Neutrophil levels

[Guest guest]

I just this post about colon inflamation. When I was in my sick building I

also had a lot of intestinal problems. Had a colonoscopy done and was told I

had colitis. It was very uncomfortable and frightening. Couldn't give me a

reason except stress. I didn't chew ice but I was never without an ice cold

drink

usually water, caffeine free tea or coke.Interesting I never thought about

the cold drinks just thought it was excessive thirst.

Hi Barb,

The neutrophils were tested as part of a routine CBC in recent blood

work here.

Regarding paleness...others who have had exposures have noted that

paleness goes away somewhat with Nystatin. Anyone else have the

paleness go away with certain treatments, supplements?

Interesting that you should mention the ice chewing. I was chewing a

lot of ice post exposure until my dentist told me I was wearing down

my enamel on the teeth.

I too had a colonoscopy and endoscopy after getting out of my sick

building and all the doctor would state was very inflammed. I asked

why. She said " We don't know why. " Told me to take Prevacid.

I've been doing digestive enzymes instead since exposure which I

believe is helping tolerate other foods that I couldn't eat after I

was exposed.

Does Dr. Croft think that digestive enzymes can help heal the lining?

Makes sense though to chew ice to deal with soothing the

inflammation.I have had problems with anemia too. Interesting

connections. Thanks for sharing

Dr Croft, Re: digestive damage: avoidance and detoxify.

Avoid exposure to toxins, damage accumulates, detoxify to stop the

damage. I've read the tissue of digestive tract is quicker to heal

than other body tissues but I have continuing gi troubles that don't

seem to be improving. Last fall I was really feeling well, appetite

improved, more energy, was staying at a $40 a day extended stay but

moved to a temporary apt to save money but health slide very badly.

After doing some extensive cleanup of apartment I am doing better

but so I have a house that I can't take and an apartment that isn't

real healthy either *apparently*..i.e. if I keep door closed without

my air cleaner going, has strong organic odors. I got apartment to

point I was doing pretty good in winter but when summer came in,

health status has slide and accidentally leaving air cleaner off,

realized apartment didn't smell alright, so going to have to move

AGAING.

Idea is to finish my porch which is completely outside house

envelope and no mold but really outside living right now which I

couldn't take, but meeting with someone to plan the 20X10 room,

shell is already there, but just screens.

Since popcycles and ice cream have sugar, going to try to move on to

shaved ice. Figure cooling the gi tract must be helpful. I've been

making homemade popcycles out of fruit juice lately.

Ice chewing as a symptom of anemia/iron deficiency referred to in

reference materials like Mayo Clinic. I was shocked.

Hi Salz, I had people tell me I was white as a ghost, and I cant say if

herbal detox did much for the paleness as I had to stop use after about

a month and was still very ill. I still get very pale when something

gets to me and I fell like passing out but thats not the same as the

blood leaves my head and it turns white. I have problems with sunlight

glare and heat intolerance and some days just cant breath out side so I

no longer naturally tan from being outdoors alot. I was always so tan I

dont know if anyine would know if my paleness is from illness or just

not being out enough to tan at this point. but those that know me do

make comments about how pale I look. I know some days I'm paler than

others depending on how well I fell.

a cbc includes a neutrophil count

Salz,on the neutrophils level, aplastic anemia is found by bone marrow

buopsy. as thats where they are derived from. I think levels found in

blood or other testing may vary alot, like exposed vd. bo longer

exposed,ect. neutrophils are vrought to the site where damage is

accuring to kill the invader, like mycotoxins distroying a spot if your

mucus lineing, say in your stomach. read that they are not part of

granulomas as they get disposed of by necrosis, I had dead cells in my

urine during exposure and awhile afterwards, doctors noted it but

didn't lnow why and didn't think to have them tested but I'm fairly

sure they were neutrophils. as most everything esle can stay at the

site and be part of grauulomas abcesses.

Many yrs. ago I worked at a hospital and attended the weekly rounds with

some of the Drs. One (I think Korean) would always drink a cup of warm water

while everyone else drank coffee or tea. He said it was good for you. It all

makes sense to me.

Sue

in 2004, , the person who has the best protocol for liver

flushes, told me that drinking cold beverages shocks your kidneys,

which makes sense 'cause our body temp is normally 98.6. she said the

best temp for drinking anything is warm, 2nd best = room temp. another

tip she gave me is to drink 2 cups warm water upon waking...this will

help clear out the intestines & kidneys. going on 3 years now and i'm

a believer.

you could maybe try a good digestive enzyme like Total-Gest.

My best friends' father was a doctor and she told me she didn't drink

icy beverages since the cold wasn't good for her. I assumed she got

that from her Dad. It was when we were late teens, and not really

into " healthy things " ...you take health for granted at that age and

constantly testing the boundaries of that or I did anyway, so I

doubted she was reading up on that. Anyway, I stopped putting ice

into beverages and didn't miss it. learned to prefer cold but not icy

and have done so all my life. I don't even ever make ice cubes. I

happen not to be too fond of ice cream. That is why the ice cream/

popcycle seemed weird to me until I read that.

As for warm water in a.m. I took care of my great aunt who lived to

be 4 months passed 100 (I took care of her for 12 years so I will take

partical credit for her long life too), but she took very good care of

herself, never went to a doctor, saying " they can't make you

well " ..she was so smart. Of course usually can't or not interested in

making you well, but sometimes... Anyway a neighbor and friend of

hers, husband was a doctor and he told her to drink a cup of hot water

in the morning to rinse system out. I thought it was hot but of

course drinking temperature. She did that every morning. However she

also drank coffee afterwards. Basically she ate 3 meals a day, ate

plenty of nuts I remember -cashews she liked the most, got plenty of

exercise by way of habits she had, slept like a LOG, like 11-12 hours

a night. I always thought she was faking and would check on her and

she was really sleeping, from 11 pm to about 11 am. She was a lucky

gun really. Had good genes, took care of herself, low stress in life

(inherited money when she was 15) and smart as they come.

The warm water suggestion reminded me of her.

Yes, I too have had an upper endoscopy with the same result;

diagnosed with chronic gastritis / inflammation and I too (in the

summer) chew lots of ice.

I asked my private doctor about this and he said the endoscopy was a

waste of time (unless you have some other health problem going on

other than mold) because neither upper or lower looks at the small

intestines where you actually absorb nutrients.

It sounds like we are all having the same treatments done with the

same results.... Not getting many helpful answers from these doctors.
