O.T-Newport-- TCM, circulation/oxygen and fingernail moons (Edit)
I have a CZ friend that swears by this Chi stuff. I was ordering the better quality phos-choline when I also found this.
In your studies of chinese med..is this so? Not having moons on the fingernails is connected to blood circulation/oxygen? The EPFX found definite heart stuff with me too, including the D. Immitis, and A. Vasorum heart worms.

>>When oxygen reaches the cell, the cell becomes nourished and toxins are removed. Low oxygen perfusion in the body sets up risk of diseases, such as cancer. A good quick check to see if one has high oxygen perfusion: check fingernails for the lunate or half moons. All fingers should have them except for the little finger. Fingernail moons return with Vein Lite.>>
I don't know what these ingredients are in this stuff, except ginko.

I haven't had the fibrinogen, or C-Reactive protein, checked since the first two marker tests. They had showed that when I first started with the ND 2 years ago, my fibringen and C-Reactive were both high-- double from what the normal range should be. The 2nd test showed that they had both come down to within normal range. When I did those two blood tests, they were $400 (out of pocket) through the ND. They are now $1400 for the same tests, so I doubt I will be getting it checked again. Unless it is specified to look for it, normal blood tests don't show them. I would have never known how high they were with normal blood tests. I didn't fully understand the significance of them being so high then either :(
And not high blood pressure, but the very low blood pressure.
It was a definite difference between the two tests (9 months in between) and I had been doing nothing more than killing lots of parasites, bowel cleansing, and
Liver Flushing regularly.
Alot of other factors involved too, but from your post on the thrombosis with the Rickettsia, I'm understanding how the RMSF is a problem for all this circulation stuff too, sticky blood too. "Blood that flows like molasses". Is the BE and serrapeptase enough? (and keeping the gunk moving out of the liver)
Do your fingernails have moons?? My fingernails have also been very ridged for sometime, but they seem to be getting worse instead of better. I've heard several different things for the cause- malabsorption, and also thyroid. (?)
