Acidic body vs Alkaline body
Neutral PH is 7. Less than 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline. Acidic body is more prone to diseases. As in the case of dengue, when PH of sample was correlated with dengue patient, it showed strong correlation.
Which foods children be given?
Children are the future of our country. Least physical exercises and eating junk foods have greatly depreciated their stomach functionality along with blood production problems. This would lead to DNA rupture. Parents should look for organic food. Eat, as we say, desi eggs, desi chicken and also pay careful attention to have actual milk and butter.
Message on coronavirus
Number of coronavirus patients has started increasing exponentially in Pakistan as well. You should keep in mind a person without any coronavirus symptoms can be coronavirus carrier. Stay home, stay safe.
Neutral PH is 7. Less than 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline. Body should be alkaline to avoid diseases. The water to drink should have PH of greater than 7. Chlorine mixed water that we get in taps isn’t monitored carefully so be sure to check the PH before drinking. Also the companies, manufacturing bottled water, also write PH and one should check before purchasing.
What is the function of platelets in the body?
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are a component of blood whose function is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.
Words to thank to authorities
Dr. Zafar Iqbal, on behalf of people of Pakistan, pays his thanks to China Aid and the government of Pakistan on taking good precautionary steps for stopping coronavirus spread.
How many experts are available for diagnosing coronavirus?
Unfortunately, doctors or expert technicians’ number is rather little. Blood film method is reliable as compared to machines.
In my previous interviews, as in the case of dengue, I alarmed doctors who were giving dengue patients platelets without observing the film but only relying on the machine results. Machine doesn’t provide the actual count of platelets. Later on, deaths occurred not because of dengue but platelets clotting in heart and/or brain.
How to avoid coronavirus?
World has faced many viruses e.g. chickenpox, measles, hepatitis, MERS, ebola, rabies, and recently dengue. They were deadly at their times. I, being the hematologist, observe the blood sample of patient, under a microscope, and then can confidently say whether or not the patient is infected.
Are we going to repeat the same mistakes as we did in dengue?
Yes, I’m afraid it’s true. I have seen hospitals expelling their patients (including critical ones) only because they had a few symptoms of coronavirus. They expelled even without testing and deaths occurred later on.
Follow the guidelines mentioned by government institutions, research centers and international forums. Don’t get panic. Together, we all will eliminate the novel coronavirus by social distancing.
People who are facing diseases e.g. leukemia, thalassemia, diabetes and so on, require regular doctoral checkups and tests. At the moment, coronavirus has restricted everyone’s life at home and hospital visits for checkups and laboratory tests are badly affected too. Due to limited movement, several deaths may occur other than coronavirus. I, hereby, demonstrate the method for taking blood sample and further, making a blood slide (or blood film) by yourself at your own home. Later, you may send this blood slide to us for testing via courier and we’ll contact you for your reports. Please watch the following video demonstration for making a blood slide:
The whole world is under the attack of the novel coronavirus. It is always wise to make a blood film in order to diagnose any (blood-related) disease and/or checking the behavior of the external agent in the body. As a hematologist, I know the blood film of a patient under the attack of various viruses e.g. hepatitis, dengue, measles and so on, shows that lymphocytes and monocytes move and also show a change in color. But in the case of coronavirus, I have not come across any official blood film of CBC. Through this platform, I request if anybody knows which cells are getting affected please inform me or if possible, send me the blood film. With the vast experience, I could possibly find out if someone has coronavirus only through one single blood film.
