The Science of Cellular Environment

The science of Biological Terrain involves the study of cells in the human body and the interstitial fluid environment that nourishes thoes cells. Biological Terrain clinicians closly monitor the cellular environment through assesing urine and saliva. Specific values within these biological fluids  offer valuable information that may help identify the underlying factors that may be contributing to cellular stress.

Dr. Claude Bernard, a French physiologist, developed the theory of Biological Terrain over 100 yrs ago. He believed that most illness was caused by imbalances in the body's interstitial cellular environment that he called the "Milieu Interior" or Biological Terrain. It was his belief that disturbances in the cellular environment affected the integrity of the body's cells. This, in turn compromised the immune system's ability to fight disease and maintain health. This theory later developed into the science that we know today as the Biological Terrain.

In the years since Dr. Bernard introduced his theory, the concept of Biological Terrain has become widly accepted and reputable form of science recognized by researchers and health care practioners all over the world. Its biochemical and nutrional concepts have extensive application for all types of research and health care assesment.
