" Making a Difference in YOUR Future!"
Phase Contrast Live Blood Conditions.
The following photographs were
taken using a dark field microscope. This type of microscopy allows you
to see the living blood and the size and shape
of the cells seconds after the blood is drawn. It provides the most accurate
picture of the internal environment as it relates to your health.
Undigested Proteins and Vitamin and
Mineral Deficiencies
|
|
|
Normal Red Blood Cell
(RBCs)
The circulatory system
is the means by which oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and hormones are
transported to the cells to keep them alive and functioning. This is
how our blood looks when we are experiencing optimum health. The Erythrocytes
(cells) are round and separated and move through the capillaries very
easily. The average size of healthy RBCs is 7.2 microns |
|
|
Protein Linkage
This condition is the first sign of
cell stickiness and may progress into rouleau if not corrected. Protein
linkage is a sign
that excessive protein is being consumed or the protein is not being
digested completely. As the cells start sticking together it becomes
harder for the heart to push the blood through the veins and arteries. |
|
|
Rouleau
When the blood
gets to this condition the amount of oxygen that can be transported is
severely diminished. This condition is caused
by high fat and protein diets and high acidity. Your blood will look
like this if you drink one soda and will stay that way for at least two
hours. Because your cells are not getting oxygen you will feel tired,
have poor digestion, and skin disorders. |
|
|
Erythrocyte Aggregation
This condition is one step worse than rouleau. This is often seen in
people with degenerative diseases. This is caused by undigested fats
and proteins and high acidity. Degeneration of tissue always follows
low oxygen and acidity. This condition can precede a blood clot which
can cause a stroke or heart attack. |
|
|
Poikilocytosis
This condition is caused by free radicals. This also
lowers the bloods oxygen carrying capacity and shortens the life of the
cell. RBCs don't have nuclei, so they will not mutate, but the fact that
there is free radical damage signifies that there will also be damage
to the
nuclei
of tissue
cells which is the beginning of mutations that lead to cancer. |
|
|
Microcyte
These are small RBCs having a diameter of less than 5 microns.
These cells have less hemoglobin than normal cells and is often seen in
people with iron deficiency anemia. |
|
|
Macrocyte
These cells are greater than 10 microns in size. Macrocytes
are often seen in people with hemolytic anemia. |
|
|
Anisocytosis
In this condition there are variations in the size of
the cells. This is mostly seen in people with low levels of the vitamins
B12
and folic acid and the mineral iron.
|
|
|
Target Cell
These RBCs are deficient in iron and therefore hemoglobin,
which is the part that carries oxygen. The symptoms produced in the body
are tiredness, poor digestion, and anemia |
|
|
Hemolysis
This is literally the destruction of the red blood cell.
This can be caused by bacterial infection or any number of toxins introduced
into the blood stream.
The hemoglobin goes out of the cells interior and diffuses into
the plasma. This can also be caused by any hypotonic fluid injected intravenously.
Death will follow if not corrected. |
Fat, Protein, and Liver Congestion |
|
Normal Thrombocytes (Platelets)
Platelets are small disk shaped components of blood
that have an important role in blood coagulation. When a blood vessel
is injured
the platelets
adhere
to each other
and to the injury to form a plug which stops the bleeding. Platelets
number approximately 200,000 to 300,000/cu.mm. |
|
Thrombocyte Aggregation
When the thrombocytes (platelets) aggregate when there
is no injury a very dangerous situation develops. The aggregated platelets
can form a clot which can block an artery causing a stroke or heart attack. This clot is called a thrombus. Diets high in fats and proteins or high sugar consumption can create this situation. |
|
Spicules (Fibrin)
Fibrin are platelets that have changed in shape to form
a net-like substance in which blood clots are formed by the entrapment
of red and white cells and platelets. When they are formed in the blood
when there is no injury there is an imminent danger of a blood clot that
can cause a heart attack or
stroke. This is caused by liver stress due to incomplete digestion of proteins
and fats. |
|
Chylous
Chylomicrons are small particles of fats in the blood after
the digestion and assimilation of fat in food. The presence of chyomicrons
in the blood after a 12 hour fast indicates a condition known as hyperlipo-proteinemia,
This can lead to atheriosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and enlargement
of the liver and spleen. |
|
Plaque
Atherosclerotic plaque is one of the most dangerous conditions
in the blood. It can adhere to the artery walls narrowing and hardening
them. These crystals are formed when the system becomes acidic and the
fatty acids from simple carbohydrates crystallize. |
|
Uric Acid Crystal
Uric acid is a byproduct of protein metabolization and
urea. When the body becomes acidic the urea forms crystals
that can lodge in the joints or in the tissues. Uric acid is the cause
of gout and one of the causes of fibromyalgia. These crystals are shaped
like knives and is the reason it can cause so much pain for people with
either of these disorders.
|
|
Cholesterol Crystal
Cholesterol is an important sterol in the body that is
the precursor for many important hormones. Only when the body is acidic
does the cholesterol crystallize and become a problem. This is probably
the most seen crystal in blood analysis, but it's important to realize
that cholesterol is not the problem when you see the crystals, acidity
is.
|
|
Echinocyte
These
are red blood cells that have a thorny appearance. This is usually
indicative of kidney stress and crenation (the shrinking of the cell by
dehydration). |
Immune System, Parasites, Bacteria, and Fungal Forms |
|
Healthy White Blood
Cell
These cells are made up of lymphocytes and leukocytes. They form
the basis of the immune system. There are approximately one or two
white cells for every 500 red cells. When there is an elevated count
it is usually a sign of an infection. The white blood cells protect
us from infectious diseases and will destroy any cells that have
mutated. |
|
Yeast
A fungus that feeds on undigested food and sugar in the
blood. The principle yeast found in the blood is Candida Albicans. It is
usually found in people with cancer, fibromyalgia and those with chronic
fatigue. This condition is also indicative of over acidity as yeast cannot
live in an alkaline environment. |
|
L-Form Bacteria
This is a bacterial infection (it's hard to see in this
picture) that is shaped like a butterfly. This usually signifies a condition
of low immunity and high blood sugar.
|
|
Rod Form Bacteria
This is an advanced form of a bacterial infection and is
regarded as a serious
indicator of a weak immune system. These bacteria produce very
toxic acid byproducts as a result of their metabolic processes. |
|
Parasitized Red Blood Cells
These
are bacteria or parasites that get inside the cells. The cell will die,
and unless they are stopped by the immune
system, they will continue to attack other cells. |
|
Fungal Forms
Fungi can spread
throughout your body through the blood and develop colonies. They usually
develop slowly and are hard to diagnose
and usually resistant to treatment. They are seldom fatal and most of the
time go unnoticed. This is a sign of poor assimilation of nutrients and
an acidic condition in the body fluids. |
