What is Nutritional
Microscopy?
Nutritional Microscopy is an evaluation routinely used by holistic medical,
osteopathic, chiropractic and naturopathic physicians, as well as other health care professionals around the world,
providing an insightful view of your internal environment, referred to as your "biological
terrain".
A nutritional microscopist
utilizes a high powered "Meiji" dark field microscope to view a drop of blood obtained
from your fingertip using a sterile lancet. Examining the live and dry blood cells and plasma under
a microscope provides a detailed picture of the condition of your internal environment and how it
functions.
A Certified Nutritional
Microscopist (CNM) uses examination of your blood and plasma together with your health
history to gather data to answer the following questions:
-
How does the blood picture relate to your
current and past health challenges?
-
What are your nutritional needs,
deficiencies, and imbalances?
Nutritional Microscopy is NOT a diagnostic test. Nutritional Microscopy is
a screening tool used to assist individuals by:
- Providing an early warning of possible future health
challenges
- Detecting patterns of cellular disorganization
- Alerting to the need for a medical referral
- Monitoring a health challenge before and after adopting an approach to
restore health and balance
- Determining the effectiveness of various approaches to restoring health
and balance
