His study confirmed that the flesh and blood were of human

The type AB blood means that the owner of the blood was born out of the
normal biological union of a man and a woman. The possibilities of pairing
of blood types of the father and mother, respectively, were as follows: A
and B, A and AB, B and A, B and AB or AB and AB.
****There are type AB blood groups among different people, especially in the
Near East. From investigations upon the miracle since 1574, there is
evidence of the
Eucharistic miracle at Lanciano to this day. In 1970-1971, Professor Odoardo
Linoli, eminent
Professor in Anatomy and Pathological Histology and in Chemistry and
Clinical Microscopy, and
Professor Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena, conducted a
scientific investigation into the miracle. The report was published in
Quaderni Sclavo di Diagnostica Clinica e di Laboratori in 1971, and
reaffirmed by a scientific commission appointed by the Higher Council of the
World Health Organization in 1973. The following conclusions were
drawn: a. The Flesh of the miracle is real Flesh and the Blood is real
Blood.
b. The Flesh and the Blood belong to the human species.
c. In the Flesh we see present in section: the myocardium, the
endocardium, the vagus nerve and also the left ventricle of the heart for
the large thickness of the myocardium. The Flesh is a heart complete in its
essential structure.
d. The Flesh and the Blood have the same blood type, AB, which is also
the same blood type found on the Shroud of Turin and all other Eucharistic
Miracles.
e. In the Blood there were found proteins in the same normal proportions
(percentage-wise) as are found in the sero-proteic make-up of the fresh
normal blood.
f. In the Blood there were also found these minerals: chlorides,
phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium.
g. There is no trace whatsoever of any materials or agents used to
preserve the Flesh or Blood.
The Flesh and Blood of the miracle can still be seen today. The Host-Flesh,
which is the same size as the large Host used today in the Latin Church, is
fibrous and light brown in colour, and becomes rose-coloured when lighted
from the back. The Blood consists of five coagulated globules and has an
earthly colour resembling the yellow of ochre.
***Studies on the blood of Christ have revealed that Jesus had only 23
chromosomes plus one for a male
or the additional Y determinant making a total of 24. There is no human
being today in the
world who has 24 chromosomes in their blood, only Christ has this to
indicate that He is the Son of God ('the true God') and the Son of
Mary, the human mother, who donated His Body. I still need more research on
this point.
Virginal conception of Jesus in based on documentary, historical,
theological evidence. It is better if it can be confirmed scientifically.
Gospels speak of the
historical tradition, namely that Mary conceived before she went to live
together with her legal husband,
Joseph (Mt 1:18; Lk 1:34-35).
