Basal Temperature Study for the Thyroid Function
The basal temperature test is quite accurate when the temperature is tested in the axilla (armpit) each morning for a period of four days. If the temperature is consistently low, then there is a hypo (under function) of the thyroid gland, in spite of what a laboratory analysis indicates. The temperature should be taken immediately upon awakening with the thermometer held snuggly in the axilla (armpit) for a full ten minutes. Be sure to record each reading accurately. It is your accuracy that determines the value of the test.
How To Take Your Own Basal Temperatures
At night, before retiring, shake down a thermometer and lay it beside your bed, on your night table or chair.
Note: Traditional mercury thermometers may not be easy to find, and digital thermometers may be your only option. In this case, locate a basal digital thermometer (typically located with birth control/fertility supplies).
Next morning, on awakening, do not get up or move around. Place the thermometer under your armpit pressing your arm against your bare body. Relax and leave it there for ten minutes by the clock. Take it out, read, and write down your results.
This record of your early morning basal temperature is a great aid to you in determining hypothyroidism.
One of the most important issues of hypothyroidism is calcium utilization and metabolism issues.
Normal Basal Temperature Reading is between:
36.5° - 36.8° Celcius or
97.8° - 98.2° Fahrenheit
Kidney Filtration Study
When the Kidneys Do Not Filter
Your kidneys are the main eliminative organs for your body’s lymphatic (sewer) system. When your kidneys lose their ability to filter the cellular wastes (acids) out of your body, they back up just as sewage from any other sewer system would. This “backup” of acids is called INFLAMMATION. From this point forward, pain is a reality, as well as swelling and the destruction of the respective tissues. Pimples, boils, cysts, and tumours begin to form. The frightening thing is that this inflammation becomes systemic, affecting you from head to toe!
Cancer cells are simply cells damaged by their own acid wastes. Cancer is not an entity that can travel to other tissues (cells) and magically turn them into cancer cells. However, the acid condition that leads to this cell damage is systemic.
Does Your Urine Look Like This?
Check your urine occasionally. This is done simply by peeing in a jar and observing. It can be done any time of day.
It doesn’t matter if the sediment looks like snowflakes, strings, or a general cloudiness.
The more sediment, the more lymphatic waste your body is filtering out!
Â
Sediment = sewage! So we want to see sediments in our urine; this indicates that our kidneys are filtering properly.

Urine and Saliva Acidity Study
Check the pH of your saliva and urine with pH test strips. You can find this in pharmacies, internet or Amazon through this link.
For reference:
Ideal urine pH range is 6.0-6.5
Ideal saliva pH range is 6.3-6.6
PS: for saliva, do the test 2 hours away from food.
