Listmates,

I had a doctor suggest to me the other day that, a very low dose of heparin would benefit my mast cell disease, and also my rheumatic pain.  He said he had cured someone of Interstitial Cystitis with low dose heparin.

Does this jibe with the knowledge base here ?  I've tried to Google it, but am not coming up with much.

Thanks in advance,
Todd in Tenn.

P.S.  This is my first post in a while.   Just to let you guys know.  I'm still out here, lurking about !    

Joan,

Thanks for your reply.   The dose was quite low.   Perhaps, the intent was to do some reverse inhibition on the mast cell ?   Like, "Oh look.  There's already some heparin out there.  We must have already degranulated.  Stand down."  

I'm thinking I will not explore this issue at this time.  

Best,
Todd in Tenn.
