Identifying At-Risk Patients
Typically patients with: Chronic Infections, Inflammation, Chronic Conditions
Key Symptoms to Watch For:
- Fatigue
- Poor circulation
- Cold hands, feet, arms, legs
- Cold intolerance
- Numbness, tingling
- Lightheadedness, brain fog
- Headaches, dizziness
- Exercise intolerance
Evaluating Objective Findings
Physical Examination
- Low pulse oxygen
- Low blood pressure
- Cold hands, feet, skin
- Reduced nerve sensitivity
- Bruising, swelling
- Weakness
Basic Laboratory Findings
- CO2 < 25 on CMP
- Metabolic-lactic acidosis
- Poor energy output
- Low B vitamins, Mg, CoQ10
- ↑ CRP, ESR, fibrinogen
Advanced Laboratory
- Clotting cascade markers
- Lactate, Pyruvate
- Organic acids
- Fatty acids
- Amino acids
Understanding the Mechanisms Involved
1
Lack of Blood Flow
Cholesterol and blood sugar levels impact circulation
2
Lack of Nutrient Diffusion
Clotting and fibrin issues impede nutrient delivery from capillaries to cells
3
Lack of Cellular Delivery
Digestive function and nutrient supply affect cellular nutrition
4
Lack of Toxicity Removal
Infections and toxins (metals, mold, environmental) trigger inflammation
Learning Protocol Options
Blood Flow Optimization
✓ Movement & Exercise
✓ Adequate Hydration
✓ Weight Management
✓ BP Control
