Live-Blood Cell Analysis

The live cell demonstration displays the status of your diet and digestion by viewing your blood on a TV monitor connected to a microscope. A healthy blood sample shows the red blood cells to be round, evenly shaped , well oxygenated and freely moving in the plasma. Healthy plasma will be clear without the presence of undigested foods and few fat globules. There are no signs of free radical damage, bacteria or fungal infestation, or liver stress lines. This is the optimal blood picture for maximizing health.
 

In order to understand unhealthy blood patterns let us review some basic information about blood:

Blood circulates through the entire body in 20 seconds.

The blood plays a central role in the overall health of a person. Blood is a complex liquid that comprises 7.5% of a persons total weight. Whole blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that float individually in the plasma; a straw colored liquid made of about 90% water. The watery plasma which also contains organic acids, glucose, hormones and salts, serves as a medium for: (1) delivering nutrients to the tissues, (2) removing metabolic wastes and scavenged microorganisms, (3) distributing hormones and antibodies to the proper places. Blood plays an important role in maintaining equilibrium (homeostasis) within the body. It helps maintain normal body temperature, normal pH levels, and has several immune functions.


Common Nutritional Imbalances Demonstrated On The Analysis:

Poor digestion is apparent by looking at how freely and how fast the red blood cells (rbcs) move. If the cells elongate and link together this suggests poor protein digestion and possibly poor fat digestion. Irregular edges on the rbcs reflect free radical damage. Small and large red cells suggest insufficient B12 and/or folic acid and/or iron. An excess of dying rbcs suggests inadequate nutrition when they were forming. The ability of white blood cells to capture, kill, and carry away bacteria, viruses, or fungi is particularly well illustrated in the live cell analysis. If one’s liver is clogged, congested or tense, white blood cells can’t get into the liver ( for removal ) and they back up into the blood and rupture. They release their contents back into the blood stream and force the process of cleanup to be repeated. This burdens the white blood cells' immune activity. A presentation like this may show other signs of liver stress as well such as free radical damage and recirculating poorly digested food particles. Abnormalities in calcium metabolism can be detected by excess build-up of large plaque aggregates in the blood stream. This presentation causes increased atherosclerotic damage to blood vessels. A live cell analysis will enhance your ability to customize your diet and supplement regime.
