TEST KITS FOR ENERGY WORK<br />
I started making test kits for my own use in 1988. Other students and practitioners became interested<br />
in them, so I started making and selling them to these people. Over the years interest has<br />
grown so that now practitioners in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Israel,<br />
Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA, use them as well as in the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
For people interested in food allergy testing there are three extensive food kits and two food additive<br />
test kits. There is also a food phenolic kit, a fragrance kit and two drinks (alcoholic) kits.<br />
Environmental allergens can cause serious problems for some people and a wide range of these<br />
can be found in three test kits (chemical and inhalant test kit, and industrial and environmental test<br />
kit 1 and 2). Moulds, pollens, animal hair etc. are covered in the two pollens kits. There is also a<br />
dental test kit containing many of the substances used routinely in dental work, and a fragrance kit<br />
which covers some of the most common fragrances used in perfumes, personal care products and<br />
household products.<br />
Some people have problems with vitamins and minerals or with amino acids (the building blocks of<br />
protein). For these people nutritional test kit 1, the common metals test kit, the element test kit and<br />
the amino acid test kit and are likely to be particularly useful.<br />
Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites feature in six complementary test kits, giving a wide range of<br />
invasive organisms. I have found the bacteria test kit particularly appropriate for people who have<br />
serious, long-standing respiratory problems. This test kit includes many organisms that are commensals<br />
of the human body. This means that they are naturally present and are thought normally<br />
not to be harmful. However, for some people this is clearly not the case.<br />
Although hormones, enzymes etc. are naturally occurring in the body, they can produce problems<br />
when the body does not adequately recognize them. This can result in hormonal or enzyme imbalance<br />
and a myriad of health problems. There are several kits relevant for this: hormones, digestive<br />
enzymes and the various body biochemical test kits.<br />
There are two homeopathic test kits and some flower and gem remedy test kits. These provide a<br />
low-cost way of establishing which remedies a client needs to take, and they can also be used as<br />
part of kinesiology procedures too.<br />
There are 17 pathology/histology kits. Please read the comments about their use at the beginning<br />
of the pathology section. There is also a histology kit containing all the healthy tissues from the 17<br />
kits. Please be aware if you buy this kit and then subsequently buy any of the Histology/Pathology<br />
kits you will have a lot of duplicate vials.<br />
The samples are in small glass vials. Glass is preferred because some people test unreliably<br />
through plastic. The Bach flower test kit contains actual samples from one of the producers. The<br />
homeopathic test kits contain 2 tablets from a highly respected U.K. homeopathic supplier (Helios).<br />
These are in the potency 30C. The other samples are prepared radionically in the 30th homeopathic<br />
potency and so have (as far as we know) an indefinite shelf life. The kits come in seal-easy<br />
bags, and plastic boxes are available for storage if wanted.<br />
The range consists of over 60 different kits. New ones are added from time to time as research<br />
and availability allow.<br />
Page 4 Copyright Jane Thurnell Read 2012 Testing Kit Description Manual
The kits come in seal-easy plastic bags. Plastic boxes are available at an extra cost. These can be<br />
ordered at the same time or separately.<br />
Many of the test kits contain energy patterns in brandy and water or just sterile-filtered water made<br />
up in homeopathic potencies generated using a homeopathic simulator. There are three main<br />
reasons for this. Food test kits, amino acids, essential oils etc. have a longer life in this form. The<br />
Maui essences are no longer made. Some of the Body Biochemicals have to kept frozen, when not<br />
in the homeopathic form. The vials are 1-ml glass vials, approximately a third full, ample for testing<br />
purposes.<br />
STORAGE<br />
It is important to store these kits out of direct sunlight, away from strong smells (such as aromatherapy<br />
oils, herbs, etc.). We also recommend that they are stored away from magnets (in practice<br />
this means on opposite sides of the room except when they are being used). However, some<br />
practitioners use magnets in their testing procedures, and so far this has not caused any problem<br />
with the vials.<br />
There are no problems about storing different kits in the same box, although you might want to<br />
organise them in a particular way for other reasons, e.g. it is fine to store bacteria vials and flower<br />
remedies in the same box, although you might want to store all your flower remedies together for<br />
logical reasons.<br />
Some people seem concerned about bacteria, parasite and similar vials in some way ‘contaminating’<br />
other vials, because such vials have a ‘bad’ energy. This concern is completely unnecessary,<br />
and, in fact, labelling test kit vials as containing ‘bad’ or ‘good’ energies does not stand up to any<br />
scrutiny at all. There are many bacteria that are helpful to the human body, e.g. gut bacteria make<br />
some B vitamins and vitamin K; other bacteria help the skin maintain its protective acid mantle.<br />
Homeopathic remedies are often made from lethal substances, e.g. snake venom or a highly toxic<br />
metal. A homeopathic remedy made from a ‘benign’ substance can cause much upset when used<br />
inappropriately. Many flower remedies are made from highly toxic material, e.g. monkshood or<br />
mistletoe.<br />
Perhaps more importantly, viewing vials as ‘bad’ can lead you subconsciously to be nervous of using<br />
these vials, thus depriving clients of the most efficient way to help them.<br />
The energy of these vials should not be viewed as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, but merely as ‘appropriate’ or<br />
inappropriate’ at this time for this person.<br />
Using these test kits over the years has allowed me to work efficiently and effectively helping many<br />
clients to return to good health. I trust that you will have the same experience.<br />

