Blood Analysis (available from october 2010)
What Is It?
Blood analysis may reveal the presence of yeast, fungi, mould, hormonal imbalances, sugar intolerance, immune system activity, gastro-intestinal tract dysfunction parasites, bacteria activity somewhere in the body, damaged cells, and cholesterol crystals. Organ stress (liver, cholesterol, kidney, pancreatic, prostate, ovarian, breast) or imbalances associated with degenerative conditions can also be detected.
The size and shape of the red blood cells may indicate stress levels, nutritional deficiencies, digestive problems, absorption problems and the damaging effects of free radicals. You may find out why you are feeling tired, worn out, bloated or why you can't fall asleep at night, and more importantly, how to change it.
By watching your blood under the microscope and discussing what you see with the consultant, you can observe:
- The conditions of the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
- What it could mean for your health.
- Whether you are nutritionally deficient, and whether there are any indications of inefficient absorption and assimilation.
- Features associated with blood sugar imbalances.
- Features associated with cholesterol, triglycerides and uric acid.
- Free radical activity and cellular oxidation.
- The presence of possible microbial activity such as bacteria, yeast,parasites, fungi.
- Levels of toxicity and internal pollution.
- Features and early warning signs associated with degenerative conditions.
The consultant will recommend some nutritional and lifestyle adjustments and specific supplementation.
How Is It Done?
There are two types of analysis.
Live blood analysis – also known as live blood cell analysis, nutritional microscopy or sometimes darkfield microscopy biological terrain assessment, is fundamentally the analysis of living blood under an extremely powerful microscope connected to a camera. The test is carried out by extracting a minute amount of capillary blood from your fingertip and placing it on a microscope slide which is covered with a cover slip to protect it from the outside elements. The image from the slide is transmitted to a computer monitor and by using different modes: dark field, bright field and phase contrast video you can observe along with your consultant what the blood cells are revealing. Live blood analysis is an excellent means of viewing by microscope the red blood cells, various types of white blood cells, platelets, and blood plasma, just as they function in the body.
Unlike the normal test complete blood count (CBC) that you get from the doctor's, your blood is analyzed live and behaves as though it were inside the body. For example when you visit the doctor you have to have a syringe placed in your arm to remove blood. You normally have to wait some days or weeks for the results. However half an hour after the cells are taken from the body they are no longer living so what you get is a count of how many dead red blood cells how many dead white blood cells etc. Furthermore, the test tube the blood is held in is laced with an anti-coagulant, so the blood is not behaving as it would in the body.
Dry blood analysis using the Mycotoxic Oxidative Stress Test (MOST), where a drop of your blood is placed on a slide and allowed to clot for 30 seconds, can show abnormal conditions in the way the blood clots. In particular, the presence of sialic acid can be indicative of several disease conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, heart attack and stroke. In addition, current conditions such as hormonal and sugar imbalances, digestive dysfunction and organ stress can be detected.
