The Most Up-to-Date, Flexible Training on the Market 

Launched in 2019, this course includes the latest science and best practices, whilst being based on the experience of teaching Live & Dry Blood Analysis (LDBA) students for over 12 years. 

This web-based 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).

Training suitable for students from around the world, including United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland.

Course Format 

The course follows a modular format made up of pre-reading documents, video theory lectures, and practical video demonstrationsStart whenever you like, work at your own pace, and repeat sections if needed.

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

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.

I found this course very comprehensive, very well thought out, and delivered in a very clear way. I appreciated being able to go back and rewatch the segments (some several times), and will enjoy being able to go back in the future once I start to use this training more with clients. I appreciated the very clear instruction of the entire process of Live and Dry blood. Thank you! Clinton

So far (because I have not completed the entire course yet), I can say this is one of the best training courses in blood analysis I have become in contact with. It is detailed, very visual, slow-paced, very well depicted, professionally delivered, and considering the amount of clinical material presented, the information is easy to absorb and remember. On the other hand, it is important to mention that the supporting teaching manuals are explicit, easy to ready, colorful, and professionally conceptualized. I am sure at the end of the course, I will be well qualified to do blood analysis with a high degree of confidence. The rest is to pick up some clinical experience and that is on me. Congrats on a job well done, Dr. Herman Vega AMD, PhD, AP, LMHC.

This is great training....You start to get a little nervous in thinking can I really do this with accuracy for the client and not screw up blood samples. LOL...
