 When
I was doing my undergraduate work at UC Davis, I spent much of my time
in the medical school doing Neurosurgical stroke research. Our team
discovered if you administer large doses of barbiturates to the patient
just after a stroke, less brain tissue dies. It is still never used.
Whether it is liability issues or impossibility of new drugs to be
patented and economically controlled, most strokes do their damage
and we just hope for the best outcome. In Oncology and hematology,
normal $500 microscopes are still the favorite even amongst the chiefs
at Cedars or St. Johns. That is because their textbooks of disease
were written for a blood SMEAR and a STAIN, which takes a pretty nice
snapshot of structures within white cells and observes the red cells
in a generalized view.
After going to Europe and specifically Germany about 25 times, I
spent week after week with pathologists, hematologists and normal
general doctors who exclusively use Darkfield Microscopy in their
assessment. It spreads light to create an OUTLINE of every cell and
particle in the plasma. Now we can see how the cells actually behave
in a living state. These microscopes run around $16,000, but that’s
the price of seeing the true state. As the oxygen becomes depleted
under the coverglass, a rate of degeneration is seen proportionate
to the state of health of the patient. This method of interpretation
called Enderlein Analysis was astounding to me, and so I decided
to bring it to the US in 1990. It sees what they miss. |
