating generally. It does paint a picture - it's certainly not nice and tidy, and it's certainly an up close and personal illness. If it helps the average person understand - Excellent! He includes a good deal of detail, with proper terminology, so I can deal with any 'crap' peppered in.
I had 2 blood clots in my right leg several years ago, I thought it was a "Charlie horse" for a couple days, 5 actually and I continued to work until the swelling and heat began. They checked me for everything, factor 5, ect. There was no explanation as to why still. It worries me to this day, as does hearing this.
have they ever checked for May Thurner Syndrome?
Did i learn,thank you Dr. Just so well explained. Cheers
I am grateful for the health I have had this life. I have health issues, but I'm still walking around and doing things.
Thank you for doing these videos! Very informative. I work in a covid ICU and the patients who are on heparin drips do better than those not on a drip. The patients weren't put on heparin drips for covid19, however, they both had afib with rvr. I just noticed that we were able to wean down their FIO2 and pressors. Would be interested in seeing more studies about this
What would be even more interesting is if people would not take these deadly vaccines in the first place! 🤔
I prefer this Mike than the other Mike, the UA-camr. That one has too much UA-cam influencer personality written all over him that makes it feel disingenuous and pandering. This man is delivering more info than any members of the GIN
Ricky Deleon I think there both interesting and full of great information
i agree. I wish the other mike is more down to earth like this mike.
Thanks for the detailed info, Great love the presentation.
Thank you. Very interesting, informative, and very well explained.
I'm really frightened over this covid virus :'(.
Take Vitamin D - its Very Important To Fight Virus. You can also get Vit. D in The sun 10 mins. It will absorb in your skin. Also, if You get Virus, Don’t Lay Flat all Day, as virus will go To The back of The Lungs. Drink Tonic Water or eat Grapefruit (Both contain Quinine)
Only Knowledge, followed by turning what Scientist and Researchers have learned through Testing into Certified Solutions, will take what They have learned and act on it by isolating the Virus first, studying it to find out how it works at destroying both Humans and Animals alike, then coming up with Solutions in a number of forms. That's important to state right here, because Scientist and Researchers know now that 'Covid-19' reacts differently inside every Person that it infects. For that reason, They have to have Customized Treatments for Destroying this Disease from each Patient's Body safely and successfully. So, until that time, and in addition to what other other UA-cam* Commentors have stated here, You can arm Yourself even more against this Disease by (1): using a Medical-Grade U.V.C. Light which is known to destroy all Viruses that it comes into contact with, including 'Covid-19'. The catch: It's so powerful, that You will have to leave the Room for Sterilization for at least 30 Minutes before You re-enter it. Then Your Room will be completely Sterilized to Hospital-Grade Status. You can research Them on either The Web or UA-cam* for Manufacturers to buy these from. (2): You can ward off Viruses out in Public by rubbing Your Hands with Pure Copper, which is known to kill all forms of Bacteria and Viruses within minutes upon contact. Look it up Online. and You will find out that Pure Copper has been used since Egyptian Times to purify Containers transporting Water from Rivers and Cups for Egyptian Royalty. Even back then, They knew about Pure Copper's Disinfecting Qualities! I have found one source for Pure Copper that looks legit, especially when I found out that the Founder suffered from a couple of Staph Infections while She was in the Hospital for an Operation! She decided after leaving the Hospital that She would do research on the best ways to destroy Viruses Naturally, and She found out that using Pure Copper was the Safest, the most Time-Honored and, most importantly, Medically-Certified way known to destroy any Bacteria and Viruses Naturally that We could come in direct contact with. You can check out the Website by the Lady mentioned above, called 'StayWellCopper.com', where I found numerous pieces of Pure Copper Products to use for disinfecting objects like Your Cell Phone, Wallet, Purse, hanging around Your Neck, Belt or Backpack/Luggage so that You can use it wherever You go. Hope this helps!
Handsome doctor!
I'm sure you can cure your patients just by looking at them😊
Hahahaha
That, as well as give them his special “injection,” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Huh? Weird!
Thank you Doctor, it is wonderful explanation. Your video is informative as yet keep it interesting.
Thank you---information removes fear!
I suspect this may have happened to one of the patients I took care of... This video & *Medcram's Covid19 #61 video,* go over the clotting complications of this terrible disease.
This virus is a monster! I'm no conspiracy theorist, But the coincidences and the backstory of this virus are disheartening...
What is your speciality?
ricky w. As a recovered patient who avoided hospital in England, I agree. This virus is a rollercoaster ride you don’t want to get on.
The virus isn't causing these people's blood to clot: it's their own immune systems over-reacting to the foreign protein.
@@geromlili4519 I'm float, But recently I've only been on IMCU
You are a conspiracy theorist. We all are. Everyone besides the bankers. Dont hate the players, hate the game.
