I am not sure what natural supplement you are looking into from this article. I wasn't able to find it. I found it very interesting and a bit scary due to the fact that I was in the hight risk area.
I actually am using a natural supplement to dissolve the fibrin. The base of the supplement is made from earthworm spit and it is amazing. It is able to dissolve the clots with no side effects.
Here are my levels to show you how it has worked for me: Fibrin monomer- positive
Prothrombin fragment 1.2 reference range 41-372 my level 5660
thrombin-antithrombin reference range <4 my range >60
I was able to bring my levels done to normal reference range within 6 months.
Being on the very high end of the danger zone my dr. didn't want to give me heparin because of all the side effects.
He explained that earthworms could move through the earth with just using their spit to dissolve the earth.
It was studied years ago if earthworms can dissolve the earth with their spit maybe they can dissolve blood clots. It is amazing stuff and the fact that it is natural is always a plus..

My llmd was the one who orderd the test. He saw something earlier on in my blood that made a flag go up.
Luckily he was able to catch it before something seriously went wrong.
The problem with a lot of the tests that he has ordered is the labs have no idea about them.

Funny you mention a low ESR which I have...I just blows my mind that NO ONE picks up on the normal is 0-15 I think or 1-15 mine is 2.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO FIT THE PIECES TOGETHER...This is why I look for other LLMD's that may understand these things and how they fit into my picture....

I take nattokinase. Nattokinase is fibrinolytic.
It has a good reputation for preventing blood clots among some people prone to blood clots. Last i heard it wasn't medically proven,; but my information is not current. I heard that it can clean out the arteries too.
Some brands are better or worse than others; you have to be careful. NSK-SD is more reliable than NSK; NSK-SD means they are making it following the Japanese patent. (i think). Cheap brands may not be potent.
I don't know if this is true, but on one herbal website i think i read that Andrographis is thrombolytic and thrombinolytic.
Someone is taking Plavix to lower platelet count. I found that EGCG (green tea extract) pills lowered my platelet counts reliably. I could predict my platelet counts by whether i had been taking more or less EGCG pills. A moderate effect though; the drug is prbably stronger.
