Normal Red Blood Cell (RBCs)

The circulatory system is the means by which oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and hormones are transported to the cells to keep them alive and functioning. This is how your blood looks when you are experiencing optimum health. The Erythrocytes (cells) are round and separated and move through the capillaries very easily. The average size of healthy RBC is 7.2 microns. The average number of red blood cells in the human body is 25 trillion. The average red blood cell lives 120 days. Your blood makes a complete circuit in your body every 30 seconds.

Protein Linkage

This condition is the first sign of cell stickiness and may progress into rouleau if not corrected. Protein linkage is a sign that excessive protein is being consumed or the protein is not being digested completely. As the cells start sticking together it becomes harder for your heart to push the blood through your veins and arteries.

Melanophores are dark-brown pigment cells located in the skin of amphibia, fish and many invertebrates. The skin colour of these organisms is regulated by the translocation of pigment organelles, and the pigment distribution can be altered by external stimulL The ability to change colour in response to stimuli makes these cells of interest for biosensing applications. It was investigated whether pigment aggregation in Xenopus laevis melanophores can be detected by impedance measurements performed in transparent microvials. The results show that cell attachment, cell spreading and pigment aggregation all resulted in impedance changes, seen particularly at the highest frequency tested (lOkHz). The mechanisms behind the impedance changes were investigated by the addition of latrunculin or melatonin, both of which cause pigment aggregation. The latrunculin-induced aggregation was associated with cell area decrease and filamentous actin (F-actin) breakdown, processes that can influence the impedance. Lack of F-actin breakdown and an increase in cell area during melatonin-induced aggregation suggest that some other intracellular process also contributes to the impedance decrease seen for melatonin. It was shown that impedance measurements reflect not only cell attachment and cell spreading, but also intracellular events.

After much skepticism, energy medicine and the science behind it are emerging as rich and fascinating topics with major implications for anti-aging medicine. Those who follow this emerging field are being introduced to new vistas about how the human body works in health and disease, and anti-aging specialists are acquiring valuable new tools. The symposium will summarize the fundamentals of energetics and some of the significant breakthroughs. The fundamentals demystify energetics, answer the logical questions raised by skeptics and provide appropriate answers to patient questions. The breakthroughs are revealing how energetic methods are having a dramatic impact on health and longevity, and helping us solve one of the biggest unsolved problems in biology referenced above. We begin by discussing theories of aging to lay a foundation for new concepts based on discoveries in the fields of cell biology and biophysics.