So what would be the pros/cons of giving low dose blood thinner with Covid 19 patients?
Hi dr Hansen thanks for ur detailed information.
Thank You for the information
I wonder if consuming turmeric or ginger regularly will prevent blood clots.
If people carried around cayenne paper... it would eliminate 80% of heart attacks. Just take a bit under the tongue.
how about aspirin, its a blood thinner and also a anti inflammatory.
Traditional Chinese Medicine includes acupuncture and herbal formulas, which target inflammation and cytokines. We need to integrate TCM in this country as Western Medicine simply ain't enough!
Wow!..this is all making so much sense now...thanks for that.
Thank you for educating us and the many topics that relate to COVID 19 and other health issues. I’m always interested to know what is happens to our bodies when they have been attacked by diseases and medical conditions and you explain things in a way that I’m able to understand and put in practice. Thank you!!
I had two hip joints replaced recently, so my blood iron levels were low due to the two operations. Therefore I took iron supplements (Fe 50 mg). When I heard about the blood clot problem I stopped at once to take it. Shouldn't people be warned about iron supplements, because they make blood clotting worse?
Well. Iron doesnt make your blood abnormaly thicker. But anemia and low oxygen level are very bad combination. You should have proper amount ofbred bloods before you get covid 🤷♂️
Why do you think iron clots your blood? I have a clotting disorder and take iron.
Just eat a little beef liver once a week.
Iron supplements throw off the Cu / Fe balance And they're constipating, resulting in auto toxicity.
@@susie2251 Because iron is what your body needs in order to produce new red blood cells. My body already makes extra red blood cells due to a heart condition I have. It tries to make more RBC (red blood cells) because I don't get that much oxygen they way my mixed up system runs. So, my cardiologist told me to be careful about taking any kind of vitamin or supplement that has a lot of iron in it. My blood is by it's nature already thick because of the extra RBC it makes, so my doctor said my body doesn't need any help making more with more iron in my system. He doesn't want my body developing clots due to too many RBC. He also told me to stay hydrated as water helps blood stay thinner. If you are dehydrated your blood thickens up.
@Salim Sivaad Correct, if you have a deficiency, you need to bring your red blood cells up to a normal level. Taking iron helps this.
I was saying, if you are already at a normal level or above normal level for red blood cells as I am, taking iron can increase the production your bone marrow does to make more red blood cells than you need. If that happens, your blood can become too thick with them which can cause problems.

@@MR..181 I am not sure if aspirin is good, as it acts in a way like iboprofen. Yet, I don't think low dose aspirin would cause kidney failure. Anyhow, children shouldn't take aspirin. Google horsetail for inflamation and that c storm, I found a study and it is good, yet, I also don't know if it also acts on some receptors like the ibuprofen. Me, I started to take aspirin because I do have pains in my legs. I don't know if I had the virus, I was not well for like 10 days. I took efervescent vitamin c 1000 x 2, 2 times per day, I take one per day now, took and take it combined with grapes seed extract which is supossed to enhance the eficacity of vit c. I also took around 4000 vit D per day, now I stay in the sun as on the beach. And horsetail, 4 little bags of herb for one cup, 3 cups at least when I felt bad. I felt it helped, but I am not sure how it was different from other anti inflammatory drugs, it's just I feared to take aspirin, didn't know about cloths, didn't think it can act as other antiinflamatories and had had good experience with this herb infusion since 20, 25 five years back. I also did lung exercises for expanding their capacity and tried to be active and not lie on my back.
Bayer Aspirin is the ONLY proven safe drug in existence. I pop a Walmart Equate 250mg with breakfast. 81 mg is the maximum analgesic effect but a generic 250 is cheap. Take with food. Acetaminophen will kill your liver and ibuprofen is...great for my sore back.

Excellent video by Dr. Hansen which should be seen by doctors around the world. Thanks for sharing it!!!
Thanks doc. Great info.
325 aspirin. God i love 1000mg of Aspirin & 20mg Adderall before 18 holes
Do people with Thrombocytosis (extreme high platelet count) have an even higher risk to have these severe complications?
Interesting question. I would assume yes 😳
I am interested as well as one of my younger sisters has essential thrombycytosis. She had a burst clot at the base of her skull about 9 years ago and the ET was diagnosed.
You are so genius doctor You explain well without pause
Very informative & easy to understand. Definitely sharing. Thank you!
Hey doc, how about taking an aspirin a day? Years ago we were being told to do that to prevent strokes. That was not just for old folks but for most of us. Can i get and answer?
Can someone else who knows more about this comment about this?
