Why Study This Course?
This course offers the most accurate and detailed information, supported by over 200 scientific publications and clinical studies. It is designed for practitioners who seek the highest standards of knowledge and practice in blood microscopy techniques.
Is This Course Available to the General Public?
No, it is specifically for qualified health practitioners with a solid background in biochemistry, human physiology, nutrition, and anatomy. We train only those with accredited qualifications such as naturopaths, medical practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, biochemists, and microbiologists with postgraduate studies in human nutrition and disease.
Is This Course the Same as the Previous 5-Day Course?
This updated version includes new, recently published information and builds on the original 5-day course. It encompasses all previous content and has evolved with the latest scientific advancements.
What Are the Course Sections?
The course is divided into three sections, each with extensive notes, PowerPoint presentations, educational videos, and quizzes. Each section covers approximately the same workload and must be completed satisfactorily to progress. Upon completion of all 20 sessions within 20 weeks, you will receive certification and 80 CPE points.
Why Do I Need Formal Qualifications to Enroll?
The course content is advanced and requires prior knowledge in biochemistry, human physiology, nutrition, and anatomy. It is designed for qualified health care practitioners who will use these techniques in clinical practice. If you believe you have suitable prior knowledge to be able to cope with the content of the course, please contact us to discuss your suitability.
How Do I Access the Online Course?
- Scan your highest qualification and professional membership certificates.
- Register on our website and create an account.
- Upload your documentation for approval.
- Upon approval, purchase the course from the Shop.
- Once payment is received, you will gain access to the course and have 20 weeks to complete it.
Do I Need to Buy a Microscope Immediately?
It is recommended to purchase the microscope with the course to start using the techniques immediately after completion. If purchased later, order 10 weeks in advance due to delivery schedules.
Do I Need to Pass All Sessions to Graduate?
Yes, each session must be completed and passed before moving to the next. Upon successful completion of all 20 sessions, you will receive a certificate of achievement.
What Benefits Does This Course Offer Practitioners?
The course allows practitioners to:
- Discover underlying health factors in real-time.
- Enhance patient trust and compliance.
- Recommend effective supplements.
- Monitor patient progress visually.
- Focus on overall health and well-being rather than illness.
Is the Course Accredited for CPE Points?
Yes, the course provides 80 CPE points, validated by credible Health Care Associations throughout Australia. It involves an estimated 80 hours of study over 20 weeks.
How Do I Set Up ‘Differential Interference’ on the Microscope?
- Turn on the microscope and camera.
- Use the 40X objective and Phase Contrast (Ph2).
- Focus the image until sharp.
- Slowly adjust the condenser selector dial from Ph2 towards Ph3 until you achieve a clear 3D image.
Can I Observe Borrelia spp. causing Lyme Disease with a Light Microscope?
No, light microscopes cannot resolve these microorganisms due to their small size. They can only be seen in dried, stained blood smears, not in live blood samples.
Can I Store Coagulated Blood Slides for Future Reference?
Yes, provided they are stored in a slide box under cool, dry, low light conditions. Slide boxes can be requested from Douglas Blood Microscopy Centre Pty Ltd.
Can I Do the Refresher Course If I Completed the 5-Day Course?
Yes, you can register for the refresher course by uploading your previous course certificate and completing the necessary steps on our website.
Why Do Microscope Costs Differ Among Courses?
Microscope costs vary based on configuration and capabilities. Our course offers high-quality optics, multiple objectives (Bright Field, Phase Contrast, Dark Field), a universal condenser, a high-intensity LED light source, and a state-of-the-art WiFi camera. These features provide comprehensive and versatile blood microscopy capabilities.
Is There a Discount for the Refresher Course?
The online course is already significantly discounted. Additional savings include the elimination of travel and accommodation expenses, and the flexibility to study at your own pace from home.
Can Graphene/Graphene Oxide Be Observed in Live Blood?
No, these nanoparticles are below the resolution of light microscopes. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms and graphene oxide contains functional groups, both forming nanoparticles too small to be observed directly in live blood samples.
What Are the Strange Objects Seen in Live Blood?
These objects have been documented since 1925 by Dr. Enderlein and are often related to chronic diseases. They are a long-known phenomena in blood microscopy. In the course you learn about Sanum protocols that can help.
Is Your Course Ratified by the TGA in Australia and How Can I Advertise Its Use in My Clinic?
The TGA does not ratify course content but regulates in vitro medical devices in Australia. Our course teaches that Live and Coagulated Blood Microscopy techniques are screening tools, not diagnostic methods. You can use these techniques in your clinic after completing our course without TGA interference. However, do not advertise these techniques as diagnostic to avoid fines or bans. We provide guidance on compliant advertising once you complete the course. Contact us for more information.
