Q: Is Enderlein theory of pleomorphism taught in the course?

Yes, we cover the theory of pleomorphism in detail with all the phases of development of the particular growth forms identified by Dr Enderlein. Under each anomaly we also discuss the pleomorphic perspective. The training course covers all aspects of live blood analysis so consequently is not exclusively pleomorphic.

Q: What are some of the common problems that people experience in setting up the new live blood analysis practice?

The most common problem is not having the right equipment. Live blood analysis darkfield microscopes are very specialized so the microscope system needs to be up to the correct specifications to be able to use LBA to its full potential. We often see practitoners who want to add LBA to their practice, but who don’t want to invest in a good enough system, so they start with a very basic system that doesn’t allow them to see everything they should be able to see with LBA, consequently they and their clients never really fully benefit from LBA.

Q: How long does it take to really become proficient at live blood analysis?

We suggest at a minimum of 4 hours study a week on top of the weekly lesson. The technique of collecting the blood samples is fairly easy to master and most students are completely proficient in this within a month. Most students are also able to identify the most common anomalies correctly within 1-2 months, but it is important to have as much knowledge as possible because clients often ask questions, and some clients are sceptical, so as a practitioner you need to have as much information to draw from as possible. Most practitioners are able to start practicing after 3 months, your proficiency will constantly improve as you see more and more clients and get hands-on experience with LBA.

Q: What’s the best way to get started in Live Blood Analysis?

To get the best start in LBA you need a really good training course of a high standard with information from all different perspectives to give a better insight. The theory is very important, but the practical aspects of LBA are also equally important because if you’re not able to take blood samples correctly then your results won’t be reliable. Your course needs to be comprehensive and the equipment you use (your microscope system) needs to be up to the correct specifications so you’re able to use LBA to its full potential from the beginning. I’ve often seen people who want to add LBA to their practice, but who don’t want to invest in a good enough system, so they start with a very basic system that doesn’t allow them to see everything they should be able to see with LBA and they never really fully benefit from LBA. So the theory, the practical proficiency and the correct equipment are all critically important.
