Some interesting, controversial or surprising findings which are just some of the useful information in the IIFP Level 3 pathology analysis training course, which includes the following:

1. Why the mRNA produced spike proteins cause chronic health issues, the health issues caused by them, and pathology results of affected patients, and that there’s no way in the body to stop the production of the spike proteins
2. Studies showing that the mRNA spike proteins decimate your digestive microbiome, reducing immune system function, and other health effects
3. Why haemochromatosis isn’t what you think it is! If it’s genetic, then why doesn’t it appear until someone is in their 30s-60s?! Why some scientists now think that haemochromatosis isn’t genetic!
4. Which ethnicity and other diagnosis is extremely common with haemochromatosis?
5. The incredible mistake in calculating the RDAs for vitamin D, meaning that we’ve been under-dosing vitamin D pretty much forever!
6. How you CAN have anaemia and an iron overload (Haemochromatosis) at the same time!
7. Find out how doctors really interpret blood test results! You will be shocked! It’s worse than just using the lab reference ranges… Also learn why GPs don’t or cannot recommend some basic tests that we would like them to do
8. What lab reference ranges have changed recently, and why?!
9. What are the 5 things a patient needs to do to get the best results for us to interpret from?
10. What blood test results are seasonal, or have a diurnal effect?
11. New research into Ferritin, and additional causes of high Ferritin levels, or why are we even measuring this protein? (Because it’s not really related to iron levels!)
12. Which liver enzyme marker is actually more related to the heart and cardiovascular function than the liver?
13. And much more!

All these topics and more are discussed in detail, along with their pathology test results, in the IIPF Level 3 training course!
The Level 3 course is the “Masters” level of pathology analysis training, to help you master pathology analysis in your clinic, for your patients!

The Level 1 and 2 IIFP pathology analysis courses are a pre-requisite to doing the Level 3 course, as each level builds on information from the previous.

With the additional information in the Level 3 course, it now contains over 12 hours of amazing and useful information to help you master the analysis and interpretation of pathology tests in your clinical practice, and to help your clients!

The Level 3 course is still only $99, but will be going up in price in the new year because of the amount of information it contains, and there’s more information coming!

Black Friday and Xmas discounts are available on bundles of the IIFP courses and/or software, as per the previous post on this page! These are not available on the IIFP website!

Friday funny meme!

But also what you can do about it...

We regularly hear about patients being told that their bloods are all "normal", when they have a number of symptoms and they are not feeling well. Because doctors don't understand how to interpret blood test results properly. So what hope do these patients have to getting answers to their health issues? They need to come to see YOU, but only if YOU know how to interpret the blood test results properly, in a holistic, personalised and naturopathic way!

With the IIFP (Institute for Integrative and Functional Pathology) training courses on interpreting and understanding pathology results, you can find issues in a patient's results, even when they are told that there's nothing wrong. You can find issues well before they become a serious problem. And you can help these patients and turn their health issues around!

Have a look at the IIFP's training courses and resources, including a pathology analysis software for helping you to analyse the results and generate reports for patients, and bundles of the training and software here:

It seems that even medical health practitioners don’t understand anaemia and interpreting blood test results!

In a recent patient I found they had unknown/undiagnosed anaemia, which explained a lot of their symptoms of poor memory and concentration, inability to focus on things, headaches, and anxiety – all because the brain wasn’t getting enough blood or oxygen.

With there being hundreds of types of anaemia, it is important to understand what type of anaemia someone has, and what might be causing it. Anaemia is not all about iron!

This same patient had a B12 deficiency anaemia and a folate deficiency anaemia, called Macrocytic Anaemia from their high MCV results, which was confirmed with low B12 and folate. They were also a long-term vegetarian, and the diet was lacking in protein and together with low stomach function, had caused low Total Protein results. This was also likely causing the low production of haemoglobin, hence the anaemia.

But the iron results were very interesting! See the attached pic of the results.

Almost all of the iron results showed an iron overload in 2 previous sets of results! High serum iron and very high TS. But nothing was mentioned or done about this by the patient’s medical practitioner in the last 2 years and many blood tests in this time.

