MEET RIC CARNEY MNHAA |
|
My name is Ric Carney. The Lemon Detox program has become an integral part of my practice. As a medical herbalist I have had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of Lemon Detox participants and help guide them through their program. I have been overwhelmed with the positive feedback received. When I saw first hand how impressively the Lemon Detox Diet changed my clients vitality and motivation, I became quite intrigued, and wondered; What physiological changes are occuring during the Lemon Detox program, and what is responsible for the amazing results? I see customers walk into our practice before the program and after they have completed the program. You can actually visually see a change in apperance in their skin and vibrancy. As customers were looking totally amazing on the outside, I sought to see the benefits from inside of the body. I was particularly interested in the significance that the Lemon Detox program has on the blood. I have since recorded Live Blood Screenings for Lemon Detox clients, and am now observing what changes occur in living blood samples before and after the Lemon Detox program. I believe the way my clients feel after the Lemon Detox program reflects on the health of their blood, and now with Live Blood Screening, they can feel and see the difference. Many more customers are wanting to perform live blood screenings, simply because the blood does not lie. Seeing blood results and understanding a little about your blood really interests customers in improving their health and well being. |

Fibrin Spicule Cluster 20/05/08 The circled object in this image is a Fibrin Spicule Cluster. This pre-Lemon Detox blood sample has indications of possible liver stress and the presence of Acute Phase Proteins. The arrow highlights an echinocyte. Red blood cells that have aged significantly begin decomposition and have a serrated margin and "burr" appearance. |

Erythrocyte Aggregation 20/05/08 The large circle on the left highlights a clumping of Red Blood Cells (RBC's), referred to as Erythrocyte Aggregation. When the RBC membranes become "sticky", they clump together, reducing their surface area and capacity for oxygen distribution. The two smaller circles present Platelet Aggregants. These are blood cells responsible for blood clotting, and are visible early in Live Blood Samples after becoming sensitive to inflammatory signals. |

Post-Lemon Detox sample 31/05/08 This Live Blood sample was taken on completion of 6 consecutive days on Lemon Detox Diet! To my astonishment, when compared to the Pre-Lemon Detox sample, Erythrocyte Aggregation had significantly reduced and so too had Platelet Aggregants. The RBC's appear nicely seperated, maximising surface area for oxygen distribution, and supporting wellbeing. |

Post-Lemon Detox sample 31/05/08 This Post-Lemon Detox sample features two white blood cells (WBC's), called Neutrophils. What I also found to be a significant positive change in comparison to the Pre-Lemon Detox sample was the increased viability and activity of these cells. Neutrophils are a very important component to our body's immune system. Healthy, viable Neutrophils are necessary for optimum immune defence! |

Using only one or two drops of blood from your finger, your practitioner will use Hemaview Analysis to investigate the size, shape, associations, ratios and fine structure of the red cells white cells and platelets in your blood.
From this, your practitioner will identify any health problems and develop suitable treatment protocols.
Seeing is believing
Hemaview analysis lets you take a real part in identifying and understanding your health problems. With Hemaview analysis you are able to see how your blood picture is affected by poor diet and lifestyle choices.
Hemaview analysis enables your practitioner to better understand the effect of lifestyle and environmental conditions on your body and how they can be adjusted to improve your health.

Live Blood Screening Definitions
Erythrocytes:
Erythrocytes or (red blood cells) transport oxygen and co2 in the blood back and forth from tissues and the lungs. Also known as (RBCs)
Echinocyte:
A red blood cell which has become crenated. (having a scalloped edge or a surface with rounded projections)
Red cell membrane abnormality characterized by short, blunt projections
(spicules) of relatively uniform length and evenly distributed over the red cell surface. In early stage of development the red cell maintains a discoid shape (echinocyte I), but may progress to a spherical shape (echinocyte IV, spheroechinocyte).
Erythrocyte Aggregation:
The massing or clumping of red blood cells in intact blood vessels in response to injury or in certain diseases, blood flow. It is also called sludging of blood and intravascular agglutination (adhesion/clumping).
Fibrin
Fibrin is a protein involved in the clotting of blood. Fibrin Spicule Cluster indicates inflammation and extra demands placed on the liver.
Recent research has shown that fibrin plays a key role in the inflammatory response and development of rheumatoid arthritis.
Platelet Aggregate
An irregular, disc-shaped element in the blood that assists in blood clotting. During normal blood clotting, the platelets clump together (aggregate). Although platelets are often classed as blood cells, they are actually fragments of large bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes.
Neutrophil:
Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell, comprising about 50-70% of all white blood cells. They are phagocytic, meaning that they can ingest other cells, though they do not survive the act.
Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive at a site of infection, through a process known as chemotaxis. They are plentiful and responsible for the bulk of an immune response. Neutrophils are present in the bloodstream until signaled to a site of infection by chemical cues in the body. They are fast acting, arriving at the site of infection within an hour.
The neutrophil has a lifespan of about 3 days
