From the desk of Dr. Dicken Weatherby
Naturopathic Physician
Ashland, OR USA
Dear Health Care Practitioner,
How would you like to learn everything you need to know about the functional analysis of your patients' blood tests which will:
-
Put you on the cutting edge of preventative diagnosis.
-
Help you get more from the tests you are already performing.
-
Hone your blood chemistry analysis skills.
-
Show you how these tests can be used as a prognostic marker for dysfunction.
-
Cut the amount of time you spend analyzing your patients' blood tests.
-
Make your blood chemistry testing an indispensable screening tool.
- Increase the profitability of your practice.
Did you know that Blood Chemistry Screens and CBC Panels are the most commonly ordered lab tests in Western medicine? Sadly, most practitioners only order the routine blood tests, if blood tests are ordered at all. Far too often this blood work doesn't even test for the most important markers of disease risk. Most practitioners are missing out on an amazing opportunity to gather important information about their patients' functional health.
A Functional Analysis of your clients’ blood test results is one of the most important steps you can take to prevent life-threatening diseases. With blood test results in hand, you can catch critical changes in the body before they manifest as chronic heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or worse. Knowing not only what blood tests to order but how to analyze them from a functional perspective will empower you as a health care practitioner to enact a science-based disease-prevention program that could have tremendous impact on your clients’ lives, and is a proven way to attract new clients and get more referrals.
In the Saturday morning session of this seminar, I will cover the blood tests that appear on a standard Blood Chemistry Screen and CBC panel. I'll teach you ways to analyze these basic tests that will give you an incredible amount of detailed data from the standard blood tests you are ordering for your patients. By using a unique method of analysis you will be able to sleuth out the cause of the major dysfunctions that plague your patients... No more telling your patients that their blood tests look normal... No more wasting your patients' money and your time by ordering tests that don't tell you that much.
In the Saturday afternoon I will cover essential blood tests that patients (especially those over the age of 40) MUST have each year. Annual blood testing is the most important step that your patients can take to prevent life threatening disease. You will know which of these tests to order and when, so you can catch critical changes in your patients' functional state before they manifest as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or worse. Having the proper blood tests in hand and knowing how to do a thorough functionally-oriented analysis of the results can empower you to enact science-based disease-prevention programs that could add decades of healthy function to your patients' lives.
On Sunday morning, we will go over a series of blood test results so you can practice the functional analysis and get your questions answered. I will also have a series of more comprehensive cases for you to go over in small groups. This is a great way to learn this material, get feedback and comments from other participants, and a good opportunity to get your questions answered.
For those of you that don't know me, I'm Dr. Dicken Weatherby, a Naturopathic Physician in Southern Oregon. I am the author of 7 books on the topic of Functional Diagnosis and Practice Management. I have lectured to thousands of doctors internationally, teaching them techniques that reveal a quick and easy system for analyzing blood test results from a functional, nutritional, and preventative perspective that's absolutely guaranteed to help you get more from the tests you are already ordering and to help you boost your business or practice.
3
things you will know after you attend my |
-
An understanding of the implications for blood tests that are outside the normal value and implications of blood tests that fall outside of an optimal range.... You spent four years in medical school to learn the former. The latter is what this system is all about. Not the same old things you've heard before, but new, innovative, and exciting ways to look at blood chemistries from a functional perspective.
-
A knowledge of what tests to order....You will learn what tests deserve to be on your standard panel, and what tests don't.
-
How to put it all together....You will have an understanding of the patterns that exist between tests and the likely dysfunctions associated with the patterns. You will get my tracking charts that will make this process easier.
PLUS
You'll learn how to turn your regular blood chemistry and CBC/Hematology test into an incredible prognostic marker for dysfunction.

My best-selling book — "Blood Chemistry and CBC Analysis -Clinical Laboratory Testing From a Functional Perspective " — is being used by thousands of health care practitioners around the world, is in all the major Naturopathic Medical Schools in the US, and is the backbone of the Lab Diagnosis class at Nature Care College in Sydney Australia. |

This book has been well reviewed in Alternative Medicine Review, Positive Health and the Townsend Journal. To read these reviews please click the above journal titles. Just see what Nancy Dunne, recent president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and others have to say....

"Dr.
Weatherby's book "Blood Chemistry and
CBC Analysis" rarely makes it off my desktop.
It saves me precious time nearly every day,
as I think about my patients and create care
plans for them."
" This
well-done and user-friendly reference manual
has begun to fill a gap in the practice of
unconventional medicine, as well as conventional
medicine"If you’re like me you want to stay ahead of the game with new and creative ways to evaluate patients.
Many practitioners are looking for tools that distinguish them from other clinicians in their area. Being able to diagnose a condition long before it becomes a major problem is becoming more and more popular, and patients are looking for practitioners that can help them navigate through the myriad of signs and symptoms they are experiencing. Functional analysis of their blood tests will make you stand out as a practitioner. You will learn how to identify the key metabolic and nutritional problems that affect about 80% of your patients.
CE for this seminar
I appreciate that you have many choices for your post graduate education to choose from to get your CE hours credits. I am dedicated to providing outstanding content that is highly useable, practical to implement, can increase the profitability of your practice, and is value for your money.
As a post graduate educator I recognize the needs and desires of the practicing health care professional. This is a practitioner oriented course, developed over many years and including directly relevant information. Well researched and backed with clinical experience, I feel confident that you will leave this program inspired, excited and motivated to get more information from your blood tests.
You will be issued a certificate upon your successful completion of this program, which is your proof of attendance and can be used to get CE hours for this training.
Here's Just a Sample of What You Will
Learn at This Seminar

A.M. SessionA Functionally Oriented Approach to Analyzing the Blood Chemistry Screen and CBC PanelI used to look at my patients' blood tests and wonder why they always came back normal, when I knew that they were by no means normal. NOW, by using the techniques I will teach you in this morning session, I can figure out exactly what is going on with my patients' physiology and metabolism. Here are some of the information you will learn in this session: DIGESTIVE MARKERS
