Cell Debris (albumin) & Ureas (Nitrates & ammonia)

Chapter 8.4 and 8.5

A serializing of Befriending Your Biology; Physical Health from the Inside Out. Available on Kindle now. USBA stands for “urine-saliva biomarker testing,” a new name given to the original method of Dr. Carey Reams.

Cell Debris (albumin)

Fifth number — Cell Debris, “Formerly called the albumin number” (Beddoe). Albumen, is the term used for the solid particles in the urine; also known as, particulate matter, cells being thrown out through the urine.

“Cell Debris” is not the same as current use of “albumen.” “Cell Debris” is more broad. In typical Reams fashion, the term assumes nothing about observed debris. Cell debris simply observes and records what is not clear liquid, unquestionably insoluble substances.

Would you like to know how many dying and dead cells inside you are being replaced with new healthy cells; and, how fast? This is what the Albumen-cell-debris measure tells.

This is probably the most ancient of the R7 tests. Urine has been examined without any equipment and with the five senses for millennia.

Unfortunately no biomarker yet known measures cell debris directly. Reams believed visual examination of urine in a glass jar, with a penlight flashlight, was the best source of a number for this. See Human Nutrition 117–120 for diagrams and explanation.

The cells in your body are constantly dying and being replaced. God does not deal in used parts. When cells die, a large per-cent of them are removed from the body through the urine. For a person in perfect health, this should not exceed 40,000 parts of cellular debris per liter of urine. If we are aging too fast, our cells are breaking down prematurely and the cellular debris found in our urine will increase.

.04M (40,000 cellular particles per liter). Reveals how well the body is cooperating in replacing worn-out cells in the healing-rebuilding process, one of the last numbers to come into balance.

The amount of dead cells being eliminated should ideally be a constant number. So on the other hand, if the body is eliminating too many cells, the body is changing cells too quickly, and thus aging too fast.

[[Beddoe: “In the number .04M, the ‘M’ is a roman numeral standing for the number 1,000,000.” Beddoe has “M” as one million. As I recall Reams intended to measure parts per million. But Google says M = 1,000. MM = one-million.

[[This next part is therefore not right either: Beddoe: In the number .04M means 40,000 particles per liter or urine.]]

Manual measure of cell debris

Reams showed interest in the simplest observation possible: Either the body was deleting dead and dying cells or it was not. <4M = “less than 4M”

He believed if Cell Debris reading was less than 4M, the body was unable to cooperate with deleting dead and dying cells and replacing them.

For urine containers, glass, never plastic. Precise visual determination is facilitated by an ordinary penlight flashlight. Hold the light behind the glass container so the light shines thru the urine to your eye.

At 4M the penlight is unobstructed Straw color is not considered an obstruction. The other extreme is the penlight light can not be seen at all when shining thru the urine. This is 4M+++. 4m+ and 4M++ are between these two extremes. Unknown to lay persons, some urine can appear with orange color and the consistency of thick orange juice. The 4M+++ +++ numbers are used to represent direct observation of these more disordered urines.

No instrument beyond a penlight flashlight is required for measuring Albumin…. Hold a bottle of fresh urine to a strong light source… The Urine should be CLEAR light Yellow with a FEW visible Particles easily seen…. If many particles throughout the Urine, or a cloudy masses, this reveals the body is TOXIC and may be in NEED of immediate cleansing… These particles and masses are carcinoma cells… FOAM in the Urine indicates too little water is being consumed.

.04 M is two particles per drop of urine. Direct observation perceives this as absolutely clear, like water. Color of .04 water then comes from foods eaten and drunk, not from cell debris. 4M also appears clear yet has color to it. Beddoe page 120 has a very clear chart of how to visually inspect and parameters to watch for.

Beddoe p. 117–120 was used for the above

Notes from RBTI Facebook group ~ “Challen always told me to watch my urine to watch my sugar levels. Dark urine usually indicates high sugar. Clear urine is very low sugar.”

Response from Jason Bailey: “Yes, color indicates lots but nothing the numbers don’t prove so go by the numbers. If you don’t, someday you’ll have a beer juice drinker who will scare you to death lol!”