WHICH TEST KITS SHOULD I BUY?<br />
We sell over 60 test kits and, if you bought them all, it would cost you over $5000. Occasionally<br />
people do this, but for most it is not an option. So the question often asked is: Which kits should I<br />
buy first? There’s no single answer to this, but below is some guidance by asking you questions:<br />
Do you have a method for correcting any problems you find?<br />
If not, the first thing I suggest you do is buy the Energy Mismatch book and read that. (To use this<br />
book you need to have some method of testing, e.g. kinesiology or EAV.)<br />
What type of people are you working with?<br />
If the answer is children, you may look at buying Food Additive A, Food Additive B and Vaccination<br />
kits. If you mainly work with women, the best kits to buy are probably Personal Care, Hormones<br />
and Body Biochemicals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.<br />
What interests you?<br />
There are probably lots of different ways to achieve the same results with people, even just thinking<br />
in terms of test kits. So, if you’re fascinated by allergy problems, think about buying Food A, B<br />
and C, Food Additives A and B, Chemical and Inhalants, Industrial and Environmental 1 and 2, and<br />
the Personal Care and Fragrance Kits. (If you can’t afford them all at once, leave Food B and C<br />
till last, as it’s relatively easy to get people to bring these sorts of samples in.) If you’re interested<br />
in ‘bugs’, consider Parasites 1 and 2, Virus, Bacteria and Fungus 1 and 2. If you like working with<br />
flower remedies, check out Maui, and the Earth Energies.<br />
Do you feel that some particular factor is crucial to good health?<br />
If you feel that no matter what the problem, it’s important to get nutrition sorted out, choose Digestive<br />
Enzymes, Nutrition 1 and the Common Metals Kits. If your training and reading emphasise the<br />
importance of Candida, you will probably want to buy the Fungus 1 kit, which has 3 different types<br />
of Candida in it.<br />
Are you drawn to a particular test kit?<br />
Sometimes people say they feel drawn to a particular test kit without being able to explain why. If<br />
you feel this way, it is recommended you buy the kit whatever it is.<br />
Alternatively you could buy the most popular kits. Here’s the top ten favourite kits:<br />
Hormones<br />
Vaccination<br />
Virus<br />
Invasive Organisms<br />
Common Metals<br />
Food Additive Kit A & B<br />
Food Kits A, B & C<br />
Pollens Dust & Moulds 1<br />
Parasites 1<br />
Amino Acids<br />

Amino Acid Test Kit<br />
21 vials<br />
Energy patterns of the 20 main individual amino acids plus one mixed sample.<br />
Amino acids are divided into essential (cannot be manufactured by the body and, therefore, must be taken in<br />
food) and non-essential. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, including human protein.<br />
Other amino acids are in the body biochemical kits.<br />
In nature more than 100 amino acids are found, but only 20 are used in humans. The reason for this is that<br />
these 20 provide all the chemical and size groups needed to make a very large number of proteins. (Once<br />
again nature or God is being economical.) These 20 different amino acids join up in a variety of ways to<br />
make approximately 250,000 different human proteins. The same amino acid can occur many times along a<br />
chain making up a specific protein.<br />
Proteins consist of amino acids that always contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins are<br />
giant molecules made by linking large numbers of amino acids, end to end, so they form a chain.<br />

Bach Flower Test Kit<br />
39 vials<br />
These ever popular flower remedies in a convenient test kit. This kit is not suitable for dispensing purposes.<br />
BF1 Agrimony<br />
The jovial, cheerful, humorous people who love peace and are distressed by argument or quarrels, to avoid<br />
which they will agree to give up much. Though generally they have troubles and are tormented and restless<br />
and worried in mind or in body, they hide their cares behind their humour and jesting and are considered very<br />
good friends to know. They often take alcohol or drugs in excess, to stimulate themselves and help themselves<br />
bear their trials with cheerfulness.<br />
BF2 Aspen<br />
Vague unknown fears, for which there can be given no explanation, no reason. Yet the patient may be terrified<br />
of something terrible going to happen, he knows not what. These vague unexplainable fears may haunt<br />
by night or day. Sufferers are often afraid to tell their trouble to others.<br />
BF3 Beech<br />
For those who feel the need to see more good and beauty in all that surrounds them. And, although much<br />
appears to be wrong, to have the ability to see the good growing within. So as to be able to be more tolerant,<br />
lenient and understanding of the different way each individual and all things are working to their own final<br />
perfection.<br />
BF4 Centuary<br />
Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their endeavours.<br />
Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers. Their good nature<br />
leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they may neglect their own particular<br />
mission in life.<br />
BF5 Cerato<br />
Those who have not sufficient confidence in themselves to make their own decisions. They constantly seek<br />
advice from others, and are often misguided.<br />
BF6 Cherry Plum<br />
Fear of the mind being over-strained, of reason giving way, of doing fearful and dreaded things, not wished<br />
and known wrong, yet there comes the thought and impulse to do them.<br />
BF7 Chestnut Bud<br />
For those who do not take full advantage of observation and experience, and who take a longer time than<br />
others to learn the lessons of daily life. Whereas one experience would be enough for some, such people<br />
find it necessary to have more, sometimes several, before the lesson is learnt. Therefore, to their regret, they<br />
find themselves having to make the same error on different occasions when once would have been enough,<br />
or observation of others could have spared them even that one fault.<br />
BF8 Chicory<br />
Those who are very mindful of the needs of others they tend to be over-full of care for children, relatives, and<br />
friends, always finding something that should be put right. They are continually correcting what they consider<br />
wrong, and enjoy doing so. They desire that those for whom they care should be near them.<br />
BF9 Clematis<br />
Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy in<br />
their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present; living in hopes of happier times,<br />
when their ideals may come true. In illness some make little or no effort to get well, and in certain cases may<br />
even look forward to death, in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again some beloved one whom<br />
they have lost.<br />
BF10 Crab Apple<br />
This is the remedy of cleansing. For those who feel as if they had something not quite clean about themselves.<br />
Often it is something of apparently little importance: in others there may be more serious disease that<br />
is almost disregarded compared to the one thing on which they concentrate. In both types they are anxious<br />
to be free from the one particular thing which is greatest in their minds and which seems so essential to them<br />
that it should be cured. They become despondent if treatment fails. Being a cleanser, this remedy purifies<br />
wounds if the patient has reason to believe that some poison has entered which must be drawn out.<br />
BF11 Elm<br />
Those who are doing good work, are following the calling of their life and who hope to do something of importance,<br />
and this often for the benefit of humanity. At times there may be periods of depression when they<br />
feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, and not within the power of a human being.<br />
Testing Kit Description Manual Copyright Jane Thurnell Read 2012 Page 15
BF12 Gentian<br />
Those who are easily discouraged. They may be progressing well in illness or in the affairs of their daily life,<br />
but any small delay or hindrance to progress causes doubt and soon disheartens them.<br />
BF13 Gorse<br />
Very great hopelessness, they have given up belief that more can be done for them. Under persuasion or to<br />
please others they may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there is so little<br />
hope of relief.<br />
BF14 Heather<br />
Those who are always seeking the companionship of anyone who may be available, as they find it necessary<br />
to discuss their own affairs with others, no matter whom it may be. They are very unhappy if they have to be<br />
alone for any length of time.<br />
BF15 Holly<br />
For those who are sometimes attacked by thoughts of such kind as jealousy, envy revenge, suspicion. For<br />
the different forms of vexation. Within themselves they may suffer much, often when there is no real cause<br />
for their unhappiness.<br />
BF16 Honeysuckle<br />
Those who live much in the past, perhaps a time of great happiness, or memories of a lost friend, or ambitions<br />
which have not come true. They do not expect further happiness such as they have had.<br />
BF17 Hornbeam<br />
For those who feel that they have not sufficient strength, mentally or physically, to carry the burden of life<br />
placed upon them; the affairs of every day seem too much for them to accomplish; though they generally<br />
succeed in fulfilling their task. For those who believe that some part, of mind or body, needs to be strengthened<br />
before they can easily fulfil their work.<br />
BF18 Impatiens<br />
Those who are quick in thought and action and who wish all things to be done without hesitation or delay.<br />
When ill they are anxious for a hasty recovery. They find it very difficult to be patient with people who are<br />
slow, as they consider it wrong and a waste of time. And they will endeavour to make such people quicker in<br />
all ways. They often prefer to work and think alone, so that they can do everything at their own speed.<br />
BF19 Larch<br />
For those who do not consider themselves as good or capable as those around them, who expect failure,<br />
who feel that they will never be a success, and so do not venture or make a strong enough attempt to succeed.<br />
BF20 Mimulus<br />
Fear of worldly things, illness, pain, accidents, poverty, of dark, of being alone, of misfortune. The fears of<br />
everyday life. These people quietly and secretly bear their dread; they do not freely speak of it to others.<br />
BF21 Mustard<br />
Those who are liable to times of gloom, or even despair, as though a cold dark cloud overshadowed them<br />
and hid the light and the joy of life. It may not be possible to give any reason or explanation for such attacks.<br />
Under these conditions it is almost impossible to appear happy or cheerful.<br />
BF22 Oak<br />
For those who are struggling and fighting strongly to get well, or in connection with the affairs of their daily<br />
life. They will go on trying one thing after another, though their case may seem hopeless.<br />
BF23 Olive<br />
Those who have suffered much mentally or physically and so exhausted and weary that they feel they have<br />
no more strength to make any effort. Daily life is hard work for them, without pleasure.<br />
BF24 Pine<br />
For those who blame themselves. Even when successful they think they could have done better, and are<br />
never content with their efforts or the results. They are hard-working and suffer much from the faults they<br />
attach to themselves. Sometimes if there is any mistake it is due to another, but they will claim responsibility<br />
even for that.<br />
BF25 Red Chestnut<br />
For those who find it difficult not to be anxious for other people. Often they have ceased to worry about themselves,<br />
but Rock Rosefor those of whom they are fond they may suffer much, frequently anticipating that<br />
some unfortunate thing may happen to them.<br />
BF26 Rock Rose<br />
The Remedy of emergency. For cases where there even appears no hope. In accident or sudden illness, or<br />
when the patient is very frightened or terrified. If the patient is not conscious the lips may be moistened with<br />
the remedy.<br />
Page 16 Copyright Jane Thurnell Read 2012 Testing Kit Description Manual
BF27 Rock Water<br />
Those who are very strict in their way of living; they deny themselves many of the joys and pleasures of life<br />
because they consider it might interfere with their work. They are hard masters to themselves. They wish<br />
to be well and strong and active, and will do anything that they believe will keep them so. They hope to be<br />
examples that will appeal to others who may then follow their ideas and be better as a result.<br />
BF28 Scleranthus<br />
Those who suffer much from being unable to decide between two things, first one seeming right then the<br />
other. They are usually quiet people, and bear their difficulty alone, often refusing to discuss it with others.<br />
