As you know, there is an international standard for the typical, allopathic, medical blood test.

 To give some background and history on it, the normal ranges are not always the best or optimum numbers. What they’ve established over the decade in the population, when people by the thousands are tested, is that this is normally the range that determines they’re within healthy standards.

 There are many examples with iron in blood tests. The most recent research shows that, for the normal standards for iron, the normal range is skewed. If you use that number and go to the higher end of that range, in a vast majority of cases, you would probably be taking in too much iron. That increases cardiovascular disease and even some forms of cancer.

 When we’re reading a blood profile, the medical team determines what is best from extensive experience. They also determine the state of affairs in the individual’s health.

 Does gender or race have anything to do with it? In some cases, but not often, gender is more susceptible to differentials than race. When we look at blood profiles, they must be individualized. There are constant standards that we look at.

 On the other hand, the blood counts are all efficient. Blood counts mean white blood counts, red blood counts, hemoglobin levels, hematocrit levels, MCVs, MCH and differentials. All of those numbers are spot on. They’re exactly where they’re supposed to be.

 The ones that have to do with organ systems and cholesterol are the ones that need to be altered at times. One small example with lipids or cholesterol is the most honored study in probably the history of human biology. It’s the Framingham Study.

 Over the decades that this study has been conducted, the Framingham study has given us opportunity to learn an awful lot about the biochemistry of the body.

 One of the outstanding findings is that people who have a 150 standard cholesterol reading or below are not susceptible to heart attacks and strokes. That is almost written in gold because of this highly evolved, extensive and long clinical study on humans. We should be reflecting 150 and below on cholesterol standards.

 Rather than doing that, there is a mathematical farce going on where they tell us that good cholesterol, high density lipid and low density lipid, in ratio of 1:3 in cholesterol levels, are more important than the cholesterol themselves. The evidence is not so in the important Framingham study.
