DIAGNOSIS - BEV

BioElectronics of Vincent (BEV)
Biological Terrain of the Body (BTA)

HOW CAN WE MEASURE HEALTH?

The debate over which is most important in causing disease, the microbe or the terrain, goes back to Bechamp and Pasteur ... and even further. Western medicine has developed the diagnosis of the microbe as the cause of disease. The terrain is the background biochemical conditions in the body and it is the other half of the equation which allows disease to develop.

WHAT IS BEV?

Professor Vincent was a French hydrologist who studied the quality of water supply for different communities and its relationship to the health of the people in those communities. He developed instruments to measure the basic biochemical parameters, which distinguish water that is health promoting from that, which is not.

These same parameters can be measured in the body fluids: blood, urine and saliva. This gives us an objective quantification of the terrain of the body - the background conditions in the body, which allow disease to develop or promote good health. From these fundamental measurements, analyzed by computer, we can assess the risk for various diseases such as cancer and heart disease. As well, we can evaluate biological age, energy potential and other factors, which give us a prognosis for treatment using biological therapies.

The BEV does not diagnose disease - it measures only the background conditions in the body, which can predispose it to certain diseases.

WHAT CONDITIONS OR DISEASES WOULD BENEFIT FROM BEV

Since BEV measures the general conditions of the body, it can be useful as a measure of any therapy in any disease. It is most useful in more serious, chronic, degenerative conditions like cancer, arthritis, lupus, etc. where we need to know if our therapy is making real improvements rather than just alleviating symptoms.

However, some people just want to know how healthy they really are and what problems they are heading for if they don't make preventive changes.

HOW CAN THE BEV HELP ME?

From the results of the BEV test we can determine the general condition of your body and obtain useful indications for dietetics and remedies.

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE TEST?

  1. Take nothing by mouth except water for the 12 hours before your visit.
  2. Take nothing at all, not even water, for the 2 hours before the visit.
  3. Do not wear lipstick use mouthwash or brush your teeth on the morning of your visit.
  4. Collect and bring the first morning urine (you will get a urine cup here). Please refrigerate the specimen if you are not able to be at the office within 2 hours.
  5. Bring a sample of your drinking water for testing. Use a clean, dry glass jar.
  6. Inform us of any medication you are taking when you come for the test. Some medications may affect the results.
  7. Bring a snack to eat after your test is finished.
  8. Come prepared to spend 30 minutes in the clinic.

In addition to BEV/BTA testing, we provide a variety of standard and alternative lab tests to assess your health. Please contact us for more information
