Live blood analysis, also known as darkfield microscopy, is an alternative diagnostic method that involves examining a person’s blood sample under a specialized microscope. The process begins with a small blood sample being collected from the client, usually through a finger prick. The collected blood is then placed on a glass slide and covered with a cover slip, creating a thin layer of blood for observation.

The slide is then inserted into a darkfield microscope, which utilizes a specific lighting technique to illuminate the blood cells against a dark background. This technique enhances the visibility of the cells and allows the practitioner to observe them in real-time. The practitioner analyzes various components of the blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.

During the examination, the practitioner looks for specific characteristics and abnormalities within the blood sample. They may assess the size, shape, and movement of the blood cells, as well as the presence of any cellular debris, microorganisms, or other irregularities.  Based on their observations, the practitioner will communicate their findings and provide feedback and give lifestyle, diet and supplementation suggestions.
