The Energy Mismatch Book teaches a powerful but simple way

you can work with these test kits.

Please contact us for more information.

These vials are not medicines or drugs. Although they may have the name of a virus, a
hormone or a vaccine, for example, on the test vial, they do not contain the virus, hormone or
vaccine itself, but are simply testing vials for sensitivity to that virus.

They do not need to be opened. They are completely safe and non-hazardous and are used as
a non-invasive test of a person’s area of weakness.

TEST KITS FOR ENERGY WORK

I started making test kits for my own use in 1988. Other students and practitioners became interested in them, so I
started making and selling them to these people. Over the years interest has grown so that now practitioners from
all over the world buy and enjoy using these kits.

For people interested in food allergy testing there are seven extensive food kits and two food additive test kits.
There is also a food phenolic kit, a fragrance kit and two drinks (alcoholic) kits. Environmental allergens can
cause serious problems for some people and a wide range of these can be found in three test kits (chemical and
inhalant test kit, and industrial and environmental test kits 1-3). Moulds, pollens, animal hair etc. are covered in
the two pollens kits. There is also a dental test kit containing many of the substances used routinely in dental
work, and a fragrance kit which covers some of the most common fragrances used in perfumes, personal care
products and household products. There are three pesticide kits. Pesticides have been implicated in hormonal
and neurological problems both in adults and children.

Some people have problems with vitamins and minerals or with amino acids (the building blocks of protein). For
these people nutritional test kit 1 and 2, the common metals test kit, the element test kit and the amino acid test kit
and are likely to be particularly useful.

Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites feature in six complementary test kits, giving a wide range of invasive
organisms. I have found the bacteria test kit particularly appropriate for people who have serious, long-standing
respiratory problems. This test kit includes many organisms that are commensals of the human body. This means
that they are naturally present and are thought normally not to be harmful. However, for some people this is
clearly not the case.

Although hormones, enzymes etc. are naturally occurring in the body, they can produce problems when the
body does not adequately recognize them. This can result in hormonal or enzyme imbalance and a myriad of
health problems. There are several kits relevant for this: hormones, digestive enzymes and the various body
biochemical test kits.

There are two homeopathic test kits and some flower and gem remedy test kits. There are also two herbal kits.
These kits provide a low-cost way of establishing which remedies a client needs to take, and they can also be
used as part of kinesiology procedures too. If you are using these kits to help your client decide what herbal or
homeopathic remedy to take it is important to have more background knowledge than is in these information
sheets.

There are 17 pathology/histology kits. Please read the comments about their use at the beginning of the
pathology section. There is also a histology kit containing all the healthy tissues from the 17 kits. Please be
aware if you buy this kit and then subsequently buy any of the Histology/Pathology kits you will have a lot of
duplicate vials.

The samples are in small glass vials. Glass is preferred because some people test unreliably through plastic. The
Bach flower test kit contains actual samples from one of the producers. The homeopathic test kits contain 2
tablets from a highly respected U.K. homeopathic supplier (Helios). These are in the potency 30C. The other
samples are prepared radionically in the 30th homeopathic potency and so have (as far as we know) an indefinite
shelf life. The kits come in seal-easy bags, and plastic boxes are available for storage if wanted.

The range consists of over 60 different kits. New ones are added from time to time as research and availability
allow.

Using these test kits over the years has allowed me to work efficiently and effectively helping many clients to
return to good health. I trust that you will have the same experience.

The kits come in seal-easy plastic bags. Plastic boxes are available at an extra cost. These can be ordered at the
same time or separately.

Many of the test kits contain energy patterns in brandy and water or just sterile-filtered water made up in homeopathic
potencies generated using a homeopathic simulator. There are three main reasons for this. Food test kits, amino acids,
essential oils etc. have a longer life in this form. The Maui essences are no longer made. Some of the Body Biochemicals
have to kept frozen, when not in the homeopathic form. The vials are 1-ml glass vials, approximately a third full, ample for
testing purposes .

STORAGE
It is important to store these kits out of direct sunlight, away from strong smells (such as aromatherapy oils,
herbs, etc.). We also recommend that they are stored away from magnets (in practice this means on opposite
sides of the room except when they are being used). However, some practitioners use magnets in their testing
procedures, and so far this has not caused any problem with the vials.

There are no problems about storing different kits in the same box, although you might want to organise them in
a particular way for other reasons, e.g. it is fine to store bacteria vials and flower remedies in the same box,
although you might want to store all your flower remedies together for logical reasons.

Some people seem concerned about bacteria, parasite and similar vials in some way ‘contaminating’ other vials,
because such vials have a ‘bad’ energy. This concern is completely unnecessary, and, in fact, labelling test kit
vials as containing ‘bad’ or ‘good’ energies does not stand up to any scrutiny at all. There are many bacteria that
are helpful to the human body, e.g. gut bacteria make some B vitamins and vitamin K; other bacteria help the skin
maintain its protective acid mantle. Homeopathic remedies are often made from lethal substances, e.g. snake
venom or a highly toxic metal. A homeopathic remedy made from a ‘benign’ substance can cause much upset
when used inappropriately. Many flower remedies are made from highly toxic material, e.g. monkshood or
mistletoe.

Perhaps more importantly, viewing vials as ‘bad’ can lead you subconsciously to be nervous of using these
vials, thus depriving clients of the most efficient way to help them.

The energy of these vials should not be viewed as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but merely as ‘appropriate’ or inappropriate’
at this time for this person.

WHICH TEST KITS SHOULD I BUY?

We sell over 60 test kits and, if you bought them all, it would cost you over £1500. Occasionally people
do this, but for most it is not an option. So the question often asked is: Which kits should I buy first?
There's no single answer to this, but below is some guidance by asking you questions:

Do you have a method for correcting any problems you find?