BF29 Star Of Bethlehem<br />
For those in great distress under conditions which for a time produce great unhappiness. The shock of serious<br />
news, the loss of someone dear, the fright following an accident, and such like. For those who for a time<br />
refuse to be consoled, this remedy brings comfort.<br />
BF30 Sweet Chestnut<br />
For those moments which happen to some people when the anguish is so great as to seem to be unbearable.<br />
When the mind or body feels as if it had borne to the uttermost limit of its endurance, and that now it<br />
must give way. When it seems there is nothing but destruction and annihilation left to face.<br />
BF31 Vervain<br />
Those with fixed principles and ideas, which they are confident, are right, and which they very rarely change.<br />
They have a great wish to convert all around them to their own views of life. They are strong of will and have<br />
much courage when they are convinced of those things that they wish to teach. In illness they struggle on<br />
long after many would have given up their duties.<br />
BF32 Vine<br />
Very capable people, certain of their own ability, confident of success. Being so assured, they think that it<br />
would be for the benefit of others if they could be persuaded to do things as they themselves do, or as they<br />
are certain is right. Even in illness they will direct their attendants. They may be of great value in emergency.<br />
BF33 Walnut<br />
For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions are<br />
tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm, convictions or strong opinion<br />
of others. The remedy gives constancy and protection from outside influences.<br />
BF34 Water Violet<br />
For those who in health or illness like to be alone. Very quiet people, who move about without noise, speak<br />
little, and then gently. Very independent, capable and self-reliant. Almost free of the opinions of others. They<br />
are aloof, leave people alone and go their own way. Often clever and talented.<br />
BF35 White Chestnut<br />
For those who cannot prevent thoughts, ideas, arguments which they do not desire from entering their<br />
minds. Usually at such times when the interest of the moment is not strong enough to keep the mind full.<br />
Thoughts that worry and will remain, or if for a time thrown out, will return. They seem to circle round and<br />
round and cause mental torture. The presence of such unpleasant thoughts drives out peace and interferes<br />
with being able to think only of the work or pleasure of the day.<br />
BF36 Wild Oat<br />
Those who have ambitions to do something of prominence in life, who wish to have much experience, and to<br />
enjoy all that which is possible for them, to take life to the full. Their difficulty is to determine what occupation<br />
to follow; as although their ambitions are strong, they have no calling which appeals to them above all others.<br />
This may cause delay and dissatisfaction.<br />
BF37 Wild Rose<br />
Those who without apparently sufficient reason become resigned to all that happens, and just glide through<br />
life, take it as it is, without any effort to improve things and find some joy. They have surrendered to the struggle<br />
of life without complaint.<br />
BF38 Willow<br />
For those who have suffered misfortune and find these difficult to accept, without complaint or resentment,<br />
as they judge life much by the success which it brings. They feel that they have not deserved so great a trial<br />
and they become embittered. They often take less interest in those things of life which they had previously<br />
enjoyed.<br />
BF39 Rescue Remedy<br />
A combination of Cherry Plum, Clematis, Impatiens, Rock Rose, Star of Bethlehem. All purpose emergency<br />
composite for effects of anguish, examinations, going to the dentist, etc. Comforting, calming and reassuring<br />
to those distressed by startling experiences.<br />

Bacteria 1 Test Kit<br />
56 vials<br />
The energy patterns of MRSA, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus pneumoniae and pyrogenes,<br />
mycobacterium tuberculosis, whooping cough, meningitis, escherichia coli, clostridium difficile etc.<br />
Many more of the bacteria associated with Lyme’s disease are available in the Lyme Plus Kit.<br />
Bacteria are abundant in air, soil and water. Some are beneficial (e.g. those living in intestine and breaking<br />
down food) and some are harmless to humans. Bacteria that are harmful are known as pathogens.<br />
Three main categories: cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped) and spirochaetes or spirilla (spiral-shaped).<br />
Bacteria can grow in an inert medium. Susceptible to antibiotics.<br />
Commensal = a bacteria which normally lives in or on the body and is considered medically to be harmless<br />
Nosocomial infection: contracted in hospital<br />
In the popular mind viruses are often seen as being more deadly than bacteria, but most of the most<br />
intransigent illnesses are as a result of bacterial infection.<br />
It is easy to think solely of bacteria in relation to acute infection, food poisoning and respiratory problems,<br />
but bacteria can have much wider implications than that. For example, streptococcus mutans is implicated in<br />
tooth decay, and helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcers.<br />
Some bacteria are beneficial. There are bacteria in the gut that produce some B vitamins and vitamin K.<br />
Some bacteria provide a protective acid mantle on the skin.<br />

Earth Energies Test Kit<br />
7 vials<br />
Balance, comfort, energy and realism, inner wisdom, need, pain and space based on the energies of place,<br />
time, weather and mood developed by Jane Thurnell-Read.<br />
This is a test kit; ESSENCE dispensing bottles are available upon enquiry.<br />
EE1 Balance<br />
For the times when we need more balance in our lives; when we find our energies easily disturbed and drained<br />
by other people and by our environment. Over-sensitivity, fragility and moodiness could indicate a need for this<br />
remedy.<br />
Collected from a rock protruding out into the rushing stream which runs through the magical Trevaylor Woods.<br />
It was a damp and misty day in winter with water dripping from the leaves, ferns and mosses which grew everywhere<br />
in great profusion.<br />
EE2 Comfort<br />
For times when energy and a willingness to persist are hard to find. It brings a feeling of gentle warmth into our<br />
lives. Feeling lost, vulnerable, defenseless and abandoned could indicate a need for this remedy.<br />
