As much as 90% of the protein requirement of an adult is for maintaining hemopoetic function. Three million erythrocytes, 900 trillion molecules of hemoglobin, are broken down every second by the spleen and macrophage cells, as they are responsible for protecting the body's functioning proteins. This process is dependent on the interstitial free fluid pressure functioning at a sub atmospheric pressure of -3 mm Hg. It is the sub atmospheric pressure caused by lymphatic flow, which causes fluid to move from the capillaries into the extracellular fluid spaces and then into the lymph channels. It is the movement of the lung (breath) that maintains the negative pressure of the lymphatic channels and cranium. Therefore, breath is especially important for any pattern relating to circulation of the blood or lymphatic system, the spleen, or immune function. Conditions associated with ineffectual breath and impaired oxygenation and lymphatic congestion include:
|
Anemias
|
Frequent infections
|
Lymphatic congestion
|
|
Autoimmune issues
|
High voice pitch
|
Swelling: non-traumatic
|
|
Blood clotting abnormalities
|
Immune function

Primary Nutritive: "Metabolic Support" supplies polysaccharides, chlorophyll, and slippery elm to increase lung compliance and oxygenation, thus supporting circulation of the blood and exchange of the respiratory gases.
Secondary Nutritive: "Anabolic Support" supplies cucumber, ginger, and parsley to support the functions of the spleen, lymphatic system and protein utilization.
