 &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; Anyway, These two drugs (or herbs) are Tian Qi and Dan Shen.  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; Tian Qi is army issue in Asia because It will stop bleeding without clotting! Used for bullet wounds by pouring the powder on the open wound. It redirects the blood away from the opening and can even help push the bullet to the surface!  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; It saved my but once when a saw tooth from a spinning saw blade hit me in the forehead like a bullet! It stoped the bleading and pulled the metal tooth out the next day! (I did not know it was still in me!) &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; It does give a very then sort of "clot" at the opining of the wound but it will distribute the blood to where it is needed and brake up stagnation and unnecessary clots where they are not needed! This facor is always dis-belived by BS (Bad Science) Doctors!  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; Now if you need to “thin” the blood and really “tune up the heart” while you are at it, you need Dan Shen! NOT RAT POISION!!!  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt; &lt;font color=#000000&gt; I have loads of info about these two herbs available but room is not at all big enough here.  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=116012" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: A Drug That Quadruples Your Risk of Fatal Bleeding</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/11/12/A-Drug-That-Quadruples-Your-Risk-of-Fatal-Bleeding.aspx#116011</link><pubDate>Fri, 09 Nov 2007 17:49:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:116011</guid><dc:creator>Russ Bianchi</dc:creator><description>If it's from Eli, be assured the 'Lily' is for your premature grave, after taking their brands. &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=116011" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
