ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE
 
Allopathic medicine, in my opinion, should be limited to emergency
medicine, diagnostic 
procedures and surgeries. Emergency medicine has
saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and many surgeries are essential to life,
as humans have literally destroyed their health and the tissues in their bodies. I spent many years involved in emergency medicine, and especially
enjoyed anything that dealt with the heart. However, there are a lot of hospital
Emergency Rooms that could learn about nature and how to apply more non-
invasive techniques that could save even more lives and increase the quality
of life for many, many more. There are far too many tissue-damaging
techniques used in Emergency Rooms today, including chest compressions,
which crack or break the sternum. Many surgeries are unnecessary, however. They often cause the patient
great distress, and in many cases, a dismal future. Open-heart surgery, for
example, can mostly be avoided. Nature can clean out the vascular system in
short order if the patient is willing to change his/her lifestyle. In fact, eighty to
ninety percent of all dis-eases can be cured without chemical medicine or
invasive procedures. Naturopaths are non-invasive and seek a cure for the
cause of the problem.Conclusion
Avoid a future of immobility, despair, sexual impotence and massive
diseases. Don’t wait until it is too late. Become healthy now. Health, vitality
and fun can give you a new life of freedom, tranquility, vibrancy and
longevity. It is beyond the scope of this book to cover all the natural therapies that
currently exist, for which I send out my deepest apologies. I have tried to
give you an overview of the most well-known and important ones. Each one
deserves much more recognition. Each natural modality is a science within
itself, offering you a magnificent journey to restoration of the self. Read,
study, and learn all you can about each one and enjoy what they have to offer
you. The Bibliography at the end of this book will suggest many fine books
that will help you in your study. It is time that each individual takes responsibility for his/her own health
issues. Empower yourself. You will enjoy how your body feels as it becomes
more vital and dynamic. If you seek anything, seek to be vibrantly healthy:
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. NOTE: The sciences described above are the greatest tools that nature offers
you in restoring your vitality. However, they are only as good as the
practitioner who uses them. A director of the American Medical Association
was once interviewed on the news program 60 Minutes and asked about how
people could protect themselves from poor M.D.s. His response was to quote
the old adage, “Let the buyer beware [
Caveat Emptor
].”
I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join
the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk. Live with passion! — Anthony Robbins

All About Blood Analysis
 
This Appendix will teach you a lot about blood chemistry and help you to
interpret the results of any blood-work that your healthcare practitioner may
suggest for you. This Appendix consists of four parts:
1
. An overview of the most common types of blood analysis. 2
. A sample Laboratory Report to familiarize you with how results are
tabulated. 3
. A detailed description of each blood test, explaining why it is used and
what diseases or conditions its results may indicate. 4
. The shortcomings of blood analysis. PART I
 
OVERVIEW OF BLOOD ANALYSIS

CANCER TUMOR MARKERS (ANTIGENS) CEA
(CARCINOEMBRYONIC ANTIGEN)
 — A protein that normally appears
in fetal gut tissue. However, it is also found in the bloodstream of adults with
colorectal tumor and other carcinomas including breast, pancreatic, liver and
gastric (stomach). It is also found in non-cancerous (benign) conditions
including ulcerative colitis, diverticulitis and cirrhosis. CA 19-9
 — Useful tumor marker (antigen) for liver and pancreatic cancers. It is primarily used in the diagnosing of pancreatic carcinoma (70 percent). CA 19-9 markers can also indicate gastric cancers, colorectal cancer,
pancreatitis, gallstones, cirrhosis and cystic fibrosis. CA 15-3
 — A tumor marker best used for meta-static breast cancer. It can
also be elevated in ovarian disease, non-malignant breast masses and non-
breast malignancies. CA 125
 — An epithelial cell tumor marker for ovarian cancer. AFP (ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN) AND HCG (HUMAN CHORIONIC
GONADOTROPHIN)
 — Germ cell tumor markers for the ovaries. PSA (PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN)
