What is the dark field blood test?
As a Naturopath using live and dry blood testing is a unique method of examining and analyzing blood under a microscope. It allows us to see in detail the true state of your health live on the screen of a computer. It can show you what your blood cells are like, explain what it means, and teach you how different formations affect your health.
Live blood tests show information about your blood to see the status of blood cells, the quality of red and
white blood cells, and the spaces between cells. This will give us instant information about your health.
Dry blood shows even more information. The culmination of your health throughout your life is expressed in
your blood. It represents your past, your present and your probable future.
How tests are performed
Blood tests are performed in the presence of the patient and all observed indications are discussed, along with their implications, with the patient during the test procedure.
You are required to fast for 3-4 hours prior to the assessment, however water is allowed.
​
Integrative microscopy is not invasive, it only requires a couple of drops of blood drawn from the fingertip. The practitioner educates the patient about the physiology of her blood live since the microscope is connected to the computer, without a doubt a very visual and didactic technique.
What a drop of blood can reveal
- Food metabolism - digestive problems - fatigue - weight problems - bacteria and parasite levels -
hormone balance levels - the state of your immune system - balance of yeast, acidosis - condition / stress of the liver - detoxification functions - environmental sensitivities etc... More than 50 facets of your health that can be addressed with simple lifestyle changes that can transform your health.
Despite being considered the river of life, blood is not a liquid, it is a flow of tissues and therefore it must be considered as an organ, like the kidneys, lungs and liver.

The importance of healthy blood
Blood quality is vital to living a healthy and disease-free life, which depends solely on correct nutrition and
a balanced lifestyle. The physiological pH of normal human blood is 7.35 to 7.45 and our body works hard to
maintain this homeostasis, just as it does to maintain body temperature.
​
If our diet is not healthy and is full of acidic foods, toxic drinks, negative thoughts, stress...we force our bodies to keep the pH balance at safe levels, which makes us feel sick or tired.
The benefit of using integrative microscopy
Integrative microscopy differs from conventional medicine in that it strives to identify and treat underlying
causes and nutritional deficiencies of health problems and diseases, rather than symptoms.
​
With nutritional microscopy, you can see with the two blood tests under a microscope the quality of your blood, in order to assess health at the cellular level, determining what an individual needs for their blood to return to a balanced pH level.
Excess acidification in the body is the cause of all degenerative diseases. When the balance is broken and the body begins to produce and store more acidity and toxic waste than it can eliminate, various ailments manifest.
