Abstract
This presentation segment describes the series of effects that lead to the choke mechanism. Basic topics:
- Cellular stress event, Triggers Na/K imbalance, Inflates the cell, limits Future Flow, plasma only, forces anaerobic, and locks stress.
The Vascular Network
The human vascular system is a network of about 50,000 miles of tubes that carry blood. This blood continuously delivers oxygen and nutrients to body’s cells.
The health of vascular network is critical. Any vascular failure that shuts off blood to cells, suffocates downstream cells — usually within moments.
Vascular conditions that limit blood flow, reduces the blood supply, trigger cellular distress and self preservation.
Factors that affect vascular heath are important to the entire body.
Vascular Oxygen Supply
The vascular system is made of cells that also require nutrients and oxygen. Vascular cells experience blood like a bystander near an interstate and watch Oxygen rich red blood cells zoom by — loaded with oxygen.
But blood velocity, and CO2 swap mechanisms prevent vascular cells from accessing RBC bound oxygen.
This means that vascular cells have live on the oxygen from someplace else. They must use the oxygen dissolved in bulk fluid, or plasma.
Plasma Oxygen
Throughout medical history, plasma oxygen has been a curiosity. Medical texts recognize a normal concentration at about 3 ml/liter, tiny compared to that the quantity bound to red blood cells.
But tiny does not mean unimportant — this seemingly small quantity of oxygen keeps the vascular system alive.
Until 1987, everybody except Manfred von Ardenne, overlooked the importance of this oxygen.
Even now, it is not considered a factor in health or disease even though nothing could be further from the truth.
Plasma Hypoxia
Plasma hypoxia is insufficient oxygen in blood plasma to maintain vascular cell metabolism.
Conditions that reduce plasma oxygen below a critical level, can damage the vascular system, like the absence of oxygen damages any cell.
One of the hidden effects of stress is respiratory compensation which decreases the amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma.
Flow And Concentration
There are two known factors that govern usable oxygen available to vascular cells, flow and concentration.
Flow is the volume of plasma that comes in contact with vascular cells while concentration is the total amount of dissolved oxygen.
Concentration Variables
Increases in respiratory turbulence, like breathing hard, increase soluble oxygen levels; while shallow breath, reduce levels.
Dissolved solids, like salt, and metabolic waste, reduce oxygen solubility. Sea water holds 25% less oxygen than fresh water, and blood plasma holds 43% less oxygen than sea water.
Conditions that increase plasma-solutes, or toxins, decrease plasma oxygen levels.
This is the hidden connection between blood toxins, and the vascular system. Plasma toxins reduce soluble oxygen, and therefore reduce vitality of vascular tissue.
Flow Variables
Blood is not water — it is a colloidal suspension governed by electrostatic repulsive forces. Suspended particles, like blood cells, must have enough electrial energy to repel each other, otherwise they form clumps that clog the vascular system.
When clumps clog narrowing vascular funnels, arterioles clog, flow stops, and downstream tissue suffocates after oxygen is used up. This causes cellular hypoxia, which transforms sludge blood, into a destructive vascular inflammation.
Vascular Chokes
When the vascular inner skin, or endothelium, becomes oxygen deprived, energy metabolism failure disrupts sodium potassium ion exchange, and these cells accumulate sodium, which causes them to bloat. Bloating reduces the vascular diameter, and limits flow.
The diameter of a healthy capillary is smaller than a healthy red blood cell so that blood cells must bend or fold to go through capillaries. Bloating limits flow to plasma fluid, and perhaps red blood cells that may shrink to avoid clogging the capillary.
Stuck Chokes
Chokes are a stuck effect because the oxygen required to requred to to release them cannot arrive because the pipe is well — choked.
Manfred von Ardenne developed a system for releasing these chokes, we will talk more about that later.
Logically, the lowest concentration of oxygen at the very end of the pipe. In the vascular system, this is at the venous end of the capillaries, just before the blood starts the return journey to the heart.
Ardenne and Leowe, discovered chokes exactly here, at the area of lowest oxygen concentration. The chokes were small enough to limit blood flow, but big enough to allow enough plasma to pass.
This was the magic recipe for stuck. It was enough to keep the tissue alive, but not enough to thrive — Stuck cell stress.
Cell Distress
Body cells fed by the capillaries enter progressive process of distress after capillaries choke.
Reduced diameter forces these cells to survive on plasma, which still fits through reduced diameter. Plasma carries glucose, so cells switch to anaerobic or energy power to survive.
Distress progresses as body cell:
- Energy decreases from 19 to 1, without oxygen;
- So performance decreases by the same;
- Anaerobic cells stop producing carbon dioxide
- So capillaries valves remain shut;
- Anaerobic cells produce acids;
- so acids accumulate in the region,
- and the area becomes permanently acidic;
- and the area remains permanently distressed.
Distress Accumulates
These events creates a local weakness, anywhere, and eventually everywhere in the body when they pile up.
The role and location of each distressed area determines effect. Cell weakness erodes performance and acidic waste causes irritation, and local pH imbalance.
As more of the body enters distress, vitality decreases, and health issues emerge.
Distressed tissue:
- In muscle is sore and weak;
- In the brain causes motor or cognitive dysfunction;
- In immune system incrases infection vulnerability;
- and so on.
Large amounts of distressed tissue create body-wide effects which interfere with glucose, pH and other regulatory systems. We will address these effects later.
Long Term Distress
These distress effects from capillary chokes tend to be permanent because the metabolic circumstances which reverse them rarely occur.
Remember plasma oxygen we talked about earlier?
In the next section we will explain how to use it to release tissue distress.