If not, the first thing I suggest you do is buy the Energy Mismatch book and read that. (To use this book
you need to have some method of testing, e.g. kinesiology or EAV.)

What type of people are you working with?


If the answer is children, you may look at buying Food Additive A, Food Additive B and Vaccination kits.
If you mainly work with women, the best kits to buy are probably Personal Care, Hormones and Body
Biochemicals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

What interests you?


There are probably lots of different ways to achieve the same results with people, even just thinking in
terms of test kits. So, if you're fascinated by allergy problems, think about buying the Food test kits, Food
Additives A and B, Chemical and Inhalants, Industrial and Environmental 1-3, and the Personal Care and
Fragrance Kits. If you're interested in 'bugs', consider Parasites 1 and 2, Virus, Bacteria and Fungus 1 and
2. If you like working with flower remedies, check out Maui, and the Earth Energies.

Do you feel that some particular factor is crucial to good health?


If you feel that no matter what the problem, it's important to get nutrition sorted out, choose Digestive
Enzymes, Nutrition 1 and 2 and the Common Metals Kits. If your training and reading emphasise the
importance of Candida, you will probably want to buy the Fungus 1 kit, which has 3 different types of
Candida in it.

Are you drawn to a particular test kit?


Sometimes people say they feel drawn to a particular test kit without being able to explain why. If you feel
this way, it is recommended you buy the kit whatever it is.

Occasionally people who spend months trying to decide which test kits to buy, rather than taking the
plunge and buying 1 or 2. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to call or email.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES (39 vials)
Product Code 8002

Code Name Description

BF1 Agrimony The jovial, cheerful, humorous people who love peace and are distressed by argument or quarrels, to
avoid which they will agree to give up much. Though generally they have troubles and are tormented
and restless and worried in mind or in body, they hide their cares behind their humour and jesting and
are considered very good friends to know. They often take alcohol or drugs in excess, to stimulate
themselves and help themselves bear their trials with cheerfulness.
BF2 Aspen Vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanation, no reason. Yet the patient may be
terrified of something terrible going to happen, he knows not what. These vague unexplainable fears
may haunt by night or day. Sufferers are often afraid to tell their trouble to others.
BF3 Beech For those who feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them. And, although
much appears to be wrong, to have the ability to see the good growing within. So as to be able to be
more tolerant, lenient and understanding of the different way each individual and all things are
working to their own final perfection.
BF4 Centuary Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their
endeavours. Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing
helpers. Their good nature leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they
may neglect their own particular mission in life.
BF5 Cerato Those who have not sufficient confidence in themselves to make their own decisions. They constantly
seek advice from others, and are often misguided.
BF6 Cherry Plum Fear of the mind being over-strained, of reason giving way, of doing fearful and dreaded things, not
wished and known wrong, yet there comes the thought and impulse to do them.
BF7 Chestnut Bud For those who do not take full advantage of observation and experience, and who take a longer time
than others to learn the lessons of daily life. Whereas one experience would be enough for some, such
people find it necessary to have more, sometimes several, before the lesson is learnt. Therefore, to
their regret, they find themselves having to make the same error on different occasions when once
would have been enough, or observation of others could have spared them even that one fault.
BF8 Chicory Those who are very mindful of the needs of others they tend to be over-full of care for children,
relatives, and friends, always finding something that should be put right. They are continually
correcting what they consider wrong, and enjoy doing so. They desire that those for whom they care
should be near them.
BF9 Clematis Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy
in their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present; living in hopes of happier
times, when their ideals may come true. In illness some make little or no effort to get well, and in certain
cases may even look forward to death, in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again some
beloved one whom they have lost.
BF10 Crab Apple This is the remedy of cleansing. For those who feel as if they had something not quite clean about
themselves. Often it is something of apparently little importance: in others there may be more serious
disease that is almost disregarded compared to the one thing on which they concentrate. In both types
they are anxious to be free from the one particular thing which is greatest in their minds and which
seems so essential to them that it should be cured. They become despondent if treatment fails. Being a
cleanser, this remedy purifies wounds if the patient has reason to believe that some poison has
entered which must be drawn out.
BF11 Elm Those who are doing good work, are following the calling of their life and who hope to do something
of importance, and this often for the benefit of humanity. At times there may be periods of depression
when they feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, and not within the power of a human
being.
BF12 Gentian Those who are easily discouraged. They may be progressing well in illness or in the affairs of their

