Procedures - Electrodermal Screening

Electrodermal Screening

Elecrodermal Screening (EDS) or Electroaccupuncture According to Voll (EAV), is an innovative testing method that has been used for over 60 years. It is used widely throughout Europe by over 25,000 medical practitioners, and is gaining acceptance in the United States.

EDS offers a quick, non-invasive method of screening for health imbalances. It should be clearly understood that EDS is not a "standard medical procedure," and is not accepted as a diagnostic test for determining a specific disease or medical condition. It is, however, and energetic evaluation of an individual and provides an invaluable general assessment of a patient's state of health. It has also proven to be a powerful tool for remedy and dental material selection, as well as for evaluating tooth stresses and jaw infections.

EDS utilizes the body's Accupuncture Meridians or the "energetic system" as a means of communicating with the body. This energetic system is a network of communication pathways in touch with even the smallest corner of your body. By indirectly measuring this energetic system, EDS can evaluate the functional condition and general health of the entire body, including determining the presence or absence of parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and toxins.

EDS is not meant to be a replacement for the other patient evaluation methods, but rather function as a complementary means of information gathering. In the final analysis, the more information we have about a patient's condition, the greater success we can hope to achieve with the treatment recommended.
