Bio-Terrain Testing

What is Biological Terrain?
The origins of "biological terrain" can be traced to the work of French professor Louis Claude Vincent. By looking at the parameters of pH (Acidity vs. Alkalinity), free radical activity (Oxidation), and the mineral status in the body, he was able to give important insight into the health of the human "soil" (body fluids). Just as a farmer needs healthy soil to grow crops, we need a balance in our own soil to achieve optimal health and function.

In Chinese medicine there is a theory called "the root vs. the branch." If one treats the root they will always affect the leaves and the branch. Biological terrain addresses the soil in which the root rests. If the soil is good and healthy, the root will draw the right nutrients and become balanced. In the same manner, if our body's soil is healthy and balanced, we will be free and better prepared to deal with the effects of chronic imbalances.

The Integra Bio-Terrain™ System
With this system, nutritional supplements and dietary recommendations can be objectively targeted for faster and more effective results. The progress of an individual can also be accurately tracked to monitor the success of the treatment and help direct the course of action to full health.

This unique approach is being used successfully by medical doctors, acupuncturists, and other healthcare providers who realize the benefits of accurate nutritional targeting for the patients. This testing system provides a reliable picture of the nutritional and biological terrain of the body and can be easily performed in the office.

Each test provides a piece of the puzzle, which viewed collectively, presents important clues about the underlying nutritional causes blocking health and vitality.
