The energy patterns of neurotransmitters, peptides, histamine, urea, cholesterol, substance P, complement C7, interferon alpha, etc. 25 vials.
BB1 Acetylcholine/ Ach
At all nerve-muscle junctions as well as many other sites in the nervous system; contraction of skeletal muscles, control of sweat glands and heart beat; transmits messages between neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
Myasthenia gravis and Alzheimer’s disease; nicotine mimics this neurotransmitter.

BB2 Angiotensin I
Converted by angiotensin converting enzyme into angiotensin II; ACE inhibitor drugs work by reducing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

BB3 Angiotensin II
Produced from renin released by kidneys; stimulates thirst; promotes release of aldosterone, which increases the rate of salt and water re-absorption from the kidneys; vasoconstriction of aerioles to increase blood pressure ACE inhibitor drugs work by reducing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

BB4 Bilirubin
Yellow pigment that is one of the end products of hemoglobin breakdown in the liver, spleen and bone marrow and is excreted as a waste material in the bile; associated with jaundice products formed from the breakdown of bilirubin are responsible for the brown colour of stools.

BB5 Bombesin
Stimulates release of gastric and pancreatic hormones; contraction of the smooth muscles in gastric and urinary tract, and in the uterus; can inhibit the secretion of growth hormone; itching and lowered body temperature.

BB6 Cathepsin C
Found in skin and bone cells, activates several of the chemicals controlling local immune and inflammatory responses; gum health; Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome (warty thickened skin, principally on hands and soles of feet; periodontitis and gingivitis).

BB7 Cholesterol
From food and also synthesized in liver; most abundant steroid in animal tissue; synthesis of steroid hormones and bile salts; stabilizing cell membranes.

BB8 Complement C7
Part of non-specific resistance and immunity; enhance allergic and inflammatory reactions; with other complement proteins forms large holes in the microbe, allowing fluid to flow in and the microbe then bursts.

BB9 C-Reactive Protein
Elevated levels indicate an increased risk of heart attack and stroe in the future; necessary for acute stage of inflammation but inappropriate for chronic stage; effective against bacteria, parasites and immune complexes; synthesized by liver.

BB10 Cyclic Adenosine-3’,5’ – monophospate/Cyclic AMP
Formed from ATP by action of adenylate cyclase5; serves as second messenger for some hormones; increase in cAMP causes adipose cells to break down triglycerides and release fatty acids more rapidly; stimulates thyroid cells to secrete more thyroid hormone.

BB11 Cyclic Guanosine-3’,5’ – monophospate/ Cyclic GMP
Mediation of certain hormones and neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, prostaglandins and histamine; involved in light/dark adaptation of the eye.

BB12 Dopamine/Da
In parts of the brain that control subconscious movement of skeletal muscles; regulating muscle tone; increases the efficiency of the heartbeat and helps return the blood pressure to normal; involved in emotional responses; decreased levels associated with Parkinson’s disease; may be involved with schizophrenia, ADD, autism, and La Tourette's syndrome.

BB13 Dynorphin A
In brain and small intestine; may be related to controlling pain and registering emotions.

BB14 Beta Endorphin
In brain, spinal cord, pancreas and testes; control of sensitivity to pain by inhibiting substance P; control of body’s response to stress; regulation of contraction of intestinal wall; affects mood; may also regulate the release of hormones from the pituitary gland; may have a role in memory and learning, sexual activity and control of body temperature; morphine has a similar chemical structure; linked to depression and schizophrenia.

BB15 Histamine
Biogenic amine; in cells, mainly mast cells throughout the body, released during an allergic reaction and inflammation; narrows bronchi in lungs, increases permeability of blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, causes itching and stimulates production of acid in the stomach; secretion of digestive juices; Carl Pfeiffer has suggested too much histamine is involved in some forms of alcoholism. May be implicated in some types of schizophrenia.

BB16 Hyaluronic Acid
Extra-cellular, viscous material that binds cells together, lubricates joints and maintains shape of the eye ball; may help phagocytes migrate through connective tissue during development and wound healing; co-factors are N-acetyl glucosamine and glucuronic acid.

BB17 Hydrochloric Acid
Produced by gastric glands in the stomach to aid protein digestion by preparing proteins for the later stages of digestion; also prevents bacterial growth in the stomach excessive acid production may be stimulated by stress or tobacco smoking.

BB18 Interferon/ alpha-interferon,/ Intron A
Fights infection; made by certain white blood cells; naturally produced by virus-infected host cells that induce unaffected cells to synthesize antiviral proteins and so stops many viruses from replicating within body cells; has been used to treat cancer, immunodeficiency disorders, chronic infection with hepatitis B & C and chronic genital herpes; 2 other types: beta and gamma.

BB19 Myoglobin
Found only in muscle fibres; binds oxygen molecules that are needed for ATP production within mitochondria.

BB20 Pyruvic Acid
A by-product of glycolysis (production of ATP from glucose); may be converted into lactic acid, alanine or oxaloacetic acid.

BB21 Serotonin/ 5-Ht
In parts of the brain, blood platelets, lining of digestive tract; concerned with conscious processes, involved in controlling states of consciousness and mood; sensory perception; temperature regulation; released at site of bleeding to constrict small blood vessels and control blood loss; inhibits gastric secretion and stimulates smooth muscles in the intestinal wall; inducing sleep; inhibits release of prolactin; decreases carbohydrate cravings; provides a feeling of fullness; enhances mood; action in brain disrupted by some hallucinogenic drugs, particularly LSD; excess serotonin implicated in Raynaud’s disease

BB22 Serum Amyloid P Component
Accumulates in extra-cellular spaces of many organs in association with different disease processes; inhibits elastase (enzyme concerned with breakdown of protein); necessary for acute stage of inflammation but inappropriate for chronic stage; removes cholesterol and lipid debris from areas of trauma; causes thickening of connective tissue; implicated in Alzheimer’s disease.

BB23 Substance P
In sensory nerves, spinal cord and parts of brain associated with pain; enhances perception of pain; stimulates motility of the intestines; stimulates saliva production and inflammatory responses in tissues; endorphins inhibit Substance P; counters the effect of certain nerve-damaging chemicals, so may prove useful as treatment for nerve degeneration.

BB24 Transferrin
Protein in blood, transports iron; inhibits the growth of certain bacteria by reducing the amount of available iron.

BB25 Urea
Waste product of the breakdown of proteins; the main nitrogenous constituent of urine; formed in the body from the break down of cell proteins; used in some creams and ointments to moisturise and soften the skin.
Neurotransmitters: chemical released from nerve endings that transmit impulses from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron or to a muscle cell. (BMA Family Health)

Neuropeptides: small proteins consisting of larger molecules than neurotransmitters (BMA Family Health); modulate the response of or to a neurotransmitter.

Second messenger released inside the cell, where hormone-stimulating responses can take place.
