Have you got a photo of your Blood?

 Blood microscopy is very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. Live blood cell microscopy is gaining popularity in Canada and now available in almost every city. Although live cell microscopy was invented 780 years a go, only with the recent advent of a video camera and monitor did it become possible for client to become involved by observing the immediate test results on the screen. This expanded technology is mainly responsible for the growing popularity of a live blood test.

In live blood analysis, a small drop of blood is taken from the fingertip and placed on a slide under a darkfield microscope. The patient and practitioner would view the blood cell in ‘live view’ in front of the computer monitor. With the blood specimens not being stained, we can observe the blood in its natural terrain environment against an in-direct light source.

(Note: stained sample would have killed the blood cells)

This test may be of value in the early assessment of; 

Any health problem of unknown cause

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Compromised Immunity

Cardiovascular or Stroke family history

Anemia

Yeast related health issue

Blood microscopy is indicated for anyone that would like preventative medicine, even for those in good health as well. Moreover, it is also particularly useful in tracking patient's response over time to their treatments indicating at the earliest moment a need to change their medication or therapy. Finally, and most importantly, we can watch over time how a patient is responding to their treatment.

In itself, live blood screening with microscopy is not a diagnostic procedure. However, it can often point you in a direction to take for further diagnostic testing.

Generally through live blood microscopy, we can determine;
  Sluggish immune system
∙ Liver, heart and pancreas stress
∙ Nutritional status : low vitamins and minerals
∙ Possibilities of parasites / candida
∙ Digestive issues  
∙ Atherosclerotic predisposition
∙ Toxicity and pH imbalances
  Signs of excess free radical and oxidative damage
∙ Predisposition to chronic and degenerative disease
