Parasites, including bacteria and protozoas, are secondary to the cause. In
other words, toxicity and/or acidosis are the cause of immune system
weakness. Parasites and immune response are secondary. The answer to these
conditions is always detoxification. Detoxification always cures the cause.


RBC (RED BLOOD CELLS) — Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, carry
oxygen to the cells. These are measured by the total number of RBCs in
1mm^3 of venous blood. Within each red blood cell are numerous molecules
of hemoglobin. These molecules are full of iron that binds oxygen and carries
it forth. Many things affect red blood cells. They can become weakened,
become out of shape, and begin sticking together, etc. However, this is
mainly due to acidosis and low enzyme function within the vascular system.


Weakness and the other factors mentioned will affect the RBC’s ability to
carry and transport oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, and other functions. This
can create a multitude of problems from low oxidation reactions to acidosis
and anemia. One can experience any number of symptoms ranging from
chronic fatigue, fatigue of the thyroid and adrenals, to debility. As stated,
inflammatory conditions from acidosis are major factors affecting RBCs.


Dehydration will lead to increased RBCs and overhydration will lead to
decreased RBCs. Diet, organ failure, cancer, anemia, hemorrhages, and drug
and chemical therapy will decrease RBCs.


Again, detoxification is the only true answer to restoring red blood cells to
their true, individual potentiality. Alkalization separates them while increasing
hemoglobin content and capacity. Detoxification cleans the liver and spleen,
and removes the chemicals and any metals that affect RBCs, or any cell for
that matter.


Detoxification will restore total blood work to within normal ranges
again, without compromising homeostasis.


HEMOGLOBIN — The red blood cells contain molecules called
hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a conjugated protein that consists of hemo,
which bonds with iron, and globin, a simple protein (amino acid). There are
hundreds of different types of hemoglobin. However, basically they bond to
oxygen and glucose and transport these elements to the cells for energy and
oxidation purposes. The clinical implications of this test are closely related to
the RBC count.


Increased levels may suggest COPD, CHF, dehydration, or other
conditions. A decrease in hemoglobin may suggest anemia, cancer, lupus,
kidney disease, splenetic conditions, and nutritional deficiency. Normal