daily life, but any small delay or hindrance to progress causes doubt and soon disheartens them.
BF13 Gorse Very great hopelessness, they have given up belief that more can be done for them. Under persuasion
or to please others they may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there
is so little hope of relief.
BF14 Heather Those who are always seeking the companionship of anyone who may be available, as they find it
necessary to discuss their own affairs with others, no matter whom it may be. They are very unhappy
if they have to be alone for any length of time.
BF15 Holly For those who are sometimes attacked by thoughts of such kind as jealousy, envy revenge,
suspicion. For the different forms of vexation. Within themselves they may suffer much, often when
there is no real cause for their unhappiness.
BF16 Honeysuckle Those who live much in the past, perhaps a time of great happiness, or memories of a lost friend, or
ambitions which have not come true. They do not expect further happiness such as they have had
BF17 Hornbeam For those who feel that they have not sufficient strength, mentally or physically, to carry the burden of
life placed upon them; the affairs of every day seem too much for them to accomplish; though they
generally succeed in fulfilling their task. For those who believe that some part, of mind or body, needs
to be strengthened before they can easily fulfil their work.
BF18 Impatiens Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or
delay. When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with
people who are slow, as they consider it wrong and a waste of time. And they will endeavour to make
such people quicker in all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do
everything at their own speed
BF19 Larch For those who do not consider themselves as good or capable as those around them, who expect
failure, who feel that they will never be a success, and so do not venture or make a strong enough
attempt to succeed.
BF20 Mimulus Fear of worldly things, illness, pain, accidents, poverty, of dark, of being alone, of misfortune. The
fears of everyday life. These people quietly and secretly bear their dread; they do not freely speak of it
to others
BF21 Mustard Those who are liable to times of gloom, or even despair, as though a cold dark cloud overshadowed
them and hid the light and the joy of life. It may not be possible to give any reason or explanation for
such attacks. Under these conditions it is almost impossible to appear happy or cheerful.
BF22 Oak For those who are struggling and fighting strongly to get well, or in connection with the affairs of their
daily life. They will go on trying one thing after another, though their case may seem hopeless.
BF23 Olive Those who have suffered much mentally or physically and so exhausted and weary that they feel they
have no more strength to make any effort. Daily life is hard work for them, without pleasure.
BF24 Pine For those who blame themselves. Even when successful they think they could have done better, and
are never content with their efforts or the results. They are hard-working and suffer much from the
faults they attach to themselves. Sometimes if there is any mistake it is due to another, but they will
claim responsibility even for that.
BF25 Red Chestnut For those who find it difficult not to be anxious for other people. Often they have ceased to worry
about themselves, but Rock Rosefor those of whom they are fond they may suffer much, frequently
anticipating that some unfortunate thing may happen to them.
BF26 Rock Rose The Remedy of emergency. For cases where there even appears no hope. In accident or sudden
illness, or when the patient is very frightened or terrified. If the patient is not conscious the lips may be
moistened with the remedy.
BF27 Rock Water Those who are very strict in their way of living; they deny themselves many of the joys and pleasures
of life because they consider it might interfere with their work. They are hard masters to
themselves. They wish to be well and strong and active, and will do anything that they believe will
keep them so. They hope to be examples that will appeal to others who may then follow their ideas and
be better as a result.

Code Name Description

BF28 Scleranthus Those who suffer much from being unable to decide between two things, first one seeming right then
the other. They are usually quiet people, and bear their difficulty alone, often refusing to discuss it
with others.
BF29 Star Of For those in great distress under conditions which for a time produce great unhappiness. The shock of
Bethlehem serious news, the loss of someone dear, the fright following an accident, and such like. For those who
for a time refuse to be consoled, this remedy brings comfort.
BF30 Sweet For those moments which happen to some people when the anguish is so great as to seem to be
Chestnut unbearable. When the mind or body feels as if it had borne to the uttermost limit of its endurance, and
that now it must give way. When it seems there is nothing but destruction and annihilation left to face.
BF31 Vervain Those with fixed principles and ideas, which they are confident, are right, and which they very rarely
change. They have a great wish to convert all around them to their own views of life. They are strong
of will and have much courage when they are convinced of those things that they wish to teach. In
illness they struggle on long after many would have given up their duties.
BF32 Vine Very capable people, certain of their own ability, confident of success. Being so assured, they think
that it would be for the benefit of others if they could be persuaded to do things as they themselves
do, or as they are certain is right. Even in illness they will direct their attendants. They may be of great
value in emergency.
BF33 Walnut For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions
are tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm, convictions or
strong opinion of others. The remedy gives constancy and protection from outside influences.
BF34 Water Violet For those who in health or illness like to be alone. Very quiet people, who move about without noise,
speak little, and then gently. Very independent, capable and self-reliant. Almost free of the opinions of
others. They are aloof, leave people alone and go their own way. Often clever and talented.
BF35 White For those who cannot prevent thoughts, ideas, arguments which they do not desire from entering their
Chestnut minds. Usually at such times when the interest of the moment is not strong enough to keep the mind
full. Thoughts that worry and will remain, or if for a time thrown out, will return. They seem to circle
round and round and cause mental torture. The presence of such unpleasant thoughts drives out
peace and interferes with being able to think only of the work or pleasure of the day.
BF36 Wild Oat Those who have ambitions to do something of prominence in life, who wish to have much experience,
and to enjoy all that which is possible for them, to take life to the full. Their difficulty is to determine
what occupation to follow; as although their ambitions are strong, they have no calling which appeals
to them above all others. This may cause delay and dissatisfaction.
BF37 Wild Rose Those who without apparently sufficient reason become resigned to all that happens, and just glide
through life, take it as it is, without any effort to improve things and find some joy. They have
surrendered to the struggle of life without complaint.
BF38 Willow For those who have suffered misfortune and find these difficult to accept, without complaint or
resentment, as they judge life much by the success which it brings. They feel that they have not
deserved so great a trial and they become embittered. They often take less interest in those things of
life which they had previously enjoyed.
BF39 Rescue A combination of Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Star of Bethlehem. All purpose
Remedy emergency composite for effects of anguish, examinations, going to the dentist, etc. Comforting,
calming and reassuring to those distressed by startling experiences.

Prostaglandins
Michael W. Davidson of the Florida State University: "Prostaglandins act in a manner similar to that of hormones, by
stimulating target cells into action. However, they differ from hormones in that they act locally, near their site of
synthesis, and they are metabolized very rapidly. Another unusual feature is that the same prostaglandins act
differently in different tissues."

Glycolysis
A series of chemical reactions in the cytosol of the cell in which a molecule of glucose is split into two molecules
of pyruvic acid 2 and two ATP’s molecules (the energy currency of living cells, storing and transferring energy
produced in metabolic processes)

EARTH ENERGIES (7 vials)
Product Codes: 8015 for test kit and 6600 for dispensing set

All of these energies have been made by Jane Thurnell-Read either alone or with the help of John Payne. The
essences are a combination of place, time of day, season, sea-state, weather and prevailing mood. They have been
collected from various places in west Cornwall, England.

