Yep, that's my conclusions - we've looked at blood from about a dozen

healthy volunteers, as well as 5 or 6 sickies. All samples develop this

effect after a period of time. All my photos are taken 12 hours or more

after the slide was prepared. No preparation, no staining, just blood

from a finger prick.

I also observe that normal controls have these red blood cells. But

I think everyone has a certain degree of compromisation by bacteria.

I feel old age is a growing chronic infection problem.

The reason why I studied these acanthocytes was because they were

more observable in my MS cousins blood and to a lesser degree in

mine. The healthy controls- any relative that would give me blood,

had way lesser amounts to possably non. This is someone doing a

blood slide and stain within a minute of the blood drying.

The other major topic along the same lines was andy wrights first

videoshowing these red blood cells sprout filamentous forms which

were called lyme bacteria originally? The excitement came from the

fact that these filamentous forms seemed to create the spikes in the

blood cell like it was parasitized.

I feel strongly that this should be considered something to keep an

open mind on and not give it the thumbs down if your blood is

swarming with these critters.Itactually held my fascination for a

while and I am not willing to let go of this with a whim-it must be

an artifact that means nothing.
