A
An Introduction To Bioenergetic Medicine By Dr. Robert Rowen MD:
Here we
are looking for imbalances in the organs, glands and systems of the
mind-body. Itinvolves energetically querying the body for imbalances in focus at
the present time.
If imbalances are identified, the body is queried again to find the best
rebalancing therapeutics. The conscious mind is never engaged.
Clinical Study
"Drawing from a clinical pool of 1,800 patients, E.Alan
Jeppsen, MD, and Steven G. Osguthorpe, N.D., conducted a double
blind study of over 600 randomly assigned patients of which 100
were used as control subjects. This study, "Effectiveness of
the ASYRA in assessing Sub-Phyiologic Thyroid Levels in Women
35-65 Years of Age," yielded a 97% correlation with blood
chemistry."
Clinical Study
"In a study conducted at the UCLA School of Medicine in Los
Angeles, thirty individuals were tested "blindly" with EAV. Four
lung cancer patients were "mixed" with 26 subjects who had
negative chest x-rays and were considered to be healthy by
conventional criteria. The four cancer patients were identified
correctly. Of the 26 subjects with negative chest x-rays, 22
were deemed by EAV to have normal respiratory systems. However,
EAV discovered four cases of previously unsuspected respiratory
problems."

Clinical Review
"In
clinical practice, EDS instruments are useful as diagnostic
supplements to blood tests, radiographic imaging, and case
histories historically and currently, EDS instruments
characterize differences between inflammatory and degenerative
conditions. The integration of reliable and valid bioelectric
medical instruments into the clinical setting augments the
ability to rapidly evaluate tissues which are difficult or
impossible to assess by conventional test procedures."

diagnosis: Historical and current views of Bioelectric Medicine
by Barbara Brewitt, Ph.D. Journal of Naturopathic Medicine
Volume 6, Number 1
This type of testing goes by several different names, such as;
Biofeedback Testing, Bioenergetic Testing, Bioresonance Testing,
Meridian Stress Assessment/Analysis (MSA), Electrodermal Screening
(EDS), and ElectroAcupuncture according to Voll (EAV).
Testing
is made easier today with the use of fully computerized biofeedback
testing devices such as the Asyra Pro. The device is able
to run a very large number of tests, querying the body in just a few
minutes.
The
testing is quick, painless and non-invasive. It does not provide a
diagnosis and should never be used as a substitute for the advice
of a physician.

Asyra Pro - The Science:
Isn't This Form Of Testing
"Quackery":
"Whether you think it is, or you think it
isn't -- you're right." - Anonymous
Yes, to some it is!
There will always be those who are
dismissive of anything outside the status quo such as energy medicine.
You'll often find they
have never tried it, but they have a very strong
opinion about it, and they expect everyone else should embrace their opinion.
The question shouldn't be
is this quackery? It should be, "Is what you're doing now working? If not,
then do something different."
How Accurate Is Biofeedback Testing:
"It is better to be roughly right than
precisely wrong." - John Maynard Keynes
Good question. Energy is always dynamic,
never static. Over 400 million times a second,
electromagnetic frequencies are communicating information within our
cells and between our cells. Our body is ever changing and
adjusting to inputs and outputs and our environment.
Hence all tests are just a snapshot of a
moment in time. For example a blood test for blood sugar may have one
result now and be quite
different in 30 minutes. Same with an EKG of the
heart. The rhythm may be sinus one moment and tachycardic the next.
Biofeedback testing
is no different. The results change as our body
changes.
It's true, reliability and validation
studies are scarce to date, and no substantial database of conditions
and diseases correlated with energy field measures of the human body
have been published. Obviously more research is needed to validate this
methodology.
That being said, if you look at the clinical studies
that have been done, testing
seems to correlate with blood chemistry more than 75% of the
time.
Another interesting thing, if you recall,
disease processes first alter the body's energetic field. Even the
National Institute of Health (NIH)acknowledges bioelectromagnetics
essentially underlies biochemistry. Thus biofeedback
testing can often pick up the energy signature of
a problem years before
conventional testing can find it, when it is still in the preclinical
phase. Therefore it would be unwise to disregard this testing because
it may seem outside the norm.
Bottomline, always listen to what your
gut tells you. If this doesn't feel right to you, don't do it.
Who Can Benefit From Biofeedback
Testing:
Essentially everyone, infants to seniors,
but particularly those experiencing health challenges who are motivated
to get well.
Is Biofeedback Testing
Safe:
Yes. The testing is quick,
painless and non-invasive.
Are There Any Contraindications Or
Precautions For Biofeedback Testing:
None known.
What Can I Expect After Biofeedback
Testing:
We'll
review the test results with you, answer any questions, recommend
lifestyle improvements, and go over your individualized
wellness plan developed from the test results.
How Often Should I Have Biofeedback
Testing:
We like to follow-up monthly for the first 3 months after your initial
consultation to evaluate your progress, answer any questions, and adjust
your individualized wellness plan to maintain healing momentum.
Do I Need A Doctor's Prescription For
Biofeedback Testing:
No. However Biofeedback
Testing should never be used as a substitute for the advice of a
physician or other licensed health care practitioner.
Is Biofeedback Testing Approved By
The FDA:
The
Asyra Pro is an FDA approved
electrodermal testing device.
Where Can I Find Out
More Information On Biofeedback Testing:
Bioenergetic testing is used more extensively in Europe than the USA and Canada.
A good place to learn
more about bioenergetic testing would be to read Reinhold Voll's work.
A good online resource for the Asyra Pro
with many case studies is www.asyra.co.uk.
