re frequent nosebleeds in article apr freenet carleton ca ab freenet carleton ca robert allison writes does anyone know of any method to reduce this frequency my younger brothers each tried a skin transplant thigh to nose lining but their nosebleeds soon returned i ve seen a reference to an herb called rutin that is supposed to help and i d like to hear of experiences with it or other techniques rutin is a bioflavonoid compounds found among other places in the rinds of citrus fruits these have been popular especially in europe to treat capillary fragility and seemingly in even more extreme cases a few months ago a friend was visiting from italy and he said that he d had hemorrhoids but his pharmacist friend sold him some pills incredulously i asked to look at them and sure enough these contained rutin as the active ingredient i probably destroyed the placebo effect from my skeptical sputtering i have no idea how he s doing hemorrhoid wise these days the studies which attempted to look at the effect of these compounds in human disease and nutrition were never very well controlled so the reports of positive results with them is mostly anecdotal this stuff is pretty much non toxic and probably inexpensive so there s little risk of trying it but i wouldn t expect much of a result steve dyer dyer ursa major spdcc com aka ima harvard rayssd linus m c spdcc dyer
