Hey Nevada, give your head a shake. If you are quoting anything from

quackwatch.com you are on the wrong forum. That is the last place that

anyone on this forum would consider as a reliable source of information.

Re: darkfield live blood cell

analysis

Here is an article from quackwatch.org. I have worked in a

hematology laboratory at a major New York hospital for 10 years. I

have never come across any test where a doctor ordered this type of

analysis and although we had over a million dollars worth of

diagnostic machinery, I have never come across this particular test.

Beware! I know there is one doctor in my town who showed " bugs " in my

friends blood using this instrument and I warned him it was a fake

and the doctor was a quack. If those bacteria and parasites were

really present he would not be alive or be at deaths door.

James R. Privitera, Jr., M.D., was convicted in 1975 and sentenced to

six months in prison for conspiring to prescribe and distribute

laetrile. In 1980, after the appeals process ended, he served fifty-

five days in jail..........

Privitera founded two companies that have marketed devices for

doing " live cell analysis, " a procedure in which blood obtained from

a patient's finger is placed under a dark-field microscope to which a

television monitor has been attached, so that both the practitioner

and the patient can examine cells and particles in the blood.

Proponents claim that this method can be used to detect " multiple

vitamin and mineral deficiencies, toxicity, tendencies toward

allergic reaction, excess fat circulation, liver weakness, and

arteriosclerosis. " However, the test has little or no value in

diagnosing such conditions.

If quack watch says it, you can do the opposite and know you're doing the

right thing

and if there's a hell the quack watch people are going.

Quackwatch is not, not a source of reliable information on cutting edge,

alternative/complementary or traditional medical systems. Period.

For example, amyloids, which are sticky folded proteins found in alzheimer

patients, are also, I believe, a sort of phlegm that is present and diagnosed in

asian medical systems. Phlegm, or dampness makes the blood and pulse thick,

clogs the mind and metabolism, and is a major pathogen that is targeted by

herbal and energetic modalities. However, as these modalities have as their

golden aim, to treat illness before it fully manifests, by diagnosing the

organism by pulse, spirit, complexion, reflex, and many other traditional

reliable methods in addition to standard tests, they differ from a solely

molecular viewpoint of the body.

Now, darkfield live blood cell analysis is another useful tool as it can show

the show the shape of cells and give a peek into the little ecosystem of the

blood almost as it is in the body, but I will leave it to more experienced

people to go further with this explanation, and I hope they take the time,

because I think it will be a test that will grow in usefulness. peace
