pH Saliva and Urine Test Paper
Body pH is critical because pH controls the speed of our body’s biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of enzyme activity and how electricity moves through our bodies. The higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore, electricity travels slower with higher pH. If we say something has an acid pH, it is hot and fast. Alkaline pH, on the other hand, biochemically speaking, is slow and calm.

Zinc Status Test
Zinc is responsible for over 50 co-enzyme reactions in our bodies. That means it keeps many-body circuits, our biochemistry, running smoothly. Zinc is an essential co-factor of the immune system, healing, and sexual hormone system.

Iodine Fulfillment Test
Total Body Iodine Fulfillments or Sufficiency can finally resolve challenging, stubborn problems that resist all other treatments. Called Orthoiodo-supplementation, this nutritional approach employs elemental iodine supplements until the thyroid gland, and all other iodine-sensitive sites in the body have reached iodine sufficiency.

Eldon Blood Typing Kit
This kit comes complete with everything you need, including instructions, finger lancet, alcohol prep, plastic applicator sticks, and testing card. Performing the test is easy.
After first cleaning with the supplied alcohol prep pad, the index or middle finger is lanced with the sterile disposable lancet. You turn your hand downward, and a drop of blood is placed on top of each of the four sticks. The sticks are then applied to the card and stirred for two minutes. The results are then read from the card. The total time to results is less than five minutes. Single-use test.

Basal Body Temperature
Basal body temperature monitors fluctuations in a woman’s monthly cycle and determines how well the thyroid is working. Historically, one of the most consistent ways of assessing one’s thyroid function is by checking body temperature because this reflects the thyroid’s influence on the body’s metabolic rate.1 A basal body temperature that is consistently less than 97.8° F over one month may indicate low thyroid function. Other tests, primarily blood tests, have been developed to check thyroid function. However, these values may come back normal even though symptoms of hypothyroidism are present.

Yeast Saliva Spit Test
The yeast test is a do-it-yourself test to determine a possible overgrowth of fungus. The functional tests look at your first-morning spit. A positive sign with this useful medicine lab test shows overgrowth of fungus and should be discussed with Dr. Brown for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
