Integrative Microscopy differs from conventional medicine in that it strives to identify and treat underlying causes and nutritional deficiencies of health issues, rather than the symptoms. It’s used for non-diagnostic information-gathering purposes, along with standard physical exams, health history intake, and other standard-of-care imaging or blood tests. Integrative Microscopy is non-invasive and family-friendly, and requires only a couple of drops of blood extracted from the fingertip. A licensed healthcare practitioner educates the patient about the physiology of their blood immediately via a digital video link from the microscope to a computer screen, providing instant results and one-on-one patient-practitioner interaction.