Collected at Godrevey, standing on a cliff overlooking the sea. The cliffs were carpeted with blue and yellow<br />
flowers. Although it was early June it was cold and overcast, but the underside of the lower clouds shone with<br />
a promise of better things to come. The sea seemed timeless as the waves broke on the shore. It was early<br />
evening and there were still people about, but they seemed frozen in their activity: two men fishing off one of<br />
the rocks, surfers in the sea and couples sitting in their cars and gazing into the distance.<br />
EE3 Energy & Realism<br />
Gives energy and stamina. It helps to bring realism to our activities, so that tasks can be started and accomplished<br />
in a balanced manner. Both obsessive and unfocussed behaviour become less extreme. Feeling<br />
frantic and indecisive could indicate a need for this remedy.<br />
Collected by perching on a hump of granite, partly surrounded by spring water emerging from rock-strewn<br />
moorland between Bosigran Cliffs and the towering Carn Calver. This was collected on the same day as<br />
“Need”, when the earlier bright skies had clouded over, giving the wind even more bite.<br />
EE4 Inner Wisdom<br />
For times when we are lacking discernment and discipline in our lives. We may feel that life is chaotic and<br />
uncertain, even while we present an air of power, wisdom and competence to others. The inner life does not<br />
correspond with the outer world’s perception. Often our energy levels will appear to others to be high, but this<br />
mirage is maintained at great cost to ourselves.<br />
Collected from a wide fissure in a massive rock outcrop on the north coast of Cornwall between Zennor and<br />
Morvah. It was a cold, bright day. From this place high on the cliffs, the long Atlantic swells could be seen and<br />
heard breaking over the rocks below, and gulls soared over the cliffs.<br />
EE5 Need<br />
Helping us to distinguish between needs and wants; it gives the quiet security that our needs will be met. Feelings<br />
of jealousy, frustration, disappointment, insecurity, fearfulness and an inability to settle and be still could<br />
indicate a need for this remedy.<br />
Collected from a partly ruinous stone circle on Bosporthennis Moor to the west of Mulfra Hill. It is thought by<br />
some to be the remains of a hut circle rather than a true stone circle, but has a great feeling of “rightness”. The<br />
bright sunshine failed to warm the bitter March wind blasting across the moor.<br />
EE6 Pain<br />
For pain, bewilderment and a sense of isolation, when even feeling these emotions seems to demand too<br />
much energy. Feelings of weakness and helplessness could indicate a need for this remedy.<br />
Collected from the seaward end of the Cot Valley. The valley is steep sided and rocky, opening to the sea between<br />
high cliffs where the stream runs into a small cove famed for its smoothly rounded boulders. On a day of seemingly<br />
interminable rain, with the land shrouded in mist, when we arrived to collect this energy the sky lightened<br />
and rain stopped. I had established several days before that the new essence would be called “Pain” and, as I<br />
climbed up towards the site, I was feeling it, having squashed my toe under a door the previous day. The place I<br />
wanted turned out to be a craggy point overlooking the Brisons Rock, where the swell heaved and broke fitfully.<br />
EE7 Space<br />
For times when we need physical, emotional, mental or spiritual space. When things press in on us so that<br />
we cannot think clearly or see our way forward, this essence helps to create the possibility for much needed<br />
change. It helps us to find vision and continuity within our roots. Feeling overwhelmed or inadequate could<br />
indicate a need for this remedy.<br />
This essence was collected from high on the sides of Carn Calver. A strong wind blustered off the wide Atlantic<br />
to the west and open moorland stretched to distant carns on the other sides. The area was strewn with lumps<br />
of granite tumbled from the summit like some giant’s toy building blocks. A great weather-sculpted slab of rock<br />
provided the focus of the energy.<br />

Electromagnetic Test Kit<br />
14 vials<br />
Electrical and electro-magnetic frequencies, including mobile phones, television emissions,<br />
high voltage electricity, ELFs, etc.<br />
EM01 Computer Monitor / Visual Display Unit Emissions<br />
EM02 Electricity<br />
EM03 Electricity High Voltage<br />
The way electricity is transported from power stations to sub-stations near populations. This reduces the<br />
amount of energy lost in long-distance transmission.<br />
EM04 Electro-Magnetic Field<br />
The field can be viewed as the combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is<br />
produced by stationary charges, and the magnetic field by moving charges (currents); these two are often<br />
described as the sources of the field. Any device connected to an electrical outlet, even if the device is not<br />
switched on, will have an associated electric field.<br />
EM05 Extremely Low Frequency Radiation (ELF)<br />
ELF fields are defined as those having frequencies up to 300 Hz. Emitted by power lines, electrical wiring<br />
and common appliances (e.g. electric blankets, televisions, hair-dryers, computers, etc.). Naturally occurring<br />
ELF fields are associated with atmospheric processes such as ionospheric currents, thunderstorms and lightning.<br />
EM06 Fluorescent Light<br />
EM07 Microwave 750 MHz<br />
Used for telecommunications and heating food. Able to pass through many things including human body.<br />
EM08 Mobile Phone 900 MHz<br />
EM09 Mobile Phone 1200 MHz<br />
EM10 Mobile Phone 1800 MHz<br />
EM11 Mobile Phone Mast G3<br />
EM12 Satellite Television Radio Waves (UK)<br />
Radio waves, despite their name, are used for television transmissions.<br />
EM13 Tetra Mast Radiation<br />
Terrestrial Trunked Radio (formerly known as Trans-European Trunked Radio). TETRA was specifically<br />
designed for use by government agencies, emergency services, (police forces, fire departments, ambulance)<br />
for public safety networks, rail transportation staff for train radios, transport services and the military. Used by<br />
countries in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Caribbean and Latin America.<br />

Food - Milk & Milk Substitutes<br />
18 vials<br />
Many people have problems with regular cow’s milk. Some of these may be able to tolerate one of the three<br />
alternative cow’s milks<br />
