Acupuncture Meridian Assessment (AMA) is called by many names such as Electrodermal Screening (EDS) and Electro-Acupuncture according

to Dr. Voll (EAV).  It is a method of assessment of the meridians or pathways of the body.  EAV is a method of testing based on both the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese acupuncture and modern science.  Each of the meridians follows specific pathways to organs, and imbalances in the body. 

A probe* (no needle) is placed on the various acupuncture points to determine the energy flow through the meridians of the body.

 

The science of EAV evolved in the 1940's with the research of Dr.Reinhold Voll, MD, internist and acupuncturist in Germany.  He discovered that the higher or lower reading than the "normal" at a particular acupuncture point indicates an imbalance in the body.  Higher reading indicates inflammation or irritation and lower readings indicate degeneration or low energy flow.  These imbalances can indicate the root cause of symptoms and hidden toxins...pesticides, parasites, heavy metals, fungal infections, bacterial infections including Lyme disease, vaccine toxins, viral toxins, etc.  EAV testing is a tool which enables more information to be obtained.  Our current laboratory testing often is not able to detect hidden infections/toxins that will be evident on the EAV screening.  It is often these "hidden" toxins which prevent the body from healing as it should.  By identifying these blockages and treating them first, it is much eaiser to facilitate healing overall.

 

EAV testing also allows "tools" of both functional and complementary medicine to be specifically tested and chosen for each patient and their individual condition and healing capacity.  Health comes from removing obstacles to recovery and restoring immune tolerance in order to have repair to the cell itself.

 

* A recent patient who had recovered from Lyme brought in her young daughter to be EAV tested for Lyme.  The child was less than 3 years old.  She sat on her mother's lap for the testing.  She was not bothered by the testing at all and within one half hour it was determined that she did have an infection with Pinworms, not Lyme.  Appropriate treatment was started that day.

 

Most chronic illnesses are poly systemic and multi-layered.  EAV testing helps to prioritize the layers and order of treatment.