 — Aglyco-protein found in the
cytoplasm of prostate epithelial cells. Elevated PSAs can indicate
inflammation and/or cancer of the prostate. The higher the PSA levels,
especially above 5, the more likely that this inflammation has become cancer. Blood Typing
Human blood is categorized according to the presence or absence of blood
antigens. These antigens are called 
ABO
 and 
Rh
 Antigens. The two major
antigens that comprise ABO blood typing are the 
A
 and 
B
 antigen, which
serve as the basis for the ABO system. Type A blood contains type A antigens. Type B blood contains type B
antigens. Type AB blood contains type AB antigens. Type O blood does notcontain type A or B antigens. The presence or absence of Rh antigens (factors) determines whether
your blood is Rh-positive or Rh-negative. Blood typing is important for transferring blood from one person to
another. Antigens are the immunity of the individual and reflect one’s ability
to fight pathogenic invasions. Other Common Terms and Tests Used
Electrolyte Panels: Show glucose and blood serum electrolytes. Thyroid Panels: Show T4s (Thyroxin), T3s (Systemic converted
Thyroxin), and TSHs (Thyroid stimulating hormone, from pituitary). Lipid Profile Panels: Show cholesterol (LDLs and HDLs) and blood
triglyceride levels. PART II
 
HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR BLOOD TESTS
 
General Chemistry
GLUCOSE
 — In general, basic serum glucose levels may be an indicator of
many conditions within the body. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes
mellitus, hyper-parathyroidism, Cushing’s disease, stress, pancreatitis,
corticosteroid and diuretic therapy, pheochromocytoma, and cellular acidosis. Decreased levels may indicate hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, liver disease
and Addison’s disease. MINERALS
 — The minerals sodium, potassium, chloride and calcium are
the main electrically-charged cations and anions, which constitute the body’s
electrolytes. SODIUM
 — Sodium is the most abundant cation (positively charged)
mineral in extracellular fluids. Therefore, it is the major salt in determining
extracellular osmolality (transportation) of nutrients and constituents. Blood
sodium is a direct result of the balance between dietary intake and kidney(renal) excretion and reabsorption. Many hormones affect this balance of sodium by controlling the
excretion through the kidneys (e.g., aldosterone, ADH, NH, etc.) Low sodium levels create hyponatremia (low sodium), which can create
weakness, confusion, coma and death. Too much sodium (hypernatremia)
creates thirst, dry mucus membranes, convulsions, restlessness, etc. Many
drugs can create both hypo- and hypernatremia, including antibiotics,
steroids, laxatives, diuretics, sulfides, heart medications, etc. Cancer will also decrease sodium levels. The body will use any alkaline
component in it to fight acidosis. Sodium has a strong affinity for oxygen and
is a vital inorganic metal in maintaining electrolyte balance. POTASSIUM
 — Potassium is one of the major cations within the cell. There
is almost forty times more potassium in a cell as opposed to the fluid that
surrounds a cell. Potassium is affected by sodium reabsorption by the
kidneys. Aldosterone lowers potassium by increasing kidney excretion. Your
body always seeks to maintain the acid-based balance within it. Acidosis pulls
potassium out of a cell, causing electromagnetic changes which affect cell
wall permeability of nutrients and the electro-potentiality of a cell. Symptoms
of elevated blood potassium (hyperkalemia) include nausea, vomiting,
irritability, diarrhea, depressed electrical depolarization of the heart, muscle
contractility, (S.O.B., chest pain, etc.) and acidosis. Low serum levels
(hypokalemia) include a 
decrease in the contractility of smooth, skeletal and
cardiac muscles, which can cause a host of symptoms including pain,
paralysis, general weakness, and cardiac arrhythmias. CHLORIDE
 — Chloride is an extracellular anion. It’s considered one of the
body’s main electrolytes and serves to maintain electrical neutrality. Being a
companion with sodium, its fluctuation mostly matches sodium, especially in
fluid retention. However, chloride is not always affected by cancer like
sodium is. In many cancers, the body will use its sodium to help alkalize thishighly acidic condition. Chloride also helps maintain acid/alkaline balance. Chloride replaces intracellular bicarbonate in the neutralization of carbon
dioxide, thus maintaining the alkaline balance of the cell and its fluids. Hypochloremia is low chloride levels and hyperclore-mia is elevated chloride
levels. Hypochloremia
Hyperactivity of nerve and muscle tissue
