Kleinsche Fields improve blood properties: Results of a randomized, double-blind & placebo-controlled study
Our blood reveals a lot about our state of health. Dark-field microscopy is a special technique for examining living blood. Naturopath Jörg Rinne, a specialist in this field, used such a microscope under the guidance of experienced naturopath and medical coach Ralf Meyer to investigate the effect of Kleinsche Fields on vital blood.
The special microscopic technique enabled the study makers to directly observe the vital blood of the 20 test subjects. Live blood samples were examined without fixing or staining them beforehand. In this way, the structure and composition of the blood can be analyzed in real time.
For the randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled observational study, 20 test subjects were given a mattress topper - 10 of them a BioRelax mattress topper with Kleinsche Fields technology and 10 a placebo mat. The test subjects slept on the mattress topper every night for three months and were asked to undergo blood tests three times: before, during (6 weeks after the start) and after (12 weeks after the start) the test phase.
Interesting facts
Dark-field microscopy allows a holistic view of the blood. In their natural state, the activity of the cells can be assessed - how they interact and whether there are any abnormalities that cannot be easily measured chemically, such as the aggregation of platelets or micro-inflammation. It is therefore a dynamic observation, which gives us a completely different picture. The following are considered in this observational study:
- Signs of inflammation
- Red blood cell health (erythrocyte health)
- Platelet aggregation
- Uric acid crystals in the blood
- Leukocyte function
- Membrane stability/liver metabolism
- Hematocrit value
- Oxidative stress
In a classic blood test, the blood is usually chemically analyzed in a laboratory. Values such as the haemoglobin level, the number of red and white blood cells or other parameters are obtained. These are of course important, but only provide static information.
To determine whether there is a visible difference in the vital blood parameters between the control group and the group with the Kleinsche Fields mattress topper, the sum of all deviations of the three tests was recorded and displayed for all test subjects. A high total value means a greater negative deviation from the ideal state. The lower the value, the better the state of health according to the assessment of the vital blood analysis parameters.

Summary of all measurement results
Better state of health due to Kleinsche Fields
The comparison between the control and verum groups shows whether a difference in blood quality was visible after the application of the Kleinsche Fields. All vital blood parameters recorded in the individual examinations were taken into account. This summary shows positive and significant effects of the Kleinsche Fields mattress topper on the health status of the blood of the test participants.
Test group with Kleinsche Fields
The initial situation was almost identical to that of the control group. After just 6 weeks, however, there was a significant difference: 21.6 % improvement in the verum group compared to 6 % improvement in the control group. The average state of health, measured by vital blood parameters, improved significantly. This positive change increased to 37 % after 12 weeks of use compared to the control group (6 %).
Test group without Kleinsche Fields
Before using the placebo mat, the test subjects had a total score of 21.6. This dropped slightly in the second examination after 6 weeks to a value of 20.3 and then remained constant until the final examination after 12 weeks of use.
First indications of a systemic effect
Reduction of inflammatory reactions
While acute inflammation is often useful and necessary, chronic inflammation can lead to health problems if it is excessive or directed against healthy tissue. The application of Kleinsche Fields resulted in a highly significant reduction in inflammatory processes in the test subjects. The signs of inflammation in the dark-field microscope were reduced by 13.6 % just 6 weeks after the start of application and by 48.9 % after 12 weeks of application.
Vital blood analysis shows early changes
Signs of inflammation become visible in vital blood
Under the dark-field microscope, various changes in the vital blood can indicate increased inflammatory activity:
- Clumping of red blood cells: This may indicate increased inflammatory activity
- Changes in the shape and structure of blood cells: Inflammation can change the shape of erythrocytes
- Increased white blood cell count: This is a typical sign of an immune response to inflammation
- Presence of cell debris and microorganisms: These may indicate infection or inflammation
Reduced platelet aggregation detectable
Platelets clump together less
In the user group with Kleinsche Fields, there was first an increase of 7.1 % and after a further 6 weeks a significant drop in platelet activity and thus less tendency for platelets (blood platelets) to aggregate by 50 %. At the same time, the leukocytes (white blood cells) showed a 50 % reduction in the inflammatory reaction after 12 weeks, which means that these two statements reinforce each other.
Thrombocytes under the dark-field microscope
Platelets react with a time delay
Platelet aggregation is the process by which blood platelets (thrombocytes) stick together to form a blood clot. The number of platelets increases in inflammatory processes and with them also the tendency to aggregate. Dark-field microscopy reveals this type of pathological clumping of platelets. When the inflammation subsides, this can be seen relatively early in the decrease in leukocytes (white blood cells). The platelet count decreases with a time delay and therefore at a slower rate.
Decrease in erythrocyte pathology
Improved formation and vitality of red blood cells
Many parameters have an influence on blood formation and thus on the structure and stability of red blood cells (erythrocytes). Users of Kleinsche Fields experienced a highly significant optimization of these factors by 47.4 % after 6 weeks of use and by 57.9 % after 12 weeks. Significantly fewer pathological changes were seen in the blood after three months of use. An improvement in red blood cell pathology can in turn lead to a better oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which can be crucial in many areas of the body.
