Urine for a surprise Dorothy, and no we’re not in Kansas anymore. Urine therapy can be a very effective healing modality. Sometimes when all else fails, urine therapy will turn a person around. We will be covering some of the reasons why this may be so, and in that regard will lightly touch on homeopathy

Let’s see how measuring the pH of body fluids like urine and saliva can help you assess the body’s balance.  To recap, pH is the acronym of sorts for the potential of hydrogen.  It is a measure of the degree of saturation of the hydrogen ion in a substance or solution. (pH is a logarithmic

The picture shown here is a can of urine dipsticks. This is a simple tool that can tell you if you are moving into a zone with certain homeostatic controls that will require your attention.   There are 100 thin strips in the can with reagent pads glued along the strip. Dip the strip completely

When you look into one of our refractometers you will see a 0-32 Brix scale on one side, good for checking your fruits and veggies, and a specific gravity scale on the other which you can compare to the specific gravity reading on a urine dipstick. If you read the post on urine dipsticks you will

  First, what is conductivity? It is the measure of how well something conducts electricity. A conductivity meter which does such a thing consists of the meter component and an electrode component.  We’ll get back to discussing more on this a little bit later. Why is this measure important? It goes back to the concept

  This instrument is called a refractometer. When measuring fluids it gives us a way to measure the specific gravity of the fluid or the “weight” of all the complex elements that are within it. This weight can be measured on different scales, for example on a scale called specific gravity (SG) or on another

Have you ever seen blood under the microscope that looks like this? Or like this? Some may say this looks like a condition of hyperproteinemia Some may say this looks like pH is off and the cells are losing their zeta potential. Some may say it is a situation of dehydration. Some may say this

This begins a series of posts that are basically out-takes from the Biomedx How You Rot & Rust book. They will shed light on the work of Dr. T.C. McDaniel as he clinically applied Thomas Riddick’s work which was discussed in Riddick’s textbook “The Control of Colloid Stability Through Zeta Potential.” In this series you

Whenever we peer into the microscope to look at living blood, we inevitably come upon principles of chemistry and physics looking back at us. These principles are so core to existence itself that it seems odd that medicine has yet to incorporate these concepts in its practice and medical schools have yet to teach them

More Pictures of Blood (sort of) Back in the late 1960’s Thomas Riddick who was an engineer and chemist, wrote the book  “Control of Colloid Stability Through Zeta Potential”. It was a masterful work which expressed all the nuances of zeta potential within colloidal systems and included insights into working with cardiovascular disease which we’ll

At the physical level, disease and aging of the body is all about rotting and rusting. The rot is an underlying biological mechanism inherent in all earthly species and the rust is an oxidative process. Here we present some educational concepts with out-takes from our pre-training workshop. Note that this information often needs to be

THE pH EQUATION in HEALTH According to many health researchers, total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. In case you missed it, let’s say it again… Total healing of chronic illness takes place only when and if the blood is restored

  Peering into the microscope and looking at live blood, you can see a reflection of cause and effect. When you’re not feeling well, your blood doesn’t look good. Often, the worse you feel, the worse it looks. When you get better, the blood also gets  looking better. Simple correlation. Make the blood look better,
