Since the pandemic era swept through the world, I’ve been receiving an increasing number of messages with links, images, and shaky videos showing blood samples, most accompanied by ominous claims about nanotechnology infiltrating our biology. Some of these claims come from online influencers, Substack writers, or self-declared researchers. And each time I open one of these messages, I feel the same pull between deep concern and quiet disbelief.
It’s not that the body isn’t being exposed to modern challenges. It absolutely is. We are swimming in a soup of heavy metals, microplastics, glyphosate, EMFs, synthetic hormones, and atmospheric particulates. Our bodies are dealing with unprecedented burdens. But the leap from environmental toxicity to claims of fully functioning nanobots self-assembling within the blood is not only unfounded. It’s a dangerous distraction from the real work.
I’ve been looking at blood for years. I’ve seen the living terrain of thousands of clients, their journeys, their imbalances, their strengths, their repair mechanisms. I’ve watched blood respond to grief, to healing, to nourishment, to trauma. I know this language intimately, and I do not see nanobots.
But lately, people are insisting they do. So let’s speak clearly about what’s being reported.
Some claim to see long threadlike structures, described as synthetic fibers or nano-cables, when in fact these may be fibrin strands, unfolded proteins, or in some cases, artifacts from a dirty slide or poor sample handling. Others point to blinking or glowing particles, interpreting them as activated nanobots. What they’re really witnessing is light refracted through lipid particles, cholesterol crystals, or microzymas moving in and out of the plane of focus.
There are declarations of geometric circuitry, crystalline shapes forming networks across the plasma. These are interpreted as evidence of intelligent design, even cloud-connected communication nodes. In one video I reviewed, a practitioner pointed to what she called a construction zone where nanobots were building circuitry. It was an air bubble.
I’ve also seen people point to chylomicrons or lipid vesicles and call them parasites or robotic invaders. There is a complete lack of grounding in biological literacy in many of these claims. A forgetting that the blood is already intelligent, already alive with complex microstructures and shimmering, light-sensitive components.
Some of these individuals are now offering courses, microscope trainings, and protocols to remove the nanobots. They recommend chelation, sometimes extreme. EDTA is often the compound of choice, promoted as a magical pulling agent to rid the body of metal-based technology. But EDTA is a polyvalent anionic compound. It doesn’t pull anything. It alters surface charge, disperses certain metallic ions, and supports the body’s own detoxification pathways. When used improperly or excessively, it can be dangerous.
And here’s the deeper issue. The microscope is a powerful tool. It creates a mirror that shows a person their own living inner terrain. That image, those cells, that plasma, those tiny moving beings, they are sacred. They show truth. But when the practitioner holds fear-based or inaccurate beliefs, that image becomes a projection screen. What should be empowering becomes terrifying. What should awaken connection becomes a trigger for control. I’ve witnessed people spiral into obsession, convinced they are filled with machines. I’ve spoken to individuals who’ve harmed their health, over-detoxifying, over-chelating, trying to fix something that was never there.
The placebo effect is real. But so is the nocebo. If a person believes they’re broken, that belief can become more powerful than any actual imbalance. And if a practitioner confirms those fears through misinterpretation of what’s seen in the blood, harm is inevitable.
We must return to grounding.
In every live blood session, what I’m looking for goes far beyond the red and white cells. I’m listening to the whispers between the spaces, the plasma, the flow, the way the cells relate. This is where the body reveals its internal symphony, and I orient myself by five core dynamic systems. They are the anchors. The rhythms beneath the visible terrain. When these five systems are in harmony, the body has the capacity to repair, detoxify, regenerate, and re-pattern itself. When they are disrupted, nothing functions properly and everything compensates.

Membrane Lipid Integrity is where I often begin. The cell membrane is not just a wall. It’s an intelligent, semi-permeable interface between the inner world and the outer one. If the lipids are oxidized, rigid, or deficient in key fatty acids, then nothing flows properly. Nutrients can’t get in, waste can’t get out, and receptor communication begins to break down. This reflects in the blood as bottle cap formations, target cells, and sometimes unusual fragility in red cells. And this isn’t just about fats. It’s about the quality of the oils in one’s life, both literally and metaphorically. It’s about boundaries, fluidity, and the ability to navigate stress and nourishment with grace.
Electrolyte Balance is another foundational key. These are not just salts. They are charge carriers, messengers of bioelectric potential. The soil needs calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium in proper ratios to grow thriving crops, and so does the body. When electrolyte regulation is off, everything from blood viscosity to nerve signaling to mitochondrial function begins to slip. I can often see this in sticky blood, clotting tendencies, or erratic white cell motion. This tells me how well the inner electrical grid is conducting.
pH Regulation is the living balance of acid and alkaline states. Not in a trendy diet way, but in the subtle buffering systems of the kidneys, lungs, and blood plasma. The body will sacrifice minerals, protein structure, and organ function to maintain a tight pH range, because without it, enzymes stop working and cells die. I see this most often in uric acid crystals, rouleaux formations, and the shapes of the red cells themselves. If the terrain is too acidic or if buffering has been exhausted, the blood shows it clearly.
Mitochondrial Energy Production is life itself. The mitochondria are ancient symbiotic microbes that became part of our cellular being, and their ability to make ATP is at the core of vitality. When the mitochondria are burdened by toxicity, nutrient deficiency, or lack of oxygen, energy production crashes. This is visible in the blood as low cell motility, stagnation, clumping, and sometimes in the ghost-like fading of plasma vibrancy. And without energy, nothing can heal.
Autonomic Nervous System Flow is perhaps the most overlooked and yet the most telling. If a person is living in a sympathetic state, fight, flight, or freeze, the blood shows it. White cells retreat, digestion shuts down, oxygen delivery falters, and the terrain becomes tight and closed. When parasympathetic tones are dominant, rest, digest, repair, everything softens, opens, and breathes. I listen for this in how the blood responds over time during the session, especially in movement, clumping patterns, and cellular vitality.
Together, these five systems create the foundation of what I call biological coherence. They reflect the inner soil, the terrain from which all health and illness emerge. Just like in the gardens at Living Ground, if the soil is dead, no amount of spraying, weeding, or artificial tweaking will restore true life. But if we build the microbial richness, the structure, the mineral content, and the moisture, the plants thrive. The same is true for us.
So no, I do not look for nanobots. I look for charge. I look for movement. I look for flow, structure, resilience, and relationship. I look for how the body is trying to adapt, even when depleted. And I respond by supporting these core dynamics through food, herbs, rest, connection, and microbial nourishment.
Because when these five systems are tended to with care, the body remembers how to heal. The blood returns to flow. And the person reconnects not only with vitality, but with their own inner soil.
