Basic Laboratory Testing

Live Layered Blood Cell Microscopy
A simple drop of blood from a client’s finger can provide a multitude of information such as how red and white blood cells behave, the presence of bacteria, yeast or parasites, nutrient imbalances, digestive red flags and more. A referral to a specific and skilled technician will be recommended if the case requires it.