Hypotension
Difficult and shallow breathing
Acidosis
CHF
Overhydration
Vomiting
Chronic respiratory
Hyperchloremia
Weakness
Fatigue
Dehydration
Cushing’s Syndrome
Multiple myeloma
Kidney dysfuntion
Anemia
CALCIUM
 — Serum Calcium is used as an indicator of parathyroid
function and calcium metabolism. This test is very inaccurate in determining
calcium utilization. Blood calcium levels can rise or fall from cancer, chemical
medication, detoxification, excessive milk drinking, high protein diets,
vitamin-D supplementation, hyper-/hypo- or parathyroidism, renal failure,
inflammation of the bones, malabsorption, pancreatitis, and other conditions. CALCIUM-IONIZED
 — Ionized calcium does not bind with albumin, so is
unaffected by albumin imbalances. Therefore it is seen as a more accurate
picture for hyperparathyroidism. CARBON DIOXIDE
 — Carbon dioxide levels are used to determineacidosis or alkalosis. It can also be an indicator of poor oxygenation,
electrolyte imbalance (cellular), neutrality of extra and intracellular fluids,
poor elimination (from kidneys and lungs), renal failure, salicylate toxicity,
diabetic ketoacidiosis, starvation, shock, emphysema, and other conditions. BUN (BLOOD UREA NITROGEN)
 — This test measures the amount of
urea nitrogen in the blood. Urea is a substance formed in the liver as the end
result of protein metabolism. As amino acids are catabolized (broken down or
changed), ammonia is formed and then converted mostly to urea. Urea is also formed in the lymphatic system. These ureas are transported
to the kidneys for elimination. One can determine toxic levels of protein
consumption, liver metabolism (of proteins) and kidney excretory functions
by urea levels in the blood. Most kidney conditions create low levels of urea. High levels can reflect over-consumption of proteins, GI bleeding, liver
inflammation, and deterioration. Extracellular protein toxicity can also be a
factor. BUN and creatinine combo tests are used as renal function indicators. Dehydration or overhydration can affect blood ureas, as well as many drugs,
including aspirin and diuretics. Prostatitis and hypertrophy of the prostate gland can also cause abnormal
urea levels. Malnutrition and lack of proper protein digestion and synthesis is
also a big factor. CREATININE
 — Creatinine is a product of catabolized creatine. Creatine is
used for skeletal muscle contraction and strength. Creatinine is excreted
entirely by the kidneys and can be an indicator of kidney or muscle
breakdown (decreased levels). Increased levels can be an indicator of
inflammation of the kidneys, urinary obstructions, dehydration, CHF,
diabetes, shock or trauma. TOTAL PROTEIN
 — Proteins are formed from building materials called
amino acids. They are used in all structural and most functional aspects of the
body. They are constituents of muscle, cell membrane walls, hormones,
enzymes, neurotransmitters, and hemoglobin, and used as transport vehicles. Proteins significantly contribute to the osmotic pressure within the vascular
system. This is significant to nutrient transport and metabolism. ALBUMIN
 — Albumin is a protein formed within the liver. It constitutes
almost 60 percent of the total protein of the body. Albumin has many
responsibilities including maintenance of cellular osmotic pressure, andtransportation of enzymes, hormones, etc. Albumin levels can give an insight
into liver conditions, hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer, malnutrition, wasting
conditions including those of the vascular and intestinal (Crohn’s) systems. BILIRUBIN TOTAL
 — Bilirubin is one of the best indicators of liver
function. It can become elevated during detoxification as the urine eliminates
water-soluble toxins. There is indirect (unconjugated) or direct (conjugated)
bilirubin depending upon the organ involved, (spleen or liver, respectively). Provides insight as to the proper functioning of these organs and the
inflammation or damage therein. Obstructions of these organs, as well as the
bile duct, such as with tumors or stones, will increase bilirubin levels. Other
conditions that increase these levels include pernicious anemia, sickle cell
anemia, hemolyte anemia, and damage from drug consumption. ALP (ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE)
 — Alkaline phosphatase is a
phosphatase enzyme that works in the presence of an alkaline environment. ALP is found mostly in the Kupffer’s cells of the liver, bile tract epithelium
(surface cells), and in the bones. When acidosis is present in these tissues,
depending upon the degree (tumors, inflammation, cancer, etc. ), the ALP will
