Live Blood Microscopy

Sticky, rouleauxed red blood cells

Strong, healthy, single red blood cells

Your blood is your life force and every cell of you body depends on nutrient and oxygen from the blood. Most people do not know what condition their blood is in because they do not have the opportunity to look at it. With Live Blood Microscopy you can look at your own blood.

Live Blood Microscopy (LBM) is a term used for the viewing of blood under a microscope whilst being alive. It is a procedure in which a drop of blood from a finger prick, ear or heel of your foot is viewed under a microscope .This makes LBM practically painless and therefore much easer to use with children and people who have an aversion to needles.

Both practitioner and patient can view the red and white blood cells, platelets and micro-organisms present in the blood while they are still alive and moving. The blood is not stained or treated in any way. Live Blood Microscopy provides specific information about your health that is not available via the usual pathology blood test. In LBM blood stays in good state for 40 minutes so the practitioner can analyze it.

Live Blood Microscopy amongst many benefits also allows to assess the health and vitality of the immune system based on the type, health of cells and number of white and red blood cells. When examining blood under a microscope the inter-relationship of body systems contributing to the condition of blood and health of a patient becomes evident.

For instance the presence of crystals of uric acid in the blood may indicate high intake of purine foods (from meat, fish and poultry), dehydration, gout or kidney dysfunction. This is why some individuals experience stiffness of joints and pain. Just one drop of blood may contain several crystals of uric acid.

The cleanliness of the blood plasma, the liquid in which the blood cells move can also be viewed in LBM. Chemicals in our environment, inadequate nutrition and bowel health determine how clean blood plasma is. It is well established and evident through iridology that toxic bowel may affect all body organs via embryonic links. This also can be observed in LBM as sticky red blood cells and dirty plasma reduce an ability to deliver nutrients and oxygen and to remove metabolic waste.

What are the benefits of LBM?

Detection of early manifestation of illness;
Detection of early sign of particular vitamin and mineral deficiency;
Detection of free radically damaged cells;
Detection of parasitic, bacterial and fungal infections;
Detection of inflammatory responses in the body;
Immune system imbalances;
Detection of uric acid;
Detection of allergic responses;
Vitality of your immune cells; and
Progress of the treatment is monitored.

New Hemaview™ Reporting Software
Hemaview™ Reporting Software, released in Australia in April 2008 is a powerful clinical tool to see, document and monitor patient’s blood and to increase patient’s compliance. The key software features and benefits include:

Capture instant images from practitioner’s microscope and display them in real time. Patients can be involved and see their blood instantly on the screen.
Record live video of patient’s blood. This live video will demonstrate patient’s progress in the future consultations.
Print or email customised reports for patients that show images of their blood with computerised interpretations of their health results. This gives a patient and his/her family physical evidence what progress they are making.
Generate a history report showing changes over time. It shows patients what their hard work is achieving and that practitioner’s work is making a difference in their health.
White blood cells differential counting facility- keeps track of practitioner’s count automatically.
Customised to suit different practitioner preferences.
