  1. Hi,
    Does anybody knows about therapy by leeches (hirudo therapy) available in
    Toronto?
    Does anybody knows creams,ointments etc. containing the biologically active
    substance from leeches available in Canada. Such creams are believed to be
    very effective for "spider" vein treatment. I found out that in Europe it is
    well known and practiced approach for many health issues, but so far no luck
    for information in Canada/Toronto

    Live leeches are used by surgeons to help healing of certain
    wounds, such as re-attached ears and fingers.

    The leech ingretdient, hirudin, is an anti-coagulant.

    I was unable to fine a reference to it being udsed for spidre
    veins. An anticoagulant would be unlikely to help them, even if
    it could pass through the skin.

    Do not pay any attention to "no way", as he/she is totally uninformed about
    health and treatments.
    You may have to go to Europe for treatment though.
    Best luck, mdd
