Live and Dry Blood Analysis
With Live Blood Analysis (LBA),
fresh blood is taken via a finger prick and immediately examined and evaluated under a microscope.
We assess the shape, mobility, and activity of red and white blood cells and
platelets. This reflects the overall condition of the immune system, cell membranes, and the body's acidity levels.
Dry Blood Analysis (DBA)
Dry Blood Analysis (DBA) is an analysis of blood that has dried on a microscope slide (also known as the free radical test). As the blood dries, it forms patterns. These patterns are believed to
provide information on the extent of cellular damage caused by free radicals and the presence of antioxidants.
Dry Blood Analysis (DBA)
During this analysis, various dry blood preparations are examined: the free radical test and a blood smear. The blood smear is used as a quick scan to see if there are major imbalances in the blood.
It provides a clear picture of any mineral deficiencies in the body related to acidification.
The free radical test was originally developed to quickly assess the composition of the blood. Dr. Bradford demonstrated how free radical damage affects this blood picture.
There are also more naturopathic interpretations where this blood picture is linked to conditions, iridology, parasitic burden, or heavy metal toxicity.
