Live Blood Analysis Training

Professional Live & Dry Blood Analyst Certification

Launched in 2019, this course includes the latest science and best practises, whilst being based on the experience of teaching Live & Dry Blood Analysis (LDBA) students for over 10 years. 

This online Naturecure Academy course will take you from beginner to certified blood analyst, or is ideal for existing practitioners who want to update their training. 

The course covers all aspects of blood analysis - both Live (darkfield cell microscopy) and Dry (oxidative stress testing).

Join our supportive community of students from over 20 countries around the world - including United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland.

The Course Format 

• The course follows a modular format made up of a pre-reading section followed by over 12 hours of video theory lectures and practical video demonstrations with accompanying manuals (see below for the course syllabus). 

• There are also lots of practise exercises designed to gradually build your confidence in the various techniques required for LDBA. 

• Access from anywhere - view the course content in your web browser or the dedicated mobile app.

• Finally, to gain your Certificate of Competence in Live & Dry Blood Analysis, you are required to submit three practise-client case studies. These allow you to gain real-world experience of the entire consultation process and to enable you to demonstrate to us that you have a sufficient understanding of the theory and skills required. 

• The course will take a minimum of 25-30 hours to complete, not including the three case studies. We recommend repeating some of the practical training sections and possibly some of the more technical theory lessons in order to ensure you have a sound grasp of everything taught. Students will continue to have access to the online lessons after their training is complete.

Start whenever you like, work at your own pace, and repeat sections if needed.

You will learn about:

• The history and science behind Live & Dry Blood Analysis. 

• The haematological definitions of blood constituents. 

• The underlying causes of illness and how they manifest in the blood picture. 

• How to understand and apply the principles of Prof. Enderlein and pleomorphism. 

• pH and the role it plays in health. 

• Morphological changes related to nutrition and pathophysiology. 

You will be able to:

• Use and care for your microscope. 

• Take blood samples quickly and efficiently to minimise your clients' discomfort. 

• Recognise the constituents of live blood as seen under the darkfield microscope. 

• Analyse a dry blood sample using brightfield microscopy. 

• Do an evaluation of live and dry blood samples in a clinical setting. 

• Gather information from your clients and use it, together with your blood analysis, to inform your treatment protocols.

Who is this training for?  

• This course is open to anyone who has a professional qualification in a complementary/alternative or medical health modality that includes nutrition.

  Please Note: If you do not yet have a relevant qualification, see here for recommendations on choosing professional nutrition courses that would qualify you for LDBA training.

• We also accept those that are currently studying for a relevant qualification but have not completed their course yet. Studying LDBA alongside other courses is actually a great way of learning, however qualification in the primary course is required before final certification can be given by Naturecure Academy Ltd.

• Due to the technical nature of the subject matter being taught, students must be proficient in the use of the English language. 

Ongoing Support 

Supporting our students both during and after the course is very important to us at Naturecure Academy. We are proud of the community of new analysts that we are helping to build and very much hope that you will remain part of that community after your training is complete. To support students we offer the following: 

• Email support - we are available to answer any questions that you have, about any of the theory or techniques covered in the training, or any other issues that arise as you become a professional analyst.  
  

• Facebook Group - we host a private Facebook Group called  Naturecure Academy LDBA Community which is a place for new and past students to connect with our tutors, other students and seasoned LDBA practitioners happy to swap advice and answer questions. This community is very welcoming of new students and there is no such thing as a stupid question! 
  

• 1-to-1 Training - we also offer more focused additional training which can be undertaken in person for students in the UK, or remotely via SKYPE. (not included in course fee)

Buying a Microscope  

As well as offering excellent training we can also help you to source a high-quality microscope suitable for Live Blood Microscopy at a very competitive price, with our exclusive arrangements with several reputable microscope suppliers worldwide.