increase. The elevation of ALP can also be a result of healing fractures and
normal bone growth, among other things. Many drugs and chemicals can
play a major role in affecting ALP levels. These include antibiotics, heart
medications, fluorides, oral contraceptives, oxalates, sulfates, and cyanides. Low levels can indicate hypothyroidism, pernicious anemia, excess vitamin-B
ingestion. Some doctors give mega B-vitamin injections to drive ALP down
when they are high. As previously stated, increased levels may indicate
cancer (liver, gallbladder, bone, etc. ), however, normal growth factors can
also affect ALP levels. AST (ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE)
 — Formerly SGOT (serum
glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase), AST is an enzyme found in liver cells,
heart muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, and to a smaller degree in kidney and
pancreatic cells. The elevation of AST may suggest liver inflammation, as in
hepatitis, cirrhosis and cancer, as well as myocardial infarction (heart attack),
muscle conditions like myositis and myopathy, and renal disease and
pancreatitis. ALT (ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE)
 — Formerly SGPT (serum
glutamic-pyrovic transaminase) . ALT is an enzyme formed predominately in
liver cells. However, it is found in heart muscle cells, skeletal muscular cells,
and kidney cells, like AST. ALT enzyme is considered a specific in liver
conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer, and necrosis.Drugs and chemicals will affect both AST and ACT enzymes. These
include antibiotics, aspirin-type drugs, heart medications, and many others. The list is a long one. Immune Panel
For a complete explanation on immune function and its cells, see 
Chapter 2
,
Immune System, 
Module 2.7
. WBC (WHITE BLOOD CELLS)
 — Basically, white blood cells
(leukocytes) are the body’s armed forces, which protect it from foreign
bodies—substances including proteins, chemicals and weakened or dying
cells. When WBCs are elevated we know the body is fighting something. That something could be inflammation from foreign substances, tissue
necrosis, or weakness and toxicity This all leads to what is called infection. Trauma and stress also may affect WBCs. When WBC count is low, ask yourself “Why are they low now?” “Why
is my body under-producing them?” Or, “Why are they not getting into my
bloodstream?” These questions may lead you to consider the presence of
bone marrow weaknesses or disease, chemical and radiation therapies (which
suppress and kill bone marrow cells), and/or a highly congested lymphatic
system. All of these situations and more will affect the body’s WBCs. Low
WBC count is called 
Leukopenia
 (“penia” meaning “deficiency”). Elevated
WBCs are called leukocytosis. An increase in total WBCs may indicate
inflammation (acidosis), infection (acidosis), trauma, stress, and tissue
neurosis. A decrease of WBCs may indicate drug toxicity, dietary deficiency,
bone marrow failure or disease. There are many types of white blood cells (leukocytes). They include:
Cell Types
% In Body
Neutrophils
55% – 70%
Lymphocytes
20% – 40%
Eosinophils
01% – 04%
Basophils
0.5% – 01%
Monocytes
02% – 08%
Most immune panels provide what is called a differential count. Each
type of immune cell has its own function. When the percentage of any
particular type of WBC changes, it will give insight into what condition the
body is fighting. For example, neutrophils indicate inflammation,
lymphocytes indicate anything from infection to cancer, monocytes indicateconditions from parasites to ulcerative issues (types of tissue destruction). The following are some of the causes related to the increase or decrease
of individual WBCs. Neutrophils
Cause of increase: (Neutrophilia) Acute infection, inflammatory
conditions, e.g., arthritis (rheumatoid and others), rheumatic fever. Any “itis,” including gout, trauma, leukemia and stress. Cause of decrease: (Neutropenia) Overgrowth of bacteria, anemia, viral
involvements (like hepatitis or measles) radiation therapy, chemical or drug
toxicity. Lymphocytes
Cause of increase: (Lymphocytosis) Viral or bacteria involvements,
multiple myeloma, lymphatic cancers, infectious hepatitis, radiation
exposure. Cause of decrease: (Lymphocytopenia) Sepsis, lupus, leukemia, drug or
chemical toxicity, steroid use, and radiation exposure. Eosinophils
Cause of increase: (Eosinophila) Parasites, allergies, skin conditions, e.g.,
eczema. Also, leukemia. Cause of decrease: (Eosinopenia) Allergic reactions, stress,
hyperthyroidism. Basophils
Cause of increase: (Basophilia) Leukemia, fibrocystic conditions. Cause
