In chronic disease the biphasic lipid defense is off-balance. The off-balance actually is likely evident before or well before diagnoses are made. An off-balance is either an excess of fatty acid activity, an excess of anti-fatty acid activity or excesses of both. The effects of an off-balance are enormous, too numerous to list here. They range from calcium deficiency and calcium depositions in soft tissue (think coronary arteries) to autonomic dysfunction (think Parkinson’s), NAFLD (subclinical liver disease the BTE has been heralded for decades) and CVD.
The Health Equations Blood Test Evaluation (BTE) evaluates the ‘collateral damage’ of a lipid defense gone awry. The BTE recommends supplements, diet and lifestyle to address the off- balance and its damages, often in conjunction with therapeutic lipids.
The first inspiration for the BTE began in the 1970’s when I traveled to southern CA to meet Jacque Delangre, the Frenchman who brought Celtic Sea Salt to the US from Normandy, France. I learned plasma has a concentration of salt and other ions that is remarkably similar to sea water; and, studies early last century in Europe administering IV concentrated sea water demonstrated remarkable benefits for severe diseases. Then I observed salt deficiency contributes to fatigue, viral infections, a catabolic off-balance and hypotension, even hypertension. While common commercial salts contain 97% sodium chloride and three percent processing chemicals, Celtic Sea Salt is 84% sodium chloride, the remainder being sixty-plus trace minerals.
I designed an electrolyte product with Celtic Sea Salt to restore the charge on cell membranes. The more robust this charge the greater cell function, cancer cells having the lowest charge. The Hydration Index on the BTE is a ‘measure’ of this charge, lacking in chronic disease due to the electrolyte imbalances caused by the lipid defense off-balance. Over the decades and over 30,000 BTE’s later, although the electrolyte product does not necessarily elevate a low HX, continuous use of CSS EP if HX is low, has enormous reported clinical benefits without any unwanted effects.

The other inspiration for the BTE came from my years biologically farming. Biological farming is organic farming AND ADDITIONALLY focuses on restoration of the soil microbiome. As it turns out, not surprisingly, a healthy soil microbiome is the essential missing KEY for human health!!!
The best ‘measure’ of the soil microbiome is a soil chromatograph: a picture of microbiome activity. The picture is developed on dried filter paper previously soaked in an aqueous solution of soil, using chemicals and procedures similar to those to develop photographs. The differences in the pictures of fertile and infertile soils are very evident to everyone.
The BTE likewise is a picture of the body’s chemistry. Each result of a chemistry profile, CBC and lipid panel is seen in context of the whole. Currently we view lab results line by line or a few lines at a time. However, if all enzymes of liver function are normal we would falsely conclude the liver is okay unless we also factor in the hydration and protein indices. Water and sufficient protein, along with rest, are the three primary nutrients for liver function.
To further illustrate the effects of an off-balance in the lipid defense: high tissue cholesterol causes loss of chloride in the urine. The resulting hypochlorhydria decreases stomach acid, acid crucial to digest proteins. Thus the off-balance in the lipid defense explains how a person with normal intake of protein will show a protein deficit, a low Protein Index on the BTE...
