What Does My Lab Test Report Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 15 Feb 2016
Question: I have been doing a breathing routine the past two years, which appears to have increased the oxygen in
my blood. LDL has dropped 33%, Triglycerides down 55% and many, many more health improvements.
My blood is much redder and thinner. No colds for 24 months. 20 years of mild instances of atrial
fibrillation have all but disappeared. At 71 my blood pressure is about 116/74. Would you give me your
thoughts, and does redder blood mean more oxygen and does thinner mean lower viscosity?
Thanks, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
yes you are correct

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

You have done really well on the cardiovascular health front. All the parameters have improved significantly. You have really brought down your cardiovascular risks.

Yes, redder blood means more oxygen and thinner means low viscosity. But I am not sure how you are measuring redness or thinness. Is it by naked eye?

Overall, you are on the right track and need to continue with the breathing routine.

Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi Dr. Ghosh:
Thank you for your observation, much appreciated. I won't bother you with
three follow ups, but I will ask for one. My dentist, a marathoner, was quite
surprised, a few weeks ago, that my blood is very red and thin. Is there a way of testing the amount of oxygen in the blood and its' viscosity. Do any of the
figures on my latest blood test indicate oxygen or viscosity?
It appears that oxygenation thins and purifies the blood much the same as
prescription blood thinners, with no dangerous side effects, and additionally
countless other health benefits.
Thank you again for your observation.
Regards, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
yes breathing exercises help

Detailed Answer:
If your dentist has observed it then it must be correct. The lab parameters also confirm.

Breathing exercises help in cardiovascular risk reduction but the exact mechanism has not been elucidated. Most probably a complex process.
