"YOUR BLOOD NEVER LIES" bt James LaValle, RPh

The title of this library book grabbed me as I went into the WB Public Library this afternoon. Because I have a "vested" interest  in blood I spent a couple of hours reading the do's and dont's

 of proper nutrition. Boy, are we off of the mark.


The titles read Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, Glucose, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Chloride, Carbon Dioxide, Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Billirubin, Red Blood Cells, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit.


Essentially you should be a medical student to understand the lingo but I must tell you I learned a lot in the time I spent reviewing it. I have been exposed blood since 2003. The good doctors at Mass General Hospital, Boston,  have total records on my condition of myelodysplasia ( low blood counts.) Wednesday I return to Boston for a checkup.


I am amazed on what we can learn from the study of blood. I think we are all guilty in eating and drinking the wrong stuff for the wrong reasons.  Booze and tobacco are the culprits as is obesity. Our systems are so sophisticated today. 100 years ago and even 50 all we had was the Wonder Drug! Today I wonder how many more are going to be prescribed to yours truly?


After reviewing parts of the book I have come to realize all the junk food we consume is just plain BAD! Eat this don't eat that.. enough!


Had my oil changed at Ken's Today in East Brookfield, then made w/ date with the NB Senior Center. Chicken Pot Pie was served at both the NBSC and the WBSC. Gas is the cheapest at Citgo in Ware $2.169! The price range is all over the map.


If you are curious about BLOOD check out the book. I like the direction it is giving me.... we always blame everything but fail to accept responsibilities. OKay, Google! LOL.
