Live Blood Cell Demonstration
<CENTER>The Surgeon General of the United States has said that 80% of all disease
is caused by either an excess or a deficiency in the diet.</CENTER>
An in-depth health evaluation including a Live Blood Cell Demonstration helps you:
- Systematically think about your own physical condition;
- Understand the effects of excess Stress, Fat, Toxins, and Chemicals in the bloodstream; and
- Understand the effects of Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies and the benefits of good nutritional choices.
The correlation between the quality of life, healing, and proper nutrition is an undeniable fact.
Do you have healthy and powerful blood, or is your blood tired and weak? Finding out could mean the difference between living a healthy, energetic lifestyle or not feeling as well as you should. The clinical nutritional consultation along with the live blood demonstration by your health professional can assist you in "balancing" your blood by giving you dietary and lifestyle recommendations that can enhance your overall health.
A microscopic photograph of healthy, powerful blood shows the red blood cells to be round, evenly shaped and freely floating in plasma. The plasma itself is clear with few fat globules. There are no signs of clotting, bacteria or other foreign matter, fungi or stress. This is the kind of blood a healthy person should have flowing through their circulatory system.
The blood plays a central role in the overall health of every person.
Although nearly 80% water, blood is a complex liquid that comprises approximately 7.5% of a person's total weight. An average-sized man has about 1 1/2 gallons (5.5 liters) of blood, while a woman has slightly less than a gallon (3.5 liters).
Whole human blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets (blood elements that float individually in plasma, a straw-colored liquid made up of about 90% water). The watery plasma, which also contains organic acids, glucose, hormones and salts, serves as a medium for:
- circulating the suspended blood components through the body's network of arteries, veins and capillaries;
- delivering nutrients to the tissues and organs;
- carrying minerals, hormones, vitamins and antibodies; and
- removing waste products.
Many substances vital to health are recycled through the blood.
Blood travels from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, picks up oxygen, flows back to the heart through the pulmonary veins, and is pumped systematically throughout the rest of the body. After releasing the oxygen to the cells and taking on carbon dioxide (the waste product of cell metabolism), the blood returns to the lungs, where the carbon dioxide is exhaled. It completes this circuit in 20 seconds. During its journey through the body, the blood also picks up hormones from the thyroid, adrenal, and other glands and transports them to specific organs.
In general, the blood helps maintain equilibrium (homeostasis) of the internal environment. In addition to bathing the body's tissues in oxygen and collecting waste products, the blood's major regulatory functions involve nutrition of cells, defense mechanisms and maintaining proper body temperature. The blood also facilitates the body's adaptability to different conditions, including changes in climate, stressful physical activity, new dietary habits and resistance to injury and infectious organisms.
The cells of the blood are of three types:
- Red Blood Cells or Erythrocytes;
- White Blood Cells or Leukocytes;
- Platelets or Thrombocytes.
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are formed in the red bone marrow of the skull, ribs, vertebrae and other major marrow containing bones. These cells transport oxygen from the lungs to other body tissues, collect carbon dioxide, and play an important role in regulating the acid-base balance of the blood. Red blood cells circulate in the blood stream for about 120 days, after which they are trapped and broken down in the spleen that stores and filters blood. The liver and spleen which also can function as back up sites for red cell reserves in an emergency, act as salvage yards for iron reclaimed from dead red cells. Although the total number of red blood cells in the body vary with age, altitude, activity and temperature, the average individual has about 35 trillion.
White blood cells, or leukocytes, are the principal components of the body's immune system. Acting as scavengers, they assist in repairing the body. White blood cells are formed either in the bone marrow or lymph nodes which serve as defense outposts against germs attacking the body. They travel from one site to another through the arteries, veins and capillaries, but also leave the blood stream and filter into the lymphatic tissues to fight invaders. Although they are formed in large quantities, many die in a few days. As a result, the red blood cells outnumber the white blood cells. A healthy person has approximately 75 billion leukocytes in their blood. Foreign particles inside the body are attacked by different types of leukocytes, each with its own defense function. They may be different in size but they act as a well-trained army. Their names are macrophage, neutrophil, eosinophil, monocyte and lymphocyte. The live blood demonstration allows us to observe white blood cells to see if they are performing adequately. This may be an excellent indicator of the performance of the auto-immune system.
Platelets, or thrombocytes, are formed in the bone marrow and play an important role in blood coagulation and clot formation. In fact, one of the blood's most important properties is its self-sealing ability. The life span of a platelet ranges from 8 to 10 days.
One drop of blood provides a window into your internal environment, often letting you discover and improve:
