The Food Additives test set: sixty ampoules in one tableau, carrying 253 registered food additives grouped by E number. Antioxidants, flavour enhancers such as the glutamates, emulsifiers, colourants by colour, preservatives from sorbates and benzoates to sulphites and nitrites, acids and acidity regulators, sweeteners including aspartame and the polyols, anti-caking and glazing agents, and thickeners from alginates to modified starches, with one further ampoule for E 605 (parathion). All ampoules test with Ai. Full tableau and E number list below.

What is in the set

Sixty ampoules in one tableau, carrying 253 registered food additives between them. Each ampoule holds a group of related E numbers, so a whole family of preservatives or colourants is tested in one go. The groups follow the additive classes on a food label: antioxidants, flavour enhancers, emulsifiers, colourants, preservatives, acids, sweeteners, anti-caking and glazing agents, and thickeners. One further ampoule carries E 605, the insecticide parathion.

  • 60 ampoules in one tableau
  • 253 food additives, listed by E number below
  • 9 additive classes, colour-coded on the tableau
  • 1 ampoule of E 605 (parathion)
  • FA 001 to FA 060 reference numbers

What this kit is for

This is a strain kit in the Combined Test Technique for additives in food. Because each ampoule carries a group, a resonance points first to a family, such as the sulphite preservatives or the azo colourants, which can then be compared with the labels of what the person eats. Ampoules that show a common resonance may be used together.

The manufacturer’s guide carries notes on how each class is used and how it may be tolerated. That material is not reproduced here, and this kit is not a test for allergy or intolerance.

Testing

The ampoule under test goes in the input cup of the BICOM® device, or in a honeycomb, against a grasping electrode or through the infrared transmitter. Testing can be done with the tensor, by kinesiology or by EAP.

Ampoules Program
All 60 ampoules Ai, 191 or 197

On the digitised version the automatic mode does not switch between A 192 and Ai 191 for you: the manufacturer is explicit that the test mode has to be checked and set by hand each time you change test kits. Ampoules can also be tested one at a time with “Test single substance”.

Therapy sequence

The manufacturer’s sequence, with amplification and time tested at every step rather than assumed.

Step Patient connection Input cup Program
1. Basic therapy Input and output Patient secretions or excretions where used Basic program
2. Follow-up programs Input and output As above Therapy blocks, elimination organs, meridian or indication programs
3. Pathogenic strain Output only The tested ampoule(s) from this kit Ai, 191 or 197
4. Stabilising Output only Priority element, meridian and pink strain ampoules from the 5 Functional Circuits set, then an attenuation ampoule if it tests positive A, 192 or 198

The manufacturer also suggests transferring the information of the stabilising step onto BICOM chips, minerals or oil.

Working with other sets

The stabilising step goes back to the 5 Functional Circuits set for the priority element, meridian and strain ampoules. Agricultural chemicals such as insecticides, fungicides and glyphosate are in the Environmental Loads and Parasites kit, and a wider range of chemical and metal loads in the Environmental Toxins kit.

On the ampoule names

The ampoule labels and the grouping of additives are the manufacturer’s, published so that the contents of the set are accurate and complete. They are not statements by this shop about the safety of any additive.

Nothing on this page is a claim that this kit prevents, detects, treats or reverses any allergy, intolerance or condition, or that it is an alternative to medical advice. Anyone with a suspected food reaction should see a doctor.

Before you order

  • BICOM® multisoft pilot. Required for the digitised set. The automatic mode does not set the test mode for you.
  • A BICOM® device. Tested and used as a CTT set.
  • Trained practitioners. Supplied for use by practitioners trained in the BICOM® method.

Ampoule names, layout, additive groups and programme notes are drawn from the manufacturer’s product documentation for the Food Additives test kit (Regumed). We make no claim as to therapeutic effect.
