Body Fluid Specimens
Each of these fluids should be prepared by putting about ¼tsp. in a ½ oz amber glass bottle. Add about 2 tsp. filtered water
and ¼ tsp. grain alcohol for preservation. Undiluted specimens
do not work for reasons that are technical and beyond the scope
of this book. It is important not to shake the specimen, but to mix
gently.
Urine. It is desired to have a pure, uninfected urine sample as
a tissue specimen. Since this cannot be proved with certainty,
obtain several urine samples from different persons
whom you believe to be healthy and make several test
specimens in order to compare results. Label your specimens
Urine A (child), Urine B (woman), Urine C (mine),
and so forth.
Semen. A sample from a condom is adequate. Aged specimens
(sent by mail, unpreserved and unrefrigerated) work
well also. Use one to ten drops or scrape a small amount
with a plastic knife.
Blood. One to ten drops of blood should be used. Clotted or
chemically treated blood is satisfactory. A blood smear on
a slide is very convenient.
Milk. Cow's milk is too polluted with parasites to be useful.
Electronically, a dead specimen is equivalent to a live
specimen, so that pasteurization of the milk does not help.
A human milk specimen is preferred.
Saliva. Use your own, if you have deparasitized yourself and
test negative to various fluke stages. Otherwise find a well
friend or child.
Specifying a tissue is the most powerful investigative
technique in your arsenal. Any of your tissue samples can be
tested for any of your toxic substances.
