Live Blood Cell Analysis

What is Live Blood Cell Analysis?

• Addresses nutritional needs by finding out which food types work best and which are causing ill health

• Targets and identifyies the correct nuttional and supplement needs for your body
• Identifies underlying health issues such as parasites, bacterial infections, yeast, plaque etc)
• Saves money on your supplement program

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 condition and quality of your red blood cells have a direct impact on your present and future health, with stress and disease appearing in the blood years before they manifest in the body. So what do your blood cells look like?

Live blood testing enables us to see your blood exactly as it behaves inside your body, giving a clear picture of your health at a cellular level. We are not looking for patterns that lead to a ‘diagnosis’ in any shape or form, but are merely looking for imbalances in the pH levels in your blood.

How is Blood Cell Analysis Performed?

A few drops of capillary blood are obtained from your fingertip using a sterile lancet. This is then placed on a slide covered with a cover slip to protect it from the outside elements. Your blood is then examined immediately under a very high powered microscope (magnified 20,000 times) and the results captured on camera, enabling you to view your live blood – still interacting and moving around – on a video screen alongside a qualified nutritional microscopist.

By analysing how your blood picture relates to the level of health challenges experienced by you, any needs and/or deficiencies relating to your nutrition can be easily identified. A specific tailor-made healthy eating plan is then prescribed using food as the medicine to restore your blood to a healthy condition by removing the excess acidity and toxins.

Live blood analysis is a unique health check which gives a clear picture of your true health and is the only way to detect certain conditions. It evaluates the internal environment known as the biological terrain and addresses areas of imbalance suggested by your blood pictures, but it is not considered diagnostic, i.e. it is not able to diagnose specific illnesses or other health problems. No medical test by itself is usually considered diagnostic without corroborating lab tests, imaging studies or a physical examination

Who is it For?

Live blood analysis is for everyone that really cares about their health and overall wellbeing. The test is suitable for young children right up to mature people in their seventies or above.

As “prevention is better than cure” it is not just for people who have health problems; it is equally beneficial to very healthy people who wish to remain so because it acts as an early warning system to the possible onset of disease.

Many of the common degenerative illnesses that exist in our modern society such as diabetes, gout, heart disease, ME and obesity can be directly linked to what we eat, drink and think. 

The quality and pH of your blood cells holds the key to your wellbeing. This blood test therefore allows you to take responsibility for – and control of – your own health by using food as a medicine, adopting the correct nutritional habits to prevent disease.

If, however, you are already ill or suffering from any of the chronic conditions shown below you will also benefit from live blood testing because you will gain a better understanding of the reasons and be able to make the necessary remedial nutrition and lifestyle changes.

Most conditions identified are ‘treated’ by adopting an alkaline diet designed to restore the body’s pH balance. This can also improve memory and has anti-ageing benefits.

One disease

We perceive there to be “one sickness, one disease” which is caused by the “over acidification of the blood and the tissues due to inverted ways of living, eating and thinking”. As such we do not recognise disease – merely clean, healthy blood or acidic, dirty unhealthy blood.

We can, however, see typical markers for the potential for particular diseases. After all, a person does not wake up one morning suddenly suffering from gout, diabetes, etc. Disease appears as stress in the blood years before manifesting as symptoms in the body. Through its ability to detect the potential for disease very early on, live blood analysis is therefore the ultimate preventative medicine tool available today.

General health and wellbeing
This could be called having a spark or a zest for life; waking up feeling refreshed, energized and positive about life. Again, this is directly linked to your blood and this is also an area in which we have had tremendous success.

Fitness, relaxation, rehabilitation, general wellbeing, increased energy or weight loss and control are just some of the most popular aims of our clients... why not add yours to the list!

