Abstract: A chocolate mixture comprising chocolate, preferably dark chocolate and an antioxidant mixture which includes: Ingredient Minimum Maximum Betacarotene 2000 IU 6000 IU Vitamin E Succinate 1185 IU/g 200 IU 400 IU Vitamin C 100 mg 400 mg Vitamin D3 200 IU 400 IU Vitamin K1 20 ?g 80 ?g Coenzyme Q10 20 mg 100 mg CURCUMAX?™ Curcumin Extract 100 mg 300 mg in Oil The antioxidant mixture makes up from about 4% to about 8% of the weight of the combination of chocolate and mixture. Other additives, such as fruit, nuts and candies may also be added, but their weight is not factored into the calculation of the relative proportion of chocolate to antioxidant mixture.

Abstract: Method for determining the presence of a malady in a patient by measuring the degree of reaction of individual types of white blood cells (basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes) in the patient's blood. The degree of reaction of each type of white blood cells is determined by comparing the volumetric size distributions of the types of white blood cells before and after exposure to suspected reactants. Positive results of a change in the volumetric size distribution of the individual types of white blood cells in response to exposure to a specific reactant indicates the presence of a specific malady, such as an allergic reaction to the suspected reactant.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of measuring the total volume of solids in a suspension, comprising the steps of: establishing a potential across a predetermined spatial volume; passing a portion of the suspension through the predetermined spatial volume; substantially continuously measuring the potential across the predetermined spatial volume over a first predetermined period of time; comparing the measured potential with a baseline; and calculating the total volume of solids in the suspension as a function of a total absolute deviation of the measured potential from the baseline. The baseline is preferably a dynamic baseline, and is determined with reference to the starting point of a sharp rise in the measured potential.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of detecting reaction in blood caused by the presence of a foreign substance in the blood, comprising the steps of: establishing a potential across a predetermined spatial volume; passing a first portion of the blood through the predetermined spatial volume; substantially continuously measuring the potential across the predetermined spatial volume over a first predetermined period of time; comparing the measured potential with a baseline; and calculating the total volume of solids in the first portion of the blood as a function of a total absolute deviation of the measured potential from the baseline. The same procedure is then followed with a second portion of the blood, after it has been exposed to the substance whose reaction is being determined. The two calculations are then compared, with a positive reaction being indicated when the two measured solid volumes are measurably different.

Abstract: Briefly stated, the invention is directed to a method for the diagnosis of a malady in a subject by the observing of a degree of reaction between the leukocytes in the subject's blood with a foreign entity having a predetermined relationship with the malady being diagnosed.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for the diagnosis of a malady in a subject by observing a degree of reaction between all blood cells: red blood cells, leukocytes and platelets; in the subject's blood with a foreign entity having a predetermined relationship with the malady being diagnosed. The test includes comparing amounts and sizes of red blood cells, leukocytes and/or platelets in a control sample and at least one test sample. The test sample includes a portion of the subject's blood and the foreign entity being tested.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the objective determination of the degree of reaction between a suspected allergen and a blood sample, by comparing the number and/or size-distribution of white blood cells present in the blood sample before and after reaction thereof with the suspected allergen.
