Diagnostic Techniques

Biological Medicine is a multi-disciplinary approach that utilizes a variety of diagnostic techniques, including an in-depth personal history and physical examination, to assess each patient completely.

Detailed explanations of some diagnostic tools include:

CONTACT Regulation Thermography (CRT)

Computer Regulation Thermography is a tool used to get a functional picture of all of the organ systems in the body. CRT is a non-invasive, reproductive thermographic tool that evaluates pre-determined skin temperature points and detects changes in the body’s temperature regulation in order to produce data that can be used for adjunctive diagnosis of certain diseases.

Dark Field Microscopy

Viewing a fresh, natural blood sample under the technology of a dark field microscope, will reveal conditions of your blood not even considered during a normal blood test. Practitioners are able to evaluate the shapes and other properties of individual blood cells that give a much more complete picture of your inner milieu.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)

HRV refers to the beat-to-beat alterations in heart rate. The origin of the heartbeat is located in a sino-atrial (SA) note of the heart, where a group of specialized cells continuously generate an electrical impulse spreading all over the heart muscle’s specialized pathways, and creating a process of heart muscle contractions well synchronized between both atriums and ventricles. The heart rate variability analysis is a powerful tool in assessing the autonomic function. It is accurate, reliable, reproducible, yet simple to measure and process. The source of information for HRV is a continuous beat-by-beat measurement of interbeat intervals.

Specialized Blood Tests

Measure for toxicity, metabolic function and allergies. This is common in most clinics and practices.
