EDS (Electro-Dermal Screening)

Background

A revolution in health care was begun in the late 1940’s by a German medical doctor, Reinhard Voll.  While studying the Chinese meridian system, he reasoned that if acupuncture theory was correct and channels of energy did flow along channels throughout the body, there should be a way to measure it when it came to the skin’s surface at various points along the way.  He constructed a device using an ohmmeter and a blunt brass probe which, when placed on an acupuncture point, measured the skin’s ability to conduct this energy, similar to a lie detector.

In his research, Dr. Voll discovered that energy passing through acupuncture points on the hands and feet fell within a certain range if the associated organ or tissue was healthy.  A reading outside this range indicated a disturbance in the functioning of the structure.  He also discovered that homeopathic medicines placed in the proximity of the patient could change the energy readings. In the ensuing 50 years, Voll’s basic design has been continually improved and refined. 

contemporary use

Today, Electro-Dermal Screening can provide an incredible amount of information about a person’s health quickly and non-invasively, in a cost-effective manner.  Coupled with a computer data base, an instrument can evaluate the body for dysfunctional structures, related compromises and possible cures from over 25,000 entries.

Not only can pathogens be identified, but toxic chemicals, heavy metals, allergens and emotional influences can as well.  By re-checking an abnormal reading when a vitamin, mineral or homeopathic, herbal or flower remedy is added to the circuit, a corrective can be identified.  The technology is also used to select substances such as dental materials and prescription medications most compatible for the individual.

Used widely in Europe and by over 100,000 practitioners worldwide, EDS is based on principles of modern physics, quantum mechanics and traditional energetic medicine.  It is the most modern and comprehensive healthcare methodology available today.

Benefits

Electro Dermal Screening (EDS) is used to conduct a comprehensive body stress assessment and to determine appropriate ways to achieve healthy energetic balance.  The first step in this process is to measure electrical conductivity at responsive points on the skin, typically on the hands and feet.  (The locations of the test points are generally the same as those of acupuncture points.)  These measurements are recorded to help provide a profile of a patient’s present condition.

According to European medical research, acupuncture points are related to your body’s organs and organ systems.  As a patient moves toward or away from health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be sensed at representative points.

Electro Dermal Screening may be used to screen:

• All the systems, organs and functions of the body
• For allergies and sensitivities to foods, plants, animals, environments, inhalants and most anything we meet in our daily life.
• Imbalances in nutritional products such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, EFAs proteins, hormones, etc.
• The quality of teeth, dental conditions, dental materials and compatible products
• Sensitivity or a weakness to heavy metals, toxic products and pollutants, such as herbicides, pesticides and insecticides
• For parasites, fungus, yeast, candida, bacteria, viruses, vaccines, and miasms.
