We Need a Blood Arsenic Detector.

Yes, that’s exactly what you read in the title: We Need a Blood Arsenic Detector.

There is a strong relationship between the level of arsenic in the blood and the production of ATP, which is the energy currency our body uses to carry out mitosis and meiosis, the processes of cellular reproduction. There is also significant evidence that when arsenic levels in the blood are elevated, phosphates—essential for ATP production—are altered.

Chemistry and Biochemistry teach us that everything in excess is harmful, and everything lacking is unreasonable. We have a maximum level of 12 nanograms of arsenic in the body, which we can call a “block” here to make this explanation more didactic. In relation to cancer, for example, it is impossible to analyze isolated parts of the body; therefore, the nomenclature of “organic block” is more appropriate, since each of us has a specific range of need for this element—arsenic—in our body.

In the future, detecting the onset of cancer will be much simpler, similar to how blood sugar detectors work for diabetes. With this, one could say that the electronic signature of arsenic can be monitored by the detector so that, in case of anomalies, further tests can be performed for a more precise and timely prognosis. This arsenic test should be carried out as a routine exam, just like iron tests in the blood, which are useful for addressing anemia.

With the technology we have today, developing the detector is not difficult, nor is its operation dangerous. All health precautions are taken by examiners in cases involving the disposal of biological material, and there are no changes regarding arsenic detection tests. My studies are leading me to the clear observation that arsenic is directly linked to the production of cancer cells, and the faster the detection, the more accurate and easier the prophylaxis becomes—something currently being developed by those engaged in this battle.

All types of cancer, without exception, are numbered in days, and for that, we need to take the first step toward more precise and solid detection—not to mention the incredible speed that can be achieved with routine exams. The structure of the equipment is not very complex or complicated; detection strips are likely made of phosphates, and voltmeters of steel. What remains to be defined—and will be addressed in a later post—are the calculations to determine whether 6 nanograms of arsenic in the blood is ideal, since the observed tolerance limit is 12 nanograms.

All of us, researchers and participants in this cause, must orient ourselves regarding this matter, since there are clear records that the amount of arsenic interferes with the process of cellular energy production. This means that our survival is at risk when this element is either deficient or saturated in the blood, because—even though it is a “poison” to carbon structures—arsenic is an essential element for life. With that, I conclude this post, promising to bring more relevant data in the future. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, I’ll stop here for now—until next time.
