How Clumped Blood Cells Can Harm You

Clumped Blood Cells

It’s inevitable that everyone on this planet has gotten sick at least once in their lifetime. Once someone gets sick, the foreign invaders such as bacteria, viruses, or chemical substances tries to take over the body. They attach to red blood cells which carries important substance called oxygen that gives and sustains life to all living organisms. If oxygen is deprived, parts of the human body begins to deteriorate and becomes weakened beginning at the lungs (since oxygen gases are exchanged within the lungs primarily) then eventually spreading throughout the whole body.

The human body’s reaction when a foreign invader such as a bacterium or a virus enters the body is that it sends antibodies to combat them. Antibodies are the immune systems soldiers that attach and attack antigens (i.e. viruses, bacteria, chemical substances, etc..) and tries to eliminate them out from the body. This reaction occurs in the blood stream where the antibodies flow freely.

With the red blood cells carrying the antibodies to fight antigens, these blood cells tend to aggregate with each other and begin to ‘clump’. If there is an over- abundance of ‘clumping’ of t red blood cells, it can affect the body negatively. While it is more common to see this on someone who is sick, it can also occur on healthy individuals with underlying disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc…

A simple comparison of how ‘clumping’ of the blood cells affects the body is to visualize a typical traffic jam on a highway. When there are many vehicles traveling on one road, not only does it slow down the rate and speed of travel, but it also takes longer for many to arrive to their intended destination. If this applies to the human body, it can cause many dire health problems.

Some of these examples include:

  • Limits oxygen and other helpful nutrients to travel throughout the body efficiently via the blood stream
  • Increases the risk of several cardiac diseases because oxygen travel is limited
  • Immune system cells such as leukocytes are limited in being dispersed throughout the body
  • Increases bacterial, viral, and fungal growth allowing these pathogens to replicate
  • Decreases the absorption of certain medications and supplements

Is there a way to ‘de- clump’ these blood cells? The answer to this question is YES! Fast Relief Acupuncture offers a unique, minimally invasive, and effective treatments that can help reduce the ‘clumping’ of the blood cells. This innovative treatment (each treatment for 30 minutes) can help:

  • Can increase electron zeta potential of the red blood cells to repel off each other and not clump
  • Allows immune cells to travel freely to the vascular system
  • Decreases bacterial, viral, and fungal growth and prevent them from duplicating within the blood streams
  • Can increase and improve the absorption with certain drugs and supplements
  • Can help assist eliminate pathogens (foreign invaders of the body) out of the blood leading the immune system to be less overwhelmed

How Your Legs Can Help Your Immune System

In today’s current state of the pandemic, many people are worried if their body’s immune system is strong enough resist any viral infections. While there are many things that can be done to increase one’s immune system (click here for more information), there is one specific point that can not only help with your immune system but does many other wonderful things to help maintain the body to be healthy. Let’s further examine on how this point can help the body.

The point is located approximately 3 inches below the knee cap, towards the meaty portion of the shin. Traditionally, this point in acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine was used to increase person’s energy, promote good appetite and digestion, and to calm a person’s mind. This acupuncture point is commonly used in many acupuncture treatment protocols for what it can positively do the body.

Recent research has confirmed that stimulating this point actually releases anti- stress hormones into the body to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The study confirmed that there is pathway within the brain that is involved in the production of the stress hormone cortisol and targeted by some anti-anxiety and anti- depressants drugs (click here for more information).

Another recent research on this acupuncture point has shown promise by how it positively it affects the immune system. One research shows that it can help control the inflammation caused by sepsis (a life threatening complication of infection). According to the study, the reason for antisepsis “might include reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, improving microcirculatory disturbance, and maintaining the immune balance mediated by dopamine.” (click here for more information).

Fast Relief Acupuncture is currently using a very innovative technique on modulating and strengthening the immune system. By using proper frequencies of electric stimulation on this point, it can help combat viral and bacterial attacks on the human tissue while preserving healthy tissues and strengthening the immune system within the body. It can also reduce cytokine storm (immune system gone haywire and attacking pathogens and healthy tissues) which is commonly found in viral respiratory infections. The procedure is safe, beneficial to your health, and painless. Contact Fast Relief Acupuncture today to set up your appointment to help your immune system!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Modern Day Affliction

With our current society’s reliance from doing majority of their work on the computer, it is almost certain that many will have physical affliction of the wrist/ hand. Whether it be working within an office space or at home on their desk for many hours on the computer, many people will develop carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a very common problem affecting the hand. Symptoms and signs include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist. When there is increased pressure within the wrist on a nerve called the median nerve due to injury or physical changes to the area, sensations to the thumb, index, and middle fingers, and to half of the ring finger can be felt. These sensations include numbness, tingling, pain, and/ or weakness.

It affects people who use their wrists and hands repeatedly at work and at play and the chances of getting carpal tunnel syndrome increases with age. Symptoms usually begin slowly and can occur at any time which include:

  • Numbness at night.
  • Tingling and/or pain in the fingers (especially the thumb, index and middle fingers).

Because some people sleep with their wrists curled, nighttime symptoms are common and can wake people. These nighttime symptoms are often the first reported and shaking of the hands helps relieve symptoms in the early stage of the condition.

Common daytime symptoms can include:

  • Tingling in the fingers.
  • Decreased feeling in the fingertips.
  • Weakness in the hand.
  • Inability to perform tasks that require delicate motions (such as buttoning a shirt).
  • Dropping objects.
  • Difficulty using the hand for small tasks, like:
    • Handling small objects.
    • Grasping a steering wheel to drive.
    • Holding a book to read.
    • Writing.
    • Using a computer keyboard.
