HOW TO TEST YOURSELF
Titanium: purchase a titanium drill bit from a hardware
store.
Toluene: a tube of glue that lists toluene as an ingredient.
Tungsten: the filament in a burned out light bulb.
Urethane: a piece of plastic foam from new furniture or
packaging material.(This will also contain formaldehyde.)
Vanadium: hold a piece of dampened paper towel over a gas
stove burner as it is turned on. Cut a bit of this paper into
your specimen bottle and add 2 tsp. filtered water.
Xylene: paint store or pharmacy.
Zearalenone: combine leftover crumbs of three kinds of
corn chips and three kinds of popcorn.This list gets you off to a good start. Since few of these
specimens are pure, there is a degree of logic that you must ap-
ply in most cases. If you are testing for barium in your breast, a
positive result would mean that a barium-containing lip stick
tests positive and a barium-free lip stick is negative.
A chemistry set for hobbyists is a wonderful addition to
your collection of test specimens. Remember, however, the as-
sumptions and errors in such a system. A test for silver using
silver chloride might be negative. This does not mean there is
no silver present in your body; it only means there is no silver
chloride present in the tissue you tested. You are bound to miss
some toxins; don't let this discourage you. There is more than
enough that you can find.
The most fruitful kind of testing is, probably, the use of
household products themselves as test substances. The soaps,
colognes, mouthwash, toothpaste, shampoo, cosmetics, breads,
dairy products, juices and cereals can all be made into test
specimens. Put about 1/8 tsp. of the product in a small glass
bottle, add 2 tsp. filtered water and ¼ tsp. grain alcohol to pre-
serve it. If you test positive to these, then you shouldn't use
them, even if you can not identify the exact toxin or pathogen.
