THE CURE FOR ALL CANCERS
and so forth. Even if your error is as much as a factor of 2
(100%), you can still get a good idea of what you can measure.
Atomic absorption standards start at exact concentrations; it
is easy to make a more exact dilution series with them. When
testing for iridium chloride by this skin test method, I was able
to detect 3025 molecules!
Troubleshooting:
Always extend your set until you get a negative result (this
should happen by at least bottle #18). If you always “detect”
salt, then you shook the bottle!
Never try to reuse a bottle if you spill when pouring into it.
Get another new bottle.
Sensitivity of Pollutant-In-Product Testing
Get some slides of Salmonellas and Shigellas and find some
milk that tests positive to at least one. Make a dilution series of
the milk up to bottle #14, being careful not to shake the bottles.
Start with 2 drops of milk in bottle #1. Use an eye dropper to
deliver 2 drops to subsequent bottles. Begin testing at bottle
#14, using the slide that tested positive. You will learn to search
by frequency later. My sensitivity was routinely around bottle
#12, for a variety of pathogens. It was the same for toxic ele-
ments starting with standard solutions, about 1000 μg/ml,
showing this method is less sensitive than skin testing.
Lesson Seventeen
Purpose: To test for fluke disease.
A small number of intestinal flukes resident in the intestine
may not give you any noticeable symptoms. Similarly, sheep
liver flukes resident in the liver and pancreatic flukes in the
pancreas may not cause noticeable symptoms. Their eggs are
