immune response. Each of these factors can affect, and thus skew, the results.
Electrolyte Imbalances
Your blood can show normal levels of calcium, for example, but at the
cellular level you could be highly deficient. Blood level minerals do not show
utilization or storage factors. Serum levels of minerals can change due to
emotional issues, blood-drawing techniques, and homeostatic (balance)
needs. Also, excess mineral and toxic metal accumulation is hard to detect
from blood analysis because of the removal by the spleen, liver or other
tissues for storage or protection. Your body must keep the blood and serum
as clean and balanced as possible or death can result.
Hormone Levels
Your blood is the most inaccurate medium in showing hypoactive
hormone production. Thyroid (T4 and T3) hormone activity is much better
indicated by the Basal Temperature Test, which was created for this purpose.
(See Appendix A.) Adrenal steroid and neurotransmitter production are also
not measured properly by blood tests.
Glucose/Fructose Utilization
Your blood can show serum glucose levels, but test results can’t indicate the
degree of transport.
True Immune Response
Your blood can show high or low levels of immune cells (basophils, for
example), but can’t indicate why the immune system is responding as it is.
Most immune responses are interpreted wrongly, especially without the
understanding of detoxification.
Your blood carries many cellular metabolites, parasites, liver wastes and
the like. These are filtered out through your spleen, kidneys, intestines and
lungs. Because of this your blood’s environment is always changing, giving
rise to the ever-changing chemistry of the body.
Your blood analysis can be a great tool to help you to put the “pieces” of
the puzzle together. It can help you determine excessive carbon buildup,
excessive tissue breakdown, and electrolyte disturbances through low serum
levels. It can alert you to liver, heart, kidney and muscle tissue breakdown. It