of decrease: (Basopenia) Allergic reactions, stress, hyperthyroidism. Monocytes
Cause of increase: (Monocytosis) Inflammatory processes, viral
involvements, tuberculosis, parasites, ulcerative conditions. Cause of decrease: (Monocytopenia) Drug and chemical toxicity, steroid
use. Immune cells should be working 
for
 us. These cells live within the ocean
of the lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system becomes congested and
impacted this will highly compromise the function of immune cells in many
ways.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. Normalhemoglobin levels are called normochromic, high levels are hyperchromic,
and low levels are called hypochromic. Old RBCs are broken down (phagocytized) by macrophages in the
spleen, liver or red bone marrow. When this happens, the iron from the
hemoglobin is reused immediately to produce new RBCs, or is stored in the
liver. The globin portion is converted back to amino acids. The heme that is
left is converted to bilirubin, which is then excreted by the bile. HCT (HEMATOCRIT)
 — Hematocrit is the percentage of RBCs
(erythrocytes) in any given volume of blood. Your hematocrit should closely
relate to your RBC count and hemoglobin count. Increased levels may
indicate dehydration, severe diarrhea, trauma or shock, burns, or other
conditions. A decrease in hematocrit levels may indicate anemia, cirrhosis of
the liver, cancer, hyperthyroidism, hemorrhage, bone marrow failure,
rheumatoid arthritis, malnutrition, or normal pregnancy. MCV (MEAN CORPUSCULAR VOLUME)
 — The MCV test is a
measurement of the volume or size of a single red blood cell. This is
beneficial in classifying anemias. The greater the MCV volume, the larger (or
macrocytic) the cells are; and the lower the MCV volume the smaller (or
microcytic) a red blood cell is. MCV volumes are calculated by dividing the
hematocrit by the total RBC count. MCVs may indicate liver conditions,
alcoholism, pernicious anemia, or other problems. A lower MCV finding may
suggest iron deficiency anemia. MCH (MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN)
 — MCH signifies the
average amount (weight) of hemoglobin within an individual red blood cell. MCHC (MEAN CORPUSCULAR HEMOGLOBIN
CONCENTRATION)
 — The MCHC is a measurement of the average
percentage or concentration of hemoglobin within an individual cell. This
factor is obtained by dividing the total hemoglobin concentration by the
hematocrit. RDW (RED BLOOD CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH)
 — This is a
measurement of the width of the red blood cells. This is helpful in classifying
the type of anemia that one might have. PLATELETS (THROMBOCYTES)
 — Platelets are essential to the ability
of the blood to clot. They are the bridges and spider webs for perforations of
tissue. They bind so the body can repair. Low platelet levels are indicative of
bone marrow and/or spleen weakness or disease. Infections, drugs and
hemorrhages are also related to low platelet counts. Below 
50,000
 is critical.MPV (MEAN PLATELET VOLUME)
 — MVP deals with platelet size
reflecting bone marrow weakness or function. LP.D. Profiling Panels
CHOLESTEROL (LDL AND HDL)
 — Cholesterol is essential for the
formation of steroids (anti-inflammatory: anabolic type), bile acids and
cellular wall membranes. Cholesterol can only be used by the body in its free form. It is
synthesized by the liver or metabolized from dietary cholesterol (meats
mainly). This free cholesterol is then bound or connected to transporters
(lipoproteins) for transport through the blood to the cells. Note: In cooked
meats, lipids become bonded and are no longer free. There are two types of lipoproteins: LDL’s Low-density proteins, and
HDL’s High-density proteins. Seventy-five percent of the body’s free
cholesterol binds to the low-density proteins and 25 percent to the high-
density proteins. LDLs bring the most abundant type of cholesterol. It leads
some to think that the elevation of this type of bound cholesterol is an
indicator of arteriosclerotic disease. This thinking is unreasonable to me. When you examine why cholesterol is produced and how it is used by the
body, you realize that cholesterol production is linked to steroid use, in
particular, to inflammatory responses, and to the rebuilding of cells when cell
destruction has taken place. Because the liver synthesizes and metabolizes cholesterol, low cholesterol
levels can be associated with liver diseases (like inflammation, hypo-function,
narcosis, and cancer), as well as malabsorption, hyperthyroidism, some
anemias, sepsis and stress. Increased levels of cholesterol may create or indicate low adrenal
