Knisely began by examining blood circulation in healthy animals. In all normal animals (including human beings) the red blood cells float separately in plasma like tiny fish in a rapid stream. They flow along freely and often so swiftly that the individual cells cannot be distinguished under a microscope. A normal red cell keeps to itself...
...Knisely was peering into the blood vessels of a monkey with malaria. He found a radical change in the red cells: instead of flowing independently, they were clumped together in sluggish masses. Knisely and his group went on to study the circulation in other diseased animals. Sure enough, sludged blood turned up in every animal and human being suffering from severe injury or disease. All told, they found red-cell clumping associated with over 50 conditions, from the common cold to hysteria...
...results may be "utterly devastating." The body's smallest blood vessels are barely wide enough to let a single red cell squeeze through. When red cells clump, they plug these bottlenecks and deprive tissues of food and oxygen. The tissue cells die. When sludged blood kills important tissues, the patient dies...
...Warren Shields, assistant professor of Pathology, called the use of radio-active isotypes to fight the cell-disease with atomic radiations "the most important advance in medical research since the invention of the microscope...
