Ask The Blood Detective: Recent Episodes
Dr Michael Wald
Dr. Michael Wald has combined his 30-yrs of clinical success with his BloodDetective Technology that allows him to interpret large amounts of laboratory data for hidden nutritional health solutions. According to Dr. Wald, "blood type is only one lab parameter, I often combine more than 25 different lab tests, or many more, using my BloodDetective software, that compares your test results to "healthy" people and not just "average" clinical lab ranges that traditional medical doctors use. "It's not uncommon for me to perform a nutritional interpretation of a patient's lab results, comparing them to "healthy" and, "WALA" hidden health and nutritional issues are revealed. But labs are not all that Dr. Wald uses to personalize his natural treatments approaches that might include dietary advice, nutritional supplement advice, advice regarding stress reduction, sleep and other lifestyle choices." Dr. Wald believes that, tests for absorption/malabsorption, blood pH and inflammation should be performed on every one of his patients in order to enhance the healing process."*DISCLAIMER: Dr. Michael Wald is a doctor of chiropractic with a masters degree in nutrition.

Weight gain, and loss of lean body mass, is associated with fat gain. Once you have lost lean body mass, and you can know this through a body composition test, then you will likely experience more weight gain. It will also be more difficult to lose weight. Inflammation and epigenetic factors (how the environment influences health) are often part of the cause of difficulty losing weight and gaining fat. Hyperbaric therapy uses ambient air under various pressures to increase cellular oxygenation, reduce inflammation that promotes fat retention and helps weight loss genes work. Learn more ways that hyperbaric therapy may help weight loss and promote lean mass retention in the body.

Not all lab tests are the same. Physicians of a given field of medicine tend to run specific groups of tests for their specialty; and the problem with this approach and structure of medicine is that often the "big picture" is missed. Dr. Wald's approach is not limited to performing limited tests within a specialty, but instead includes ordering various tests that provide the "whole picture" of a person's chemistry. According to Dr. Wald, "first I start with a detailed health and nutritional history and then I decide which tests, from whatever specialty, is needed for me to "see" the patient as they are - as holistic in design.
The "right tests" for the right person involves listening to what you are experiencing and then applying natural and nutritional therapies against your symptoms and your lab results. However, the most important difference with Dr. Wald's approach is that he often includes in his personalized approach for his patients a nutritional interpretation of blood test results compared to "healthy people".
Your typical blood tests that are often ordered by your doctor are derived by comparing the various blood levels of average populations of people - like those who donate blood. These "seemingly" healthy people may, and often do, have one or more diseases present, but go unappreciated in that the "average" blood test result ranges on your blood tests are not based upon "healthy people", but merely seemingly well people.
"There is no wonder why we are seeing more and more disease over time - doctors have been comparing people to "average" or what is known as "clinical ranges" instead of comparing their patients against "healthy" ranges. The healthy ranges are derived from studies of healthy people so that the optimal or ideal blood range (healthy) can be used to compare a person’s blood work against - often revealing hidden health issues; this is what Dr. Wald calls a "nutritional interpretation of blood work. “I have seen patients that have been either incorrectly or misdiagnosed such that, when I perform a nutritional interpretation of their blood, hidden health and nutritional problems are revealed. This leads me to create personalized and focused nutritional solutions to health problems."

Regardless of what your health problem is or what someone has, nutritional wellness is linked to every type of disease as either the cause of it or making it worse and better. Nutrition has an underlying positive effect, when done right, in healing.
Dr. Wald uses his Blood detective approach by entering someone's blood work into his Blood Detective software and comparing the results to “average” and “healthy” people. Healthy people have a different chemistry from unhealthy and average people. Dr. Wald looks at the blood test results to detect things other doctors might have missed or that may not be obvious to them if they don’t have extensive nutritional training in reading lab results.
Dr. Wald then formulates a plan where a person can take pharmaceutical grade supplements among other changes to things such as food, exercise, stress, sleep, and other factors to promote healing and wellness.
