– Blood Tests –

These are the products we specificically
use for the following abnormal blood tests:

ALT & AST:

High liver enzymes indicated hepato-cellular injury. What injures the liver in HepC is an auto-immune mechanism whereby the lysosomes use a reactive oxygen species to attack the virus. This causes oxidative damage to the liver. Anti-oxidants such as milk thistle, alpha-lipoic, glutathione and selenium help mitigate liver damage. The deeper approach is quieting down lysosome output by the use of lithium and calcium orotate. This was discovered by Dr. Hans Nieper of Germany. Also, to lower enzymes, we like fresh juices, especially watercress, fennel, carrot, beet, parsley and lemon with part of the peel, apple, wheat and barley grasses. In general an alkaline diet is helpful, one that is rich in fruits and vegetables. We also make use of phosphatidyl choline to help heal the liver.

Albumin:

Albumin performs at least sixty-five vital biological functions. Low levels of albumin always indicate poor general health. To raise albumin levels we use six grams daily of broken cell wall chorella.

Alkaline Phosphatase:

Can indicate blockage of bile flow when elevated. We use lidan, milk thistle, and phosphatidyl choline.

Alpha-fetoprotein:

This is a marker for liver cancer. Slight elevations in alpha-fetoprotein are not cause for alarm. Readings that are problematic range 200 and over. If A-f is high we use squalene, red clover combination, artemisinin, coriolus (found in REM+), and high doses of methyl-selenocysteine.We also use Tian Qi, a Chinese herb mostly known for its ability to stop hemorrages for its anti-tumor properties as well. The more we have used Tian Qi in cases of elevated A-F, the more we have realized its utility in all chronic hepatitis cases as it has profound ability to normalize blood flow. The liver in its healthy state is extremely well vascularized, imagine cow's liver how it looks. As livers get damaged, blood flow is impeded, which is called stagnant blood in Chinese Medicine. Tian Qi treats stagnant blood as well excess bleeding, a very useful herb.

Ammonia:

Ammonia is a normal by-product of protein digestion. The liver clears ammonia, and when liver function becomes poor, ammonia levels rise interfering with mental clarity. We use Ornithine Aspartate 1 packet twice daily and 1 NADH tablet before breakfast to lower ammonia levels. Ornithine Aspartate, or technically l-Ornithine-l-Aspartate (LOLA) primes the Urea Cycle (also known as the Orinithine Cycle) and Glutamine Synthetase which consume ammonia. NADH also is part of the metabolic detoxification of ammonia through the Urea Cycle. Ornithine Aspartate is easily tolerated without the side effects associated with Lactulose. Also useful is having more of your dietary protein from vegetarian source and beneficial intestinal bacteria. Diuretics by washing out potassium can increase ammonia levels.

Bilirubin:

Very high levels cause jaundice. Popular myth suggesting the liver is fine if there is no jaundice is not true. Bilirubin is a breakdown product of red blood cells and again it indicates poor liver function if elevated. Often there is intense itching, especially at night in bed with excess bilirubin. We use high doses of the red clover combination.

Blood Counts:

White cells low: We use thymic extracts, REM+, and red root combination.

Red cells low:

We use blood tonic, and micro-algaes like blue-green, chlorella, or spirulina. Do not use extra iron. We also use unprocessed whey powder, as well as focusing dietarily on leafy greens, beets, cherries, lamb and other red meats, essentially eating dark red or green foods. Most importantly we use Essential GSH. Glutathione (GSH) has the ability to raise RBC count quickly, because Glutathione is the anti-oxidant protection for red blood cells. Sufficient levels of Glutathione enable red blood cells to live longer. We also routinely use Liver Yin Essence to build the blood.

Cholesterol:

For elevated cholesterol use Resveratrol, Lidan, Phosphatidyl Choline, CO-Q10, Red Yeast Rice, and Magnesium Orotate. Liver diseases often cause disruptions in normal lipid profiles.

GGTP:

Similar to Alkaline Phosphatase though more specific to the liver as AP can reflect other systems as well.

Genotype:

All genotypes are responsive to our treatments. Our only differentiation between them is recognizing that some genotypes progress more quickly than others in our understanding of individual cases.

Glucose:

The liver stores glycogen and has an integral place in maintaining blood sugar balance. Much more often we will see high glucose reading in Hep C patients, we will add in to their base protocol alpha lipoic acid, and magnesium and calcium arginates. Arginates help in making insulin receptors function more efficiently. We also use chromium, and pau d’arco tea with a touch of licorice. Exercise loweres blood sugar extremely well.

Iron:

Excess iron can deposit in the liver promoting the formation of free radicals. Free radical are highly reactive and can injure healthy cells. Do not take extra iron. Check your multiple vitamins and make sure there is no added iron. Lactoferrin, a constituent of colostrum has been the most effective product in lowering iron levels in Hep C patients.  Lactoferrin meaning 'milk iron' in Latin regulates iron levels. There are a number of chelation treatments that pull toxic metals out of the system. In our protocol we use IP6, oregon grape root, and alpha lipoic acid to treat high iron levels as well as Zeolite.

Platelets:

For low platelets use alfalfa extract, red root combination, thymic protein A, and acidophilous. Same for excessively long prothrombin time. Alfalfa extract is very high in vitamin k which helps strengthen platelets. Vitamin k is synthesized in the intestines, this is the rationale for adding acidophilous.

Viral Load:

We use thymic protein A, methyl-selenocysteine, REM+, and d-lenolate which is a strong form of olive leaf extract. If enzymes are normal we add in zinc orotate to increase the activity of the lysosomes. Because this last substance can increase liver inflammation we usually use it only when enymes are normal and the viral load in under 100,000 already. Currently we are employing Argentyn 23, a silver hydrosol in our arsenal of anti-virals. In lab tests it far outperformed MesoSilver against Staph Aureus and other infections. One of our strongest anti-virals is LarreaRx a derivative of chaparral. In research done at John Hopkins it inhibited the replication of the HIV-1 virus. This compound is fabulous against the herpes family in particular. We are careful in its use against Hep C as it can raise liver enzymes. Though we will use it when viral load is high and inflammation is low. Lastly we have resurrected LEM+, being able to use much higher doses than ever before. Literally up to 6 times our previous dose with much better results.