1. unpasteurised milk/raw milk<br />
2. organic cow’s milk<br />
3. lactose-free milk<br />
4. A2 milk (not available in some countries); most cows now produce A1 protein in their milk. Historically it<br />
was A2 protein that was more common<br />
Many of the milk substitutes are made by several different manufacturers and may contain different additional<br />
ingredients. So testing a milk substitute vial can only act as a guide to suitability because a milk vial<br />
may test as suitable, but be unsuitable from a specific manufacturer because of additional ingredients (e.g.<br />
emulsifiers, sweeteners, etc.)<br />
Or<br />
A milk vial may test as unsuitable, but this is because of additional ingredients included by some manufacturer.<br />
It may be wise to do some general testing using this test kit and then ask your client to bring in a specific<br />
brand for testing.<br />

Fragrance Test Kit<br />
27 vials<br />
The energy patterns of synthetic fragrances used in perfumes, personal care products<br />
and household products.<br />
Exposure to perfume occurs not only because of perfume the person uses themselves, but also those used<br />
by other people, and encountered in shops and household products.<br />
It is easy to think of perfumes as only being used in perfumes, air fresheners and similar products, but perfumes<br />
(often a mixture of many different synthetic products) are added to a whole range of products: cosmetics,<br />
personal care products, detergents and household cleaning agents, etc.<br />
The finished product will not necessarily have a strong smell, because the perfume may have been added to<br />
disguise the unpleasant smell of active ingredients, e.g. in hair dyes.<br />
Many chemicals used as fragrances are also used as flavourings in food, drink and medicines.<br />
95% of chemicals used in fragrances are synthetic compounds derived from petroleum. Although natural<br />
sources of some of the chemicals are listed below this does not mean that industrial production is normally<br />
from natural sources.<br />

Interleukins Test Kit<br />
12 vials<br />
Interleukins are substances that are normally produced by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in<br />
the body and help the immune system fight infection and cancer.<br />
IL01 Interleukin-1<br />
Stimulates the growth and action of immune system cells that fight disease, by participating in the regulation<br />
of immune responses, inflammatory reactions, and hematopoiesis (development of mature blood cells). Also<br />
helps leukocytes pass through blood vessel walls to sites of infection and causes fever by affecting areas of<br />
the brain that control body temperature.<br />
IL02 Interleukin-2<br />
Induces the proliferation of responsive T-cells, and acts on some B-cells, via receptor-specific binding, as a<br />
growth factor and antibody production stimulant. Linked to pruritus (itching).<br />
IL03 Interleukin-3<br />
Regulates blood-cell production by controlling the production, differentiation and function of granulocytes and<br />
macrophages, so enhances the immune system’s ability to fight tumor cells.<br />
IL04 Interleukin-4<br />
Enhances the immune system’s ability to fight tumor cells; has an important function in B-cell responses. A<br />
key regulator in humoral and adaptive immunity.<br />
IL05 Interleukin-5 / Eosinophil Differentiation Factor/ EDF<br />
Regulates eosinophil growth and activation, and thus plays an important role in diseases associated with<br />
increased levels of eosinophils, including asthma and allergic rhinitis.<br />
IL06 Interleukin-6 / B-Cell Stimulatory Factor-2 /BSF-2<br />
A biomarker for inflammation and chronic disease. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells<br />
into IG-secreting cells, as well as inducing myeloma/plasmacytoma growth, nerve cell differentiation, and, in<br />
hepatocytes, acute-phase reactants. Involved in diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression Alzheimer’s disease,<br />
systemic lupus erythematosus, prostate cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.<br />
IL07 Interleukin-7<br />
Enhances the immune system’s ability to fight tumor cells. IL-7 is made by cells in the bone marrow, and can<br />
stimulate T cells and B cells to grow. Promotes acute lymphoblastic leukemia, T cell lymphoma. Elevated<br />
levels of IL-7 have also been detected in the plasma of HIV-infected patients<br />
IL08 Interleukin-8 / Neutrophil Chemotactic Factor<br />
Induces chemotaxis in target cells, primarily neutrophils but also other granulocytes, causing them to migrate<br />
toward the site of infection. Also induces phagocytosis once they have arrived. Known to be a potent promoter<br />
of angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels from existing ones, and necessary for tumours to grow).<br />
Often associated with inflammation (e.g. in gingivitis and psoriasis). If a pregnant mother has high levels,<br />
there is an increased risk of schizophrenia in her offspring. High levels have also been shown to reduce the<br />
likelihood of positive responses to antipsychotic medication in schizophrenia.<br />
IL09 Interleukin-9<br />
Serves as a growth factor for early lymphoid cells of both B- and T-cell lineages. supports IL-2 independent<br />
and IL-4 independent growth of helper T-cells.<br />
IL10 Interleukin-10 / Human Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor/ CSIF<br />
Inhibits the synthesis of a number of cytokines, including IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-3, TNF, and GM-CSF produced<br />
by activated macrophages and by helper T cells. Mice studies suggest it is an essential immuno-regulator<br />
in the intestinal tract.; may be relevant in Crohn’s disease.<br />
IL11 Interleukin-11 / Adipogenesis Inhibitory Factor / AGIF<br />
Stimulates megakaryocytopoiesis, resulting in increased production of platelets, as well as activating osteoclasts,<br />
inhibiting epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis, and inhibiting macrophage mediator production.<br />
May reduce toxicity to the gastrointestinal system resulting from cancer therapy.<br />
IL12 Interleukin-12<br />
Enhances the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor.<br />
involved in the stimulation and maintenance of Th1 cellular immune responses, including the normal host<br />
defence against various intracellular pathogens, such as Leishmania, Toxoplasma, Measles virus, and HIV.<br />
Also has an important role in pathological Th1 responses, such as in inflammatory bowel disease and multiple<br />
