 One doctor examined her patient's live red blood cells using dark-field microscopy before and after the patient used EFT. The doctor was worried about the degree of clumping found in the patient's blood sample, since when red blood cells clump together, they present less surface area to absorb oxygen from the lungs and distribute it throughout the body An even distribution of red blood cells indicates a healthy ability for oxygen absorption, while clumping indicates decreased oxygen distribution. |

 Blood sedimentation rates, or sed rates, are lab tests that gauge how fast red blood cells fall to the bottom of a glass test tube. How fast they fall tells doctors, as a crude sort of measure, whether there might be inflammation going on in the body. The higher the rate at which the red blood cells fall, the more inflammation there is.
LaShekia's sed rate was sky high. Bone X-rays confirmed that LaShekia's joints were badly inflamed. The two findings together pointed to the diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, known for short as JRA. |

| Oxygen taken into the alveolar sacs moves into the red blood cells in the walls and carbon dioxide is released by these red blood cells into the lungs. The diaphragm and ribcage then contract simultaneously, forcing air out of the lungs, and the person breathes out. In a healthy individual all this happens without conscious control.
The amount of air taken into the lungs is also varied automatically when you breathe. The bronchi are made of muscles and these can expand or contract. |

 For example, analysis of red blood cells provides the best diagnostic tool for assessing the status of elements that have important functions inside cells or on blood cell membranes. This is useful for evaluating cardiac influences, anti-inflammatory processes, anemia, immunological function, glucose tolerance, and other disorders that are associated specifically with zinc deficiency. Whole blood analysis measures total levels of elements that circulate in both extracellular fluids (serum/plasma) and in cells (red blood cells and lymphocytes). |

 The molecular structure of red blood cells and chlorophyll is virtually identical except for the center atom—in red blood cells it's iron, in chlorophyll it's magnesium. Chlorophyll is sometimes called "the blood of plant life."
Then there's the issue of acidity and alkalinity. As every gardener knows, the relative acidity and alkalinity of the soil can be determined by measuring its pH. The body also needs a balance of acid and alkaline for optimal health (pH can be measured in urine, in blood, and in saliva). |

 Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which infects red blood cells. The protozoans cannot live outside their hosts and depend completely on the glucose, enzymes, and metabolism of such cells to survive.11 This parasitic relationship eventually destroys the red blood cells, usually at 2- or 3-day intervals. The release of associated waste products and pigments causes the intermittent fever and chills seen in malaria sufferers. Plasmodium protozoa are spread from one human to another by four species of mosquitoes. |

She found that the patient could alter the degree of clumping of her red blood corpuscles by doing EFT, and that the effect showed up immediately when the samples of live cells were examined under a microscope. |
| The first photo shows the patient's red blood cells clumped up before doing EFT to release them. The second photo, taken a few minutes later, shows the patient's red blood cells after two rounds of EFT done with the conscious intent of producing even distribution of cells.19
Our dominant medical model does not believe that physiological processes such as red blood cell clumping are under the control of a patient's conscious mind. Reversing red blood cell clumping usually takes months of treatment, if it can be accomplished at all. |

 This can cause the number of red blood cells to increase, which raises the packed cell volume of the blood, called hemocrit, to abnormal levels. At the same time, the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood begins to increase, which may give rise to a red complexion of the skin, particularly in the face and chest. (Note: Hemoglobin is a complex protein that combines with oxygen in the lungs and transports it to all body cells.) As a result, the red blood cells become enlarged and are, therefore, too big to pass through the tiny vessels of the capillary network. |

 A low hematocrit may indicate anemia, blood loss, bone marrow failure, destruction of red blood cells, or malnutrition or specific nutritional deficiency. A high hematocrit may indicate dehydration and a few other conditions.
Hemoglobin (Hb): An iron-containing protein that enables red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues.
Lymphocytes: These are white blood cells that identify foreign substances, bacteria, and viruses in the body—and produce antibodies against them. Lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and are divided into T-cell and B-cell lymphocytes. |

 Magnesium levels were checked in the blood, urine, and red blood cells, and the 24-hour magnesium retention rate was calculated using a magnesium loading test (see glossary for further description).
Results of the study demonstrated that women with more anginal attacks (Group A) had a higher magnesium retention rate and lower magnesium levels in their red blood cells than those experiencing fewer attacks (Group B), indicating that Group A patients were deficient in magnesium. The level of intracellular magnesium deficiency was directly related to the frequency of chest pain. |

| Blood Separate analyses can be done to red blood cells, whole blood, and serum respectively to help determine a variety of element loads. For example, analysis of red blood cells provides the best diagnostic tool for assessing the status of elements that have important functions inside cells or on blood cell membranes.

