Why Evaluate Dry Blood?

​

In a dry blood sample, the water content is evaporated and as this happens the solutes within the blood separate, move and then settle to reveal patterns. These patterns reveal an inflammatory process called oxidation.

 

Dry Blood Analysis (DBA) is a visual map of inflammatory states and premature aging or breakdown.

 

DBA is a measure of health or disease by:

 

• Evaluating potential location of organ or tissue damage.

 

• Helping determine potential cause.

 

• Assessing severity of toxic load

 

• Indicating pathogenic overload (parasites) and immune activation.

 

There are exogenous (or outside) sources of free radicals, the cause of oxidative stress, and endogenous (produced by our cells and by inflammatory processes).

 

Dry Blood Analysis identifies repeatable and predictable patterns observed in certain health challenges based on the ROTS method. Therefore, the level of oxidative damage and the depth of disease process can be monitored.

 

Fun Facts

​

DBA can indicate the levels of oxidative stress e.g. inflammation and degeneration, eventually leading to pain.​

​

One drop of blood contains between 4 and 5 million red blood cells, 7 to 25 thousand white blood cells, 150 to 450 thousand platelets - all suspended in blood plasma.

​

Health first begins on the bio-electrical level, next within the cellular matrix of fluids such as blood. An altered homeostatic balance of fluids causes nutrient deficiencies.

DBA History

​

An Oxidative Stress Test (OST) was developed by Goldbergar in 1939. It was born out of the need for a simple test that could be performed at a patient’s bedside to determine severity of the case, later becoming the ROTS method.

​​

Published work on Reactive Oxygen Toxic Species (ROTS) was done in 1981. It goes into great detail about extracellular matrix producing patterns in the dry blood.

 

The prevalence and location of ROTS is unique to each person at the time of the sample being taken.​​