It actually gets worse… that the patient’s doctor recommended several iron infusions based on the patient having low ferritin. Even though the other iron studies results suggested they were in an overload situation! The existing iron overload and the additional high iron dose from the infusion would have doubled the oxidative damage being done to the body, and worsening the physical and mental health symptoms.

As the last blood results were from 8 months ago and I wanted to see some more current and some additional test results, the patient went back to their doctor to ask for these tests, including the genetic testing for haemochromatosis. I heard later from the patient that the doctor was in disbelief that I was suggesting that they had iron overload and anaemia at the same time. I’m in disbelief that the doctor couldn’t see the iron overload problem and still recommended and iron infusion!

Some lessons to learn in this example:

1. Anaemia is not just about iron, but about zinc, protein, thyroid function, stomach function, blood loss, parasites, and other causes and factors. Find what type of anaemia someone has and the causes and factors in each person

2. Do not just test for ferritin, or look at ferritin alone as a marker of iron sufficiency or deficiency! You can have low ferritin even in iron overload situations, or have high ferritin with low iron results.

3. And yes you CAN have anaemia AND an iron overload (haemochromatosis) issue at the same time!

The following vitamin B12 results, which I often see, shows why the believed "Active B12" test is not the best test for B12 status at all.

The Active B12 result was optimal, but the Total B12 result is very low, and only 1/2 of what it should be as an optimal minimum.

Hence this is still a picture of a B12 deficiency, whereas if you only got the Active B12 test done, you wouldn't see the problem and likely wouldn't have investigated why the B12 is low or recommended anything for this to help the patient.

This is why I recommend the Total B12 test and not the Active B12 test to be done.

Dr Norman Swan, a so-called celebrity doctor is often on the ABC as a medical advisor. He was the federal government's main health spokesman during the covid years, where he was (and still is) pushing the you-know-what as being "safe and effective". Despite all the science to the contrary.

In his almost 50 years as a doctor, he seems to have learnt something shocking today!

Dr Swan had an interview with a fellow doctor about blood tests for liver function and fatty liver disease. She explained how she quickly skims through pathology results which have come in from the labs each day, which is a concern. She was just looking for highlighted or bolded results for patients which fall outside of the reference range, and nothing else!

Dr Swan told a story from a listener about her husband's blood test results, and in particular the liver function markers, which were in the "normal" range but he in fact had a fatty liver. He spoke with a liver specialist doctor who said that the pathology lab's reference ranges (she called them the "normal ranges") are lab-specific, even when labs use the same equipment! If the normal ranges are lab-specific, they are also location-specific too, as population centres with more cases of fatty liver will have different reference ranges to other locations. Dr Swan was "gobsmacked" when he learnt this!

I could have told him 10 years ago!

I wonder what Dr Swan will say when he finds out that the reference ranges for ALL blood pathology results are just a statistical average of unhealthy peoples' results! This is not a great way at all to interpret patients' blood test results.

It seems that all the doctors in this chat need to do the IIFP pathology analysis training courses, and to learn how to properly interpret all blood test results!

Here's the link to the ABC interview with Dr Swan:

Liver disease is becoming more common, in particular fatty liver disease. It affects up to 1 in 3 Australian adults. A common test – ALT or alanine transaminase – is used as a measure of liver health. However there’s huge variation in what different labs considered concerning, meaning some peo...

Amazing breaking news!

The next generation of the IIFP pathology analysis software is underway! It will be an online, operating system and browser-independent web-based platform, to replace the current spreadsheet file!

This will give practitioners a LOT more functionality, more features, more reports, and being easier and quicker to access from any browser or operating system or online device.

We have a team of developers starting on this project this month! There is going to be a huge amount of work to develop this new service, and will likely be ready later this year!

I would like to get some ideas from the practitioners who have done the IIFP training and using the current software, of any thoughts, requests or suggestions for features that you would like to see in this online pathology analysis service?

Please add your thoughts and ideas in the comments!
