Hemaview requires a small drop of blood, which is examined under a microscope. The blood sample is projected onto a TV Screen where you can view and discuss it with your practitioner. The results are immediately available so there are no long waits for the results.
Patients often describe the experience of being able to see their own blood as absolutely fantastic because they can see the effects of their lifestyle on their cells. Sometimes it’s a real revelation.
The practitioner looks at the Red Blood Cells for size, shape and distribution. Abnormalities can indicate the body’s increased requirements for particular nutrients such as Iron, Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid.
Damaged cells can be present indicating possible free radical damage. In this instance your medical history, symptoms or other testing can reveal the reason for this. It could however be due to such things as pesticide exposure or heavy metal toxicity.
If you see excessive fat in the sample or if your cells stick together you may have an increased risk of heart disease.
The various white blood cells will be evaluated and abnormalities could reveal viral or bacterial infections or an allergic response.
Haemaview can also be utilized to track whether your treatment is having the desired effect on your body. As your body heals, the blood cells will return to normal.
