Food-N-Zymes: 2 V-Caps with raw meals; 4 with cooked meals; helps digestion and rebuild enzyme depletion due to eating cooked food; combine with minerals to form an alkaline detoxification agent.

Papaya Enzymes: Break proteins down into amino acids in any pH in the stomach; especially important for people who do not produce sufficient stomach pepsin and HCl, which is virtually all people over age 30.

(Liquid) Co-Enzymes Minerals: Taste horrible for most people! Dilute in juice!! Gas and diarrhea are normal cleaning reactions. Have turned some people's teeth dark or black, apparently due to liquid minerals coming in contact with teeth; may have special energetic healing properties due to special processing; ~38 cents per oz., if a case of 4 bottles are purchased, as of 8/02; daily maintenance: ~4 oz. per day. Saturation before having points held: 1 oz. per 10 pounds of body weight per day, or more.

(V-Caps) Co-Enzyme Minerals: No taste (don't bite!); significantly cheaper than taking the liquid minerals, ~20.3 cents per oz., if a case of 4 bottles are purchased, as of 8/02; apparently avoids turning teeth black because they do not contact teeth directly; may have special energetic healing properties due to special processing. One V-cap is equal to approximately 1.38 oz. of the liquid minerals.

Outstanding cassettes by the late Dr. John Ray; start with the Health and Human Mind series and the Healing Crisis series.

Grainfields/AGM Foods: Australia; [617] 3396 2866; http://www.agmfoods.com/ Just started selling products at wholesale prices; shipping to U.S. can be expensive.

B.E. Wholegrain Liquid is one of the best probitoic foods in the world; Wholegrain Powder, with pre-digested nutrients, is also outstanding. Enthusiastically promoted by Douglas Morrison (see below); used by many people in Body Electronics.

Silverado Nutritionals: 150 S. State St., Orem, Utah, 84058; (800) 887-4583. http://www.wholesale-supplements.biz/.

Silverado Minerals: Liquid has virtually no taste; ~28.1 cents per oz.; gas and diarrhea are normal cleansing reactions; effect on teeth unknown; work excellent with B.E. pointholding. Quantity same as Co-Enzyme Minerals above.

Blue-green algae (BGA) : One of the most complete foods on the planet; contains the highest amount of neural peptides; allows faster and deeper processing in B.E. pointholding sessions. Due to BGA's extremely high protein content, taking Enzymes International's Papaya papain enzymes (see above) with the BGA is recommended. E3Live (http://www.e3live.com) and CellTech (http://www.celltech.com) brands are very good.

Teeth Blotting Technique/Dr. J. E. Phillips; International Oral Health Society, P. O. Box 1968, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 54702. (715) 839-9103; (www.iohs.info ---- link not working on May 11, 2005)

Dr. Phillips created a special "wicking" toothbrush and a special teeth and gums cleaning technique called blotting. Inexpensive and effective. Order the excellent Blotting Technique video and booklet so you can learn how to do blotting (and other procedures) correctly; the small instruction pamphlet that comes with the Blotting Toothbrush is not sufficient.
