What is Live and Dry Blood Analysis ?
Live and Dried Blood Analysis is a modality that has been in use since the 1920's and is widely accepted as a useful tool in many areas of Europe. A darkfield microscope, which differs from the simple brightfield microscope you would have been introduced to in grade school, uses a light condenser to illuminate a specimen from the side. It essentially blocks the center of the light producing a hollow cone of light that is scattered by the sample and the objective produces a clear image in high contrast.
When looking at a drop of live blood between a slide and coverslip under the microscope the blood may behave as though it is still circulating in your veins. The analyst will be observing the activity and behavior of the red blood cells, white blood cells and the components in the plasma. Live Blood Analysis does not diagnose but rather highlights the imbalances and anomalies that may contribute to disease and symptoms currently experienced by the client. Live
Blood Analysis really shines as a preventative measure because the blood will display anomalies that can be interpreted by a skilled practitioner before symptoms are felt and disease has set in. It is therefor both preventative and predictive.
The Dried Blood Analysis portion of your appointment will display a different reflection of your state of being yet cross references well with Live Blood Analysis. When drops of blood are left to dry for about 20 minutes they go through a process called coagulation morphology. The analyst will be looking for clues to the extent of degeneration (sometimes regeneration) represented by the coagulation cascade. Your blood's response is a reflection of both your
physical and emotional response to life and circumstance at large and on a minute scale. Once again, we are looking for anomalies that narrate the story of your current state as well as historical imprints of injury and disease.