Ureas (Nitrates & ammonia)

More detail on the Seven Numbers 5of5

Sixth number — Nitrates (protein in) Urea of 3 reveals a very low urine concentration of nitrate.

Seventh number — Ammonium (protein out)

Nitrate Nitrates
_____________
Ammonia Nitrates

These two numbers tell how well protein is being broken down in your small intestine. The Urea Number represents the amount of unused amino acids (protein) which then has to be broken down by the liver into urea, to be removed from the body, though the kidneys.

Imbalanced numbers may tell us of pressure on your heart and lymphatic systems. Low or high urea numbers indicate the body is overloaded; and/or, may not be able to detoxify effectively. Urea numbers are a key to your body’s need for potassium.

Common physical warning signs of high ureas include: Fatigue after a normal amount of sleep… DEEP forehead wrinkles from tiredness tension.

Before we get more technical, let’s discuss phenomena students are already familiar with.

Vegetarianism as a cleaning regime

Many people change from a meat and carbs diet to an all vegetable and grains diet. After a few weeks, they experience benefits. Then, because of blood type and biological individuality, long-term benefits vary greatly person to person. Why?

If you were a meat-eater, an all-vegetable and grains diet lowers your ureas dramatically. If your ureas were high, if you had a beer belly or love handles from stored ureas, eating plants will allow the body to gradually release the wastes it was unable to. You were generating more new ureas faster than the body could get rid of them.

This is why we say, for many people, vegetarianism is healthy — for a while.

Ureas and body odor

Research is close to proving increased body odor correlates with increased ureas; and possibly, increased secondarily by high salts. This is one of many research projects USBA faculty hope to complete soon.

“Unclean Foods”

Urea numbers can also test HIGH from eating what the Bible labels as “Unclean Foods” (i.e. swine, rabbit, fish with skin not scales)…. These foods digest too quickly for the body to cope; thus leading TOO MUCH Urea waste protein entering the bloodstream, overloading the Kidneys and overstimulating the heart muscle… HIGH Ureas can be a cause of sudden death in athletes.

How does the body make ammonia?

Ammonia, also known as NH3, is a waste product made by your body during the digestion of protein. Normally, ammonia is processed in the liver, where it is changed into another waste product called urea. Urea is passed through the body in urine.

Nitrogen Urea (NN) of 3 reveals old cells are being replaced normally. Amonium nitrogen (AN) of 3 reveals the body is not overwhelmed with toxicity.

These numbers written as:

NN
___
AN

The two urea numbers are added together for a total ureas number.

Total ureas represent the total amount of un-used protein sent to the kidneys for elimination. In the Reams-Manthei Anatomy 1 class, when NN dropped lower than the AN, it is believed new cells are not being made, the body is struggling to make new cells.

When ureas are less than 12 for a normal weight person, and 15 for an overweight person, this suggests Potassium deficiency.

When ureas are higher than 12 for a normal weight person, and 15 for an overweight person, high urea points to the possibility the heart muscle is beating — not too fast — but TOO HARD.

NN is more important than AN. Why? AN is a sulphate and less of a heart stimulant. NN nitrate is more of a stimulant (Beddoe p. 42). “High NN makes the heart beat too hard” ~ p. 166 Challen #395 In Challen’s OHGYWENeed (2000, 2007). A high NN number indicates your upper body is under pressure and will benefit from intervention.

When there is a 3 or more digit gap in the urea numbers, higher nitrate nitrogen with lower ammonia nitrogen numbers, indicate a vitamin A deficiency. Conversely, when there is a 3 or more digit gap in the numbers, lower nitrate nitrogen numbers with higher ammonia nitrogen numbers, indicate a potassium deficiency — (reorganized, revised from Beddoe p. 42)

Plus: Common Sense ~ Don’t leave home without it. You can fool yourself. Your patrons also like to fool you.

Q: What if I have optimal numbers?

A: If fresh test result numbers reveal the above optimal values, the game is to continue monitoring, keep the person in the A Range.

When fresh test result numbers reveal disturbed numbers, the game is to make recommendations, informed by the disordered numbers, about experiments with diet, lifestyle and supplements, likely to move numbers to the A Range. See also “Moving the pH” in a later chapter in the Table of Contents.
