WHAT IS DVT?
Deep Vein Thrombosis strikes down both the physically fit and those in poor shape, males and females, and the young and the old. At least one DVT sufferer in ten dies. There are no authoritative statistics on how many air airline passengers die from DVT every year.
DVT ALMOST KILLED ME
When I was in my early twenties, I nearly died from DVT. It started with an injury to my lower leg as I was boarding an airplane, then my leg swelled up, and a few weeks later I would have died had I not arrived at the ER in time.
This is what's scary about DVT. The blood clot went through my heart and entered my lung (pulmonary embolism) many weeks after flying.
Through this experience and ongoing research, I have developed preventative steps that air travelers can use to reduce their risks of developing deep vein thrombosis.
These natural healing protocols are what I used during the two decades that I continued to work as a flight attendant AFTER my DVT incident, and what I continue to use today to prevent another occurrence of DVT.
