BASAL METABOLISM (2) — Term from SntMaster Dictionary

BASAL METABOLISM (2)

ScnMaster

the basic chemical change in the body between oxygen and fuel. The basal metabolism test is done on the E-Meter by having the preclear take a deep breath, hold it for just a moment and then let it out through his mouth. When the sufficiently fed and rested preclear takes in oxygen, it combines with the fuel and you will see a surge of physical energy on the meter. The needle will give a fall. For further information on basal metabolism, read the book E-Meter Essentials by L. Ron Hubbard. —Dianetics 55! Glossary (app 9.7.90)
