Bioelectronics of Vincent Terrain Analysis or BE-TA is a method of assessment developed by the the French hydrologist Claude Vincent. This device allows the physician to discover degenerative tendencies, possible areas of stress and infection, and assess detoxifcation within the patient. Professor Vincent theorized that all living systems could be described by a set of electronic variables.These variables are pH, rH2 and r.
pH is a measurement of acidity and alkalinity. The lower the pH value of a sample the more acidic it is and the higher the pH the more alkaline it is.
rH2 or redox potential is a measurement of oxidation within a sample. Oxidation is a measurement of the ability of our body to do work. The more oxidized an individual is the less able their body is to carry out normal metabolism. To get a good idea of this phenomenon imagine a car. A car that becomes oxidized gets rust. As more and more rust develops the car cannot run.
r or resistivity is a measurement of concentration in a sample. By measuring resistivity in various body fluids a physician can assess mineralization, toxic burden, detoxification capabilities and much more.
At the Richmond Hill Naturopathic Health Centre, Naturopathic Doctors measure blood, urine and saliva using the BEV. This gives a detailed picture of the patient's terrain (state of the tissue).
The BEV is considered an experimental device valid for research purposes only. RHNHC makes no claims of diagnosis or treatment with this device.
