QFA
"Quantitative Fluid Assessment"

Your Biological Terrain is the interstitial fluid that nourishes the 100 trillion cells in your body. In addition to delivering electrolytes, minerals, enzymes, vitamins, hormones and water to the cells, the Biological Terrain also transports the substances and waste products that the cells release. These substances enter the blood, urine, lymphatic fluid and saliva for proper utilization and disposal by the body.

Specific values of the urine and saliva may provide valuable information about the biochemical building blocks of your body—your enzymes, amino acids, minerals and electrons. This information may help identify underlying factors or stresses that may be contributing to low energy and lack of vitality and well-being.

A QFA™ or Biological Terrain Assessment^TM involves the monitoring of your saliva and urine for pH, redox and resistivity. These parameters may provide valuable information about your body’s cells and the interstitial environment called the Biological Terrain that nourishes those cells.

Following a 12-hour fast, first morning urine and saliva specimens are obtained. The QFA-S100^TM device then assesses these fluids. Results are obtained within minutes, offering you valuable information. This data may increase your understanding of your specific biochemical requirements. This information may help you to choose a diet and nutritional program that best suits your particular needs.

Your QFA™ analysis measures the values of pH, redox and resistivity. These measurements may offer valuable information about the electrons, minerals, hydration and nutrients in your Biological Terrain environment. Because your biochemistry is unique, these values may help your clinician design the nutritional program that is best suited for your particular needs. A QFA™ test does not diagnose an illness or disease. It monitors specific parameters of your Biological Terrain.

Your pH measurement will indicate the acidity or alkalinity of your biological fluids. Specific pH levels are necessary for optimum digestion and absorption of foods, activation of enzymes and binding of hormones with their receptor sites.

Your redox measurement may provide data regarding the level of electrons in your fluids. Electrons are essential for life. Long-term exposure to such factors as chronic stress, poor diets, environmental toxins, chemicals and damaging organisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi may interfere with the cells’ abilities to produce the substances needed for electron and ATP production.

Your resistivity results involve the measurement of minerals in your fluids. Minerals are needed for many critical actions and reactions in the body, as well as for building and maintaining bone and muscle tissue. When fluids become congested with too many minerals, stagnation and congestion may occur which may limit the cells’ abilities to function optimally. Too few minerals in the fluids may interfere with the body’s ability to maintain its bone and muscle function.
