About

Electro Dermal Screening (EDS) is an advanced diagnostic tool that was developed out of the research of Dr. Reinhold Voll. He was an MD, anatomy professor, and acupuncturist, who began his clinical analysis in the late 1940’s. 

This technology provides valuable insights into your overall health and well-being. It is a non-invasive, painless process that utilizes acupuncture points on your skin to assess the functioning of your body's various systems and detect any potential imbalances.

During an EDS session, I will use a small handheld device to measure the electrical conductivity at specific acupuncture points, typically located on your hands or feet. These points are believed to be connected to various organs, tissues, and systems in your body. The device used in EDS measures the skin's electrical resistance or conductance at these points. It is based on the concept that different areas of your body will have different conductance levels depending on the health and balance of the corresponding organs or systems. By measuring the electrical conductivity at these points, we can provide insights into potential imbalances, such as hormonal issues, nutritional deficiencies, toxin accumulation, and allergies. We aim to identify underlying root causes of health concerns rather than simply addressing symptoms. The information gathered through EDS can help us develop a personalized wellness plan tailored to your body's specific needs. This plan may involve recommendations for dietary changes, supplementation, lifestyle modifications, and additional holistic therapies to restore balance and support your overall well-being.

EAV was developed out of the research of Dr. Reinhold Voll, an MD, anatomy professor, and acupuncturist, who began his clinical analysis in the late 1940’s. Dr. Voll was able to scientifically document that in the human body, there are higher levels of electrical conduction (or areas of less resistance) at certain points on the skin, many of which correspond to traditional acupuncture points. He developed a simple metering device to measure this skin resistance on acupuncture points. The meter has a metal cylinder at one end and a stylus at the other. Dr. Voll let his patient hold the cylinder in one hand and then he would touch the tip of the stylus to a specific acupuncture point. A minute amount of electrical current would travel through the body and form a complete electrical circuit. The amount of skin resistance at the acupuncture site would then be recorded.

Dr. Voll found that normal skin resistance over a healthy point is 100,000 Ohms. This equals 50 on the Voll Galvanic Skin Response Scale. A healthy pathway will be able to sustain this level of electron flow. Inflammation tends to foster increased activity in the cells, with all sorts of chemical reactions going on, creating a more active environment through which electrons can flow at a greater rate. Thus, if inflammation exists anywhere on that pathway, the EAV will show a higher than average flow of electrons, and a reading greater than 50 will be indicated. Degenerative states cause cellular activity to slow and stagnate, making it more difficult for the electrons to flow through the circuit, with a reading of less than 50 being indicated.

 The most significant information for EAV testing occurs when the circuit has a high electron flow, which then drops to a lower reading. This indicates that a circuit which was formerly capable of sustaining an electron flow, is no longer able to do so, and is called an indicator drop.

A mishap at a presentation of EAV technology by Dr. Voll resulted in the discovery of one of its MOST powerful abilities. Dr. Voll’s patient was demonstrating a large “indicator drop” on his prostate point. During a break, a helpful homeopath from the audience approached the patient and offered him a remedy. The patient gratefully put the vial of medication in his pocket. After the break, Dr. Voll resumed his demonstration. He was baffled because the readings on the prostate point were now normal. After several confusing and baffling minutes of questioning his subject, he discovered the remedy in the pocket. This remedy in the pocket in a glass vial was able to influence the readings. 

This event led to one of the most interesting and exciting discoveries of all. Dr. Voll designed a tray in the circuit between his EAV machine and the patient. He could then place homeopathic remedies, vitamins, foods, or anything else on this tray and test their effects on the meridian reading. 

This eliminates the guesswork out of finding healing remedies. Modern designers of these systems have figured out how to incorporate the energy signature of the various homeopathic remedies, supplements, food, drugs etc into the software to simplify this procedure.
