Every EAV (electro-acupuncture according to Voll)  instrument is an OHM meter, i.e. It measures one thing – electrical impedance.
Back in the late 1940′s, Dr. Reinholt Voll, MD began an investigation of the effects of electricity on the human physiology. In his studies, Dr. Voll used a technique known as Impedance or OHM metering. In simple terms, some materials are very electrically conductive, for example metals like steel and copper – electricity flows very easily through metals and therefore there is no substantial resistance on the electricity flowing through the metal. Other materials are not conductive, for example wood or rubber, and since these materials are not conductive, their resistance to electrical current is very high. An OHM meter measures electrical resistance (impedance), and it is also capable of measuring conductance since the inverse of resistance (1/resistivity approximately), is conductance.

So, what is the value of EAV, (electro-acupuncture according to Voll) since it is only a relative indicator?

It would be a mistake to assume that EAV is not measuring a valuable parameter. When a practitioner uses standard blood test values, the purpose is in part to get a better understanding of the health of the cells of the body.

“Health” in reality can be broken down to the health of the tissue, the organs and the glands, and these are composed of cells. But when you are measuring the blood, you are not measuring the cells directly. It is extremely difficult to measure the cells but we can indirectly get a sense of what is going on within the cells by measuring the blood.

Similarly, the energetic system is a component of the body. It is related to everything going on in the body, and therefore, measuring the energetic system gives us a valuable, non-invasive sense of everything that is going on within the body. Read the rest of this entry

Computerized EAV (Electro-acupuncture according to Voll) Systems improve testing efficiency and efficacy.

Early generation EAV meters used an analogue needle meter, similar to the speedometer in an automobile. The next progression in EAV technology involved the interfacing of the meter with a computer and custom software. Computers are very useful at displaying information, saving and comparing data and organizing information in database fashion. EAV practitioners used organized “trays” made of cardboard, each containing 100 to 200 Remedies organized in rows and columns. The doctors would physically retrieve the trays and test the individual items, a very cumbersome, tedious process. One of the goals in computerized EAV was to better organize and access the thousands of different Remedies that are used in testing. Read the rest of this entry

At this point, it is obviously better to evaluate different devices based on other criteria as, for example the following factors …

Ease of use:

Is the software easy to use? Is it user friendly, and does it offer the features, tools and capabilities you need to handle testing now and in the future when your capabilities expand?
