What
kind of analysis do you use?
Most live blood analysis in Australia only offers analysis through a darkfield
microscope. To get a better picture of your health, we use darkfield,
brightfield and phase contrast analysis.
This gives a much broader and accurate set of results, which are explained to you in layperson's language.
Who
does the analysis?
Our technician Dr Tracie O'Keefe DCH, ND, has been trained at university
level in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, microbiology, naturopathy,
medical nutrition and the chemistry of nutrition.
This
gives her the background to make a clear and accurate assessment of the
state of your blood and health.
What does the process entail?
During the process you will sit with the technician and they will display
what they see under the microscope on a viewing screen for you to see.
This
helps patients understand what is actually happening with their blood
and health.
What use is the information?
Information about your blood is important for planning any recovery from illness or how to maximise your health. If necessary, we may provide nutritional supplements, herbs, dietary advice and advice on changing your lifestyle in order to reach optimum health.
Can
I claim for treatments on my private health fund?
You may be able to claim for naturopathy treatments through your private
health fund, either instantly through the HICAPS machine on the day, or
by sending off your receipt to your provider. For details about claiming
for treatments through your health fund, please visit our health
funds section.