The Earth Energies Test Kit (product code 8015) can be used as part of Kinesiology procedures.

The essences are also available in 30 ml bottles (6600 for a full set, and 6601 to 6607 for individual essences). The
most common way to use these essences is to place a drop on the soft skin webbing between the thumb and first
finger on the left hand. This can be repeated as needed or as tested. In general it is 3-4 times a day, but can be up to 9
times a day.

ELECTRO-MAGNETIC TEST KIT (14 vials)
Product Code 8097

Code Name Comments


EM 01 Computer Monitor / Visual Display Unit
Emanations
EM 02 Electricity

EM 03 Electricity High Voltage The way electricity is transported from power stations to
sub-stations near populations. This reduces the amount of
energy lost in long-distance transmission.
EM 04 Electro-Magnetic Field The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric
field and a magnetic field. The electric field is produced by
stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving
charges (currents); these two are often described as the
sources of the field. Any device connected to an electrical
outlet, even if the device is not switched on, will have an
associated electric field.
EM 05 Extremely Low Frequency Radiation ELF fields are defined as those having frequencies up to
(ELF) 300 Hz. Emitted by power lines, electrical wiring and
common appliances (e.g. electric blankets, televisions, hair-
dryers, computers, etc.). Naturally occurring ELF fields are
associated with atmospheric processes such as
ionospheric currents, thunderstorms and lightning.
EM 06 Fluorescent Light
EM 07 Microwave 750 MHz Used for telecommunications and heating food. Able to
pass through many things including human body.
EM 08 Mobile Phone 900 MHz

EM 09 Mobile Phone 1200 MHz

EM 10 Mobile Phone 1800 MHz

EM 11 Mobile Phone Mast G3

EM 12 Satellite Television Radio Waves (UK) Radio waves, despite their name, are used for television
transmissions.
EM 13 Tetra Mast Radiation Terrestrial Trunked Radio (formerly known as Trans-
European Trunked Radio). TETRA was specifically
designed for use by government agencies, emergency
services, (police forces, fire departments, ambulance) for
public safety networks, rail transportation staff for train
radios, transport services and the military. Used by
countries in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East,
Africa, Asia Pacific, Caribbean and Latin America.

FRAGRANCE TEST KIT (27 vials)
Product Code 8026

Exposure to perfume occurs not only because of perfume the person uses themselves, but also those
used by other people, and encountered in shops and household products.

It is easy to think of perfumes as only being used in perfumes, air fresheners and similar products,
but perfumes (often a mixture of many different synthetic products) are added to a whole range of
products: cosmetics, personal care products, detergents and household cleaning agents, etc.

The finished product will not necessarily have a strong smell, because the perfume may have been
added to disguise the unpleasant smell of active ingredients, e.g. in hair dyes. Perfume mixes added
to products are listed in the ingredients as ‘parfum’ or ‘fragrance’. The exact composition of these
may vary over time even for the same product, as the manufacturer adjust the fragrance mix in
relation to variations in the smell of the raw ingredients.

Many chemicals used as fragrances are also used as flavourings in food, drink and medicines.

95% of chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. Although
natural sources of some of the chemicals are listed below this does not mean that industrial
production is normally from natural sources.

Fungus:
Simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic reactions and/or
colonisation of body tissues.
Protozoa:
The simplest, most primitive type of animal, consisting of a single cell.
Rickettsia:
A type of parasitic micro-organism. They resemble bacteria but are only able to replicate by invading the cells of
another life form; rickettsiae are parasites of ticks, lice, etc., which can transmit the rickettsiae to humans via their
bite or contaminated faeces.
Chlamydia:
Micro-organisms are bigger than viruses and smaller than bacteria; like viruses they can only multiply by first
invading the cells of another life-form; otherwise more like bacteria and are susceptible to antibiotics.

Nosocomial infection: contracted in hospital

FUNGUS 2 TEST KIT (30 Vials)
Product Code 8028

The starting material for this kit (dried and powdered fungi) was supplied by Michael Lebowitz, DC, of
Colorado USA. The company that originally provided them is no longer in business, so it is not possible to
ascertain exactly what strains are in the mixes.

Fungus are simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic
reactions and/or colonisation of body tissues.

There are other hormones are in the Body Biochemical Test Kits.

Code Name Secreting Gland Comment

H1 Adrenocorticotropic Pituitary Stimulates adrenal cortex to secrete other hormones.


