Biological Terrain Assessment

BTA which addresses health issues "from the inside" by providing a computerized assessment of your urine and saliva, the BTA gives valuable insight into your state of wellness and the critical imbalances in pH, oxidative stress and gross mineral concentration. With this unique tool, one can begin to target health issues at the cellular level.

  What is the science of Biological Terrain?

The science of Biological Terrain involves the study of the cells in the human body and the interstitial fluid environment that nourishes those cells.

Biological Terrain clinicians closely monitor the Biological Terrain or cellular environment through assessing urine and saliva.

Specific values within these biological fluids offer valuable information that may help identify the underlying factors that may be contributing to cellular stress.

Dr. Claude Bernard, a French physiologist, developed the theory of Biological Terrain over 100 years ago.

He believed that most illness was caused by imbalances in the body's interstitial cellular environment that he called the "Milieu Interior" or Biological Terrain.

It was his belief that disturbances in this cellular environment affected the integrity of the body's cells.

This, in turn, compromised the immune system's ability to fight disease and maintain health. This theory later developed into the science that we know today as Biological Terrain.

In the years since Dr. Bernard introduced his theory the concept of Biological Terrain has become a widely-accepted and reputable form of science recognized by researchers, health care practitioners and nutritionists all over the world.  Its biochemical and nutritional concepts have extensive application for all types of research and health care assessment.
 
What is the role of the Biological Terrain in the human body?
 
The Biological Terrain has many important functions. This interstitial fluid invironment is responsible for delivering nutrients to every cell in the human body. The electrolytes, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, hormones and fluid within the Biological Terrain enables the body's 100 trillion cells to perform all of their vital functions of maintaining life and health.

In addition to supplying nutrition to the body's cells, the Biological Terrain is also responsible for carrying energy-rich substances throughout the body for the production of  energy or ATP.  ATP  is the form of energy that is needed to carry out most actions and reactions in the body.

A third important function of the Biological Terrain involves the movement of minerals from the cells for filtering and disposal by the body. These minerals enter the body's biological fluids of blood, urine, lymphatic fluid and saliva. These fluids serve as indicators of what has been released from within the cells. If the critical balance of pH, nutrient or mineral levels or hydration within the Biological  Terrain becomes disturbed or damaged, cellular stress may result.  Over time, this may contribute to the development of poor health and increased susceptibility to the effects of opportunistic organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Monitoring the Biological Terrain provides an inside look at the vital biochemical functions that contribute to maintaining strength and vitality in the body.

When cells live in a healthy biological Terrain with balanced pH, nutrient and hydration levels, they will thrive. They may also be better equipped to resist the effects of damaging organisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi.

What factors can create imbalances in the Biological Terrain?

"A certain amount of stress is necessary for life.
Chronic stress and prolonged exposure to such factors as poor diet and environmental toxins creates disturbances in the critical balance of the Biological Terrain.
These imbalances can affect the overall health and vitality of the cellular environment."
Dr. Robert Greenberg
Inventor of the BTA S-100 tm

The body and its cells have been  created with many complex biochemical systems to handle stress and maintain balance in the body.

Prolonged exposure to such factors as excessive stress, poor diet, too little sleep, certain drugs, alcohol & smoking, and poisons, chemicals and toxins in the air, food, water and environment, however, can create biochemical stress. These factors can create deficiencies and excesses that can severely affect the integrity of the Biological Terrain.

A compromised terrain environment, in turn, is less equipped to support the health of the trillions of cells that rely upon it for nourishment and support.
