Microscopy

The phase contrast blood assessment and brightfield live and dry blood analysis are used as a screening test to monitor metabolic dysfunction, thereby taking the guesswork out of diet determination and the selection of an appropriate supplementation regime.

The tests are carried out by extracting a minute amount of capillary blood from the fingertip and placing it on a microscope slide and then observing it through two different optical modalities of a high powered microscope. This technique enables a microscopist as well a client to observe and analyze the features of the blood terrain via video monitor.
Among the phenomena observed in the live and dry blood are:

The level of activity or lack of activity of the immune system

The condition of the red blood cells Liver, kidney, pancreatic, heart, lung, prostate, ovarian, breast and other organ stress

Detection of the presence of parasites, yeast, fungus, mold, and the degree of pleomorphic activity

Observation of features associated with blood sugar imbalance
