Live blood analysis is a medical assessment I offer all of my patients. It is the viewing of your blood in my office with an Olympus CX 43 medical microscope.
Microscopes are established medical tools. We are all made up of cells. Looking at those cells under a microscope is a great way to evaluate the health of our bodies.
In my childhood, we had a microscope. It was a Christmas gift from our parents, supposedly from Santa Claus, of course. I remember being fascinated by looking at small everyday objects like hair.
In university biology classes, we looked at plant and animal slides. In medical school, we were still looking at static, fixed slides of cells from people. This was called Histology. I was good at it because it was not new and involved something I was naturally good at—pattern recognition.
In June 1995, I took my first seminar in Live Blood Analysis. While it was fascinating, I did not integrate it into my practice of medicine until 2004, when I took another seminar. Over the ensuing years, I have added more courses in Live Blood Analysis, each one adding to my understanding of health and disease.
I am currently using a modern Olympus medical microscope. It allows me to view live blood with dark field, phase contrast, and bright field views.
I use my microscope to view blood clumping, protein spicule formation patterns, abnormalities in red blood cell shapes, white blood cell activation, and many more health patterns.
I offer basic live blood cell assessments as part of a regular office visit. If you want to see how your blood and health are doing, ask me at the start of your next office visit.