(ACTH)
H2 Aldosterone Adrenal Cortex Increases re-absorption of sodium from urine and stimulates
excretion of potassium.
H3 Androgen A group of hormones that contribute to development of male
reproductive system, e.g. testosterone.
H4 Antidiuretic Hormone Hypothalamus Affects urine volume, stored in posterior pituitary.
(ADH)/ Vasopressin
H5 Calcitonin (CT) Thyroid Homeostasis of blood calcium and phosphate levels.
H6 Cholecystokinin (CCK) Duodenum Inhibits secretion of gastric juice, decreases movement of GI
tract, stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice rich in digestive
enzymes, causes ejection of bile from gall bladder and opening
of sphincters at common duct, and induces a feeling of satiety;
may regulate feeding as a “stop eating” signal.
H7 Corticosterone Adrenal Cortex Converted to aldosterone by aldosterone synthase
H8 Corticotropin Releasing Hypothalamus Stimulates release of ACTH involved in the regulation of food
Hormone (CRH) intake, energy homeostasis and stress response.
H9 Cortisone/Cortisol Adrenal Cortex Breaks down muscle. See also glucocorticoids.
H10 Epinephrine/Adrenaline Adrenal Medulla Helps body resist stress by increasing heart rate, constricting
blood vessels, accelerating respiration, decreasing digestion,
increasing efficiency of muscular contractions, increasing
blood sugar, stimulating cellular metabolism.
H11 Follicle-Stimulating Pituitary Stimulates production of eggs and sperm.
Hormone (FSH)
H12 Glucocorticoids Adrenal Cortex Resistance to stress. 3 of them: cortisol, corticosterone, and
cortisone. Makes sure enough energy is available; conversion
of non-carbohydreates into energy; makes blood vessels more
sensitive to vessel-constricting chemicals, anti-inflammatory.
H13 Growth Hormone Hypothalamus, Inhibits secretion of acid and pepsin and release of gastrin,
Inhibiting Hormone Pancreas, Intestinal insulin and glucagons; inhibits motility of the gall bladder and
(GHIH) / Somatostatin Tract And Regions Of intestine; suppresses secretion of lipase by the pancreas;
The Central Nervous slows absorption of nutrients from the gastro-intestinal tract.
System Outside The
Hypothalamus
H14 Insulin Pancreas Decreases blood sugar levels; prevents muscle from being
broken down.
H15 Luteinizing Hormone Pituitary Stimulates sexual reproduction activities.
H16 Melanocyte-stimulating Pituitary Increases skin pigmentation. Inhibits fever and peripheral
Hormone (MSH) inflammation. Suppresses appetite.
H17 Norepinephrine/Noradre Adrenal Medulla As epinephrine.

pituitary. Lowers steroid synthesis in testes.
H20 Parathyroid Hormone Parathyroid Helps to control homeostasis of calcium and phosphates in
(PTH) the blood.
H21 Progesterone (PROG) Ovaries Helps prepare endometrium for implantation of fertilised ovum
and mammary glands for milk secretion. Can inhibit GnRH &
PRL.
H22 Prolactin (PRL) Pituitary Initiates milk production by mammary glands. Excess prolactin
can lead to absence of ovulation, lack of periods, excessive or
spontaneous secretion of milk in women, and decreased sex
drive, decreased sperm production and impotence in men.
Women who cannot conceive often have high levels of
prolactin. Enhances dopamine secretion. May be involved in
the immune system.
H23 Relaxin (RLX) Ovaries And Placenta Relaxes symphysis pubis & dilates cervix towards end of
pregnancy.
H24 Secretin Intestinal Mucosa Inhibits secretion of gastric juices, decreases movement of GI
tract, stimulates secretion of pancreatic juice rich in sodium
bicarbonate ions, stimulates secretion of bile by hepatic cells
of liver.

females.
H26 Thymosin Thymus Maturation of T lymphocytes.
H27 Thyroid-stimulating Pituitary Stimulates thyroid gland to produce its hormones.
Hormone (TSH)
H28 Thyrotropin Releasing Hypothalamus Stimulates anterior pituitary to secrete TSH.
Hormone (TRH)
H29 Triiodothyronine/ T3 Thyroid Regulates metabolism by stimulating carbohydrate and fat
breakdown, growth and development, and regulate activity of
nervous system resulting in increased and more forceful heart
beat, increased motility of GI tract, increased nervousness.
H30 Human Growth Anterior Pituitary Increases the growth rate of the skeleton and skeletal muscles
Hormone/Somatotropin in children and teenagers. In adults helps to maintain muscle

INVASIVE ORGANISMS TEST KIT - COMPOSITES (8 vials)
Product Code 8035

The starting point for these vials was the individual organisms listed overleaf, but each vial
represents more than just the sum total of these organisms: they represent the essential energy
pattern of each category.

IV1 Bacteri
Abundant in air, soil and water. Some are beneficial ( e.g. those living in intestine and breaking down food) and
some are harmless to humans. Bacteria which are harmful are known as pathogens. Three main categories: cocci
(spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped) and spirochaetes or spirilla (spiral-shaped). Bacteria can grow in an inert medium.
Susceptible to antibiotics.

IV2 Chlamydia:
Micro-organisms which are intermediate in size between viruses and bacteria; like viruses they can only multiply
by first invading the cells of another life-form; otherwise more like bacteria and are susceptible to antibiotics.

IV3 Fungus:
Simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic reactions and/or
colonisation of body tissues. Fungi can be divided into moulds which reproduce by sporing and yeasts which
reproduce by budding.

IV4 and IV5 Parasites (Internal & External)


Any organism living in or on any other living creature and deriving advantage from doing so, while causing
disadvantage to the host. Internal parasites are commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat, swallowing
eggs on food, contaminating fingers with faecal material or through contact with infected water. Scolex is the part
of the tapeworm attached by suckers and hooks to gut wall of host; sometimes called head. Proglottides is the
segment-like units of the tapeworm body which, when mature, leave the gut of the primary host in the faeces;
they are budded off from the scolex.

The life stages of the roundworm: egg larva adult


The life stages of the tapeworm: egg → larva → encased by body in a cyst → adult
The life stages of the fluke: egg → miracidia → redia → cercaria → metacercaria → adult

IV6 Protozoa
The simplest, most primitive type of animal, consisting of a single cell. Resistant to antibiotics.

IV7 Rickettsia
A type of parasitic micro-organism. They resemble bacteria but are only able to replicate by invading the cells of
another life form; rickettsiae are parasites of ticks, lice, etc. These animals can transmit the rickettsiae to humans
via their bite or contaminated faeces.

IV8 Viruses
The smallest known type of infective agent. Outside of living cells viruses are inert. They invade living cells,
take them over and make copies of themselves. Not susceptible to antibiotics.

LYME PLUS TEST KIT (61 Vials)
Product Code 8094

Please Note:
Some of the species included have only ever been documented in animals, but because
differentiation of the various species is time-consuming and not always carried out when people
present with symptoms, these species have been included.

There is some indication of countries where a particular species has been found, but this does not
mean that it is only present in the countries listed.

