Undigested Proteins, Vitamins and Mineral Deficiencies
	Normal Red Blood Cell (RBCs) The circulatory system is the means by which oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and hormones are transported to the cells to keep them alive and functioning. This is how your blood looks when you are experiencing optimum health. The Erythrocytes (cells) are round and separated and move through the capillaries very easily. The average size of healthy RBC is 7.2 microns. The average number of red blood cells in the human body is 25 trillion. The average red blood cell lives 120 days. Your blood makes a complete circuit in your body every 30 seconds. Return to Previous Page
	Protein Linkage This condition is the first sign of cell stickiness and may progress into rouleau if not corrected. Protein linkage is a sign that excessive protein is being consumed or the protein is not being digested completely. As the cells start sticking together it becomes harder for your heart to push the blood through your veins and arteries.
	Rouleau When the blood gets to this condition the amount of oxygen that can be transported is severely diminished. This condition is caused by high fat and protein diets and high acidity. It results in poor circulation of the blood, and therefore decreases the amount of oxygen and nutrients available for your body to use. Your blood will look like this if you drink one soda and will stay that way for at least two hours. Because your cells are not getting oxygen they need, you may experience fatigue, have poor digestion, and the possibility of skin disorders.
	Erythrocyte Aggregation This condition is one step worse than rouleau. This is often seen in people with degenerative diseases. This is caused by undigested fats and proteins and high acidity. Degeneration of tissue follows low oxygen and acidity. This condition can also precede a blood clot which can cause a stroke or heart attack.
	Poikilocytosis Red blood cells who's cell membrane wall has been damaged on a molecular level. Many agents may contribute to this damage including but not limited to, carcinogenic agents, preservatives, chemicals, or other outside agents absorbed by the body. These free radical possessing agents make the cell incapable of effectively delivering nutrients and oxygen.
	Microcyte These are small red blood cells having a diameter of less than 5 microns. These cells have less hemoglobin than normal cells and are often seen in people with anemia.
	Macrocyte These cells are greater than 10 microns in size. Macrocytes are often seen in people with hemolytic anemia, food allergies, and poor absorption. Can be caused by enzyme deficiency, folic acid and B12 deficiency.
	Anisocytosis In this condition there are variations in the size of the cells. This is mostly seen in people with low levels of the vitamins B12 and folic acid and the mineral iron.
	Target Cell These red blood cells are deficient in iron and therefore hemoglobin, which is the part that carries oxygen. The symptoms produced in the body are tiredness, poor digestion, and anemia.
	Hemolysis This is the destruction of the red blood cell. It can be caused by bacterial infection or toxins introduced into the blood stream. The hemoglobin goes out of the cells interior and diffuses into the plasma. Can be caused by hypotonic fluid injected intravenously. Also caused caused by malnutrition within the cell causing it to die prematurely.
Fat, Protein, and Liver Congestion
	Normal Thrombocytes (Platelets) Platelets are small disk shaped components of blood that have an important role in blood coagulation. When a blood vessel is injured the platelets adhere to each other and to the injury to form a plug which stops the bleeding. Platelets number approximately 200,000 to 300,000/cu.mm
	Thrombocyte Aggregation When the thrombocytes (platelets) aggregate and there is no injury a very dangerous situation can develop. The aggregated platelets can form a clot which can block an artery and cause a stroke or heart attack. This clot is called a thrombus. Diets high in fats and proteins or high sugar consumption can create this situation.
	Spicules (Fibrin) Fibrin are platelets that have changed in shape. They form a net-like substance in which blood clots can be formed by the entrapment of red and white cells and platelets. When found in the blood and there is no injury, arthritis, or inflammation there can be danger of a blood clot that can cause a heart attack or stroke. Can be caused by liver stress due to incomplete digestion of proteins and fats. Can also be caused from alcohol intake, drugs, caffeine, nicotine, and Tylenol.
	Chylous Chylomicrons are small particles of fats in the blood after the digestion and assimilation of fat in food. The presence of chyomicrons in the blood after a 12 hour fast indicates a condition known as hyperlipo-proteinemia, can lead to atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and enlargement of the liver and spleen.
	Plaque Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the most dangerous conditions in the blood. It builds up along the vascular and arterial walls causing wall deterioration and restriction of the blood vessels. It can also cause poor circulation, high blood pressure, and heart disease. These crystals are formed when your system becomes acidic. Plaque can be caused by excess denatured fat intake, fried foods, heated oils, animal fats, refined sugars and simple carbohydrates.

	Uric Acid Crystal Uric acid is a byproduct of protein metabolization and urea. If your protein intake is too high, or your body is unable to digest and metabolize proteins, the kidneys may not eliminate enough uric acid and crystals will form. When the body becomes acidic the urea forms crystals that can lodge in joints or tissues. Uric acid is the major cause of gout and one of the causes of fibromyalgia. These crystals are shaped like knives which is one of the reasons they cause so much pain for people with either of these disorders. Return to Previous Page
	Cholesterol Crystal Cholesterol is an important sterol in the body that is the precursor for many important hormones. Only when the body is acidic does the cholesterol crystallize and become a problem. This is probably the most seen crystal in blood analysis, but it's important to realize that cholesterol is not the problem when you see the crystals, acidity is. Can be caused from lack of lipase enzymes, poor assimilation of fats, or excessive intake of high cholesterol foods. Return to Previous Page
	Echinocyte These are red blood cells that have a thorny appearance. Often indicative of kidney stress, dehydration or creanation (older dying red blood cells).
Immune System, Parasites, Bacteria, and Fungal Forms
	Healthy White Blood Cell These cells are made up of lymphocytes and leukocytes. They form the basis of the immune system. There are approximately one or two white cells for every 500 red cells. When there is an elevated count it is usually a sign of an infection. The white blood cells protect us from infectious diseases, destroy any cells that have mutated and clean up the blood stream.

	Yeast A fungus that feeds on undigested food and sugar in the blood. The principle yeast found in the blood is Candida Albicans. It is often found in people with cancer, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. This condition is also indicative of over acidity as yeast cannot live in an alkaline environment. It can cause extreme fatigue, foggy thinking, burning/itching skin irritation, and excess digestive gas production. Return to Previous Page
	L-Form Bacteria Produces a toxic by-product which can weaken or suppress the immune system. Can cause one to be more susceptible to colds. Signifies low immunity, high blood sugar, frequent colds and illnesses.
	Rod Form Bacteria An advanced form of a bacterial infection and regarded as a serious indicator of a weak immune system. These bacteria produce toxic acid by products as a result of their metabolic processes.
	Parasitized Red Blood Cells This is bacteria or parasites that get inside the cells causing the cell to die, and unless they are stopped by the immune system, they will continue to attack other cells. Caused by weakened immune system, toxins or the disease process. Return to Previous Page
	Fungal Forms Fungi can spread throughout your body through the blood and develop colonies. They usually develop slowly, are hard to diagnose, often go unnoticed and can be resistant to treatment. Can be a sign of poor assimilation of nutrients and an acidic condition in the body. Return to Previous Page
