BIOLOGICAL TERRAIN TESTING STATION
Introduction
This is the instruction manual for the biological terrain testing station instruments and
components, as well as an introduction to the basic parameters which can be
uncovered through using the system.
When you get your station, take everything out of the boxes and lay the instruments,
bottles, test tubes, etc. out on the table.
Caution: The protein part of the test station includes chemicals, sulfuric acid (which is
extremely caustic) and potassium hydroxide. Great caution needs to be exercised and
the utmost care needs to be considered when handling these elements. Please do not
open these bottles until you fully read the instructions for these things and view the
video tape overview of the testing process.
Please do a read through of the contents of this manual and then review the video tape.
The tape will walk you through each component of the system, show you how to
calibrate the equipment, do the tests, and talk briefly about the results you might get
and how to work with the testing station quick charts.
Once you have a familiarity with how the equipment works and how the tests are
performed, you will be better prepared to begin with the set-up and calibration
procedures. You may want to have the equipment readily available and in front of you
as you view the video tape so if you choose to follow along with the video instruction
you can have hands-on experience with the equipment at the same time you watch the
video.
Objectives of the Manual
This material is broken down into different sections, this section covers each piece of
equipment or test process, other sections cover data generation, testing theory, goals,
and structure.
The theory of all of these tests rests with the work of some very progressive
researchers, doctors and scientists who all had one thing in common, they understood
that disease in the human body is more often then not a reflection of a problem with a
fundamental imbalance that affects the internal milieu, i.e. the environment around and
within every cell of the body. Hence, the name biological terrain testing.
The goal is too provide a simple set of procedures using basic equipment to ascertain
where those fundamental balances lie. If the balances are out of range through what
has been the historically referenced norms for health, then appropriate interventions
and processes to restore the numbers to balance can be pursued. When numbers are
balanced the clinician will often see amazing health benefits accrue to individuals and ill
health of whatever origin often improve significantly.

Testing Structure
The framework for the testing process is one of getting the test results and then putting
those results into a hierarchal structure addressing the most important elements first.
For example, many clinicians today do simple pH testing and then they go after
protocols to help their clients push pH. Alkalize, alkalize, alkalize is the thing to do.
The reality is, pH is the tail of the dog. Yes it is crucially important, but pH must be
viewed with an understanding of other homeostatic control mechanisms and
relationships that is actually wagging the pH tail.
When we do our tests, we get a number of readings from the 2 aqueous body fluids of
urine and saliva. Things like pH, mV/ORP, rH2, conductivity, surface tension, brix,
specific gravity, etc. But we do not rely on just the electrical and other measurements
mentioned here, we also will need to conduct some physiological tests with blood
pressure, pulse, breath rate and breath hold. These will be the clinchers and
confirmations to the other results.
In total you will find the testing of a single individual can be done very quickly once your
familiarity with the equipment and process becomes second nature.
What we are Testing
Lets first talk about the basic things that we are testing (somewhat in order of
importance) and how we are testing for these things.
#1 Conductivity/resistivity reading. Without a doubt this is the most important reading
you can get with urine and saliva because it is a huge part of what wags the pH tail.
Conductivity is a reflection of the amount of stuff in a system that can conduct
electricity. In the human body it is largely all about anions and cations. An individual can
have a lack or an excess and with an imbalance either way, little can be accomplished
until this number comes into line.
This test is accomplished with the BEV unit reading conductivity/resistivity and
confirmed with specific blood pressure and pulse readings.
#2 pH + ORP = rH2. This is a reflection of the electron potential in the body. In a sense
it is the electron (or anion) that pays the bills. You blink, you just used an electron, you
raise your hand to scratch your head, you just used a whole bunch more. The flow of life
moves with the flow of electrons. Hydrogen is the most ubiquitous element on earth and
the body being mostly water, is filled with hydrogen. Hydrogen with a single electron
and proton enter into every imaginable combination with other elements. Sometimes the
electron of hydrogen is lost and what is left is just the hydrogen proton with a positive
charge (listed as H+), and sometimes the hydrogen gains an electron and it is left with a
negative charge (H-). It is the H+ (acid) and the H- (base) which is being measured with
pH. With acidic readings you have more H+ then H-. With alkaline or base readings you
have more H- then H+. The ability of something to donate an electron or to receive an
electron is related to its oxidation/reduction potential (ORP). ORP is measured in
millivolts. If something has a highly negative reading, there are more electrons or

anions, if a more positive reading it would be less electrons and more elements with
positive charge (cations). rH2 is a measure that relates pH to ORP and is a reflection of
the electron in the body to do work, i.e. pay the bills. Your body has a lot to do from
moment to moment, but if you have too many cooks in the kitchen, well you can have
problems, and just the same, too few and there are problems again. rH2 in one sense is
looking at the overall anion to cation ratio in the body, and it is the single measure that if
addressed and altered, can have more impact overall on ones state of health than
correcting any other parameter.
This test is accomplished with the BEV unit internal calculations measuring both ORP
and pH at the same time.
#3 Surface Tension. The one industry that uses water surface tension testing
consistently is the oil business. As the drill gets closer to the oil, the water surface
tension will change as oil starts to get into the water. We test surface tension to learn of
the mix of oils in the body. These are the fatty acids and sterols which make up cell
membranes and account for cell permeability issues which relate directly to knowing
anabolic and catabolic disturbances. This is incredibly important and clinically very
powerful.
This test is accomplished with a surface tension testing tool and confirmed with pH
readings and specific gravity measure from a urinometer.
#4 Specific Gravity. We use the accuracy of a urinometer to get this number.
#5 Brix. We get brix readings from the refractometer. It is one way to get the status of
hypo and hyper glycemic conditions which will relate to blocked pathways in sugar and
fat metabolism mechanisms which is likewise related to fast and slow oxidation states.
#5 Proteins/Urea. We use the chemicals of sulfuric acid, potassium hydroxide and a
special urine extracting agent to measure nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen which
represent nitrogen oxide and nitrogen sulfate in the urine. These are byproducts of
protein metabolism, the efficiency of which can be measured by the values obtained. In
a sense we are measuring the anions coming into the system which is usable energy
