INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS

BE-T-A – Originally developed by Prof. L.C. Vincent

Your health CAN be measured

Dear Patient:

• You are holding an interesting brochure in your hand that will give you information about a well-founded laboratory diagnostic method that has been in successful use for 30 years. Unlike the laboratory diagnostic methods with which you may already be familiar from your therapist (by which vitamins, trace elements, uric acid, liver readings, sugar in the blood stream, and many other measurements taken from your organism can be analyzed in a laboratory), the Bio-Electronic Terrain Analysis developed by Professor Vincent is based on the analysis of just the three basic fluids in your body. These are the elemental liquids: blood, saliva and the excreted fluid urine.
• Can you imagine that your body has to prepare the right and very specific nutrient substrate before any given illness can occur? And that the illness cannot start until this substrate is present? The medical word for this is “terrain” or “environment” in which the illness can manifest itself. This means, in other words, that our whole body can represent the nutrient substrate for an illness.

". . . and the illness will die"

Professor Vincent once said: “Withdraw the substrate from the illness, and the illness will starve to death!” In order to do this, the therapist has to know what kind of state is the substrate to enable such an illness to start. One small example to illustrate the subject of nutrient substrates can be taken from Nature.

In the environment of mushrooms..

You are sure to know the best possible conditions which the mushrooms need that grow in the forest – the kind that taste so wonderful if prepared properly. You are also sure to know that such mushrooms need a very specific environment, terrain, or nutrient substrate in order to be able to flourish well. These conditions exist in shady, damp, slightly acid soil.

If, for instance, you change any one of these three conditions that the mushrooms need for healthy growth, the mushroom will not grow to its full size but will die off prematurely. If you let sunshine into its shady corner, the soil will dry out and the mushroom will be short of two of the conditions it needs for survival.

These examples can be directly transferred to your body, although unlike the mushroom it certainly needs far more than just three conditions in order to be healthy and feel well.
Natural medicine has made us very well acquainted with the conditions necessary for a person to feel really well and happy.

The basic questions are:

• What is your normal diet and what are your drinking habits?
• What do you eat, when do you eat, and how do you eat and drink?

Let us start with “what you eat”.

Is it really food that you eat several times a day in order simply to stay alive, or is it food products from which the “life” has been removed by sterilization and preservation processes?

This information is not meant to be any substitute for the advice a nutritionist can give, and is certainly not intended to criticize you in any way. It is rather meant to give you a pause to think about it.

Let us now discuss the question of drinking habits. Between 65 and 90 percent of our body after all consists of water. Can you imagine that water is of enormous importance for the human organism?

We drink our illnesses . . .

Louis Pasteur, the great bacteriologist, said: “We drink 90 percent of our illnesses”. Did you know that during the course of our lives (assuming we live for 70 years and on average drink 2 to 3 liters of liquids a day) we consume 600 times our body weight?

An extraordinary quantity! In view of this, it is obviously desirable to consider the criteria that water has to meet in order to create and maintain the nutrient substrate necessary for healthy daily life.

Your therapist, from whom you will have received this information, can also provide you with literature on the subject of the “right water”.

Describing this subject in full detail would take us too far away from the subject of Bio-Electronic Terrain Analysis. But, it is just worth mentioning briefly that Professor Vincent was a hydrologist, that is to say a scientist who studies and researches water, and that this diagnostic method was based on the analysis of water and its biological effect on human beings.

This short excursion into the field of “proper diet and proper drinking” has been intended to bring us, as a conclusion to this subject, to this consideration:

“Might it not be the case that proper diet and proper drinking are an important factor in our health and in the occurrence of illness?”

We can measure the state of your health and your illness!

• For this purpose, your therapist merely needs 3 ml of blood from one of your veins in order to be able to assess: your immunity, your stress and defense-against-illness factors, your thrombosis risk (the tendency to a higher coagulation of the blood, and thus the risk of a heart attack or stroke, etc.), and your energy potential.
• Just 3 ml of saliva will show the therapist, amongst other things, your pancreas activity, any mycosis strain of the intestine, and many other things as well.
• Urine, the last of these fluids, will show the acid-base balance in your metabolism, the kidney function, and many other aspects.
• The three body fluids allow the following physical readings to be taken:
  1. pH value
  2. rH2 or reduction-oxidation (Redox), and
  3. the r value (the sum total of the electrolytes), in all nine readings.

These nine readings are transferred to a computer, which can calculate 32 possible diagnoses.

For you as the patient, the following questions will be answered:

• Am I vulnerable at any level to any kind of illness?
• Is my immune system able to stand up to toxic or poisonous strain?
• Are my body and all it’s fluids still in a healthy terrain?
• Does my organism perhaps need additional vital substances, anti-oxidants, or any vitamins, minerals, or enzymes?
• How well am I currently able to defend myself against illnesses?
• How strong is my performance potential?
• Should I perhaps change any habits such as smoking, drinking, diet, sport, or stress?
• Is my present age in line with the state of my present biological body or am I, biologically, really much older than I think I am?

You will be given precise answers to all these questions in a printout document that your therapist will be very happy to explain to you.

The diagnosis applies absolutely specifically and solely to you, and makes no comparisons with any statistics or average figures. After all, it is not everybody who takes Size 8 shoes!

This diagnostic method is also ideally suitable for continuous therapeutic monitoring of illnesses. The therapist can check exactly to see whether his or her therapy is running in the right direction for you and your current state of health.

The great advantage for you and for your therapist is this: you do not need to wait a week for the results of the diagnosis. Once the readings have been taken, you can see the results of the diagnosis within 5 to 10 minutes, and can start at once on the next therapeutic steps!

And, if not, at least you have your “health document” in the form of diagrams and text!
