Live Blood Analysis

What is Live Blood Testing?

This simple, reliable and inexpensive test involves studying a few drops of capillary blood from your fingertip immediately under a high powered microscope connected to a camera – enabling you to view your own blood live on a video screen and have it interpreted from a nutritional standpoint.

Live Blood Analysis – also known as nutritional microscopy or sometimes darkfield microscopy – is basically the analysis of living blood under a powerful microscope. For the convenience of clients, this microscope may be connected to a camera.

The condition and quality of your red blood cells are a reflection of, and have a direct impact on, your current state of health.

What Do Your Blood Cells Look Like?

Live blood testing enables us to see your blood exactly as it is shortly after taking a drop from your body, which gives a 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 that are reflected in blood.

What does Live Blood Analysis Involve?

A single drop of capillary blood is obtained from your fingertip using a sterile lancet. This is then placed on a glass slide and immediately covered with fine glass slide (this protects it). Your blood examined immediately under a high powered microscope and connect to a video screen, thus enabling you to view your live blood cells.

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 balancing any excess acidity and removing toxins. Nutritional supplementation may also be recommended.

Live blood analysis is a unique health check - 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.

How Does it Differ from a Regular Blood Test?

In order to best understand the difference and the benefits of this particular test it is necessary to consider the conventional blood test that is given at the doctor’s surgery or hospital, known as a Full Blood Count (FBC) which looks at the numbers and ratios of different red and white blood cells.

However, one problem with this asssessment is that after the blood has been taken out of the body they start die so the haematologist is merely counting dead blood cells by an automated process. The results take the form of a quantitative analysis of the blood, that is to say how many dead red blood cells, how many dead white blood cells. If one of these values is abnormal, then the blood will be examined but then the blood is also changed through the addition of stains and dyes in order to facilitate the analysis.

Live blood analysis differs immensely from the conventional analysis, firstly because it only involves a tiny non-invasive pin prick on the fingertip to extract a few drops of blood and so is not so traumatic. The blood is analyzed live under a microscope giving the patient the ability to see his or her blood on a video screen. The results are instant; there is no waiting around and the patient gets to participate and understand what is happening inside their own bodies.

Live blood analysis is a qualitative analysis of the blood and because the blood examined is still alive it actually gives a more accurate picture of how the blood is behaving inside the patient’s body. It is almost like looking inside the veins of a person and has great advantages because it gives a clearer picture of a person’s health at cellular level.

For example while a conventional blood test can asssess the numbers of white blood cells and the different types of them, it cannot assess whether these cells – which represent the immune system – are functioning correctly. This is important information!

The participation of the patient is crucial because it educates them as to how they can play a role in healing their own bodies and at the same time gives them back the control they lose by being dependent only on drugs. Being solely dependent on the instructions of a doctor and not understanding why a particular drug must be taken can be daunting experiences, especially when the drug needs to be taken for years or even decades.

What Do You Get to See?

Healthy blood should show cells which are uniform in shape, size and colour. They should reside freely in their own space, not overlapping or sticking together but gently repelling each other because of their negative charge. Unhealthy blood cells look broken or squashed together.

When blood is perfectly balanced (homoeostasis) the red blood cells are loose and free flowing. They are mainly round (not oval, oblong, jagged or varying in size) and the white blood cells are approximately twice as large as the red blood cells. There is approximately one white blood cell for every 700 to 900 red. They can occur in any shape, but have a crisp, clean border and should exhibit extensive movement soon after being taken out of the body.

Live blood analysis is a qualitative test that reveals:

• General oxidation status (ie the need for antioxidants)
• The possible need for Essential Fatty Acids
• Inflammatory processes
• The prescence of acid crystals in the blood
• Triglyceride response to meals
• The need for specific nutrients
• How effective your nutritional program is

What is the Science Behind live Blood Analysis?

Live blood analysis, also known as nutritional microscopy, is the science of qualitative blood analysis for the purpose of evaluating health at the cellular level. Since blood is required throughout the entire body and without it we would cease to exist, blood could be called our ‘river of life’. Blood can also be considered as an organ just like the heart, lungs, kidney or liver. Indeed, all of these organs rely heavily on good quality blood to replenish them.

“If the blood is sick you will be too - and fat - regardless of what you look like on the outside.” (Young R O: 2005: p36 The pH miracle for weight loss)

The quality of the blood is vital to healthy, disease-free existence and this is dependent on correct nutrition. Healthy blood pH is 7.365 and the body will do anything to maintain this level, in the same way that it maintains the correct body temperature. When we eat unhealthy or acidic foods the body has to work much harder to bring the pH level back to its preferred alkaline balance of 7.365, thus drawing energy from our bodies which makes us feel sick and tired.