Cat Scratch Disease


Lymph nodes, especially those around the head, neck, and upper limbs, become swollen.
Additionally, a person with CSD may experience fever, headache, fatigue, and a poor appetite.

Lyme Disease
Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema
migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system.

Relapsing Fever
Relapsing or recurring episodes of fever, often accompanied by headache, muscle and joint aches
and nausea.

PARASITE TEST KIT 1 (31 vials)
Product Code 8038

Parasite: “any organism living in or on any other living creature and deriving advantage from doing so, while
causing disadvantage to the host”
BMA Complete Family Health Encyclopaedia

Parasites are commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat, swallowing eggs on food, contaminating fingers
with faecal material or through contact with infected water.

Categories of parasites
Parasites are divided into the following categories:

1. flatworms (also called platyhelminths)


a) tapeworms (also called cestodes)
b) flukes (also called trematodes)
2. roundworms
a) threadworms
b) pinworms
c) hookworms

Life stages
Roundworms: egg → larva → adult
Tapeworms: egg → larva → encased by body in a cyst → adult
Fluke: egg → miracidia → redia → cercaria → metacercaria → adult

Scolex = part of tapeworm attached by suckers and hooks to gut wall of host; sometimes called head
Proglottides = segment-like units of the tapeworm body which, when mature, leave the gut of the primary host in
the faeces; they are budded off from the scolex

PATHOLOGY/HISTOLOGY TEST KITS

There are some important omissions from these test kits. This is usually because a suitable sample was not
available from which to make the test vials.

These kits are not intended for diagnosis of medical conditions.

Testing may indicate a vial for various reasons:

- A diseased tissue may be indicated, even though the disease is not present, because the test kits do not
contain a suitable example of a healthy tissue

- A vial may be indicated, not because it is wanted in its entirety, but because it contains a particular cellor
cells, e.g. there are various types of epithelium (the lining of organs etc), so testing may indicate a particular
organ, not because that organ is in any way defective, but because the sample contains a particular type of
epithelium tissue

- The exact match is not available, so the energy system is choosing the nearest match

- A chronic disease vial may be indicated, not because the person has that disease but because they have the
miasm / inherited taint represented by the chronic disease, e.g. the tubercular and syphilitic miasms are well
known among homeopaths; these do not indicate the presence of the disease, but indicate a chronic
tendency to manifest particular symptoms: the person with a tubercular miasm is always nervous and tired;
the person with the syphilitic miasm tends to be sulky, depressed and stupid, with problems with teeth and
bones, etc. (Consult homeopathic texts for more information on this. A Study Course In Homeopathy by
Phyllis Speight offers an excellent introduction to this fascinating topic.)

Cancer

There are many cancer vials within the Pathology/Histology kits. So here are some general comments:

Cancer can be defined as a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control. Cancer cells can
invade nearby tissues and can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.

- Although people will often talk about ‘breast cancer’ or ‘renal cancer’, there are usually several different
types of cancers that can occur within any organ; their treatment and prognosis may be completely
different

- There are various general terms that mean cancer but these are not inter-changeable, as they refer to
cancer of a particular tissue type, e.g.
o ‘sarcomas’ are cancers of connective tissue, cartilage, bone, muscle
o ‘carcinomas’ are cancers of epithelial cells (cells lining organs)
o ‘adenocarcinomas’ are cancers of glandular cells
o ‘adenomas’ are benign, non-cancerous tumours

- Secondary cancer is when a cancer has spread from one type of tissue to another (via the blood streamor
the lymphatic system). This process is called ‘metastatising’. One of the most important things to
recognise about secondary cancers is that the cancer cells in the secondary site look and behave like
cancer cells in the primary site, so, for example, if lung cancer (primary) has spread to the bones
(secondary), the person will have lung cancer cells in the bones and not bone cancer cells.

- The term ‘in situ’ means that the cancer has not spread to other tissues.

- The term ‘tumour / tumor’ refers to an abnormal mass of tissue that results from excessive cell division.
Tumours perform no useful body function. They may either be benign (not cancerous) or malignant
(cancerous).

The 17 kits are:

Pathology/Histology 1: Respiratory System

PE 24 Pyrethrum / Natural insecticide from the chrysanthemum plant; used in sprays against lice,
CAS 8003-34-7 mosquitos (evaporation papers), flies, cockraoches, also in storage of grain, in
poultry farming and on cats and dogs.
PE 25 Thomasmehl By-product in iron smelting, used as a fertiliser.

Organochlorides kill pests by attacking their central nervous systems. Linked to cancer, birth defects and
genetic changes in animals. They are fat soluble and stored in body fat. They are far more persistent than
organophosphates.

Organophosphates interfere with nerve conduction in pests. They are the most common pesticide used today.
They are water soluble and break down rapidly.

Acaracides are the class of pesticides used against mites and ticks.

The Red List: compiled by UK Department of Environment in 1989; the Government wishes to reduce input of
these substances.

The EU List of 129 (Priority Candidate List): most extensively used and most hazardous of chemicals which are
next in line to be included in the EU black lists or grey lists.

Carcinogenic rating taken from information supplied by The International Agency for Research on Cancer and
the US Environmental Protection Agency.

WHO Class 1 Pesticides: Class 1a is extremely hazardous; Class 1b is highly hazardous.

CAS: Chemical Abstract Service Numbers. A system for allocating numbers to all chemicals.

Cholinesterase-Inhibitor: Cholinesterase is a very important enzyme for the normal functioning of the nerve
system in humans, vertebrates and insects. It breaks down transmitter systances like acetylcholine. Some of the
pesticides like the organophosphates interfere with this enzyme or block it and disturb the normal functioning of
the nervous system. They are made to kill insects by these effects. If such chemicals are present in the synapses
of the nerve system, some neurotransmitter accumulate because the enzymes that break them down do not work.
This leads to overstimulated nerve functioning with symptoms like: sleepiness, vertigo, blurred vision, headache,
sweating, overstimulted excretion of tears, etc.

