How long do the BD preps Reagents last?
We ask broadcaster owners to update their reagents at least annually. The cost is $200 plus shipping. This not because the patterns in the vials wear out. Each reagent package is tuned to the specific needs of the location. In one location the energies balance one way, and in a different location they are different. So even though the appropriate potencies seem to trend to 30c the sequencing may change from dry conditions to wet and from warm to cool. If using colour as a reagent, the appropriate colour may change. In trying to treat a farm with pattern energy to achieve balance, changes take place and the old program will not be as appropriate in a year or so. However there are many who report excellent results with reagents being updated only every three years. If you see things lagging please call us an we will recommend the next step. As with a homeopathic medicine regime, uncover new needs occur over the years.