function, inflammatory conditions, nephrosis, biliary cirrhosis, dietary habits
(over-consumption of meats), pregnancy, hypothyroidism, high blood
pressure, or other conditions. What elevated or decreased cholesterol levels indicate is quite different
than what they cause. For example, low blood pressure is indicative of
adrenal medulla weakness and sodium imbalances, which can reflect adrenal
cortex weakness. When the cortex of the adrenal glands is weak, the body’s
response to inflammation 
from acidosis (mostly dietary and hormonal) will
be low. Therefore, the production of cholesterol by the liver will increase,
thus increasing blood serum levels. Cholesterol is an anti-inflammatory lipidused by the body in response to inflammation and cellular destruction. In time, without correcting the above, blood pressure will swing from
low to high (arteriosclerotic syndrome). One can also experience diabetes,
hyperthyroidism, hypercholesterol-emia, hyperlipidemia, high blood
pressure, heart attack, strokes, arteriosclerosis, nephrosis, and other
conditions. The answer to the above of course will always lead you back to the same
thing—detoxification. Alkalize and energize, and your body will clean and
rebuild itself. TRIGLYCERIDES (TG)
 — Triglycerides are similar to cholesterol in that
they are lipids. Triglycerides act as a source of stored energy and for healing
inflammatory conditions. Triglycerides (like cholesterol) also bind with
lipoproteins for transportation throughout the body. These lipoproteins
include: 
VLDs
—Very low-density lipoproteins and 
LDLs
—Low-density
lipoproteins. Triglycerides are synthesized by the liver from glycerol and other fatty
acids. Being similar to cholesterol, triglycerides have the same biological and
pathogenic response. Anything that causes acidosis (from alcohol
consumption to meat eating) will elevate lipids. Thyroid Profile Panels
T3 (TRIIODOTHYRONINE)
 — The T3 or triiodothyronine study shows
the amount of T3 in the blood. This is used to determine if there is overactive
or underactive thyroid involvement. T4 (THYROXINE)
 — This study shows the amount of T4 (thyroxine)
present in the blood. Elevated levels have been associated with
hyperthyroidism and Wilson’s Syndrome—the inability of the body to
convert T4s into T3s. Low levels of T4 have been associated with
hyperthyroidism. T4, as with most hormones, needs protein transporters. TBG or thyroid-binding globulin (a protein) is one of the transporters of T4
or thyroxine. Elevated serum proteins from acidosis or protein toxicity may
increase T4 or T3 levels. T3 uptake reflects the thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) and thyroid-
binding prealbumin (TBPA) in the blood. This test is done to weed out
elevated or decreased T3 or T4 levels by other factors, such as, oral
contraceptives, pregnancy, or kidney disease.TSH (THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE) AND TRH
(THYROTROPIN-RELEASING HORMONE)
 — TSH is a thyroid-
stimulating hormone produced in the anterior portion of the pituitary gland. This hormone (TSH) activates or stimulates the thyroid gland to produce and
release thyroxine (T4s). When the thyroid is weak (hypothyroidism) or the
pituitary is hyperactive, TSH levels will be elevated. This is in response to the
need for more thyroid hormone, thyroxine, which is vital to metabolism and
heart function. Low levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)
stimulate TRH and TSH release. TSH study is also used to determine primary hypothyroidism (from the
thyroid itself), or secondary hypothyroidism (hypothalamic caused). Remember that all things work together in creation to form one God. This is true also of your body and its glands. Specific glandular function can
be a result of the gland itself being toxic and weak, or due to other related
glands that are affecting it. Because all things are interwoven and interlocked,
conventional “treatment” never works. NOTE:
 In thirty years of clinical observation, it is my opinion that blood T3,
T4 and TSH levels are the least accurate of thyroid tests. This is why the
Basal Temperature Test was created. (See 
Appendix A
.) I have seen a
tremendous number (80 percent) of hypothyroid cases missed by the medical
profession because they treated the blood test, not their patient. PART III
 
SHORTCOMINGS OF BLOOD ANALYSIS
 
Using blood analysis to determine body conditions and diagnose tissue
weaknesses is one of the least accurate of the diagnostic tools available today. However, when combined with tissue analysis, Iridology, physical
symptomology, reflexology, and kinesiology, it can provide as close a total
