Electro-Dermal Screening

Based on both eastern and western medicine this technology is an extremely accurate approach to objective analysis (1) and prescribing incorporating the traditional science of acupuncture (non-invasive) with advanced electronic technologies (2).

​

The health of the individual is determined by “measuring” distal acupuncture point resistance (on either the hands or feet) that correlates to different body and organ functions (3)(4)(1). This screening specifies deviations from normal function (1), being either acute or chronic in nature. This allows us to pinpoint specific system weaknesses that can then be screened for any substance (5) that may be effecting the individual, 

    Foods (1)(6)
    Allergens ie. Animal fur, pollens, dust mites etc. (7)(8)(1)
    Chemicals. ie. cosmetic, agricultural, industrial and household
    Pathogens, ie. Viruses, bacteria, fungal & parasites etc. (5)
    Hormones (1)
    Galvanic activity of Amalgam fillings (1)
    Other heavy metal toxicologies, ie lead and cadmium (1)

​

Utilized in European medical practice for over 35 years this system provides not only important information of each individual (9), it is used to determine the suitability and dosage of naturopathic and homeopathic medicines to strengthen weakness and alleviate condition symptoms (1), with a focus towards prevention (3).
