Live and Dry Blood Analysis (LDBA) is a holistic health assessment that involves examining blood samples under a microscope, both in a live state and after drying. Live blood analysis involves viewing fresh, unfixed capillary blood under high magnification to observe blood cells and their interactions, while dry blood analysis examines the residue left after the blood has dried.
A drop of fresh blood is placed on a microscope slide, often with a coverslip to prevent drying, and viewed under a dark-field microscope
The live behavior of red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma activity, that may indicate imbalances or health concern are observed.
Practitioners may look for signs of
○ Nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12, folate)
○ Blood clot and congestion
○ Fibrin or damaged blood cells
○ Hormonal imbalances
○ Poor circulation
○ Digestive stress or undigested proteins/fats
○ Yeast, parasites, or bacterial activity
○ Inflammation and free radical damage
You see your living blood on a screen in real-time—an eye-opening experience that can motivate change.
Several drops of blood are placed on a slide and allowed to dry. The patterns and coagulation marks are analyzed under a microscope.
To analyze the dried blood film and interpret the patterns and colors as indicative of various conditions. This shows cellular breakdown and oxidative stress in the body over time.
Practitioners might look for patterns or colors that suggest issues like.
○ Organ stress or toxicity
○ Lymphatic congestion
○ Free radical damage
○ Chronic inflammation or degeneration
○ Circulatory or immune system stress
Often called a "blood fingerprint," dry blood analysis reflects longer-term health trends and internal stress.
• It’s quick, non-invasive, and educational
• Offers insight into early imbalances before symptoms appear
• Can guide dietary, detox, and supplement recommendations
• Often used alongside other natural therapies (like colonics, foot detox, etc.)
Only qualified doctors can diagnose disease. Blood tests generally are only a screening process to pick up various imbalances that can be detected through the blood. This also applies to Live & Dry Blood Analysis.
A 6 hour fast is required before all Live Blood Cell Tests, including coffee. This includes all vitamins and supplements, BUT you may stay well hydrated with just water. 48-hours free of antihistamines. Plain water is allowed before the test. Medications should always be taken as prescribed by your medical doctor. If your medication needs to be taken with food, you can bring your food with you and take it right after the test.
