The Many Benefits of the Oligoscan For Detecting Mineral Deficiencies, Heavy Metal Loads & Anti-Oxidant Levels

I am the kind of physician who really wants to know about my patients health status before I decide on a course of action, which is why spend a long time on every first consultation. And it helps the patient, too, to have this sense of thoroughness, this feeling of getting to the root of the matter, together with me. As I remarked in another blog, health assessment is like good detective work: you have to piece together information from several different sources. Simply using one source will always only be giving you one-sided information.

Which is why I recently added the Oligoscan to my toolbox of health assessment devices. The reason simply being that one of my main approaches in helping people is by discovering nutritional deficiencies and by removing heavy metals from their system. The Live Blood Analysis that I do gives good hints about the presence of heavy metals. However the strengths of Live Blood Analysis lay elsewhere. For determining heavy metal loads in the body it is not accurate enough in quantitative terms, and also not specific enough regarding which metals are most dominant and most damaging.

To determine that, however, is precisely one of the strengths of the OligoScan. The device is using an advanced process known as ‘spectophotometry’, which checks the cellular levels, not the blood levels for mineral deficiencies, heavy metal loads and antioxidant presence. The OligoScan’s focus on the cellular levels is meaningful because the body keeps the blood levels balanced for much longer than the cells. Deficiencies and overloads are therefore first seen in the cells and not in the blood. By discovering them on the cellular level, we are catching them much earlier than otherwise possible.

So, what’s in it for me in terms of precise health assessment and for the patient in terms of service is that with the newly gained quantitative insights I can better calibrate detoxification measures and re-mineralization procedures according to the client’s personal needs. The amount of trace elements in the tissues uncovered by the OligoScan is a good starting point for counter measures, in order to achieve greater health, vitality and immunity.
