Sebastien Murat reached 21g/dl of hemoglobin during his most intensive phase, which is the level that a seal has.
To boost your hemoglobin, take 20g of Spirulina per day (contains ferredoxin and other blood production stimulants), and also take 36mg of Ironsorb or 27-54mg of Ferrochel. Add Vit C, B6, 2mg Folic acid, and then take a daily sublingual of methylcobalamin (highly active B12--try iHerb.com).
Add to that hypoxic training of any kind several days per week, and you should notice results in as little as 2-3 weeks.
If you want to check your results, tell your doctor that you need bloodwork and get a complete blood count (CBC). Or go on ebay and buy a Hemocue B-Hemoglobin analyzer for $300.

In other words can we eat alkaline foods and take these suppliments and get the oxygen uptake and more Oxygen in the red blood cells YET have the release of O2 like acidic blood?
