A paper published last year (2021-11-26) confirms some of which I proposed in my previous article about RBCs and zeta potentials
Repost with reference to paper... and Ryan Cole's newest lab results
Drink more water to make blood less sticky. It has a lot to do with zeta potential and on overall ionic strength in blood, so please do read my article linked above for background. By the way, a hypotonic solution is “a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than another solution to which it is compared”.1
The most practical means of reducing blood viscosity in outpatients is oral hydration. Experimentally, drinking 250 cc of a hypotonic solution containing 21 mEq/l Na+, 7 mEq/l K+, 1 mEq/L Ca2+, 0.5 mEq/l Mg2+, 18.5 mEq/l Cl-, 10 mEq/l citrate3-, and 1 mEq/l lactate- at midnight prevented the expected peak blood viscosity at 0800 hours later that morning. In a representative subject, blood viscosity at 0800 decreased from 5.1 cP without hydration to 3.6 cP. Blood viscosity shows a circadian rhythm and peaks in the morning because glomerular filtration and urine formation while asleep cause hemoconcentration. This hemoconcentration causes the increased incidence of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction noted in the morning.
I find it interesting that hypotonic solutions make RBCs swell.
And that isotonic solution make RBC membranes rupture. So, I have to wonder what is going on besides their observation that drinking water can reduce blood viscosity. They write that ‘An increase in blood viscosity causes a threefold decrease in flow and tissue perfusion’, but what effect would bursting RBCs have on flow and perfusion?
I plan to dig deeper into this because I completely agree with their conclusions that water is awesome, but I want to know exactly what the water does to the blood/RBCs in the context of thrombotic-ness in the context of the spike protein. Stay tuned and enjoy this movie.
By the way, watch Ryan’s amazing demonstrations here. He shows at the end precisely what I am addressing in this article. I watched it today (Dec. 19, 2022) and it’s really good! Below is a screenshot of one of the last looks under his fancy microscope of a fresh blood sample exposed to Pfizer COVID-19 injectable product. The RBCs completely incapacitated - seen below as ‘spiky’ indicating that their proteins are projecting due to lost surface area.

A Midwestern Doctor has posted Substacks on this topic as well.
So if I drink 250cc of this fluid at midnight I can lower my chance of a morning stroke, which is good, but I'll be up every hour to pee, which is not good.
