Hemaview Screening Report Report For: Jane Doe Renece Lovett Suite 7, Level 1, 101 Hazel Glen Drive Doreen VIC 3754 Phone: 0430 172 566 Fax: Test Date: 11/Feb/2011 Practitioner: Renece Lovett Hours since last meal: 2 21:21:51 Email Address: [email protected] Website: www.laurimarhealth.com.au Beef and Vegetables with Gravy Parameter: Lymphocytes - low (<20%) Degree: Lymphocytes are small to medium sized, dull white blood cells and are part of your immune defence system. They are particularly involved in fighting viral infections, and also certain bacterial infections. Lymphocytes may be reduced at the very early stage of an infection, or when people are under stress. SA M PL E Parameter: Monocytes - elevated (>8%) Degree: Monocytes are the ‘detectives’ of the immune system, investigating any new intruders in the body. They engulf and process the foreign material, alerting neutrophils and lymphocytes to the presence of infective agents and allergens. Their numbers may be increased during infection, especially at the very early stage before symptoms occur. Parameter: Erythrocyte Aggregation Degree: Mild Your red blood cells are sticking to one another and forming clumps, due to being coated in sticky proteins. This is a sign that there may be inflammation happening in your body. This inflammation can be associated with infection, allergy, toxicity, poor digestion or unhealthy dietary choices. Parameter: Echinocytes Degree: Mild Echinocytes are irregularly shaped, spiky red blood cells whose membranes have been damaged. This damage is usually caused by oxidative stress from exposure to toxicity, inflammation or infection. It is normal for up to 1% of red blood cells to be echinocytes, due to normal ageing of the cells.

Their presence may be associated with low levels of blood building nutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 and folate. Elliptocytes are also seen in certain genetic conditions. SA M PL E Parameter: Chylomicrons - normal Degree: Chylomicrons are small 'dancing' particles in the blood, which are packages of fat from your last meal. The amount of fat in your blood is consistent with your last meal. Print Date: 12-December-2011 Jane Doe Parameter: Neutrophils - disrupted Degree: Mild In situations of acute immune challenge such as infection, allergy or toxicity, neutrophils may become overstimulated, causing their membranes to rupture and release the cell contents. If many neutrophils are in this state, immune protection may be compromised.

They form part of the immune defence system, but are rarely seen in the blood. Your basophils are within the normal range. Neutrophils - elevated (>65%) SA Monocytes are the ‘detectives’ of the immune system, investigating any new intruders in the body. They engulf and process the foreign material, alerting neutrophils and lymphocytes to the presence of infective agents and allergens. Their numbers may be increased during infection, especially at the very early stage before symptoms occur. Neutrophils are medium sized, silvery white blood cells. They are the ‘garbage collectors’ of the immune system, patrolling our bodies, cleaning up debris and removing toxic or infective material. Increased numbers of neutrophils may indicate an acute stage of infection or inflammation. Lymphocytes - low (<20%) Lymphocytes are small to medium sized, dull white blood cells and are part of your immune defence system. They are particularly involved in fighting viral infections, and also certain bacterial infections. Lymphocytes may be reduced at the very early stage of an infection, or when people are under stress.

Inflammation is produced under a wide range of circumstances including exposure to physical injury, infection, allergy, auto-immunity, toxicity and stress. Ongoing and untreated inflammation can be damaging to the body and should be addressed. Inflammation Management - Inflavonoid Intensive Care Inflavonoid Intensive Care contains a combination of herbs, including ginger, turmeric and quercetin, which have a broad and rapid anti-inflammatory effect. Inflavonoid Intensive Care may assist in reducing the symptoms of inflammation in your body while the underlying cause is being addressed. Infection (Viral) One or more signs in your blood indicate that you may be having an immune response to a viral infection. When you are exposed to a virus your immune system initiates a number of processes to defend you, including changes to the proportion of immune cells that fight viral infection. M PL E Viral Infection Management - Andro NK Detoxification SA Andro NK is an immune enhancing formulation that helps to maintain a normal healthy immune system. The herbs in Andro NK have traditionally been used for viral infections and may assist in reducing the severity and duration of colds by helping to relieve symptoms such as tiredness, sore throat, nasal secretion, headache and persistent coughs. Your blood shows one or more signs that you may benefit from a detoxification program. Toxins come in two broad categories; from your environment and those that your body produces itself. Over time toxins can accumulate in your body and make you feel tired, affect your mood, cause weight gain and inflammation. Your body may not be removing toxins adequately at present. Detoxification Management A detoxification program will be tailored to suit your specific needs. In the hands of a qualified health care practitioner, detoxification is a safe, easy process. It usualy involves the use of herbal medicines, beneficial bacteria and nutritional supplements to restore your body to full health. Iron, B12 and Folate support There are signs in your blood that may indicate you have an increased need for iron, vitamin B12 and / or folic acid. These nutrients are essential for healthy and uniform blood cell production and a lack of these results in symptoms that include fatigue or poor immune function. Iron, B12 and Folate Management - Hemagenics Intensive Care Hemagenics Intensive Care contains specific nutrients including iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid to promote the production of healthy red blood cells by the bone marrow. Hemagenics Intensive Care is of great benefit where there is an increased demand for these nutrients as occurs in pregnancy, lactation, growth, the elderly, athletes and vegetarians.
