Live Blood Analysis - For Real?

When I first walked into the Naturopath's office two years ago to interview for a sales clerk position at Sunshine Herbs, I instantly became obsessed with blood analysis.  He had posters hanging on his wall for both live and dried blood.  My sister suffers from an autoimmune disorder and I have not had the best of luck with my own immune system throughout the years and I wanted to see if my blood would give me any answers.

A few months ago, business was a little slow and I was invited into the office for a Live Blood Analysis.  Now, I have read all the websites that say that there is nothing to them, they are quackery and nothing more than a way to dupe the poor customer into spending hundreds of dollars on worthless supplements.  After my reading, I am a believer that the live blood analysis can tell us some things about our blood.  Could I tell what vitamins I was short on? No.  Could I tell if I myself have an autoimmune disorder? Possibly.  Did I benefit greatly from this reading?  Yes!

For at least a year prior to my finger being poked, I have been on natural blood thinners daily; Feverfew for migraines, grape seed extract (in my Wrinkle Rescue supplement), Gingko (in my Natures Plus Ultra Hair Plus), 3 grams of Omega 3s, and probably more off and on throughout.  The drop of blood that formed on my finger showed the fact, that yes, my blood was a little thinner than normal, as it did not quite form that perfect ball.

Now, I realize that slides can be manipulated to show results to sell products, but I have known this Naturopath for years and he explained every step, as he would love for me to get certified to do this and aid him in his practice.  The first thing he said as he reviewed my blood was, "You better go see a doctor."

What I saw explained A LOT!!  My platelets were so stuck together, that instead of looking like fizzy bubbles, it looked like I was made of worms!  That not only explained my headaches, but the fact that I have NEVER been able to run a mile straight. Even in track when I was younger and ran every day, I maxed out at the 800.  I never understood how people could run without their lungs freezing.  A few years ago, I even had a doctor tell me that perhaps I suffered from exercise induced asthma and prescribed me an inhaler.  Didn't work.

After viewing my blood, I immediately began researching causes.  Hmmm...autoimmune disorders, along with cancer...  After talking to my mother, I found out that a relative on her side was diagnosed with, "sticky blood," and I knew that my father's side has had blood issues, though all I know is that it leads to heart issues and stroke. My uncle was even told he needs to stop eating so many tomatoes because the vitamin K was making his clot.

After spending hours on the computer and my head stuck in books, I purchased Solaray's Nattokinase Serrapeptase supplement.  I stopped all other supplements (due to possible blood thinning properties), even my feverfew for migraines, which I was VERY hesitant to do.  After 3 weeks on the supplement I hopped on the treadmill and ran a mile - no lung issues whatsoever!  And then I did it again later that week.  I felt my legs and core but not my lungs for the first time!!  And guess what? NO HEADACHES!  I can't say enough about the difference this supplement has made in my life - all due to a Live Blood Analysis.

For Real? I will let you decide.

Pictures I took with my phone of my blood.  Soooo cool!  All that haze is fibrin.  Even after taking the enzyme supplement he gave me, my fibrin was so thick, it actually held many of my blood cells in place.  Hence the reason I started taking the Natto!
