Biological Terrain Assessment

What is Biological Terrain Assessment?

Biological Terrain Assessment is the clinical monitoring of the internal biochemical environment of your body. This comprehensive health assessment will help to get to the SOURCE of your health issues by uncovering the underlying causes of your condition. The information from this valuable assessment will be used to formulate a program tailor-made to the unique biochemical needs of your body. This will lead to solutions that will support and restore your overall health.

BeTA assessment is recommended for adults whose health is compromised. It is also of great importance to those people who are interested in maximising wellness.

Where did the concept for Biological Terrain Assessment originate?

The concept of Biological Terrain is first credited to the noted 19th century physiologist, Claude Bernard. Professor Bernard believed that it is the environment (terrain) of the cell that determines its function and integrity.

In 1935 the French hydrologist, Louis-Claude Vincent, developed the first BeTA device. In 1962, he lectured extensively in the field of Biological Terrain, and redefined the three primary

factors , as we now know them: pH (acid and alkaline balance), rH2 (oxidative stress), and r (mineral concentration).

Why is it important to measure the Biological Terrain?

While other fields of medicine examine, isolate or treat one particular part or system of the body, Biological Terrain Assessment monitors the entire system of the body. This information will give us a baseline to formulate a comprehensive treatment protocol. It also serves as an objective for monitoring the progress of your health. Biological Terrain Assessment will help to treat the SOURCE of your health issues by uncovering the underlying causes of your condition.

Just as a plant needs soil rich in nutrients to be vital and strong, so too a person requires a nutrient-rich soil - i.e. the terrain. All people require specific properties in their terrain for optimal health. Through BeTA , we evaluate the exact nature of your terrain and determine its deviations from the norm. Treatment is aimed at correcting these deviations and returns the soil to its vital state. For the body to thrive, the first step is to bring the terrain back to normal. Then further treatment methods can be more effective.

What does testing involve?

The patient fasts from night to morning and then our qualified nursing staff takes a small amount of blood, urine and saliva. We then evaluate these for pH, rH2 and r.

At a later appointment with Avraham, you receive thorough feedback on the findings of the BeTA test. Based on your terrain analysis, a tailor-made program will be formulated with you. Follow-up appointments are scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tell me more about the fast

Most people feel fine during the fast. You will be asked to finish eating your last meal at about 7:15pm . You will be able to eat again after the test at about 9:45am . Most patients like to bring in something to eat for breakfast eg . Fruit, rice cakes etc.

How often are follow-up visits?

The initial test lasts approximately 45 minutes. The results are then processed. At a later date during the week there is a feedback consultation with Avraham which lasts an hour.

Follow-up BeTA tests are scheduled at 3 monthly intervals. Interim consultations with Avraham are monthly, lasting an hour.

Does BeTA diagnose conditions?

BeTA does not diagnose conditions. It describes the state of the body's biochemistry, which may be indicative of certain illnesses.

Who can benefit from a BeTA analysis?

In order to maximize your health and vitality, specific knowledge of the status of your terrain is beneficial. BeTA assessment is recommended for adults whose health is compromised. It is also of great importance to those people who are interested in maintaining wellness.