sclerosis. Administration of IL-12 to people suffering from autoimmune diseases was shown to worsen<br />
the autoimmune phenomena. This is believed to be due to its key role in induction of Th1 immune responses.<br />

Invasive Organisms Test Kit<br />
8 vials<br />
Vials representing the essential energy pattern of bacteria, viruses, internal parasites,<br />
each group composited in one vial.<br />
The starting point for these vials was the individual organisms listed overleaf, but each vial<br />
represents more than just the sum total of these organisms: they represent the essential<br />
energy pattern of each category.<br />
Bacteria:<br />
Abundant in air, soil and water. Some are beneficial ( e.g. those living in intestine and breaking down food)<br />
and some are harmless to humans. Bacteria which are harmful are known as pathogens. Three main categories:<br />
cocci (spherical), bacilli (rod-shaped) and spirochaetes or spirilla (spiral-shaped). Bacteria can grow in<br />
an inert medium. Susceptible to antibiotics.<br />
Chlamydia:<br />
Micro-organisms which are intermediate in size between viruses and bacteria; like viruses they can only<br />
multiply by first invading the cells of another life-form; otherwise more like bacteria and are susceptible to<br />
antibiotics.<br />
Fungus:<br />
Simple parasitic life forms which cause illness by direct poisoning, toxic by-products, allergic reactions and/or<br />
colonisation of body tissues. Fungi can be divided into moulds which reproduce by sporing and yeasts which<br />
reproduce by budding.<br />
Parasite:<br />
Any organism living in or on any other living creature and deriving advantage from doing so, while causing<br />
disadvantage to the host. Internal parasites are commonly acquired by eating contaminated meat, swallowing<br />
eggs on food, contaminating fingers with faecal material or through contact with infected water. Scolex is<br />
the part of the tapeworm attached by suckers and hooks to gut wall of host; sometimes called head. Proglottides<br />
is the segment-like units of the tapeworm body which, when mature, leave the gut of the primary host in<br />
the faeces; they are budded off from the scolex.<br />
The life stages of the roundworm: egg larva adult<br />
The life stages of the tapeworm: egg larva encased by body in a cyst adult<br />
The life stages of the fluke: egg miracidia redia cercaria metacercaria adult<br />
Protozoa:<br />
The simplest, most primitive type of animal, consisting of a single cell. Resistant to antibiotics.<br />
Rickettsia:<br />
A type of parasitic micro-organism. They resemble bacteria but are only able to replicate by invading the cells<br />
of another life form; rickettsiae are parasites of ticks, lice, etc. These animals can transmit the rickettsiae to<br />
humans via their bite or contaminated faeces.<br />
Viruses:<br />
The smallest known type of infective agent. Outside of living cells viruses are inert. They invade living cells,<br />
take them over and make copies of themselves. Not susceptible to antibiotics.<br />

Mycotoxins Test Kit<br />
27 vials<br />
Mycotoxins are produced by molds. One mold species may produce many different mycotoxins, and the<br />
same mycotoxin may be produced by several species.<br />
Mycotoxins have the potential for both acute and chronic health effects via ingestion, skin contact, and<br />
inhalation. These toxins can enter the blood stream and the lymphatic system. They inhibit protein synthesis,<br />
damage macrophage systems, inhibit particle clearance of the lung, and increase sensitivity to bacterial<br />
endotoxin.<br />
There is evidence that they can cause cancers, kidney damage, gastrointestinal disturbances, reproductive<br />
disorders and suppression of the immune system.<br />

Pathology & Histology Test Kits<br />
There are some omissions from these test kits. This is usually because a suitable sample was not<br />
available from which to make the test vials.<br />
These kits are not intended for diagnosis of medical conditions.<br />
Testing may indicate a vial for various reasons:<br />
1. A diseased tissue may be indicated, even though the disease is not present, because the test<br />
kits do not contain a suitable example of a healthy tissue<br />
2. A vial may be indicated, not because it is wanted in its entirety, but because it contains a particular<br />
cell or cells, e.g. there are various types of epithelium (the lining of organs etc), so testing<br />
may indicate a particular organ, not because that organ is in any way defective, but because the<br />
sample contains a particular type of epithelium tissue<br />
3. The exact match is not available, so the energy system is choosing the nearest match<br />
4. A chronic disease vial may be indicated, not because the person has that disease but because<br />
they have the miasm / inherited taint represented by the chronic disease, e.g. the tubercular<br />
and syphilitic miasms are well known among homeopaths; these do not indicate the presence of<br />
the disease, but indicate a chronic tendency to manifest particular symptoms: the person with a<br />
tubercular miasm is always nervous and tired; the person with the syphilitic miasm tends to be<br />
sulky, depressed and stupid, with problems with teeth and bones, etc. (Consult homeopathic texts<br />
for more information on this. A Study Course In Homeopathy by Phyllis Speight offers an excellent<br />
introduction to this fascinating topic.)<br />

Weight Test Kit<br />
38 vials<br />
This kit draws together vials that are spread across other kits. There are no vials which are unique to<br />
this kit. They include hormones, enzymes, amino acids, etc. that affect metabolism, blood glucose levels,<br />
gastric emptying and appetite control. Vials include insulin, glycogen, T4, T3, reverse T3, leptin,<br />
neuropeptide Y, carnitine, etc. 38 vials<br />
The information here just focusses on the role of these in blood sugar control, appetite management and<br />
metabolism.<br />
WT01 Anandamide<br />
May increase appetite.<br />
WT02 Arginine<br />
An amino acid. Involved with glucose control mechanism in blood; enhances fat metabolism; involved in<br />
insulin production; stimulates human growth hormone.<br />
WT03 Carnitine<br />
An amino acid. Major role in transferring fatty acids into cells where used as energy sources; mobilising fatty<br />
deposits in obesity.<br />
WT04 CART<br />
Modulates the action of leptin and neuropeptide Y and so reduces appetite.<br />
WT05 CCK / Cholecystokinin<br />
Stimulates a feeling of satiety; may regulate feeding as a “stop eating” signal.<br />
