Equipment Review 1

A basic precept of natural health care embraced for centuries is that disease and ill health generally manifest when core homeostatic control mechanisms are out of balance. It has been the role of the compassionate physician to bring the best knowledge of the past to a current practical use. The collection of independent tools illustrated here help this process by letting the practitioner quickly sort through some of the most dynamic biophysical and biological terrain parameters that have yet been defined.

VINCENT'S classic BEV or BioElectronic Vincent (from the work of Professor Louis-Claude Vincent) assesses the life energy balance and the internal "milieu" with the quantitative measurements of pH, rH2, resistivity and microwatts of a given fluid. When applied to fluids of a living body, it has sometimes been referred to as BTA, BCA^TM, QFA^TM, (Biological Terrain Analysis, BioCellular Analysis^TM , Quantitative Fluid Analysis^TM) by various manufacturers. Vincent would say it helps define the "body electric".

The Biomedx BEV (the central unit pictured above) is a simple stand alone multi-parameter analyzer that is extremely fast and efficient, uses special small sample probes (just a few drops of specimen required), and can get all the numbers for any fluid measurement very quickly without the need for a computer interface. It is a basic ion meter that will reflect the values of pH, ORP, rH2, resistivity (5 different ways) and also Vincent's sum total micro-watt reading. This unit offers huge cost savings for frugal individuals or clinics that want these readings as no expensive hardware, software, or computer is required to use the tool.

REAMS testing is equally adept at defining life system balance. It was Dr. Carey Reams who evolved a method for defining imbalance in humans via soil analysis as used in organic farming. And why not?  We are made from the dust of the earth. At Biomedx we have felt that there was always some vital information missing from the standard BTA style tests and Reams soil analysis is a tremendous compliment to this work that offers an individual deeper insights to health. On the flip side, Reams testers can get a boost to their skill set when they adopt some of the concepts of Vincent and the accelerated performance of a BEV unit.

REVICI'S anabolic and catabolic measurements target the natural diphasic rhythms of life. It was the lifelong research of the towering medical genius Dr. Emanuel Revici, MD, that brought an incredible depth of understanding and practical application to the power of lipid interplay at the cellular level. Emanuel Revici gave us tools and methods to define fatty acid/sterol balance and related anabolic/catabolic states. This is hugely significant and clinically one of the most powerful things you can know.

Vincent, Reams, Revici  - independent methodologies which taken alone are very strong physician education tools. But taken together, each clarifies and further refines the other so a clinician can quickly target primary interference patterns and get down to what matters most in "the clients health."

There are other health giants and modalities addressed in the tools above, but suffice to say, when merged together it takes pieces of the health puzzle that so often have eluded even the best practitioners and pulls it all together.
