BioMeridian Testing
• The functional status of your meridians and their related organs, systems, or functions, by determining if they are stressed, balanced, or weakened, and by how much.
• Which specific nutritional products will bring your unbalanced meridians back to balance.
• If you have specific sensitivities to foods, molds pollens, etc.
• If you have spinal misalignments interfering with your meridian energy flow, and their location.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS TYPE OF TESTING?
First of all, any way you look at the human body…it is made out of energy. With that said, this test would benefit anyone interested in examining and improving the functional energetic status of their own bodies. This applies to those who are unwell and looking to improve their health as well as those who have no diagnosable illness but would like to optimize their current state of health and possibly prevent future negative health issues.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AN EXAMINATION?
The examination is performed by testing up to 60 different acupressure points on both hands and feet which relate back to the energy channels and their related organs, systems, or functions. This testing does not involve needles, only a stylus is used to send a very small electrical current (not a shock) through each point, which is recorded and analyzed by the computer system.
HOW MANY TIMES WILL I HAVE TO BE RE-TESTED?
It depends on how far out of balance you are at the time of the initial exam, your compliance with the recommendations done for you, and what your personal functional health goals are.
More detailed info on BioMeridian Testing
The BioMeridian is piece of equipment which performs electro-dermal screening. This screening assesses the Acupuncture meridians of the body and thereby gives a general picture of the function of organs and structures located along those meridians. The BioMeridian test provides practitioners with a means of measuring the profiles of organs, glands, immune system organs, the musculoskeletal system and allergies to name a few.
The BioMeridian uses passive electrical energy, like that of an ECG (electrocardiogram) or EEG (electroencephalogram) to take its readings.
Once a reading is taken for each point it is stored in a computer. When all desired points have been tested, the computer will compile a report for analysis. Readings for each point range from 0 to 100. Readings above 55 (which appear red) show excessive energy and suggest inflammation or sensitivity. Readings below 45 (yellow) demonstrate reduced energy, weakness or a chronic condition or organ degeneration. The meridian is balanced when the reading is between 45 and 55 (green). One of the benefits of the technology is that it will frequently detect problems before they would show up on other tests. That’s because energy is one of the first things to be affected as a person moves away from balanced health.
Accurate and professional interpretations of the results of the test are crucial as they help determine a treatment plan for the client. Treatment plans may include dietary or lifestyle changes, vitamin, mineral and/or botanical supplementation, detoxification programs, acupuncture, etc.
The test takes about 30 minutes and then the doctor will review the results with you and prepare a plan to help your body heal and gain strength. This equipment registers normal, stressed or weak responses and helps us to recommend the appropriate whole food supplements, along with some dietary suggestions, to address those stresses and weaknesses.
Allergy/Sensitivity/Intolerance Testing using the BioMeridian
The BioMeridian contains an extensive database of over 40 000 potential allergens including but not limited to environmental, food and chemical allergens. Using the BioMeridian we can compare the frequency of these allergens to our patients. This gives us the ability to deduce if certain items may cause sensitivities or allergens in our client.
Using the same machine that is used for the BioMeridian testing we can also test allergies. Using a database of over 40 000 items we can test environmental, food sensitivities or allergies and much more. The Allergy test can be compared to that of an MRI or X-Ray in that it uses electromagnetic stimuli. Readings 55-59 are sensitivity, readings 60 and above are classified as an allergy, and anything between 45 and 55 is considered to be safe.
The BioMeridian Nutritional Test is:
- Non-invasive allergy/sensitivity screening. NO scratch testing or injections are necessary.
- The only electro-acupuncture testing equipment approved by the FDA as a Class II medical device.
- Tests for toxicity and drainage levels, and their effects on energy and organ functions.
- Help patients maintain the structural or functional integrity of important body systems.
