Re: Re: calcium supplements and effect on iron absorption - bloods not showing this?

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sally -am getting a little lost in this conversation as to how this applies to me. My RBC was above the maximum range in the last blood test which was taken when I felt really really poorly.. I have suffered with a low temperature for the last 10years but my RBC has always been well within range.. At my best my temperature may rise to 36.4 but when ill it will drop lower.. For example when I was feeling really poorly it dropped to 35.6 last week. This morning feeling better it's 36.4. Tomorrow is doc day so will asking for bloods on my ferritin etc....

As Hypothyroids if we continue to have a low body temperature then our body is unable to make RBC's; that is the bone marrow slows/stops its function.

A study done on rats demonstrated this very well. Rats tails are very cold and the bone marrow is dormant. For the study the tips of the rats tails were sewn inside the abdomen of the rat. This of course allowed the temperature of the rats tail and the bone marrow of the tip of the rats tail to increase. Bingo the bone marrow previously dormant began to produce RBC's simply due to the rise in temperature.

As Hypo's our temperature is often below normal and this affects many aspects of our body's normal function including the production of RBC's in our bone marrow...resulting in anaemia.

I think it may have been someone who replied to your post then....sorry bout that Ange.

Thats interesting....perhaps it depends on how long or something like that....but for sure many aspects of your body require 'normal' body temp to work at optimal level......Be interesting to know what your RBC's looked like?.....I'm not an expert on bloods though!!!!! tehe. xxx

Thanks Sally -am really appreciative all the support you are giving. Now I posted earlier some of my results under a different thread because for some reason it wouldn't go through on this one.....can't find the link to the thread now cos it's not appeared! Think there's gremlins in the system! Anyway my doctor told me that I had failed the random plasma glucose test he had performed on me....Hmm Looked at the levels quoted on the print out he gave me -and I thought my result fell into range according to what was written down. So I checked and am right! He has misread the results. OMG -please could I have his pay. He scared me-thinking I might be diabetic. Anyway my result was 6.3mmol/L reference level is<11.1mol/Lrandom. According to http://healthy-ojas.com/diabetes/rpg-test.html that means I am not diabetic. Alleyluya! Good job I took it on myself to check!

Am sorry but my faith and trust just gets lower and lower....