 One reason the Hb A, test can offer such a broad view is lc that glucose sticks to such proteins as red blood cells. The Hb A test measures the average amount of glucose in the blood over the last twelve weeks, which is the amount of time red blood cells live before they are removed from circulation. Therefore, the glucose on those cells has "stuck around" for a while and provides a more accurate picture of your accumulated glycation-induced damage over the previous three months than does the result of a fasting plasma glucose test alone. |

 A blood test for anemia may show a low volume of blood, a low level of total red blood cells, or red blood cells of an abnormal size or shape (i.e., sickle cell anemia). Identifying the underlying cause of anemia through a complete diagnostic evaluation is essential. When treating anemia, it is critical to support the digestive and immune systems and restore energy through improving the absorption of vital minerals and vitamins, particularly iron. Enzyme therapy supports all of these goals and can also be used to help the body maintain a correct pH balance. |

 When the number of red blood cells is low, the patient is said to be anemic (quite common); when the red cell count is high, the patient is said to be polycythemic (not too common). The job of red blood cells is to carry oxygen throughout the body to allow bodily function to work normally. When the numbers of these cells decline, fatigue sets in quickly, especially after you exert yourself. If you've ever flown from a low-altitude city like New York or Los Angeles to a iuur ^ i m r i u m a Ant mial very high one like Denver or Salt Lake City, you may have experienced symptoms similar to anemia. |

 So what's a threat to human survival that is common in Africa and around the Mediterranean and has a connection to red blood cells? Four out of five dentists may recommend Trident—but ten out of ten infectious-disease experts will give you the same answer if you ask them to solve that riddle: the answer is malaria.
Malaria is an infectious disease that infects as many as 500 million people every year, killing more than 1 million of them. More than half of the world's population live in areas where malaria is common. |

| ANEMIA
Anemia is a blood disorder that results in a lower than normal number of red blood cells in the blood. The concentration of the oxygen-carrying pigment (hemoglobin) in the blood is below normal. Anemia can be caused by excessive blood loss, excessive red blood cell destruction, iron deficiency, and/or deficient red blood cell production. Symptoms of anemia include weakness, fatigue, pallor, headaches, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, bruising easily, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or frequent infections. |

 Because gold salts have a number of noxious effects, including skin pigmentation and a rare but potentially fatal possibility of bone-marrow suppression, in which counts of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets decrease, they should be considered a last resort. Gold salts should never be used by patients with kidney disease, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), congestive heart failure (CHF), hypertension (HTN), urticaria, colitis, or gold sensitivity or by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. |
| Plasmodium falciparum infects red blood cells and is fatal in 1 % of cases. Symptoms include recurrent fever and an anemia that is associated with a drop in energy. If you are traveling abroad, you have to decide whether to use prophylactic medications to prevent malaria. With the increase in worldwide travel and the involvement of the U.S. armed forces overseas, there is a need to ensure that travelers not be exposed to infectious diseases like malaria that are not endemic in the U.S. |

| If the hydrogen peroxide isn't cleared out with the help of G6PD, it starts to attack your red blood cells, ultimately breaking them down. When that happens, the rest of the cell leaks out, resulting in hemolytic anemia, with potentially deadly effect.
The gene that is responsible for G6PD protein production—or deficiency—goes by the same name, G6PD. This gene is carried on the X chromosome. As you probably remember from science class, the X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes; the other is Y. |

| If these plant-based proteins did indeed break down all proteins, then all red blood cells, white blood cells, muscle tissues, stomach lining, arteries, other enzymes, and practically every other tissue of the body would be in danger.
Another point to consider is the content of the probiotics themselves. They are bacterial organisms, full of enzymes, including proteases. Why don't the proteases in the probiotic kill the cell? The answer is obvious: the protease in bacteria is specific and does not digest the living protein found in the bacteria itself. |
| Hemoglobin, a protein present in red blood cells, helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide. Almost half the volume of blood consists of red and white blood cells, while the remainder is a fluid called plasma, which contains dissolved proteins, sugars, fats, and minerals. The protease in the high protease enzyme formula fortifies and cleanses the blood by helping to build the immune system and break down unwanted ptoteins in the blood. |

| We know that people who have favism, with a deficiency in the G6PD enzyme, lack the ability to mop up those free radicals, which causes their red blood cells to break down and results in anemia. We know that a map of fava bean cultivators and a map of likely favism carriers would highlight the same portions of the globe. And we know that any genetic mutation as common as favism—more than 400 million people—must have given its carriers some advantage over something even more deadly. |
