The condition of your blood cells affects your health, say nutritional microscopists. Here's how a simple blood test can safeguard your health and prevent illness.

Live Blood Analysis (also known as Nutritional Microscopy) analyses the condition and quality of your red blood cells to see how healthy you are. It is done through a painless prick on your thumb to extract a sample of blood, which is then examined under a powerful microscope (magnified 20,000 times), and the results captured on camera so you can see exactly what is happening in your blood. Because the cells are live you can see them interacting and moving around – quite a surreal and memorable experience.

What Does Healthy Blood Look Like?

Healthy red blood cells look like plump circles sitting next to each other. ‘They reside freely in their own space,’ says Errol Denton, a certified Nutritional Microscopist based in Essex. ‘They are uniform in shape and size.’

Unhealthy blood cells look broken or squashed together and the microscopist will be able to point out signs of bacteria, yeast, mould, stress, hormonal imbalance and sugar intolerance in your blood, which can help you to understand any current health issues.

Why Have Live Blood Testing?

‘It’s the ultimate preventative medicine tool,’ says Errol. If you are ill it can help you to understand why and advise on what changes you need to make to your diet and lifestyle to remedy it. It can also highlight potential illness and suggest ways to prevent it. It is an alternative medical treatment routinely used by naturopaths and holistic therapists to gauge a patient’s overall health quickly.

How Long Does A Session Last?

A typical session lasts two hours.

How Much Does It Cost?

A session with Errol Denton costs £147.00

What Happens At The End Of A Session?

You’re given a CD and written report of your blood results and nutritional and lifestyle advice based on the information sheet you filled in at the beginning of the session. Balance in the body is important and there’s advice on how to reduce acid levels in the body, which, if high, can be harmful to your health. Blood cells regenerate every 120 days so if you need to address acid imbalance you can make changes to your diet as advised by the microscopist and come back for a retest in three months time to see whether the condition of your blood has improved.
