The Hahnemann College for Heilkunst offers a unique certificate program in Dynamic Blood Analysis that teaches the fundamentals of using live blood analysis to illuminate the dynamic physiology of the patient which can then be used to assist in treatment according to natural law principles. These laws and principles have only recently been discovered and developed in a systematic and rational manner.

It is now possible to place the analysis of live blood within a comprehensive framework of nosology, allowing for a deeper and more profound understanding of disease and imbalances and their effective treatment. These discoveries mean that much of current therapeutic advice taught is no longer valid, or only works palliatively and at times suppressively without removing the actual cause.

The Hahnemann College program on dynamic blood takes live blood analysis to a higher and deeper level, placing it within a profound and living framework that provides a greater understanding of human functioning and how disease and imbalance affect us not only physically, but in terms of our mental-emotional life. Health and wholeness are not simply the absence of symptoms, but the development of a profound sense of soundness and well-being. Dynamic blood analysis takes the practitioner and client beyond simply providing general nutritional or other general advice for treatment of and protection against illness to understanding and promoting the vital connection between our life blood and what we think, feel and will.

Who is it For?

The Dynamic Blood Analysis Certificate program is a one-year, intensive study leading to the award of the DynBC. It is designed for those persons:

• interested in a career in natural health
• wanting to focus on the area of live blood analysis
• looking for a comprehensive, yet short and practical program
• seeking to begin a practice with a useful skill in high demand by the public
• looking for a learning experience that is exciting, scientifically-grounded and placed within a dynamic understanding of health and illness that deals with the body, mind, soul and spirit.

Career Opportunities

There is a strong and growing interest in live blood analysis around the world. People are confused about what the blood can tell us about ourselves and what it cannot. They are looking for clear guidance for themselves and their family. Graduates of the Dynamic Blood Analysis Certificate program can meet the increasing demand for nutritional guidelines that work and that take into account each person's different needs and requirements. Graduates can:

• set up their own successful nutritional practice
• work with other practitioners to provide more specific nutritional advice and counselling for their clients
• combine the Dynamic Nutritional Certificate with the HCH Dynamic Blood Analysis Certificate to offer a more comprehensive service on nutritional and health matters

Dynamic Nutritional Analysis is a natural and simple addition to a student of the Dynamic Blood Analysis program. It can be done concurrently or afterwards, as many of the foundation courses for each program are the same. Ask the Registrar for more details if you are interested in taking both programs.

Additional Study

In addition, you also have the option at any point of entering the second year of the three-year HCH Practitioner Diploma in Homeopathy and Heilkunst program, which will give you the ability to treat not only nutritional imbalances, but also chronic and complex disease cases.

Length of Study

The academic year is from September to June of the following year for those taking the program in-class. Courses are held on weekends, usually once to twice a month, with guided self-study in between. There are course assignments and final assessments of what you have learned. The emphasis is on understanding concepts and on gaining practical experience, not on rote learning or memorization. Concepts are set in an overall meaningful context of dynamic physiology and taught in a way that is fun, yet challenging.

There is a distance learning option for those unable to attend one of our in-class centers. Distance study can begin at any time. While the program can be completed in one year, study can be extended over a longer period if this fits the student's personal and work situation better.

Course Descriptions

Basic Principles of Dynamic Health and Illness
In this unit, you will learn about the foundation in natural law of dynamic health, and about the three main areas of any true medical system: therapeutic regimen, therapeutic medicine and therapeutic education. You will understand where dynamic nutrition fits into a dynamic approach to health and illness, and how it can be used effectively to support the other aspects to achieving optimum wellness and soundness. What you learn in this unit will provide you with comprehensive foundation and context for the rest of your studies. It will also give you the basis to communicate and work with other practitioners in the natural health field.

Dynamic Physiology

Dynamic Physiology I
You will learn the fundamental underlying principles of a dynamic approach to understanding anatomy and physiology including the dynamics of life energy, organ systems and the influence of external factors on health.

Dynamic Physiology II
Further study of organ systems and their interactions, showing the profound relationship between what we eat and how we feel, plus a dynamic understanding of the process of digestion and metabolism.

Dynamic Physiology III
In this part of the course, you will learn about the interrelationships between the psyche and the soma, covering various psychological disorders and their impact on physiology. You will also gain an understanding of natural human development and the evolution of human consciousness and the role all this plays in health and illness.

Dynamic Regimen I, II and III
These three units provide a comprehensive grounding in and understanding of the principles and application of the natural law of opposites to restore and maintain health and wholeness. You will learn about the history and underlying scientific principles behind various approaches to nutrition and other therapies that use the law of opposites according to natural principles.

Basic Principles of Pharmacology and Pharmacognosy
You will gain the necessary knowledge of the bio-chemical workings of the main categories of drugs and herbs and how to assess their effects on overall health so that you can take these into account when assessing cases.

Drug-Herb Nutrient Interactions
Both drugs and herbs deplete nutrients in the body and these must be supplied to prevent a further deterioration in health. You will learn how to assess these depletions and to take them into account in your nutritional assessments.

Establishing and Maintaining a Successful Practice
Working for yourself is both rewarding and challenging. This unit will give you the basis for starting a successful practice on your own or with others, and providing for its continued growth and health.
