The next 3 pictures are progressively worse indications. They reflect a loss of “electrical charge” of the RBC’s which causes them to stick together. Cells find it more difficult to transfer oxygen to tissues and to circulate freely. CAUSE: Too much cooked animal protein in diet, low digestive capacity, low HCL production and enzyme utilization, dehydration, diet not proper for blood type, cons...

The effect of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from coconut kernel (Cocos nucifera L) in rats fed 5%, 15% and 30% level on the concentration of blood glucose, serum insulin and excretion of minerals was studied. Increase in the intake of fiber resulted in significant decrease in the level of blood glucose and serum insulin. Faecal excretion of Cu, Cr, Mn, Mg, Zn and Ca was found to increase in rat...

The desirable physical and physiochemical properties of clay minerals have led them to play a substantial role in pharmaceutical formulations. Clay minerals like kaolin, smectite and palygorskite-sepiolite are among the world's most valuable industrial minerals and of considerable importance. The elemental features of clay minerals which caused them to be used in pharmaceutical formulations are...

Volcanic ash is fragments of magma, and consists of minerals and volcanic glass. These materials in the ash can provide important information on the nature of the magma, because chemical compositions of magma usually show distinct features in each volcano, and because assemblages and compositions of minerals reflect their host melt. Using assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals and gl...

This study was conducted to assess the possible effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) and nano zinc oxide(nZnO) on growth performance as well as the level of Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn in Markhoz goat kidsblood samples. Thirty 5-6 months male Markhoz goat kids were supplemented with 22.12 mg ofZn/ kg DM as basal diet for 70 days. Zinc was administered at daily doses of zero, 20 and 40ppm in ZnO group , and 20 ...

Minerals, as we know them, are locked in the crust of the earth. As land dwellers, our main link with minerals is through a diet of plants, which are able to extract and assimilate metallic minerals from the soil as they grow. Our secondary link is from meats of animals that eat plants. Minerals are extremely important for our well-being, yet they have always been taken for granted, and few of ...
