How To (Really) Read A Blood Chemistry
Part 3: Alkaline Phosphatase, Lactic Dehydrogenase

by Dr. Regan Golob, DC

 

Alkaline Phosphatase: (65-80)

An enzyme that is liberated by the metabolism of minerals and water at the cellular level. Traditional view sees this only in relation to bone cells, since in osteoblastic bone pathologies mineral metabolism is significantly altered and the enzyme may be dramatically elevated. Again, remember priorities. Is it better to have strong bones and die from acidic blood, or rob minerals from the bones and ligaments to help buffer the blood so as to stay alive a little longer?

I see Alkaline phosphatase as a read on the adrenal glands and the exchange of minerals across bone cell membrane via the secretion of mineral corticoids and by the uterus / prostate via their influence over body water balance (dilute or die) through their control of selenium.

Refer back to this section after the discussion of electrolyte physiology.

High Alkaline Phosphatase::

indicates an acid gland (hyperfunction) and alkaline blood system, by default, due to the fact the body has started to use ammonia to help get rid of excess protein. This can indicate the start of chronic degenerative dis-ease processes.

Test for use: Wachters' Formula C, DynamiteŽ Athletic Formula , DynamiteŽ Zinc Plus for Men (males) or DynamiteŽ Manganese Plus (females) according to gender, and eliminate animal protein.

Low Alkaline Phosphatase:

indicates an exhausted adrenal system and acid blood often associated with vascular swelling, depression, fatigue.

Test for use: Waiora Essential Daily Nutrients and DynamiteŽ S.O.D. for the selenium.

 

Lactic Dehydrogenase: (150-170)

This one can vary according to the lab, some are 150-170 other labs are 75-95 this depends on their process of measuring.

When sugar and water are exchanged across a muscle cell interface, a by-product called lactic acid is produced. When this lactic acid combines in the venous blood with CO2 there is a hydrogen displacement.

Lactic acid picks up two hydrogens to become an enzyme. LDH is, therefore, the indicator of that organ most directly responsible for exchange of sugar and water at the cellular level, the pancreas. It is important to realize, however, that glucose metabolism is a complex phenomenon involving a series of organs.

High LDH

Indicates an excessively acid blood as the result of high amount of sugar which has not been exchanged. Acid blood forces water out into the urine (polyuria), into the blood vessel walls (cutting down circulation), into the aqueous humor (blurred vision), all the symptoms of diabetes.

Test for use: Wachters' Professional Formula C, Wachters' Phyterzyme, DynamiteŽ Izmine to reduce the acidity of the blood. The green drink along with Bieler's Broth* would be excellent.

Low LDH

Indicates low amount of blood sugar and slow response to change by the blood being alkaline by default (ammonia). This is responsible for retention of water and pancreatic hypoglycemia.

Test for use: Waiora Natural Fiber, DynamiteŽ Athletic Formula for chromium, and DynamiteŽ Elixir.  Do not consume flour products (bread, noodles, crackers, cereals).