picture as you can get of the internal condition of your body. With blood analysis alone one can only hypothesize what 
might
 be going
on in the body, and this of course 
greatly
 depends upon the interpreter. A
blood type analysis does not accurately reflect electrolyte imbalances,
hormone levels, glucose fructose utilization, and the true nature of theimmune 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. Itcan also give you clues to systemic acidosis and immune response creating
inflammatory issues, and much more.APPENDIX E
Tissue Mineral Analysis (TMA)
 
Your hair is little different from any other tissue in the body, requiring
virtually the same elements for growth and repair. Since the hair is the second
most metabolically-active tissue in your body, it can be used as a “record” of
metabolic activity. The first inch or so of your hair can give you a good
picture of the last two months or so of your body’s metabolic activity. As it
grows, it “locks in” the history of intra- and extra-cellular metabolic activity. Hair analysis is more reliable than blood analysis in indicating tissue
(cellular) level utilization, storage and excretory factors. Hair is considered
excretory tissue. It can show mineral, heavy metal and toxic element levels
within the body. The FBI uses hair analysis in forensic labs to determine the
ingestion of toxic and deadly metals and substances like arsenic. It is so
accurate that they can determine the year and almost the month of ingestion
and the level changes thereof. Hair analysis can also be more definitive than
blood and urine in indicating the body’s storage of toxic elements. The EPA
(Environmental Protection Agency) uses hair as the tissue of choice in
determining toxic metal exposure. Many factors can affect proper hair analysis by contaminating or altering
the results. These include hair treatment products, such as dyes, bleaches, and
shampoos. It is important to know what goes on at the cellular level, and the hair will
indicate this. The cellular level is where it is all “happening.” Dr. Emanuel
Cheraskin has stated in his book, 
Diet and Disease,
 “Minerals have
interrelationships with every other nutrient. Without optimum mineral levels
within the body, the other nutrients are not effectively utilized.” Minerals play
an active role in production of hormone synthesis and activity (and vice
versa). Some minerals are “electric” transporters as well as stimulators. Minerals also play a role in enzyme activity. Tissue mineral analysis can play a vital role in understanding some of
your body’s symptoms. Most naturopaths and many other healthcare
practitioners use hair (tissue) analysis as part of their practice. These analyses
include dietary recommendations, but the diets suggested are not based upon
natural health principles.Conclusion
Blood, hair, saliva and urine analysis should be correlated with an iris
analysis, and clinical (body) observation, as well as with the body’s
symptoms. It is easy to be misled with only a partial understanding of
systemic conditions when using body fluids alone as diagnostic tools. Detoxification can also drastically change blood, hair, saliva, and urine
analysis and to the untrained physician or health care practitioner, it can fool
them into thinking the body is in trouble when it is only cleaning itself. Blood
cholesterol levels and cancer markers (antigens) can drastically increase in the
initial stages of detoxification, but will drop into normal ranges when the
body is cleaned out. There is only one true healing modality … detoxification
. It will bring
the body’s chemistry back into homeostasis (balance), and will remove the
toxic metals, elements and substances that don’t belong there. Seek God, health and happiness.APPENDIX F

Glossary
 
ABCs
 a localized collection of pus and liquefied tissue in a cavity. Abortifacients
 cause induced abortion (premature expulsion of the fetus). Absorbents
 herbs used to produce absorption of exudates (accumulated
fluids) or diseased tissues. (Black Elm, Mullein, Slippery Elm, etc.) Absorption
 nutritionally, the process by which nutrients are absorbed
through the intestinal tract into the bloodstream to be used by the body. If
nutrients are not properly absorbed, nutritional deficiencies (malabsorption)
will result. This can affect the body’s fuels and building materials as well,
leading to enervation, starvation and deterioration. Abstergents
 detergents. Acetylcholine
 an ester of choline occurring in various organs and tissues of
the body. It is thought to play an important role in transmission of nerve
impulses at synapses and myoneural junctions. Acidophilus
 lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria, also called “friendly colonic
