Oligoscan PDF Processor
Version: 1.01 (alpha)DISCLAIMER:
This analysis tool is a "best effort" to interpret Oligoscan PDF reports. It can and will continue to evolve over time, and should never be taken as medical advice or a prescription.
Background:
Oligoscan provides a highly convenient way to estimate intracellular mineral data. However, there are currently a number of limitations that prevent the data from being used at face value, eg.
1. Skin calcium and iron markers are not helpful in understanding systemic levels, as 99% of calcium is stored in skeletal tissue and 75% of iron is circulating.
2. The standard lower and upper thresholds for indicating severe deficiencies are not sensitive enough.
3. The Oligoscan practitioner's handbook indicates certain mineral elevations need to be inverted and re-interpreted as "low". My analysis of Oligoscan reports vs data obtained from simultaneous "white blood cell nutrients" testing suggests this should apply to a wider array of markers. Further analysis is needed.
4. Helpful biochemistry details regarding specific deficiencies are not provided in the standard report.
In the future, it's entirely possible the company behind Oligoscan may update their reports around these and other observations. In the meantime, you can either consult an Oligoscan practitioner to interpret your report, or use the tool below.
Notes and known limitations:
1. Does not yet work with SO/Check reports.
2. Untested on Oligoscan reports generated in languages other than English.
3. Only works on the ORIGINAL PDF results - photos and scanned images will not work. Comparison reports will not work, either.
4. Output PDF reports have been simplified to show mineral results as deviation% from "ideal". However, if you'd also like the raw data, it is contained in the optional CSV file.
5. As of v1.0.1, mineral test report data deviation% is now aligned to SO/Check scaling.
