Live blood analysis (LBA), also known as live cell analysis or live blood cell analysis, is a technique that involves the examination of a small drop of blood under a microscope at high magnification. Proponents claim that LBA can provide insights into a person’s health by observing the condition and behavior of the blood cells.
During LBA, a drop of blood is usually taken from a patient’s fingertip, placed on a microscope slide without staining, and immediately observed under a specialized microscope equipped with a camera or a screen. Practitioners claim to observe various features of the blood cells, such as size, shape, movement, and interactions between different blood components.
However, it’s important to note that live blood analysis is a controversial practice that lacks scientific evidence and credibility within the mainstream medical community. Critics argue that this method has not been validated by scientific studies, and the interpretations provided by practitioners are often subjective and not based on scientific principles.
Dry blood analysis, also called dried blood cell analysis or dried blood spot testing, involves collecting drops of blood on a special filter paper or card, allowing it to dry, and then analyzing it for various purposes, such as screening for certain diseases or measuring levels of specific substances like hormones or drugs.
In contrast to live blood analysis, dried blood analysis has some validated medical applications, particularly in screening for certain diseases or monitoring specific biomarkers. For instance, it’s commonly used in newborn screening tests for genetic disorders and in some cases for monitoring HIV or measuring hormone levels.
