Dr. Swetlikoff offers several naturopathic medicine assessments including:
- Comprehensive Health History
- Physical Examination
- Detailed Laboratory and Functional Testing using a variety of blood, saliva, urine, and speciality analysis:
- Darkfield Blood Analysis
- Electrodermal Testing
- Bioresonance Therapy
Darkfield Blood Analysis
Darkfield Microspcopy is the microscopic examination of freshly taken blood. The darkfield blood examination is an appropriate test for patients:
- desiring optimal health
- having chronic diseases
- interested in disease prevention
- prone to recurrent infection
- with questions concerning toxicity, (amalgam, chemical, drug, metabolic, etc).
Darkfield Microscopy is one of the most important examinations applied at the clinic. A single drop of blood placed on a slide and then viewed under a specialized microscope (darkfield lens) enables us to assess the inner terrain (chemistry) of the body and to examine for healthy cellular function. Instantaneously, we are able to see characteristics in your blood that is consistent with health or changes that are directly impacting your health. This test is based on 60 years of research amassed by Dr. Gunther Enderlein.
Darkfield Microscopy immediately provides important information on immune system health, nutritional health, excretory and detoxification capacity, oxygen utilization and ones propensity towards degenerative tendencies is immediately determined. Even so called “healthy” people may have an unhealthy blood picture. If this picutre is not corrected may in time begin to experience symptoms of declining health. Most importantly, the test shows how well your body is responding to any chosen therapies. Since the blood picture closely mirrors health, by monitoring and comparing blood samples taken before, during and after the implementation of some treatment, its success can be quickly ascertained. Darkfield Microscopy is a specialized blood test and does not replace standard blood tests, either by normal microscopic examination or by blood samples sent to laboratories for evaluation.The exam takes about 15 minutes and is repeated 4-6 weeks later to monitor improvements in health.
Electrodermal Vega Testing
The Vega Machine is a tool used in bio-energetic-medicine. Its basis is the concept that the first sign of abnormality in the body is an energetic or electrical charge change in a cells or organ tissues. If these abnormal electrical charges are permitted to continue, a structural changes will occur, creating a condition for disease and degeneration to occur. Western medicine is the only medical system that does not have a vitalistic approach to illness and has no concept of biological energy. All other forms of medicine practiced, have some concept of vital force or energy of some description.
The Vega testing measures electrical conductivity across the skin at acupuncture points. A mild voltage is applied with a hand electrode over an acupuncture point on the finger or toe while the patient holds another electrode to complete the circuit. The conductivity is measured as part of a Wheatstone bridge circuit.
The Vega Machine is useful in assessing the following:
- food sensitivities & intolerances
- environmental sensitivities & intolerances
- airborne sensitivities
- organ weaknesses
- potential harmful reactions from both medications
- mineral deficiencies
- vitamin deficiencies
- potential infectious agents.
Diseases that may also due to food sensitivities or organ weakness include:
- fatigue
- headaches
- sinusitis
- recurrent respiratory infections
- ulcers
- Crohns disease
- eczema
- acne
- asthma
- palpitations
- rheumatoid arthritis
- ankylosing spondalitis
- recurrent cystitis
- learning disorders
- hyperactivity