I take cardioaspirin 0.1g, anti inflammatory diet, physical activity, sit not too long
P T
Sure!
great idea
I’ve read to avoid aspirin in regards to CV19. I think like NSAIDS it can set off cytokine storm after virus sets in. It’s a theory. Curcurmin or Turmeric is natural and may act as blood thinner. Fact check me on this.
How might a COVID 19 patient be treated in ICU if he's already on Eliquis long-term for previous clots requiring surgery, and who has a genetic clotting factor?
Just stop taking the eliquis: it's got a very short half-life.
This is why we tell all treating doctors which medications we are on. *They* will either work around it, or temporarily discontinue.
@@DinarAndFriends Yes, Eliquis is taken every 12 hours, but works very well for him. I wonder if it might counteract infection-related clots as well.
@@kimberlygabaldon3260 Maintaining Eliquis might help counteract the COVID 19 clotting, no?
Thank you for this information Doctor, very interesting.
Thank you Dr Mike!
I'm curious if someone on warfarin for clotting disorders is less likely to get these clots because of the warfarin or more likely to get them because they're already prone to clotting.
Same question❓
Not a Dr but because of a mechanical heart valve installed 10 years ago I have been on warfarin in ever since. I know my Dr want my INR level artificially high (higher number less clotting factor) because more of a chance of blood clotting on my valve then breaking off into my blood stream. I believe that I would benefit from this but maybe someone that takes warfarin to achieve normal INR would not see a benefit. INR is International Normalize Ratio, 1.0 is normal, my Dr wants me between 2.5 and 3.0. I have to get my blood tested for this every 3 to 4 weeks.
The studies said that even people anticoagulated were throwing clots with Covid. Warfarin did a little better than second generation anticoagulants like Xarelto, but not much. Even patients in the hospital fully anticoagulated on heparin are getting clots when infected with Covid.
If you have a clotting disorder and are staying home to ride a Covid infection out, I would consider getting a Lovenox prescription and using that during the course of your illness. That’s what I am doing. My doctor gave me a Lovenox script just in case. But I would head to the hospital a lot earlier than other patients. As the doctor said in the video, the Covid blood clots are a whole other beast.
"Mysterious desease" you said, I would add Hoorrible desease!! Saludos
Thank you. S. Curtis Caskey CRT.
Great discussion. Did not understand the complex biochemistry but I get the idea. Your a smart Dr.
This is a strange disease, indeed. Thank you for your great pathophysiology lessons. I am a retired pharmacist(thank the Good Lord). In times of old, we had no knowledge of the genetics involved or had of the mechanisms. Medicine never gets boring and each patient is a different microcosm. Perhaps, this will be the end of "one size fits all" medicine!!
actually, i think they are fast tracking a vaccine that will be obligatory for the entire world to take. one size fits all nightmare.
@@jennifs6868 YES, that's why many of us call it "Co-Vid 1984."
@@susanvaughan4210 how apropos! I wish this were not the case, but it looks like we will be in for big losses in medical freedom. Bill Gates, master of the known world= wrong guy for the job, and we are doomed.
I hope not. In 1976, US President Ford expedited a vaccine for an expected flu pandemic that didn’t materialize. But 40 million Americans were vaccinated as a precaution. More than 500 people are thought to have developed Guillain-Barre syndrome after receiving the vaccine and 25 died.
It's all about anti-inflammatories
Thank you Sir!
You ROCK Dr Mike!!! Thank you for this information!!!!!!!! SO valuable. Keep shining & keep em coming. Praise God you tell us the truth and no hokey-pokey❣🤩
Good news today from my Parish (County)...NO covid deaths today.
then how about those patients under intubation where they are in "coma" dependent on ventilator, thus they can't move.
do they experience blood clot too?
The ventilators we're killing them.
yes the clots are in the lungs and legs causing less oxygen and loss of blood pressure inducing a coma
Thank you.
Thank you very much😀
Great video and very informative. Thank you

I am homozygous for Factor V Leiden with a history of unprovoked pulmonary embolism and on lifelong anti coagulation therapy. I have found the COVID19 clotting tendencies very interesting. I have not yet gotten the virus, but I’m very curious to see how the clotting issues being seen are handled with patients who already have a clotting disorder.
The Blind Mom Next Door thought the leiden stuff was just to sell high priced drugs for kickback or commission.? After refusing multiple heart bypass surgury for 11 years and having a azotemic stroke from a new prescription...
Bloodthinners (what about more water?) + Hydroxychloroquine (alternatively Quinine via natural things) + Zinc?
yeah, some might need less H2O restricting huh ... what labs could they use to try and predetermine that?
10:30 The endothelial damage may be caused by excess superoxide formation subsequent to loss of ACE II. High dose antioxidants (Vitamin C, E) may help to scavenge excess superoxide and limit endothelial damage.
Thank you Dr Hansen very helpful information
