A darkfield microscope is a microscope intended to permit diversion of light rays and illumination, from the side, so that details appear light against a dark background as opposed to light passing straight through the specimen. If bright lights from the microscope pass directly through the specimen, the heat from the light source will kill the red blood cells faster. In addition, by diverting the light rays, a greater amount of depth and details can be viewed. Darkfield microscopic blood analysis as studied, is a technique that could be very difficult to locate among medical practitioners that use them. The FDA does not approve of darkfield microscopic blood analysis, thus hands of many doctors are tied. Viewing a fresh, natural blood sample, a sample not altered with any stains, etc., needed for normal microscopic exams, under the technology of a darkfield microscope, will reveal conditions of your blood not normally even considered during the diagnosis of a normal blood test performed in the office of doctor or in a lab. However, an increasing number of health professionals have found that the use of this technique allows inspection of cellular dynamics which as noted above normally escape analysis or diagnosis using orthodox medical tests.
Darkfield Microscopy hence allows a health professional to evaluate the shapes and other properties of individual blood cells, indicating nutritional conditions which can be adversely affecting a person’s health. The advantage of this analysis over standard blood tests, which detect chemical changes in the blood, is the ability of dark field microscopy to detect nutritional disorders sooner, when the problem is in its infancy stages. Through monitoring the condition of blood, a health professional can assist in balancing the blood by giving dietary and lifestyle recommendations which can enhance health. The healthy, powerful blood shows the red blood cells to be round, evenly shaped and freely floating in plasma. The plasma itself is clear with a few fat globules. There are no signs of clotting, bacteria, fungus, disease or stress. This is the kind of blood a healthy person should have flowing through their circulatory system In darkfield microscopy, one is therefore able to observe live blood. Unlike the techniques of electron microscopy, no fixative is used so the picture is one of mobility rather than fixity. With stains and fixatives, the picture reveals a moment in time rather than a continuum. What one sees in the mobile situation are the usual red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma—and what is floating in the plasma. Microbial activity, undigested food, fungi, and crystals are all apparent as is the capacity of the red blood cells to circulate and the white blood cells to devour morbid matter. Red blood cells as we all know, transport oxygen to the tissues of the body. Without oxygen, we are devitalized, and according to some theories, the tissues go into a morbid state in which they can survive on fermentation rather than oxygenation. This is what is referred to as anaerobic and that cancer thrives in such oxygen deficient conditions. With darkfield microscopy, one often sees sees a condition called rouleau in which the red blood cells are stacked together. Some people believe it is because of the stress on the body of poor metabolism and others believe it is due to this as well as pH, acid-alkaline balance, wrong dietary choices or the presence of excessively high levels of free radicals. In any event, it is usually correctable. Another condition that is frequently revealed in these tests is one in which the activity of red blood cells is compromised because of infection, bacterial or viral. In some cases, the red blood cells are misshapen or debilitated by parasitic invasion. The rouleau effect shows that the red blood cells are clumped together and stacked like coins. Rouleau affects proper oxygenation because the red blood cells do not circulate well enough to deliver oxygen where it is needed. The condition also favors the growth of unhealthy organisms that can survive in a milieu that is less oxygen rich. Fungi, bacteria, and viruses require less oxygen than healthy tissue. In this case of rouleau, since oxygenation is really critical to well being, the right diet and herbs may alleviate one of the underlying factors that contribute to cancer. However, enzymes, avoidance of the wrong foods, and protocols that address the specific issues of the patient would be expected to be more effective than more random efforts to ward off ill health.
