Darkfield Microscopy

Darkfield microscopy is a way of evaluating a patients health via live blood analysis.

A drop of blood is taken from the patient and analysed in house to see what is happening with the blood cells.

Some schools of thought do not give it any credence, while others do, but the fact remains that you can observe if the live cells are not as they should be, a typical example of this is rouleau.

This condition presents itself as rather like a 'picture' of coins, were the blood cells look as though they have been stacked or stuck together, as in the examples opposite.

Instead of being in their own 'space' for want of a better term.

This would give indications of circulatory problems with hydration problems existing with that particular person that need to be addressed in one way or another.

So the cells should not have been like this, they should have been circular with no serrated edges and in their own 'space'.

Other examples opposite of cells that are being robbed of oxygen.

So again these people would have circulatory problems but from different causes that would need to be addressed.

They would also have symptoms of being lethargic/tired with little energy reserves.

The cells look like irregular bottle top edges, these photo's were taken in less than 2 minutes of the blood being taken from the patients.

There are many other examples of 'live blood' pictures.

As a clinic we use Darkfield Microscopy and video the bloods progression if a patient requires this, over a period of time with our other in house testing procedures.

Darkfield Microscopy as a minimum, is a very useful adjunct from a primary diagnostic basis in building up an over all picture of that persons health.

Its also a way of monitoring what has happened since the persons last testing and treatment.