WT06 Corticotropin Releasing Hormone / CRH<br />
Involved in the regulation of food intake.<br />
WT07 Cortisol / Hydrocortisone<br />
The principal gluccocorticoid; increases blood glucose levels by increasing cellular utilisation of proteins and<br />
fats as energy sources thus conserving glucose; stimulates liver cells to produce glucose from amino acids<br />
and fats.<br />
WT08 Cylic AMP / Cyclic Adenosine-3’,5’ - Monophospate<br />
Causes adipose cells to break down triglycerides and release fatty acids more rapidly; stimulates thyroid<br />
cells to secrete more thyroid hormone.<br />
WT09 Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV<br />
Arrests biological activity of GLP1 and Substance P.<br />
WT10 Epinephrine/ Adrenaline<br />
Slows digestion, increases blood sugar.<br />
WT11 Exendin (9-39)<br />
Reduces glucose levels; competes for the same brain receptors as GLP1 and so blocks the effect of GLP1<br />
and stimulates appetite.<br />
WT12 Galanin<br />
Stimulates the appetite.<br />
WT13 Ghrelin<br />
Increases appetite; may be a hormonal link between stomach, hypothalamus and pituitary and so regulate<br />
energy balance; regulates growth hormone secretions; may signal to the hypothalamus when an increase in<br />
metabolic efficiency is necessary.<br />
WT14 Glucagon<br />
Raises blood sugar levels by accelerating breakdown of glycogen into glucose in the liver, converting other<br />
nutrients into glucose in the liver, and releasing glucose into the blood – opposes the action of insulin.<br />
WT15 Glucagon-Like Peptide 1/GLP1<br />
Stimulates production of insulin; inhibits production of glucagon and gastric emptying; reduces appetite; lowers<br />
blood glucose in people with diabetes.<br />
WT16 Glucocorticoids<br />
Conversion of non-carbohydrates into energy.<br />
Page 154 Copyright Jane Thurnell Read 2012 Testing Kit Description Manual
WT17 Glycogen<br />
The principal carbohydrate storage material in the body; plays an important role in controlling blood sugar<br />
levels.<br />
WT18 Glycogen Phosphorylase A<br />
Involved in converting glycogen to glucose.<br />
WT19 Glycogen Synthase<br />
Involved in converting glucose to glycogen.<br />
WT20 Growth Hormone Inhibiting Hormone / Somatostatin<br />
Inhibits secretion of insulin and glucagons and slows absorption of nutrients from the gastro-intestinal tract.<br />
WT21 Human Growth Hormone / Somatotropin<br />
Helps to maintain muscle and bone mass and promote healing of injuries and tissue repair; speeds up the<br />
breakdown of liver glycogen into glucose; excess production may cause diabetes mellitus.<br />
WT22 Insulin<br />
Decreases blood sugar levels.<br />
WT23 Leptin<br />
Released by fat cells as they synthesise triglycerides; reduces appetite; non-insulin dependent diabetes.<br />
WT24 Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone / MSH<br />
Suppresses appetite.<br />
WT25 Neuromedin B<br />
Involved in blood glucose control; suppresses the appetite.<br />
WT26 Neuropeptide Y<br />
Stimulates appetite; causes increased storage of ingested food as fat; reduces energy expenditure.<br />
WT27 Orexin B<br />
Generated when blood sugar levels drop, so acting as a trigger to eat.<br />
WT28 Pheylalanine<br />
An amino acid. Precursor of tyrosine and therefore dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine<br />
(adrenaline), so affects blood sugar levels and fat metabolism; necessary for thyroid; involved in weight<br />
control.<br />
WT29 Prostaglandin E2 / PGE2<br />
Acts on adenylate cyclase to enhance the production of cyclic AMP.<br />
WT30 Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase / PTP1B<br />
Inhibits signaling of leptin and insulin1; may explain resistance to leptin and insulin; likely to be important in<br />
obesity and type 2 diabetes; drug research now being carried out to find drugs to inhibit PTP1B.<br />
WT31 Reverse T3 / 3,3’,5’-Triiodothyronine<br />
Reverse T3 and T3 are secreted in an inverse relationship allowing the thyroid to adjust the amount of thyroid<br />
activity; blocks the action of T3 by binding with the receptor sites.<br />
WT32 Serotonin<br />
Decreases carbohydrate cravings; provides a feeling of fullness; enhances mood.<br />
WT33 Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone / TSH<br />
Stimulates thyroid gland to produce its hormones.<br />
WT34 Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone / TRH<br />
Stimulates anterior pituitary to secrete TSH.<br />
WT35 Thyroxine / Tetraiodothyronine / T4<br />
Converted into T3; increase rate at which cells release energy from carbohydrates.<br />
WT36 Triiodothyronine/T3<br />
Regulates metabolism by stimulating carbohydrate and fat breakdown.<br />
WT37 Urocortin<br />
Inhibits appetite.<br />
WT38 Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg<br />
Research on rats indicates that this is an appetite suppressant.<br />

Immunoglobulin Test Kit<br />
5 vials<br />
The five immunoglobulin or antibodies involved in the immune system....<br />
Immunoglobulin (Ig), also known as an antibody (Ab), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that<br />
is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. The<br />
antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, called an antigen. Each tip of the “Y” of an antibody<br />
contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly<br />
analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this<br />
binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune<br />
system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for<br />
its invasion and survival). The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system.<br />
IG 01 IgA<br />
Found in mucosal areas, such as the gut, respiratory tract and urogenital tract, and prevents colonization<br />
by pathogens. Also found in saliva, tears, and breast milk.<br />
IG 02 IgD<br />
Functions mainly as an antigen receptor on B cells that have not been exposed to antigens. Has<br />
been shown to activate basophils and mast cells to produce antimicrobial factors.<br />
IG 03 IgE<br />
Binds to allergens and triggers histamine release from mast cells and basophils, and is involved in<br />
allergy. Also protects against parasitic worms.<br />
IG 04 IgG<br />
Provides the majority of antibody-based immunity against invading pathogens. The only antibody<br />
capable of crossing the placenta to give passive immunity to the foetus.<br />
IG 05 IgM<br />
Eliminates pathogens in the early stages of B cell mediated (humoral) immunity before there is sufficient<br />
IgG.<br />
