Blood test

The 2014 Panorama film also featured Professor Marks' findings that hypoglycemia in the sick and elderly was not as rare as once imagined.

It also looked at another scientific detail, the immunoassay blood test that had been taken when Ethel Hall fell into a coma.

It was that immunoassay which had indicated she'd been poisoned.

At Colin Norris's trial, neither the prosecution nor the defence had disputed the fact that someone must have deliberately injected her with insulin.

Before his retirement and long before Ethel Hall's death, Professor Marks had established and run the Guildford Laboratory, which performed this test, so he knew their processes intimately.

The focus of his concern wasn't the test that produced the single result, but that further tests weren't then undertaken, which would have definitively established what had led to Ethel Hall's coma.

So you have grave concerns about the way that Ethyl Hall's blood test was investigated?

It could have been done better, and it should have been done better.

So 5.4 and lower.

If you're above it, I said to a lady, she had her blood work with her on her phone the other night at the seminar.

She showed me her blood work.

And I said, well, you're on the Titanic.

You and carbs don't get along.

My goal is to educate.

Educate so that you, you are equipped.

to look at your own blood work.

It never says you're missing the medication because medication is not natural.

The body says, hey, you've done blood tests.

This is what you're missing.

Put this in there.

I need to know.

Oh, come on.

Then I get blood tests, blood tests, like his prostate, like 80 years old man.

So the GPs, they have rules they have to go through, which I respect.

I went in.

I got my blood work done.

And I was pretty firm with them when I went in.

I'm not going to lie.

You would have to set up an actual nurse appointment to get your shots.

So I'm like, oh, cool.

Like, I'm sliding out of here blood work only.

Like, I'm not even really getting shots today.

Everyone knows today that insulin resistance is a big problem.

But how do you know that you have it? Do you have to go get blood work or are there certain things that you can tell anyway? Today we're going to talk about that and we're going to explain it so that you have a good understanding.

Coming right up.

When I started planning this video I wanted to see what was available in the medical world so I went online and I looked up the Mayo Clinic signs and symptoms of insulin resistance and I had to say I was surprised when the Mayo Clinic says that it generally has no signs and symptoms.

It's not so fun for the people who have it, but it's sort of interesting how far reaching these effects can be.

androgen there's an androgen shift in females the females turn more masculine that's an androgen shift and what happens there is there's a an enzyme called lyase that is up regulated by insulin and in females it has the tendency to convert estrogen into testosterone so the female body makes estrogen but the insulin starts a process to convert it into testosterone so now they have testosterone excess more testosterone than a female should have and this affects as many as 10% of the women in childbearing age because of that with the testosterone with a hormone imbalance then they can't get pregnant so this is actually the number one reason for infertility in the western world is insulin resistance they also get hirsutism or hirsutism however you want to pronounce that and what that is it's unwanted hair growth So males and females grow hair in slightly different places and especially males when they get older and they have more testosterone then the hair stops growing in places where you might want it and it starts growing more so in the places you don't want it such as out of the ears and out of the nose and on the chin.

so with females getting this androgen shift and this testosterone dominance they start getting that same kind of unwanted hair growth in males the opposite thing happens so in males there is something called aromatase upregulation so it's a different enzyme but it's the same sort of effect but opposite so insulin resistance a lot of insulin upregulates aromatase which in men converts testosterone to estrogen so it's the the kind of the same problem but opposites females turn more masculine and men turn more feminine as a result of that with too much estrogen then men can get erectile dysfunction and they can get what's commonly known as man boobs and we did a video on that and explained that in a little more detail also and it's so important to understand these principles because a lot of guys go in and get their blood work and they get a hormone panel and they see that they're low in testosterone So they give them a cream, a testosterone cream to start rubbing, but in the presence of insulin, they're just upregulating their aromatase and all the testosterone that they're rubbing in the cream gets converted into estrogen.

So they're just making the problem worse if they don't understand this.

If you

want clean blood work, you go to Reagan.

Mine was messy in April, which is annoying because like my wife eats whatever she wants and her blood works perfect.

I'm like, Tell me what to eat when you go to bed.

I'm a compliant person.

I'm hiking.

Hiking in here.

So if you want clean blood work, you go to Reagan.
