1 Instructions for Performing In-Office Lab Tests SALIVARY PH- STATIC MEASUREMENT Testing must be done at least 30 minutes from any food or beverage. 1. Simply place a ph testing strip in the patient s mouth on top of the tongue and ask them to get it good and moist. 2. Lips must remain closed, as clinical readings of salivary ph must not allow exposure of the sample to air, which permits CO2 loss, resulting in an inaccurate, increased ph reading. 3. Immediately after removing the ph strip (reading must be made within 3 seconds) compare the strip with the color code on the box. DR. BIELER S SALIVARY PH ACID CHALLENGE TEST 1. Cut seven 2 strips of ph paper and lay out on paper towel 2. Prepare lemon juice drink: 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of water 3. Have patient make a pool of saliva in mouth and dip half of the strip, remove and measure ph. Record as baseline 4. Have patient drink lemon juice, check ph and start timing Test and record ph every minute for 5 minutes ZINC TASTE TEST 1. Patient s mouth should be free of any strong tastes 2. Patient holds 2 tablespoons of aqueous zinc in their mouth, sloshing it through the mouth

2 3. Start timing and have patient indicate when they taste the solution 4. Have them swallow 5. Ask them to describe the taste Record strength of taste and seconds it took to taste the solution on the Functional Terrain Analysis Form DR. KANE S MINERAL ASSESSMENT TEST 1. Patient s mouth should be free of any strong tastes 2. Pour a small amount of liquid in bottle # 1 into a small cup 3. Patient holds the solution in their mouth, sloshing it around their mouth 4. Patient notes the taste, if any, of the solution. Use the forms that come with the test to accurately document each response. 5. Continue with the other solutions. 6. Record strength of taste for each solution on the Functional Terrain Analysis Form URINE SPECIFIC GRAVITY USING A HYDROMETER 1. Fill urinometer with urine 2. Spin hydrometer in the urine 3. With hydrometer at eye level, read the specific gravity on the hydrometer by reading the bottom of the meniscus. URINE PH USING PH METER 1. Remove protective cap on ph meter 2. Insert ph meter into urine specimen

3 3. Record digital reading 4. Clean ph meter 5. Calibration should take place after every tests URINARY ADRENAL TEST FOR URINARY CHLORIDE 1. Put 10 drops of urine into a small glass vial. 2. Add 1 drop of 20% Potassium Chromate shake to mix. 3. Add 2.9% Silver Nitrate, one drop at a time shake to mix. 4. Record the number of drops it takes to produce a deep brick red color no yellow remaining. URINE CALCIUM TEST 1. Put a dropper full of urine into a disposable glass test tube 2. Add one dropper of Sulkowitch Reagent- shake to mix 3. Wait 60 seconds 4. Observe turbidity: Record CLEAR. if there is little to no discernible fine white precipitate Record LIGHT. if you can see and read black type on a whit page through the vial Record NORMAL. if the black type can be seen but not read through the vial Record HEAVY if the black type cannot be seen through the vial and precipitate rolls in the liquid Record MILKY. if it looks like milk which has been diluted with water

4 URINE SEDIMENT TEST To determine the Total Urine Sediment: CAUTION: Ferric Nitrate will stain yellow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing 1. Add 10 ml of urine to a 15ml graduated centrifuge tube 2. Add 4 drops of 50% Ferric Nitrate solution. DO NOT shake or mix 3. Centrifuge the tube for 30 seconds 4. Pour off the fluid away from the plug of solid matter. 5. Use the wooden end of a cotton applicator stick to level the sediment in the centrifuge tube. 6. Measure the amount (volume) of sediment in ml by visualizing where the sediment would level out rather than averaging the high and low points 7. Record as total volume of the sediment on the Functional Terrain Analysis Form Calcium phosphate sediment: To determine sediment content: 1. Add enough 10% Acetic Acid to equal the amount of sediment shake or stir. 2. Fill to 10 ml with Distilled Water. 3. Centrifuge tube at 3400 rpm for 30 seconds. 4. If sediment completely dissolves, record 100% Calcium Phosphate. 5. If sediment does not completely dissolve, pour off the fluid.

5 6. Measure the remaining sediment. 7. Subtract the remaining sediment measurement from the total sediment recorded above and record this number (in ml) as Calcium Phosphate on the Functional Terrain Analysis Form Total sediment remaining sediment = Calcium phosphate Uric Acid Sediment: 1. Add enough 10% Sodium Hydroxide to equal the amount of sediment remaining in the test tube stir well until color turns red. 2. Fill to 10 ml with Distilled Water. 3. Centrifuge the tube for 30 seconds. 4. If sediment completely dissolves record Uric Acid as the last amount (in ml) of sediment. 5. If sediment does not completely dissolve, pour off the fluid. 6. Measure the remaining sediment. 7. Subtract the remaining sediment from the previous remaining sediment calculated above and record this number (in ml) as Uric Acid on the Functional Terrain Assessment Form Calcium Oxalate sediment: Record the sediment remaining in the test tube as Calcium Oxalate on the Functional Terrain Analysis Form OXIDATA FREE RADICAL TEST 1. Draw urine into the dropper supplied with the test kit 2. Break open the top of the glass ampoule, which contains the reagent 3. Place urine into the ampoule

6 4. Wait five minutes, then interpret the color change from the chart and record the result BOWEL TOXICITY TEST FOR URINARY INDICAN NOTE: Obermeyer s reagent is a strong acid that will cause burns. Wear safety goggles, rubber gloves and protective clothing. Please store away from metal objects, such as metal hinges on storage cabinets as it will corrode them! 1. Pour 5ml of urine into a 15ml graduated test tube 2. Add 5ml of Obermeyer s reagent 3. Seal the centrifuge with parafilm, hold in place with thumb and completely INVERT the tube 8 times to mix 4. Let the test tube sit for at least 5 minutes or until cool 5. Remove parafilm and add 2 ml of chloroform 6. Place a finger cot on a thumb and mix solution by inverting 8 times 7. Allow the chloroform to settle to the bottom. 8. Examine the color in the chloroform layer. A blue color indicates the presence of indican. 9. If the chloroform remains colorless, record Zero in the urinalysis report form. 10. If chloroform is blue add the saturated potassium chlorate solution, a drop at a time, mixing twice after each addition, and record the number of drops necessary to decolorize the chloroform. 11. Record the number of drops of potassium chlorate used to decolorize the blue in the Functional Terrain Assessment Form.

7 IODINE PATCH 1. Paint a 2 inch square patch of 2% solution of iodine onto the patient s abdomen 2. Make sure it is dry before allowing it to come in contact with clothing, because it will stain 3. Note the time of application and have patient record the time when they notice that it has disappeared GASTROTEST FOR DETERMINING STOMACH ph 1. Have patient eat a protein rich meal 2 hours before test. 2. For an ambient ph have patient fast for 8-10 hours. 3. Get patient to swallow a little water to lubricate the throat 4. Swallow the capsule with a little water while the free end is held firmly outside the mouth 5. After capsule has been swallowed patient lies on left side or back on the table for 10 minutes. 6. After 10 minutes get the patient to sit up and with chin raised swiftly remove the string. 7. Lay string on paper and while the string is still moist touch the ph stick to the string starting at the distal end 8. The resultant colors are compared with the ph chart
