HOW TO TEST YOURSELF
copper dioxide, and so forth. These may be similar to some of
the reaction products one might expect in the body, coming
from a copper IUD, copper bracelet or copper plumbing. Since
the electronic properties of elemental copper are not the same as
for copper compounds, we would miss many test results if we
used only dry elemental copper as a test substance.
Impure Test Substances
It is not necessary to have pure test substances. For
instance, a tire balancer made of lead can be easily obtained at
an auto service station. Leaded gasoline and lead fishing
weights also make good test substances for lead. There is a
disadvantage, though, to using impure test substances. You are
including the extra impurities in your test. If your lead object
also has tin in it, you are also testing for tin. Usually, you can
infer the truth by some careful maneuvering. If you have
searched your kidneys for leaded gasoline, fishing weights and
tire balancers and all 3 are resonant with your kidneys, you may
infer that you have lead in your kidneys since the common
element in all 3 items is lead. (You will learn how to specify a
tissue, such as your kidneys, later.)
Using pure chemicals gives you certainty in your results.
You can purchase pure chemicals from chemical supply com-
panies (see Sources). Your pharmacy, a child's chemistry set, a
paint store, or biological supply company can also supply some.
The biggest repository of all toxic substances is the grocery
store and your own home.
You can make test substances out of your hand soap, water
softener salt, and laundry detergent by putting a small amount
(1/16 tsp.) in a ½ ounce glass bottle and adding about 2 tsp. fil-
