EAV: The Physician’s Guide

What would you think if you could diagnose viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, mold, all allergens, homeopathic remedies with proper dilution and manufacture them, toxic chemicals, heavy metals, sick teeth, radiation, damaged vertebrae, drug and supplement compatibility, organ weakness, disease presence, pharmaceuticals, hormones, vaccinations, water contaminants, foods, implant materials, dental materials, habit drugs, Bach Flower Remedies, and much more using an EAV (electroacupuncture according to Voll) device in a few minutes? You might say, “Bah, humbug!” as I did when I first saw Yiwen Tang, MD, utilize the Dermatron in San Francisco in 1975. He was a student of Bill Kho, MD, from Las Vegas, who was a student of Reinhold Voll, developer of the technology in Germany in the late 1940s. This technology is also called transdermal screening or MSA (meridian stress assessment).

I was slow to learn the technology until I was exposed to the Vega device in the late 1980s by Scott Moyer of Santa Rosa, California; it wasn’t until I met Andreas Marx, an acupuncturist and naturopath from Germany in a seminar in Denver in 1989, that I could begin getting yes/no answers from the Vega using a Kramer probe. Dr. Kramer also developed EAV. Marx taught for Voll and Kramer. The probe has a small dot in the middle and for me it was like learning to ride a bicycle: I could do it immediately.

The probe is placed on acupuncture points on the fingers and toes and can test their strengths and weakness. At first, testing of remedies was done by placing vials of homeopathic remedies, Sanum isopathic remedies, herbals, vitamins, and nutrients in wells on the Vega machine. Vega is manufactured in the Black Forest in Germany. Before computers, complex wells of testing banks could be mechanically linked for ease of testing.

BioMeridian Computerized EAV

In the 1990s, I was introduced to the BioMeridian MSAS (meridian stress assessment system) by Duane Davis. At first I just used it for remedy compatibility testing. I say “just” because it has taken me all these years to become comfortable with the vast array of testing topics available on the computer. Not to denigrate remedy compatibility testing because those of us who treat the very sensitive, highly allergic, multiple chemical sensitivity, paradoxical reactors need some kind of testing, be it EAV or muscle testing to determine what these patients can tolerate without severe reactions. Some of my doctor friends say, “I don’t need to do any of that kind of testing; my clinical judgment is good enough.” I can tell you that it is not good enough. Blowing up a sensitive patient – or any patient – is poor medicine. Even great therapies such as chelation, IV vitamin C, or ozone therapy are not at tolerated by all patients. If you don’t test, you don’t know. I test every patient on every new treatment every visit, and I am often surprised. Even with good compatibility testing, a patient’s body can decide that it doesn’t like something 4 or 5 days into therapy. It pays to be extremely flexible.

Homeopathic Remedy Selection

The BioMeridian has all of classical homeopathy on it. Some would say that you are manipulating the machine with your mind. I think it is important to think about the remedy when you are testing it and I am corrected in my choice of remedy frequently. For example, when the high-strung, adrenal-burnout female presents to me, I might think, a-ha, she is Argentum nitricum – and it tests negatively. Then I think for sure she must be Arsenicum album, and again it tests negatively. Well, then, she is very sympathetic; let’s try Causticum, and the computer agrees. Then how should we dose her? Try the 6C; no, 12C; no, 30C; no, 200C; yes. In a month she may test for 1M or be done with the remedy.

When I test for homeopathics, I look for an indicator drop that gives the correct remedy. When the proper dilution is found, the indicator tests strong and resonates well with the patient with no indicator drop. I can’t imagine practicing homeopathy without some kind of feedback regarding the correct remedy and the correct dose.

I only use three acupuncture ting points: on the lateral aspect of the ring finger (triple warmer), middle finger (allergy), and index finger (autonomic nervous system). All of the meridians can be tested, of course, but I find that using the three points works well for me and is much quicker. I take the indicator up to 50 and wait for the indicator drop, which indicates weakness. There are many other ways to use EAV.

Lyme, Viruses, Bacteria

Many believe that Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi) is much more common than usually thought, and I agree. When patients present with a plethora of symptoms and negative lab values and radiology, I frequently find Borrelia on my BioMeridian. After many years of testing, I have great trust in it. Lyme is notoriously false negative to lab testing. I treat it with antibiotics and herbs after Lee Cowden, MD. We clear Lyme in about 1 month if it is not too deeply entrenched. Viruses turn up frequently, as do bacteria. I can ask whether it is staph or strep and treat accordingly with drugs or Sanum isopathic remedies and IVs of C or ozone.

Parasites

It seems that lab evaluation of parasites has deteriorated. We send stool samples to reputable labs, and the results come back, “Parasites found, taxonomy unknown.” Don’t you love it? I find that amoebae, Ascaris lumbricoides, cestodes (tapeworms), pork worms (Trichinella spiralis), and others turn up very frequently on the BioMeridian. With therapy, I test on the machine whether the patient responds to tinidazole, Alinia, albendazole, other antiparasitical drugs, or herbal preparations. After treatment, the patient responds negatively to testing or needs another parasite medication to clear them.

Teeth

Of all the hidden causes of pathology in humans, bad teeth are very common. The German biological dentistry people can give you reams of information about toxic, infected root canals (corpse in the attic, the tooth is dead and frequently infected giving off many biological poisons interfering with cellular metabolism) and improperly removed wisdom teeth: dentists sometimes neglect to remove the periodontal ligament that holds the tooth to the bone; the bone then thinks that the tooth is still there and doesn’t heal the cavity where the missing tooth was, which can create a chronic infection whose toxins permeates the whole body. If you haven’t seen how the teeth are related to distant sites in the body, it is important to look at these relationships in a German tooth chart. Many chronic disabilities, including hypertension, cancer, and prostate disease, are related to bad teeth. Unfortunately, these tooth issues frequently don’t show up on routine dental X-rays and can be found with CT scans of the maxilla and mandible and by Cavitat, an ultrasound evaluation of bone, which is an excellent test but hard to find.

When I first started measuring teeth on the BioMeridian, I was my usual skeptical self. However, I started asking the patients about root canalled teeth, and sure enough they tested negatively. Also when I looked in the computer for dental nosodes, chronic bacterial ostitis appeared. We treat the bad teeth with ozonized coconut oil swabs next to the infected teeth 20 minutes per day in the buccal gutter next to the tooth. I also inject neural therapy procaine with Arthrokelan A and Pleo Not (Penicillium notatum) into the buccal membrane next to the infected teeth follow by ozone, 9 gamma, about 15 minutes later so as to not undo the good isopathics. This is done weekly if possible until the signs of tooth infection go negative. Treating infected teeth and maxillary/mandibular-infected bone is one of the great frontiers in medicine that the Germans figured out a long time ago.

Remember the EKG

Can you imagine diagnosing heart disease by taping electrodes on the skin to monitor electrical changes in the heart? Electrical monitoring of mammalian heart impulses dates back to 1668 when Dutchman Jan Swammerdam first demonstrated electrical nerve conduction. Einthoven coined the term electrocardiogram in 1893. Surely, over 100 years later, it is not too much of stretch for our intellects to detect multiple abnormalities of the human condition via EAV. There are many other machines which measure skin resistance/capacitance. LSA (Limbic System Analysis), Zyto, Vega, Avatar, and other machines use this technology.

Most medical licensing boards frown on this technology. We are blessed in Nevada and Arizona to have our state boards of homeopathic medical examiners, which have these technologies registered and approved in our state laws. Do some kind of testing if you can. The human organism is most complex and wonderful! We are blessed to work with these advanced technologies.