RECREATIONAL DRUGS TEST KIT (14 vials)
Product Code 8061

This test kit contains the energy patterns (homeopathic) of these drugs and not the substances
themselves.

RD1 Amphetamine: also called speed, uppers, bennies. A central nervous system stimulant. Short term effects:
increases mental alertness and physical energy, decreases appetite, dryness of mouth. Depression and
fatigue as drug wears off. At high doses: tremor, sweating, anxiety, headaches, palpitations and chest pains.

RD2 Cannabis Resin: see Marijuana.

RD3 Cocaine: also called coke, crack, nose candy, snow. A central nervous system stimulant and local
anaesthetic. Moderate doses: sense of well-being and elation, appetite reduced, increase in heart rate and
blood pressure, tremors, sweating, dilation of pupils. Large doses: agitation, anxiety, hallucinations and
paranoia.

RD4 Dihydracodein: a narcotic analgesic.

RD5 Ecstasy: a modification to the structure of amphetamines. In low doses: mental relaxation, tense muscles,
increased sensitivity to stimuli and sometimes hallucinations. Higher doses: similar to amphetamines.

RD6 Heroin: also called horse, junk, smack, scag, H. Central nervous system depressant. Short term effects: a
feeling of well-being and contentment. Breathing and heart rate slowed; cough reflex inhibited. Long term
effects: constipation, reduced sexual drive, disruption of menstrual cycle, poor appetite. Often mixed with
other substances. Highly addictive.

RD7 LSD: also called lysergic acid, acid, haze. An hallucinogenic. Restlessness, dizziness, coldness and
shivering, uncontrollable desire to laugh, distortion in perception of sound and vision. Can lead to lasting
mental problems. Flashbacks can occur months or years after taking the drug.

RD8 Magic Mushroom

RD9 Marijuana: also known as cannabis, grass, pot, dope, weed, hash, ganja. A central nervous system
depressant, hallucinogenic, anti-emetic (stops vomiting). Short term: feelings of relaxation, enhances visual
and auditory perception, increases talkativeness, appetite stimulated. Impairment of short-termmemory and
problems with co-ordination. Long-term effect: probably increases risk of lung disorders, may reduce
fertility, may lead to apathy and lethargy.

RD10 Mescaline/Peyote: also called cactus buttons, big chief. An hallucinogenic. Alters visual and auditory
perception. Appetite reduced. Risk of unpleasant mental effects, particularly if person anxious or depressed.
May also experience nausea and vomiting caused by other constituents in plant.

RD11 Morphine Sulphate (controlled release): see Heroin.

RD12 Methadone: A narcotic used as an analgesic to ease heroin withdrawal. Can be addictive in its own right.

RD13 Nicotine: from cigarette smoke. Non-smokers are also exposed to this.

RD14 Cotinine: the breakdown product from nicotine. Nicotine is broken down into this in the body. Cotinine
is highly addictive. Cotinine can be detected in the blood and urine of both smokers and children and
adults exposed to cigarette smoke in their environment. Cotinine has been found in the breast milk of
smokers too. Cotinine persists in the system longer than nicotine.

VACCINATION TEST KIT (31 vials)
Product Code 8062

The incidence of many of the childhood infectious diseases has declined over the years. This has been attributed to
the success of the immunisation programme, but:

• scarlet fever has shown a similar pattern of decline even though there has been no immunisation programme
• many of the infectious diseases were in decline because of improvements in hygiene etc. even before the
immunisation programme was introduced
• many doctors will not diagnose a patient as suffering from a particular infection if the patient has been
immunised against it, even if the patient is showing all the symptoms of having the disease; sometimes this leads
to a “renaming” of diseases, e.g. symptoms of polio in vaccinated people are often classified as aseptic
meningitis rather than polio

The risk of immunisation may be much greater than medically recognized because:

• many of the medical studies showing limited side-effects have only looked at the effects for a few days after
immunisation
• some of the effect of the vaccination may be there immediately but not easily observable. e.g. has been
suggested that immunisation alters the ratio of T-helper cells and T-suppresser cells; this could be a factor in the
increase in allergies among children
• some immunisations are only temporary or give partial immunity; they become ineffective during adult life when
the complications of the disease are much more dangerous
• natural immunity gives life-time protection; natural immunity is gained from childhood illness when the disease is
generally mild in well nourished children (e.g. measles can cause blindness but if Vitamin A is given at the same
time the possibilities of complications are dramatically reduced)
• lack of natural immunity could mean that mothers are unable to pass on placental immunity to their babies,
making babies too young to be vaccinated susceptible to measles, etc.
• live attenuated viruses are capable of reversion to wild-type parent strains capable of producing disease in
inoculated people
• reducing the prevalence of one strain of a virus can allow another possibly more deadly strain to proliferate
• after vaccination cell-mediated immunity is suppressed for a time- this can allow infection in or allow a latent
infection to become an acute attack
In U.K. wide scale immunisation against childhood infections began in 1950’s
It is argued by some that vaccination leads to general immune suppression with an increase in allergies, recurrent
infections, auto-immune diseases, and degenerative diseases.

upper respiratory tract illness (a cold and sore throat).

VI 42 Rhinovirus Main cause of human common cold.

