Microscopy utilizes a high powered microscope to view a drop of capillary blood from the clients fingertip. This is obtained with a sterile lancet*. The blood is then viewed on a video monitor. We observe the  live and dry blood; the live blood is viewed by using phase contrast and the dry blood is observed through bright field. Through this observation process it is possible to see the impact of diet and lifestyle choices at the cellular level.

Microscopy is qualitative, standard laboratory blood tests are generally quantitative During a microscopy session we examine the quality of the red and white blood cells and plasma in the live blood. In the dried blood clot, we are able to pinpoint where acid imbalances are in the body.

Microscopy is not a diagnosis, nor is it a replacement for any medical treatment. It is an evaluation for the purpose of guiding an individual in a healthier direction. It is used to create an understanding of acid-alkaline imbalance, and to devise a personal strategy of using nutritious and naturally grown foods, alkaline water, proper exercise and other alkalizing methods of rebalancing and maintaining good health.

Characteristics observed include

* The relative level of acidity in the body fluids and the effects these acids have on the body

* Condition of the red blood cells and their states of balance, imbalance, weakening and biological transformation

* Relative activity of white blood cells

* General organ stress

* Presence of parasites, bacteria, yeast, fungus and mould

* Blood sugar imbalances

* Malabsorption of fats, proteins and other nutrients

* Crystalline forms of morbid matter, acids, cholesterol and mycotoxins

1. *Degenerative stress and gastrointestinal tract dysfunction
   

Mark has trained with Dr. Robert O. Young for the last 5 years. A session to evaluate your blood takes about an hour and a half. During the session you will have the opportunity to view your blood and discuss your health concerns. You will be given nutritional suggestions based on your individual profile. A microscopy session is a great way to access where you need to make some adjustments to your diet; an excellent starting point.

We are located in Orange County California. To set up an appointment call (949) 219-9880, 9 a.m.-5  p.m. (PST) Monday-Friday, or email mark_pace@sbcglobal.net.
