Buying a Microscope
Live Blood Analysis requires a special type of microscope, known as a darkfield microscope.
This allows us to have a unique view of blood cells and the plasma that surrounds them.
There are many different versions available but some are definitely better than others for LDBA …. so how do we choose?

Please Note: Live Blood Analysis is not a medical blood test and is not a diagnostic tool. It is a complementary health screening technique used by qualified practitioners alongside conventional healthcare. Only qualified medical doctors can diagnose disease.
What is Live & Dry Blood Analysis?
Live & Dry Blood Analysis (LDBA) is anholistic health assessment tool, that involves examining a drop of blood under a microscope and interpreting the information it gives us about the body. This can then be used to guide us towards optimum health.
Live Blood Sample
During ‘Live’ blood analysis (also known as Live Blood Microscopy or Live Blood Cell Analysis) a drop of fresh capillary blood is viewed in its live state (not oxidised, preserved, treated or stained with chemicals) under a microscope. It is magnified 1000x in order to view the condition of the blood cells and the plasma and reveal any other contents of the blood that can be signs of imbalance.
Dry Blood Sample
‘Dry’ blood analysis (also known as the Oxidative Stress Test or Dried Blood Layer Analysis) is when a drop of blood is left to clot and dry on a slide, leaving patterns that are indicative of various imbalances such as metal toxicity or vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
What is Blood Analysis used for?
LDBA can identify specific nutrients that may be lacking, give indications of stress in certain organs, and assess levels of inflammation, oxidation or toxicity. It can also help determine digestive capacity and health of the microbiome, as well as indicate the general state of health in the tissues of the body (known as the ‘internal terrain’).
A skilled practitioner can use the results of this analysis to gain a deeper understanding of what may be happening within the body of a client, get to the root cause of symptoms and offer advice that is aimed at supporting the body’s natural drive for optimum health.
Can LDBA be used to diagnose disease?
Only qualified doctors can diagnose disease. Blood tests generally are only a screening process to pickup various imbalances that can be detected through the blood. This also applies to Live & Dry Blood Analysis.
Is LDBA based on scientific research?
Yes. LDBA was pioneered by scientists in the 18th & 19th Centuries such as Antoine Bechamp and Claude Bernard, and has continued to be developed ever since. In parts of Europe it is used extensively by integrative medical practitioners. Read more.
Who Uses Live Blood Analysis?
Live and Dry Blood Analysis is used by a wide range of medical professionals and qualified complementary health practitioners as an additional screening tool, including:
Nutritional Therapists and Naturopathic Nutritionists
Naturopaths
Chiropractors
Herbalists and Medical Herbalists
Homeopaths
Colon Hydrotherapists
Acupuncturists and TCM Practitioners
Integrative Medicine physicians

About Naturecure Academy
The world’s leading provider of professional Live & Dry Blood Analysis training — trusted by students in over 30 countries.
Naturecure Academy was founded in 2017 by Shirah and Paul Mustardé, taking over and completely rebuilding the InHealth LDBA training course. Our mission is simple: to provide the most rigorous, up-to-date, and professionally recognised Live & Dry Blood Analysis training available anywhere in the world. Since 2019 we have trained hundreds of students across 30+ countries, helping nutritionists, naturopaths, and complementary health practitioners add blood analysis to their practice with genuine confidence and competence.
Live Blood Analysis (also known as Live Blood Microscopy) involves viewing a fresh drop of blood under a darkfield microscope at 1000× magnification — a powerful holistic health screening tool used by complementary health practitioners worldwide.
Dry Blood Analysis (the Oxidative Stress Test) examines dried blood patterns to indicate levels of oxidative stress, nutritional deficiencies, and toxicity.
Neither is a medical blood test and neither can diagnose disease. Both are used as screening tools alongside conventional healthcare.
We are the only Live Blood Analysis training provider in the world accredited by three independent international bodies: the IICT, CMA, and IPHM.
Every student receives personalised one-to-one video feedback on their three assessed case studies from our Course Director — ensuring real competency, not just completion.
Our fully on-demand format means you can start immediately and study at your own pace, from anywhere in the world.
Shirah is a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist and one of the most experienced Live & Dry Blood Analysts in the UK. She has been analysing blood and teaching students since 2011, and brings over a decade of clinical and teaching experience to every course. Students benefit from direct access to her expertise throughout their training — including one-to-one mentoring during the case study process.
