Albumin is the protein of the highest concentration in plasma responsible
for transporting many small molecules. (Calcium, progesterone, drugs
. . . ) It is also of prime importance in maintaining the oncotic
pressure of the blood (Keeping the fluid from leaking out into the
tissues. When administered intravenously albumin increases total
blood volume by drawing fluid from the extravascular tissues.).
Unlike small molecules such as sodium and chloride, the concentration
of albumin in the blood is much greater than it is in the extracellular
fluid. Albumin is synthesized by the liver,
therefore decreased serum albumin may be caused by liver
disease. It can also result from kidney disease, which allows albumin
to escape into the urine. Albumin has been shown to offer therapeutic
advantages in shock, acute liver failure,
burns, hypoproteinemia, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cardiopulmonary
bypass, neonatal hemolytic disease, renal dialysis, acute nephrosis,
erythrocyte resuspension, acute peritonitis, pancreatitis, mediastinitis
and cellulitis. Adverse reactions to albumin are rare. Decreased
albumin may also be explained by malnutrition or a low protein diet.*
When Lithium and Calcium are used together it dramatically reduces
practically all chronic inflammatory processes of the liver.
Further reports indicate the effects on kidney disorders and mood
swings which accompany many PMS and obesity patients.
Dr. Hans Nieper's theoretical explanations of the mechanisms behind
his stunning success in the clinical application of sophisticated
mineral transporters rely heavily on the concept of the fixed pore
mechanism of active transport. The theory called "fixed pore
mechanism" suggests that a carrier molecule, in this case Orotic
Acid (B-13), is attached to the compound being transported. This
research has lead to the creation of mineral chelates called orotic
acid chelates, or orotates which offers a 20 fold increase in utilizing
minerals.
