ELECTRODERMAL SCREENING
4.0 EAV/EDS Testing System
(Electro-Acupuncture According to Dr. Voll/Electro-Dermal Screening)

In the 1950s Doctor Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor, found a way of measuring the electrical characteristics of acupuncture points. Through a brilliant series of experiments which combined his western medical and acupuncture knowledge he made the remarkable discovery that through Bio Feedback these measurements could:
• Determine the energy levels of the major organs and systems of the body;
• Identify the negative energetic effects on the body’s function of toxic substances, food intolerances, and microbes;
• Asses the balancing effect of vitamin and minerals, thereby assisting the practitioner to provide recommended supplementation;
• Determine corrective remedies to minimise the effects of toxic chemicals and microbes.

Dr. Voll found that the electrical characteristics of an acupuncture point varied as a substance a person was sensitive to, depleted in, or would benefit from was placed in the electrical circuit. This is a phenomena of biofeedback and was named Electro Dermal Screening (EDS) or Electro Acupuncture according to Voll (EAV).

This method was documented and proven in over a decade of studies in Germany, and today EAV is widely used throughout Europe by over 25,000 medical practitioners. In the United States and Australia, EAV is currently growinig in acceptance, particularly with holistic medical practitioners who specialize in “alternative, holistic and biological” techniques and disciplines.

There are two basic testing procedures:


Stress screening which is used to assess deficiencies and sensitivities  e.g. vitamin levels, food sensitivities, effects of toxic load, etc.

Balance screening which is used to determine the energetic health of body organs and systems. e.g. liver heart, spleen, etc.

EAV offers a quick, non-invasive screening method for determining health imbalances. Practitioners typically use EAV as a complement to those standard-testing procedures in common use. EAV has great value in giving practitioners a “hands on” assessment tool and provides invaluable information about the patient’s condition. Additionally, EAV practitioners have found tremendous success using EAV as a powerful tool for determining preventative and “Bio-Compatible” remedy therapies for their patients.

Please note: EAV/EDS testing is not a “standard medical procedure”, and today it is not accepted as a standardized diagnostic test for determining any specific medical condition or disease. EAV is an “Energetic” assessment of the individual.