Functions of red blood cells for health
Red blood cells have more than one important function
Functions of red blood cells for healthRed blood cells have more than one important functionRed blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, have several important functions in the body:
- Oxygen transport: they transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs.
- Carbon dioxide transport: They bring carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs, where it is exhaled.
- pH regulation: They help regulate the pH of the blood by absorbing and releasing excess acids and bases.
These functions are crucial for the survival and health of the body. Without enough red blood cells, the body cannot function efficiently and fatigue and other health problems can occur.
Improved uric acid concentration detectable in vital blood
Fewer uric acid crystals in the blood
A significant improvement in the concentration of uric acid in the blood and thus in the breakdown and excretion of uric acid was observed in the participants in the Kleinsche Fields technology verum group. Already after the first six weeks of use, 23.0 % fewer uric acid crystals were visible in the blood. This effect also increased after a further six weeks of use to a reduction in uric acid crystals of 30.7 %.

Avoiding an imbalance between formation and excretion
In the human organism, large quantities of new cells are formed every day and outdated cells are broken down. The uric acid produced in this process is mainly excreted via the kidneys, but also via the skin (sweat), saliva and intestinal secretion. However, if there is an imbalance between the production and excretion of uric acid, the uric acid can precipitate in the blood in the form of refractive crystals. If uric acid levels are elevated in the long term, this can lead to gout.
Vital blood shows better flow properties
Reduction in rouleaux formation
Users of Kleinsche Fields technology experienced a 38.9 % reduction in rouleaux formation in the first six weeks and a 16.7 % reduction from the baseline value after 12 weeks, which can have a positive effect on blood flow.
Hematocrit under a dark-field microscope
What is rouleaux formation?
In the case of rouleaux formation, the red blood cells lie close together under the microscope - like the coins in a roll of coins. The agglomeration of red blood cells is favored if the hematocrit value deviates from the ideal. This is the percentage of cellular elements in the total blood volume. The normal values in the tabular blood count are approx. 40 - 50 % blood cells, 96 % of which are red blood cells (erythrocytes). Even slight deviations can lead to "rouleaux" in the capillary blood and cause circulatory disorders.
Visible reduction in the effect of free radicals
Less oxidative stress
The use of Kleinsche Fields technology resulted in a significant reduction in the free radical effect within the blood samples examined by 28.6 % after 6 weeks and 14.3 % after 12 weeks.
Free radicals can damage cells
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance in our body between harmful molecules, known as free radicals, and the defence mechanisms that are supposed to neutralize them. Free radicals can damage cells and tissue, which can lead to various diseases and ageing processes. Normally, our body has antioxidants to help fight these free radicals, but when there are too many free radicals, it is called oxidative stress.
Significantly stronger "cell envelope" detectable
More stable red blood cell membrane
The red blood cell membranes of those using Kleinsche Fields technology stabilized by 32.0 % after six weeks and by 44.0 % after 12 weeks.
Membrane stability in dark-field microscopy
What does membrane stability mean?
Membrane stability refers to the ability of the cell membrane to maintain its structure and function under different conditions. In dark-field microscopy, you can see how well the cell membrane remains intact and functions. If the membrane stability is high, it means that the cells are healthy and their membranes are not easily damaged. If the membrane stability is low, the cells may be more susceptible to damage and dysfunction.
In addition, two case studies were documented:
- One participant reported a reduction in swollen legs: since using the Kleinsche Fields mattress topper, there was a significant decrease in swollen legs during the day.
- In addition, the participant previously had 5-6 cramps per night. Sleeping on Kleinsche Fields reduced the cramps to 1-2 per night. This improved her ability to fall asleep because she was no longer "afraid of cramps". Sleeping through the night also improved.
- Another participant with the mattress topper reported that he fell asleep more quickly, slept better through the night, was able to concentrate better and his joint pain had improved significantly.
Results of the observational study at a glance
The results of the observational study provide initial indications that Kleinsche Fields can have a positive influence on general health. All vital blood parameters showed an improvement in the dark-field microscope after 12 weeks of using the Kleinsche Fields. This could play an important role in the prevention and alleviation of complaints.
According to the results and patient reports available here, the authors of Kleinsche Fields Technology clearly recommend its use in the prevention, maintenance of health and as a therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of microcirculatory disorders, chronic inflammation, metabolic disorders, chronic pain, sleep disorders and energy deficiency states.
Is the observational study relevant for everyday life?
Our conclusion of the observational study
The vital blood parameters examined allow initial conclusions to be drawn about general health and also what role the application of Kleinsche Fields could play in chronic diseases, cell ageing and metabolic disorders:
Whether the red blood cells are optimally formed, the platelets clump together pathologically or there is inflammation has an influence on the blood circulation and, above all, on the microcirculation. Improving these parameters can therefore have a positive effect on the flow properties of the blood.
Healthy red blood cells are essential for many vital functions in the body: without healthy erythrocytes our body would not be supplied with sufficient oxygen. A sufficient number of healthy red blood cells is necessary in order to avoid fatigue and weakness and to maintain physical performance.
Chronic inflammation in particular can put a strain on the body and damage organs and tissue in the long term. They are often associated with complaints such as heart disease, diabetes and circulatory disorders. Reducing the signs of inflammation can therefore improve quality of life and performance in many areas.
