Biological Terrain Assessment Values Illustrate Binding Properties of Silicates
Another property of silica minerals is that they readily bind with other silica molecules, and numerous elements and transport them. Due to the secondary conductivity layer these elements and others found in glacier waters are particularly trapped and bonded within the silica water interface and are slowly released (Keller 1978).
Biological Terrain Assessment measures the pH and resistivity (1/conductivity) or conductive electrolytes in the blood and urine. A reduction/oxidation value is obtained also in relationship to the pH of the fluid. These parameters are measured in the body fluids, blood, saliva and urine as an indicator of how diet or lifestyle changes effects the internal milieu. Biological Terrain Assessment was established as a physiological approach to observe nutritional status or disease conditions due to effects on observed changes in body fluids. The terrain or environment of the cells and tissues is very important to their health and function. A Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA) 2000 analyzer showed that 7 subjects receiving 4 Microhydrin® /day for 3 weeks showed more optimal resistivity (I/conductivity) values in both the blood and the urine. Both blood and urine resistivity values showed statistically

significant {p< 0.05) changes as compared to baseline values before beginning the supplementation program. Saliva resistivity values showed a strong trend as well (p<0.08). Mineral balance effects osmotic pressure in cells and numerous structures depend on elements (conductive minerals).
To the BTA clinician optimal mineral or resistivity values in the blood and urine signify mineral balance. Excessive minerals in the diet can create disturbance to the

kidney. The kidney has a limited capacity for filtering and recycling minerals. Excessive and continuous filtration of high concentrations of minerals in the diet are often characteristic of normal or premature aging and of several pathological conditions. On the other hand, too few minerals in the body can indicate a state of demineralization whereby the body compensates by utilizing structural minerals from bone tissue. Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA) values contribute knowledge as to what is occurring in the body as diets and conditions change. BTA

values showed marked shifts towards more optimal mineral balance after supplementation with Microhydrin®.
A trend was also noticed in the pH of urine in the seven subjects receiving Microhydrin® indicating more optimal, less acidic values. Urine pH values are often affected, by diabetes and cystitis as both conditions make the urine more acidic. As Microhydrin® has a pH of 9.5 to 10 when added to water it was of interest to observe the noticeable trend in alkalinizing the pH of the urine. Alkaline
diets often can effect the pH of urine and Microhydrin® appeared to have this effect on the biological terrain.  Urine pH
