KEEP IN MIND:
• following analysis is including only subjects with patological values of parameters in the first test made and their change during the study
• larger study with longer period of time is warranted to fully analise changes
• why was it important?
We had to know there was no ANY harm to health condition
Sedimentation speed increased:
94%

Sedimentation speed
Decreased
Same
• Inflammation
• Infection
• Viral infection
• Kidney, bone, joint, or heart valve infections
• Autoimmune diseases
• Cancer etc.
Increased values of cholesterol:

• Eating too much saturated fat
• Being owerweight
• Being inactive
• Age

• 3-6 months needed to lower it

• Atherosclerosis leading to heart attack and stroke
• Obesity

Urinary tract infection

38%
Urinary tract infection
No bacteria
Some bacteria
• Mostly caused by bacteria
• Burning feeling
• Frequent or intense urge to urinate
• Changes of color and smell of urine
• Fever
• Women > men
Conclusion
• Blood pressure, heart rate and level of glucose in the blood were constantly approaching physiological values after the visit
• Laboratory testing showed as good results as it was possible for a short period of time (metabolism of lots of selected parameters is slow and takes time to significantly change)
• Analysis of subjective scales showed excellent results- all the subjects felt extremly better after the study
• Larger study is warranted and hopefully will be done after finding sponsorship