flora,” is used to replace destroyed bacteria. Should be used by milk drinkers
only. Acidosis
 excessive acidity of body fluids, due to an accumulation of acids (as
in diabetic acidosis or renal disease) or an excessive loss of bicarbonate (as in
renal disease). The hydrogen ion concentration is increased, and thus the pH
is decreased. Acidosis leads to an immune response called inflammation. Acids
 a class of compounds that have low pH, usually sour to the taste, and
in their pure form, are often corrosive (citric acid, benzoic acid, formic acid,
uric acid, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, etc.). They can be either organic or
inorganic compounds. Acids can irritate and inflame the tissues of the body. They also can become free radicals. Acids found in plant tissues (especially
fruits), however, tend to prevent the secretion of fluids and shrink tissues. A
buildup of acids leads to acidosis. Acute
 having a rapid onset, severe symptoms, and a short course (not
chronic). Pain occurs in acute and regenerative conditions. “Acute” is actually
the beginning stages of disease. Adaptogen
 a substance with qualities that increase resistance and resilience tostress. Adaptogens strengthen cells, tissues, organs and glands. Adaptogens
work through support of the adrenal glands, especially. (Garlic, Echinacea,
Ginkgo, Goldenseal, Pau D’Arco and Ginseng.) Adrenal Glands
 a pair of triangular-shaped glands that sit on top of each
kidney. Glands of internal secretion whose effects mimic those of the
sympathetic nervous system; increase carbohydrate use of energy. Also,
regulate carbohydrate and fat metabolism and salt/water balance, as well as
steroid hormones.

        ALLOPATHIC MEDICINE
 
Allopathic medicine, in my opinion, should be limited to emergency
medicine, diagnostic 
procedures and surgeries. Emergency medicine has
saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and many surgeries are essential to life,
as humans have literally destroyed their health and the tissues in their bodies. I spent many years involved in emergency medicine, and especially
enjoyed anything that dealt with the heart. However, there are a lot of hospital
Emergency Rooms that could learn about nature and how to apply more non-
invasive techniques that could save even more lives and increase the quality
of life for many, many more. There are far too many tissue-damaging
techniques used in Emergency Rooms today, including chest compressions,
which crack or break the sternum. Many surgeries are unnecessary, however. They often cause the patient
great distress, and in many cases, a dismal future. Open-heart surgery, for
example, can mostly be avoided. Nature can clean out the vascular system in
short order if the patient is willing to change his/her lifestyle. In fact, eighty to
ninety percent of all dis-eases can be cured without chemical medicine or
invasive procedures. Naturopaths are non-invasive and seek a cure for the
cause of the problem. Conclusion
Avoid a future of immobility, despair, sexual impotence and massive
diseases. Don’t wait until it is too late. Become healthy now. Health, vitality
and fun can give you a new life of freedom, tranquility, vibrancy and
longevity. It is beyond the scope of this book to cover all the natural therapies that
currently exist, for which I send out my deepest apologies. I have tried to
give you an overview of the most well-known and important ones. Each one
deserves much more recognition. Each natural modality is a science within
itself, offering you a magnificent journey to restoration of the self. Read,
study, and learn all you can about each one and enjoy what they have to offer
you. The Bibliography at the end of this book will suggest many fine books
that will help you in your study. It is time that each individual takes responsibility for his/her own health
issues. Empower yourself. You will enjoy how your body feels as it becomes
more vital and dynamic. If you seek anything, seek to be vibrantly healthy:
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. NOTE: The sciences described above are the greatest tools that nature offers
you in restoring your vitality. However, they are only as good as the
practitioner who uses them. A director of the American Medical Association
was once interviewed on the news program 60 Minutes and asked about how
people could protect themselves from poor M. D. s. His response was to quote
the old adage, “Let the buyer beware [
Caveat Emptor
]. ”
I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join
the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk. Live with passion. — Anthony Robbins
