Nutritional Blood Analysis - YIKES!!!!

    At a local health food store I noticed a sign for an upcoming blood analysis clinic where by just from taking a drop of your blood, they can tell you about your nutritional health - or unhealth. The cost was $50, so I signed up! 'What could it hurt?... I thought. I have issues; digestive unrest, itchy skin, tight aching muscles - maybe they'll tell me something I don't know and can point me in a positive direction. So today was the day. I told Joe before I left that I was going to refuse to fill out a bunch of paperwork and then have them tell me things based on what I wrote. I was happy to find out the only thing to fill out was contact information. 
    So after a minor prick of the finger, smeared on a glass slide and put under a powerful microscope, Bubbles!!!  No, turns out those are my red blood cells - which I'm happy to report  I have!. But instead of being free-floating, they were all clumped together and in long chains. Right away he says those chains and clumps are from undigested protein making things hard on the heart, and can cause high blood pressue!  Amid all the clumping was a random white blood cell - a good thing. Then there were some random red blood cells that looked like cheerios (he called them donuts). Those, he said are red blood cells that didn't have enough iron to form completely, OR, it can be that I'm not digesting iron properly. (Did I mention that by age 50 our bodies produce only about half the origianl digestive enzymes as when we were  young - uh, I mean, younger?) There were some small irregular spots which he said is fungus. There were also spots of undigested sugar - which shows the inability to digest carbs and sugars. At that point, he asked me if I crave sugar. Ha! Silly question! There were some large jagged cells (which looked more like large islands) that they refer to as 'PAIN'  - mainly to muscles and joints - those are uric acid crystals. Ok, I know all about uric acid, or at least my left foot does!
    The good news in all of this is that a few supplements (some of them temporary) will undo this wickedness. Also good news to me, is that a lot of my physical complaints were answered today. But I've saved the best for last, which is not really good news, but sort of good news - shocking so-to-speak is this picture (click to enlarge).

See that very large splotch in the middle? That is arterial plaque!  OH MY GOD!!  He said THAT is what causes heart attacks and strokes when those cells are bigger than a red blood cell. As you can see it's WAY bigger. The good news is that getting the digestion fixed will dissolve this free-floating plaque. So $165 in supplements later, I'm ready to heal!  Hopefully I won't drop of a heart attack first!
    I had read in another health book that once you hit middle age you should take digestive enzymes with every meal - good ones! Today I learned you should take one at bed time too. Who knew?
