Additional Services Provided by Our Affiliates
Nutritional Services
Nutrition services offer clients education and guidance on their diet, either for overall health and wellness or as part of treatment for specific conditions. This service is closely integrated with Dark Field Blood Analysis, allowing for a comprehensive approach. Early identification and intervention provided through nutrition services can help address issues such as malnutrition, growth delays, frequent infections, dehydration, and other health concerns.
Darfield Blood Analysis
Dark Field Blood Analysis (DBA) utilizes high-resolution dark field microscopy to observe live blood cells in real-time. This analysis offers insights into the immune system’s health, potential vitamin deficiencies, toxicity levels, pH and mineral imbalances, and other areas of concern or weakness. It can also detect oxygen deficiency in the blood, low trace mineral levels, and stress on organs such as the kidneys, bladder, spleen, or liver.
