Health is Your Number One Wealth

Live Blood Analysis is used in the field of complementary medicine, often in conjunction with nutrition, naturopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture or herbalism.

A drop of the client’s blood is examined under a microscope and the information gained is used to check for signs of many issues relating to health. We are able to use it to bring a new dimension to our ability to understand what is happening at a cellular level within our clients.

Why is it called ‘live’ blood analysis?

An LBA blood sample is not stained or treated with chemicals - it is mounted onto the microscope as soon as possible after being extracted to be able to view it in its ‘live’ state.

This enables us to see how the blood moves, how the blood cells react to each other and how they respond to the environment they float in – the plasma.

By magnifying the blood 1000 times, we can see the health of each individual cell and are able to assess how many cells are normal and functional and how many cells are not. Abnormal cells are obvious and their presence will indicate a variety of issues.

What can a Live Blood Analysis show?

One drop of blood contains 5 million cells. The proportions and amounts of the different cells distributed throughout that one drop is representative of what is contained in all of a person’s blood.

From this one drop of blood we can:

Determine if there are specific deficiencies of nutrients such as B12, folate, zinc, Vitamin C, or EFAs.
Check if the cell membranes are damaged or whether they are healthy.
Assess immune system cell activation and whether there are enough/too many white blood cells - this can show the presence of inflammation, autoimmune issues, infection, allergies or parasites.
Check for elements in the plasma that can indicate liver issues or circulatory challenges, such as thrombocytes, uric acid crystals or fat crystals.
Assess the integrity of the digestive tract and screen for problems such as ‘leaky gut’.
Make an assessment of the charge of the red blood cell membranes – the zeta potential – which is indicative of the pH of the fluids/tissues of the body as a whole.

What is the Purpose of Live Blood Analysis?

The ultimate goal of a blood test is to find out if there is anything in the blood that can answer the question “what is wrong with me?”.

There are many ways to test blood but Live Blood Analysis enables the complementary health professional to:

assess a client’s blood immediately in their own clinic.
educate and motivate clients by identifying how their lifestyle habits are reflected in their blood.
use the results to generate a bespoke protocol that focuses on the root causes of a client’s health symptoms.
