PPPs are found during a dried blood evaluation, which are used to give a more in depth look into the health of the individual. PPPs are seen as white areas which look like holes with black tentacle like lines running out from its form. They are soft clots called polymerised protein puddles and vary in size from small white dots to larger ones. They indicate the degree of tissue health, often associated with free radical damage / oxidative stress and toxins in the terrain. The shape, size and location of the PPPs may indicate the nature of the condition.
This image was taken on my microscope using a 40X objective. When projected onto a screen it becomes roughly 2000X magnification.