Photos taken with a microscope of an actual Blood Cell Analysis

	Normal Red Blood Cell (RBCs) The circulatory system is the means by which oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and hormones are transported to the cells to keep them alive and functioning. This is how our blood looks when we are experiencing optimum health. The Erythrocytes (cells) are round and separated and move through the capillaries very easily. The average size of healthy RBCs is 7.2 microns
	Protein Linkage This condition is the first sign of cell stickiness and may progress into rouleau if not corrected. Protein linkage is a sign that excessive protein is being consumed or the protein is not being digested completely. As the cells start sticking together it becomes harder for the heart to push the blood through the veins and arteries.
	Rouleau When the blood gets to this condition the amount of oxygen that can be transported is severely diminished. This condition is caused by high fat and protein diets and high acidity. Your blood will look like this if you drink one soda and will stay that way for at least two hours. Because your cells are not getting oxygen you will feel tired, have poor digestion, and skin disorders.
	Erythrocyte Aggregation This condition is one step worse than rouleau. This is often seen in people with degenerative diseases. This is caused by undigested fats and proteins and high acidity. Degeneration of tissue always follows low oxygen and acidity. This condition can precede a blood clot which can cause a stroke or heart attack.
	Poikilocytosis This condition is caused by free radicals. This also lowers the bloods oxygen carrying capacity and shortens the life if the cell. RBCs don't have nuclei, so they will not mutate, but the fact that there is free radical damage signifies that there will also be damage to the nuclei of tissue cells which is the beginning of mutations that lead to cancer.
	Microcyte These are small RBCs having a diameter of less than 5 microns. These cells have less hemoglobin than normal cells and is often seen in people with iron deficiency anemia.
	Macrocyte These cells are greater than 10 microns in size. Macrocytes are often seen in people with hemolytic anemia.
	Anisocytosis In this condition there are variations in the size of the cells. This is mostly seen in people with low levels of the vitamins B12 and folic acid and the mineral iron.
	Target Cell These RBCs are deficient in iron and therefore hemoglobin, which is the part that carries oxygen. The symptoms produced in the body are tiredness, poor digestion, and anemia
	Hemolysis This is literally the destruction of the red blood cell. This can be caused by bacterial infection or any number of toxins introduced into the blood stream. The hemoglobin goes out of the cells interior and diffuses into the plasma. This can also be caused by any hypotonic fluid injected intravenously. Death will follow if not corrected.

Fat, Protein, and Liver Congestion
	Normal Thrombocytes (Platelets) Platelets are small disk shaped components of blood that have an important role in blood coagulation. When a blood vessel is injured the platelets adhere to each other and to the injury to form a plug which stops the bleeding. Platelets number approximately 200,000 to 300,000/cu.mm.
	Thrombocyte Aggregation When the thrombocytes (platelets) aggregate when there is no injury a very dangerous situation develops. The aggregated platelets can form a clot which can block an artery causing a stroke or heart attack. This clot is called a thrombus. Diets high in fats and proteins or high sugar consumption can create this situation.
	Spicules (Fibrin) Fibrin are platelets that have changed in shape that form a net-like substance in which blood clots are formed by the entrapment of red and white cells and platelets. When they are formed in the blood when there is no injury there is an imminent danger of a blood clot that can cause a heart attack or stroke. This is caused by liver stress due to incomplete digestion of proteins and fats.
	Chylous Chylomicrons are small particles of fats in the blood after the digestion and assimilation of fat in food. The presence of chyomicrons in the blood after a 12 hour fast indicates a condition known as hyperlipo-proteinemia, This can lead to atheriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and enlargement of the liver and spleen.
	Plaque Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the most dangerous conditions in the blood. It can adhere to the artery walls narrowing and hardening them. These crystals are formed when the system becomes acidic and the fatty acids from simple carbohydrates crystallize.
	Uric Acid Crystal Uric acid is a byproduct of protein metabolization and urea. When the body becomes acidic the urea forms crystals that can lodge in the joints or in the tissues. Uric acid is the cause of gout and one of the causes of fibromyalgia. These crystals are shaped like knives and is the reason it can cause so much pain for people with either of these disorders.
	Cholesterol Crystal Cholesterol is an important sterol in the body that is the precursor for many important hormones. Only when the body is acidic does the cholesterol crystallize and become a problem. This is probably the most seen crystal in blood analysis, but it's important to realize that cholesterol is not the problem when you see the crystals, acidity is.
	Echinocyte These are red blood cells that have a thorny appearance. This is usually indicative of kidney stress and crenation (the shrinking of the cell by dehydration).

Immune System, Parasites, Bacteria, and Fungal Forms
	Healthy White Blood Cell These cells are made up of lymphocytes and leukocytes. They form the basis of the immune system. There are approximately one or two white cells for every 500 red cells. When there is an elevated count it is usually a sign of an infection. The white blood cells protect us from infectious diseases and will destroy any cells that have mutated.
	Yeast A fungus that feeds on undigested food and sugar in the blood. The principle yeast found in the blood is Candida Albicans. It is usually found in people with cancer, fibromyalgia and those with chronic fatigue. This condition is also indicative of over acidity as yeast cannot live in an alkaline environment.
	L-Form Bacteria This is a bacterial infection (it's hard to see in this picture) that is shaped like a butterfly. This usually signifies a condition of low immunity and high blood sugar.
	Rod Form Bacteria This is an advanced form of a bacterial infection and is regarded as a serious indicator of a weak immune system. These bacteria produce very toxic acid byproducts as a result of their metabolic processes.
	Parasitized Red Blood Cells This is bacteria or parasites that get inside the cells. Of course the cell will die, and unless they are stopped by the immune system, they will continue to attack other cells.
	Fungal Forms Fungi can spread throughout your body through the blood and develop colonies. They usually develop slowly and are hard to diagnose and usually resistant to treatment. They are seldom fatal and most of the time go unnoticed. This is a sign of poor assimilation of nutrients and an acidic condition in the body fluids.
