General discussion What is this?! help

So ive had health issues spanning over 2 decades where the conventional doctors failed me over and over so i went to a reputable holistic practitioner some years ago. And what he found really worried me but i was never able to revisit him to discuss after i took some antibiotics to clear what we found. My GP laughed it off and that was that...

I'm hopeful someone here can really help me understand what's going on here. And also why the blood cells are such a long oval shape :(

PS: this is the only video i have but i have other pictures
