COVID-19 caused thrombosis in half of the people it infected. This high percentage represents a further complication in the effects of the coronavirus in people, which leads Dr. Casoni to ask for the prevention of this disease with anticoagulant drugs and also with a healthy diet and healthy behaviors.

Marbella, February 24, 2021 – Dr. Paolo Casoni advocates thrombosis prevention as a way to eliminate a mortality risk factor caused by COVID-19. The Italian doctor, who visits the Ceram hospital in Marbella once a month, draws attention to the efficacy of anticoagulants “including coronavirus patients”, so much so that their use is “almost essential” to reduce the likelihood of death.

The “virus” manifests itself, “contrary to what was believed”, with systemic effects and with the risk of arterial and venous thrombi “in vessels of all sizes”, explains Casoni. However, the cardiovascular surgery specialist warns that “the way the blood clots appear is disconcerting.” What appears to be clearer, based on the evidence, is that COVID-19 “isn’t just a respiratory disease.”

The “strange relationship” between COVID-19 and thrombosis “could be due to the virus attacking endothelial cells” that are responsible for lining blood vessels, Casoni says.

The doctor observed that the mortality rate decreases in the cases of patients assisted with mechanical ventilation who were administered anticoagulants. The key is, Casoni adds, in knowing the exact appropriate dose, but everything indicates that “the more you give, the more effective it is”.

To avoid blood clots it is advisable, explains Casoni, to maintain constant physical activity, control body weight, increase the consumption of onion, turmeric, ginger, chilli, almonds, sunflower oil, cereals, garlic, grape seed extract. , pineapple, mushroom fish, eggs, milk, citrus, spinach, do not smoke and check blood pressure and blood sugar.