VI 43 Rotavirus The most common cause of severe diarrhoea among infants and
young children. Can occur throughout life: the first usually produces
symptoms, but subsequent infections are typically mild or
asymptomatic.
VI 44 Severe Acute A viral respiratory illness; no known outbreaks since 2004. Seen as a
Respiratory Syndrome potential biological warfare agent.
Virus (SARS)
VI 45 Swine Flu Virus / Swine Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and
Influenza Virus / H1N1 does not always lead to human flu.
Virus
VI 46 West Nile Virus Main route of human infection is through the bite of an infected
mosquito. Approximately 90% of West Nile Virus infections in
humans are without any symptoms. Found in Africa, Europe, the
Middle East, west and central Asia, Oceania and North America.

WEIGHT KIT (38 vials)
Product Code 8098

All these vials are available in other kits (Hormone, Body Biochemicals and Amino Acids).
This kit simply brings the ones involved in weight loss into one place.

Code Name Actions Associated With Weight Control


WT 01 Anandamide May increase appetite.
WT 02 Arginine An amino acid. Involved with glucose control mechanism in blood; enhances
fat metabolism; involved in insulin production; stimulates human growth
hormone.
WT 03 Carnitine An amino acid. Major role in transferring fatty acids into cells where used as
energy sources; mobilising fatty deposits in obesity.
WT 04 CART Modulates the action of leptin and neuropeptide Y and so reduces appetite.
WT 05 CCK / Cholecystokinin Stimulates a feeling of satiety; may regulate feeding as a “stop eating” signal.
WT 06 Corticotropin Releasing Involved in the regulation of food intake.
Hormone / CRH
WT 07 Cortisol / The principal gluccocorticoid; increases blood glucose levels by increasing
Hydrocortisone cellular utilisation of proteins and fats as energy sources thus conserving
glucose; stimulates liver cells to produce glucose from amino acids and fats.
WT 08 Cylic AMP / Cyclic Causes adipose cells to break down triglycerides and release fatty acids more
Adenosine-3’,5’ - rapidly; stimulates thyroid cells to secrete more thyroid hormone.
monophospate
WT 09 Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV Arrests biological activity of GLP1 and Substance P.
WT 10 Epinephrine/ Adrenaline Slows digestion, increases blood sugar.
WT 11 Exendin (9-39) Reduces glucose levels; competes for the same brain receptors as GLP1 and
so blocks the effect of GLP1 and stimulates appetite.
WT 12 Galanin Stimulates the appetite.
WT 13 Ghrelin Increases appetite; may be a hormonal link between stomach, hypothalamus
and pituitary and so regulate energy balance; regulates growth hormone
secretions; may signal to the hypothalamus when an increase in metabolic
efficiency is necessary.
WT 14 Glucagon Raises blood sugar levels by accelerating breakdown of glycogen into glucose
in the liver, converting other nutrients into glucose in the liver, and releasing
glucose into the blood – opposes the action of insulin.
WT 15 Glucagon-Like Peptide Stimulates production of insulin; inhibits production of glucagon and gastric
1/GLP1 emptying; reduces appetite; lowers blood glucose in people with diabetes.
WT 16 Glucocorticoids Conversion of non-carbohydrates into energy.
WT 17 Glycogen The principal carbohydrate storage material in the body; plays an important role
in controlling blood sugar levels.
WT 18 Glycogen Phosphorylase Involved in converting glycogen to glucose.
A
WT 19 Glycogen Synthase Involved in converting glucose to glycogen.

Code Name Actions Associated With Weight Control
WT 20 Growth Hormone Inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagons and slows absorption of nutrients
Inhibiting Hormone / from the gastro-intestinal tract.
Somatostatin
WT 21 Human Growth Hormone Helps to maintain muscle and bone mass and promote healing of injuries and
/ Somatotropin tissue repair; speeds up the breakdown of liver glycogen into glucose; excess
production may cause diabetes mellitus.
WT 22 Insulin Decreases blood sugar levels.
WT 23 Leptin Released by fat cells as they synthesise triglycerides; reduces appetite; non-
insulin dependent diabetes.
WT 24 Melanocyte-Stimulating Suppresses appetite.
Hormone / MSH
WT 25 Neuromedin B Involved in blood glucose control; suppresses the appetite.
WT 26 Neuropeptide Y Stimulates appetite; causes increased storage of ingested food as fat; reduces
energy expenditure.
WT 27 Orexin B Generated when blood sugar levels drop, so acting as a trigger to eat.
WT 28 Pheylalanine An amino acid. Precursor of tyrosine and therefore dopamine, norepinephrine
(noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline), so affects blood sugar levels and
fat metabolism; necessary for thyroid; involved in weight control.
WT 29 Prostaglandin E2 / PGE2 Acts on adenylate cyclase to enhance the production of cyclic AMP.
WT 30 Protein Tyrosine Inhibits signaling of leptin and insulin1; may explain resistance to leptin and
Phosphatase / PTP1B insulin; likely to be important in obesity and type 2 diabetes; drug research now
being carried out to find drugs to inhibit PTP1B.
WT 31 Reverse T3 / 3,3’,5’- Reverse T3 and T3 are secreted in an inverse relationship allowing the thyroid
Triiodothyronine to adjust the amount of thyroid activity; blocks the action of T3 by binding
with the receptor sites.
WT 32 Serotonin Decreases carbohydrate cravings; provides a feeling of fullness; enhances
mood.
WT 33 Thyroid-Stimulating Stimulates thyroid gland to produce its hormones.
Hormone / TSH
WT 34 Thyrotropin Releasing Stimulates anterior pituitary to secrete TSH.
Hormone / TRH
WT 35 Thyroxine / Converted into T3; increase rate at which cells release energy from
Tetraiodothyronine / T4 carbohydrates.
WT 36 Triiodothyronine/T3 Regulates metabolism by stimulating carbohydrate and fat breakdown.
WT 37 Urocortin Inhibits appetite.
WT 38 Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg Research on rats indicates that this is an appetite suppressant.
