About Bodensteiner Medical Research
Bodensteiner Medical Research (BMR) is a research educational organization that studies blood clots.
In the nineteenth century, a pathologist named Dr Rudolph Virchow studied blood clots inside sore legs. He discovered that clots inside the lungs appeared to be the same as clots in the legs. He theorized that pieces of clot broke loose from deep veins in the leg and migrated into circulation. Clots from the leg travel into the heart where they pass through the right ventricle, which pumps soft pieces of clots into the pulmonary artery, which transports them into the lungs, where clots stop.
Dr Virchow called migrating blood clots embolia.
Venous blood clots have a life cycle that starts as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) inside muscles. Next, the cycle continues as venous thromboembolism (VTE) migrate into the heart and pass through the right ventricle. Finally, the cycle finishes as pulmonary embolism (PE) stop inside the lung alveoli.
BMR theorizes the blood clots cause arrhythmias. Specifically, VTE interfere with blood flow through the tricuspid and pulmonary heart valves, which causes premature atrial contractions (PAC) and premature ventricular contractions (PVC).
Thrombodextracardia (VTE inside the right atrium and right ventricle) causes PAC and PVC that alter the electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG), which records the electrical pattern from the heartbeat. BMR postulates that blood flow generates the electric potentials of the EKG of the heartbeat and that the EKG can diagnose blood clots in the heart.
Premature atrial contractions (PAC) represent VTE passing through the tricuspid valve, and premature ventricular contractions (PVC) represent VTE passing through the pulmonary valve.
Moreover, pulmonary valve VTE cause isovolumetric ventricular contractions with skipped heartbeats (pulsus interruptus) as the EKG records PVC and the patient complains of powerful flip flop palpitations.
Blood clots are complicated and thrombophysiology will melt your brain if you think of everything at once. So, take time to see the whole picture, which is the Gestalt, and find joy in your journey as you learn more about palpitations, brain fog, and night sweats that are associated with blood clots.

Thrombophysiology: a logical study of blood clots
Dr Cletus Gary Bodensteiner, aka Dr Bode, is the son of Dr Cletus Harold Bodensteiner who graduated from Loyola University School of Medicine in 1947. Dr Bode 'Junior' graduated from UCLA School of Medicine in 1972, completed anesthesiology training in 1975, and became an assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Wisconsin Hospital, Madison in 1976.
Dr Bode served as Chairman of the Anesthesia Department at St. Michael's Hospital in Stevens Point, WI before he returned to Long Beach, CA where he served as Chairman of the Anesthesia Department at Pacific Hospital. He is married to Cindy Bodensteiner, RN, and they enjoy spending time with four shared children and ten shared grandchildren.
Dr. Bodensteiner was certified in CPR and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and participated in CPR for numerous cardiac arrests. He is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the American Heart Association, and the Heart Rhythm Society.

Cancer and Blood Clots
Dr. Saito aka Dr. Masa specializes in medical oncology and autoimmune diseases. He teaches anti-aging in Japan, the United States, and Europe and is an expert on 5-ALA Hyper thermic Therapy for cancer treatment.
Dr. Masa and Dr. Bode approach human pathophysiology from different directions. Lactic acid appears to be an 'autoimmune' toxin, which might be the natural aseptic cause of the mysterious chronic fatigue syndrome.
Dr. Saito published a popular book Korpertemperatur und Gesundheit, Wie wir durch Erhohung der Korpertemperatur unsere Vitalitat und Gesundheit fordern. 'Raise Your Body Temperature and Improve Your Health'; and he supports our kids project in Fukushima that gives aid to 290 homeless young students. He is a volunteer host of a popular antiaging talk show in Tokyo.

A Novel ECG Interpretation
Dr. McEdwards received his PhD in engineering science from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a certified hydrogeologist and a licensed general engineering contractor.
Dr McEdwards locates groundwater by measuring electric potentials from underground water motion.
In this process, he drives two steel posts five feet deep into the ground about eight feet apart and connects wires from the steel posts to an oscilloscope that measures electric potentials between the posts. A percussion hammer strikes a flat steel plate on the ground between the posts. Sound waves travel through rock and cause water ripples inside hollow rocks that contain water. Rippling water generates about 2 millivolts of electric potential recorded by an oscilloscope, which locates hidden underground water. Solid rock without water does not generate electric potentials and the oscilloscope records a flat line.
Orthodoxy teaches that electrocardiogram (ECG) waves of the heartbeat originate from heart cell action potentials. Millions of ventricular cardiac cells depolarize and generate the QRS wave.
McEdwards uncovered evidence that disputes the ECG orthodoxy taught in medical schools.
Findl and Kurtz published research in 1977 after using left ventricular/aorta mechanical simulators. "EKG like signals were generated by the motion of the electrolyte through the simulators".
If artificial simulators generate ECG waves from the flow of electrolytes, it makes sense that blood flow from the heartbeat generates the waves of the EKG. It seem doubtful that atrial and ventricular cardiac cells depolarize and generate the P and QRS waves. Moreover, it seems very doubtful that ventricular cell repolarizations generate the T wave.
A novel ECG interpretation based on blood flow explains the Q wave caused by inferior MI because the ventricles develop a downward and outward bulging at the apex at the start of systole during isovolumetric contraction. The T wave is generated by blood flow from the contractions of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Pulmonary valve VTE causes stenosis which delays the outflow of blood from the heart, which causes a 'long QT'. "Re-entry circuits" observed inside the left atrium of the heart during paradoxical SVT are easily explained by the retrograde flow of blood during atrial systole. Finally, asystole is an isoelectric flat line that corresponds to fatal acidosis with cessation of all fibrillation.
