Integrative Microscopy, also known as Live Blood Analysis, is a comprehensive microscopic assessment of blood in its live and un-altered state using phase contrast and brightfield microscope techniques. Integrative Microscopy has been our most successful tool in health assessment over the past 25 years. Visit the Integrative Microscopy page for all details. For cost please refer to the price list.
This new “Integrative Microscopy” is done by licensed health care providers such as Naturopathic Doctors which often qualifies your consultation for extended health insurance coverage. These practitioners will use the microscopy to gain valuable information pertinent to your health concerns which will be added to information gathered from physical exams, health history, advanced bloodwork and other medical testing in order to create a comprehensive wellness plan specific to your health conditions and complimentary to your medical doctor’s treatment plan.
It is a simple poke of the finger. Two samples will be taken, a dried and a live sample. We also test your glucose and total cholesterol.
There are numerous different things that can be seen a blood sample. Our practitioners will start by identifying cell structures including Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets and Lipids, explaining their specific functions in the body in order to educate you as to how they affect your health. The practitioner will then carefully examine the sample for changes in the normal appearance of blood structures and the presence of other non-typical morphologies (abnormalities in the blood) and explain how these changes may impact your health.
Integrative Microscopy is a subjective, non-diagnostic, information gathering tool used by a skilled practitioner to aid in direction of care. It is possible to see microbial forms (organisms that may cause illness) in the sample. Microbial forms in a sample may relate to and be a possible explanation for patient symptomology, but because it is not our job to culture or stain the sample we will not be able to put a specific name on those microbes, however, these microbes are very important to be aware of in order to create a specific wellness plan for each individual and referrals for more testing and specific diagnosis.
We are certain the information and education you will receive will be extremely helpful in understanding your specific health concerns.
An initial appointment will take about 1.5 hours and recap appointments take 1 hour.
For costs please refer to the price list posted at the top of this page.
