Read Your Blood Test Results Correctly and Note the Optimal Reference Ranges

Did you know that the reference ranges you get on blood tests as to what's HIGH or LOW aren't the only ranges you should look at? Some of those ranges are so wide that they are practically useless. They certainly cannot be used to spot sub-clinical conditions.

So what do you use?

Well it turns out that a number of doctors and universities have developed "optimal" ranges for your blood work numbers. I've studied everything available on this material over the years, spending thousands of dollars in the process, and have written a book on these ranges and what they suggest you need to take.

I go over a bit of this in my upcoming optimal health and anti-aging seminar, which is available in Powerpoint format from the Products Page of the website. The work of Dr. Harry Eidinier, Abrishamian, Tipps, Cessna and others all support the fact that the "optimal ranges" can be used to spot conditions that stump the doctors.

For instance, did you know that when your blood work shows that uric acid levels are less than 1.8, cholesterol is less than 140, triglycerides are less than 40 and lymphocytes are less than 20 simultaneously, you better suspect cancer. Hi uric acid levels naturally correspond to gout, hi chlorides and low CO2 levels simultaneously usually indicates "chemical sciatica" (backpain that stumps the doctors since MRI, CATSCAN, and MEGs will be normal ), hi creatinine levels often tell you that you have prostate problems, and BUN can be used to tell if you are gluten sensitive.

Blood Test Optimal Reference Ranges

Want to know some of the optimal ranges for blood chemistry figures? It's more complicated than the following list since the numbers change based on your age and weight and sex, but here's a good reference range to keep handy. Knowing something is "off" will tell you what to look up on the internet, and knowing this you may be able to spot something the doctors miss.
