Toxic Elements
Although not living, solvents and toxins must exhibit characteristic frequencies, otherwise how could the Syncrometer detect specific ones? This needs further exploration.
Most of the toxic elements I use are metals, heavy metals and lanthanides. But some are not; examples are PCBs and formaldehyde.
Some important elements are missing, like iron, zinc and manganese. This is because I never could find them present in the white blood cells, and I finally gave up searching for them.
Below is a list of the 70 or so toxic elements I use. Most of them were obtained as Atomic Absorption standard solutions and are, therefore, very pure. This prevents mistakes in identifying a toxin. They were stored in bounce amber glass bottles with bakelite caps and permanently sealed with plastic film since testing did not require them to be opened (they get close enough to the frequency field). The exact concentration and the solubility characteristics are not important in this qualitative test. The main sources of these substances in our environment are given beside each item.

Solvents
This is a list of all the solvents I use together with the main source of them in our environment. These are chemicals, very pure, obtained from chemical supply companies, unless otherwise stated. Those marked with an asterisk (*) were the subject of a recent book The Neurotoxicity of Solvents by Peter Arlien- Soburg, 1992, CRC Press.
