Live Cell Microscopy: Window to a Hidden World.
Live cell microscopy is best used as a screening test to help determine the optimal diet and natural therapies for a given individual with inconsistent symptoms, such as chronic illness.
Analysis of the blood by the microscope is as old as the practice of medicine itself. The main advantage of live blood microscopy is that many imbalances can be detected before standard chemical blood tests show any abnormalities. Health problems can then be more accurately addressed by early intervention, which takes into consideration all aspects of a patient or clients needs, with particular emphasis on an integrated approach.
Live blood observation is different from regular blood analysis because it uses whole blood as opposed to just parts of the blood and only requires a single drop.
This blood is unstained and higher a magnification is used. Stain obliterated particles will not show up on typical conventional dead cell microscopy. The blood that is viewed directly by the technician is live, in contrast to blood viewed in conventional microscopic evaluation. This enables the technician to see much more than could possibly be seen by the conventional method, such as:
- free radical damage to red blood cells
- white blood cell size / shape abnormalities and low viability (movement)
- active bacteria
- parasites
- yeast / fungi
- evidence of undigested protein and fat
- indicators for digestive enzyme and hydrochloric acid deficiencies
- some abnormalities associated with hormonal imbalances
- indicators for folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiency and low iron
- uric acid accumulation (crystalline forms) may be indicative of high risk for gout and joint pain.
- poor circulation and abnormal blood clotting
- dehydration
When coupled with standard blood tests, live blood microscopy provides more detailed results to practitioners, resulting in a more thorough understanding of any previous diagnosis made by a licensed doctor.
