ANEMIA

    Insufficient red blood cells and/or hemoglobin cause fatigue and lack of motivation. Blood loss due to hemorrhage somewhere within the body or decreased production of red blood cells are the two causes. There are several conditions that result in anemia. Iron deficiency due to poor nutrition is most common in teenage girls and the elderly. Those with anorexia, starvation or bulimia-style eating disorders also suffer from anemia since they fail to get the irons and vitamins into their system that can begin to assure some semblance of good health.
Heavy menstrual flow is often associated with anemia. Drugs such as aspirin thin the blood and can cause micro-hemorrhage in the gastrointestinal tract. This could cause anemia, especially in women who use this medication for menstrual pain and cramps. Copper, Zinc, protein and B vitamins are essential for a healthy supply of red blood cells. Deficiencies of any of these can lead to various types of anemia, which are often difficult to diagnose. A sudden drop in red blood cells (hemolytic anemia) or hemoglobin (hypochromic anemia) is one of the early warning signs of cancer. Infestation of bowel parasites from outdoor pets can also lead to anemia and malnutrition. Often, anemia can only be clearly identified by a complete blood chemistry and blood cell study.
    * Avoid over-the-counter drugs. Ask your doctor about the side effects of any prescription medications. Eat an adequate amount of raw fruit and veggetables, whole grains, and fish. Take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex, CellWise, ProVex and/or ProVex-Plus regularly to supplement the iron and essential nutrients that are needed to ensure adequate red blood cell building blocks. Drink two cups of Melaleuca Herbal Tea each day to maximize kidney detoxification. Get 20 minutes of moderate exercise five time times each week to adequately oxygenate the body.
