- Hey guys, there's a lot of talk lately
about how blood type O is less apt
to contract the Coronavirus.
So I thought it would be interesting to figure
out what our blood type is today.
We're gonna use the Eldon blood test,
and if that interests you, stick around.
(upbeat music)
All right guys, so today we're gonna use
the Eldon Laboratories blood test
to figure out whether your blood type is A, B, AB or O.
And then it'll also give us the RH factor to tell us
whether it's positive or negative.
If you get some value out of what I have to say,
please watch more of my videos.
But if you don't get any value out of it,
do not like this video and do not hit that subscribe button.
All right, let's get at it.
All right guys so we're gonna do
the test today from Eldon
and this is pretty cool.
The test looks pretty easy.
I've at least read through what we have to do,
and we're gonna get at that.
And in the meantime, I'm gonna talk a little bit
about things you may not know about your blood type,
how it can for some people put you at higher risk
of certain diseases or lower risk of other diseases.
There are so many variables that come into play with it,
that people believe your personality type
and your personality traits may be linked
to your blood type.
So we'll go over some of that too.
I want to keep this as short as possible.
And at the end, I'm going to tell you where I picked
up the blood test and how much it cost.
All right guys, so here's everything
we need to get it going.
I'm gonna move through this pretty quickly.
We have the Eldon sticks, which is what they call them.
The lancets, the little water droplet.
And that's about all we need.
I have alcohol pad
and some extra paper towel for my bleeding finger.
First, you're going to put a drop of water on to each one
without touching the dropper to the reagent.
So we take the lancet, clean off my finger.
I knew that would be what I forget to do.
And then you're gonna take the lancet,
hold it up against your finger,
(lancet snaps) (Joel grunts)
yeah, yeah, yeah, just like that.
(mocking grunts)
What we're gonna do is get a decent size
bit of blood there, probably a little bit more.
You're gonna take one of the Eldon sticks.
Get the blood on it and then take the stick
and put it into the water
and then you're gonna let it sit there.
Then you're gonna get some more blood.
And you're gonna put it on the second Eldon stick,
put it into the second one.
You're gonna keep going right down the line.
So just wanna make sure you don't touch any
of the sticks to any of the other ones.
Then once you've done that,
you want you to take each Eldon stick
and stir for 10 seconds.
Now, we're gonna let it dry.
And I will let you know the results
as soon as we're done with that.
All right guys, so while we're waiting for that to dry,
let's just talk quick about what you can learn
from your blood type.
So it turns out you have the four types
and then you have the RH factor,
and the RH factor has to do with a certain protein.
And if it's on your red blood cells, you're positive.
And if it's not there, you're RH negative.
So that's just part of the test to know your blood type,
whether you're RH positive or negative.
So if you're an AB blood type,
you're more than likely than any other blood type
to have memory issues when you're older.
If you're a type A, then you may have more cortisol
in your system and you may stress more than most people.
If you are blood type O, you're less apt to
have heart disease and you're less apt to have blood clots
than the other three types,
as well as you're probably going to be able to live longer.
The longest people they find have blood type O,
which is interesting because it's probably in part
because of the blood type A, AB and B
that have higher risk of heart disease.
So I actually found a study on blinking,
and it showed that people had O blood type
blink more than people with A or AB.
And in Japan, I understand in Korea,
it's a very big thing to know what type of blood type
you are as to what type of personality you have.
So all of that's really interesting.
All right, we should be dry by now.
So here's my card and how it came out.
And as you can see, I definitely in the first circle
coagulated there, in the second one I did not,
a little bit in the third
and then the control looks fairly normal,
but this if you put it up against the other template
will tell you that I'm A positive.
And I recall we did this in 10th grade in high school.
And if I recall right, I thought I wasn't A positive
so that's helpful, but now I know,
and I think it's good to know.
I think it's good to know for a lot of different reasons,
whether it's you're gonna give blood
or you want to know things
like the risk of certain diseases.
I think it's just very interesting to know.
I don't put a ton of weight on it
but I think it's interesting.
So that's pretty much it.
The one thing I didn't touch on
is probably the most important reason
to know your blood type is if you need to go to the hospital
and they need to do a blood transfusion
and give you blood, you don't want
that to be somebody else's blood type
because that can be fatal to the wrong blood type.
So it's really the reason why we check
and we do it all is to make sure that
you get a corresponding correct blood type
when you're given a transfusion.
I hope you thought this was helpful.
