Alternative diagnostic methods whether or not to use them

People with health problems, poor mood, prolonged fatigue, tiredness, decreased activity, and lack of energy to perform daily activities seek help from alternative medicine, especially if the condition persists for a long time and they are tired of repeated poor medical visits. The results of such studies are often unreliable because there is no scientific confirmation of their clinical validity and usefulness. Increasing public awareness and access to knowledge do not preclude the search for new alternative diagnostic methods for different disease units.

1. A microscopic test of live blood droplets

The purpose of the test is to determine the cause of the health problems and to select a personalised blood drop test to eliminate the cause. Fresh blood is taken from the hair of a finger and applied to a microscopic lens and examined under a light microscope in the so-called clear and dark field of view. Due to the lack of specialized techniques and the use of a live blood drop testing by people without the laboratory diagnostic qualifications, this test is considered undiagnostic to determine a variety of disorders.

2. Primary tissue analysis (hair and nails)

The assumption is that harmful substances accumulate in the body and can cause various diseases (e.g. allergies) due to a regulated immune system. There is also no evidence to confirm the difference in the level of toxic substances between healthy people and allergic people. Primary tissue analysis plays a significant role in toxicological studies in forensic medicine, clinical studies, sports, driver tests and employee control. However, the study allows to detect even trace amounts of potentially toxic substances in the blood. The presence of different types of toxic substance in the brain is more stable than in other tissues and organs after the flow of blood.

They and their families are losing confidence in pharmaceutical companies, seeking conspiracy theories and alternative solutions in a gray area. An analysis published in the scientific journal JAMA Oncology has shown that patients diagnosed with malignant tumors who are currently using this type of therapy die more often than patients who are using this treatment. There is no evidence of alternative treatment options available to patients using this kind of therapy, and there is evidence to suggest that the use of alternative therapeutic methods to treat these patients may be disadvantageous, but that these methods may be less effective than those used to diagnose the disease themselves.
