1. How long has electrodermal technology been used?
The theory of acupuncture and meridians dates back to the Yellow Emperor 2000 years B.C.
The electrical nature of acupuncture and its clinical relevance was first discovered by Reinhold Voll, M.D. in Germany in 1953. Voll applied radio technology in recording the effects of electrical stimuli at acupuncture points.
He also observed by, serendipity, the effects on a subject’s prostate point, before and after, the electrical field of the prostate meridian was exposed to a homeopathic remedy. This led to a vigorous exploration of the effects of various substances on acupuncture points. He now called these sites "electropuncture points". The technology was made public at an international meeting of acupuncturists in Limburg, Germany in 1955.
In 1937 Alec Reeves discovered the concept of pulse width modulation of analog waves.
The an analog to digital integrated circuit that he developed converted voltage to frequency. This discovery led to digital audio recording and was subsequently applied to the field of electropuncture.
By the mid-1970’s digitized codes for many substances were programmed into computer software programs and integrated in series with electrodermal detection devises making it possible to measure skin resistance and conversely, biological conductance.
2. Are there any adverse reactions from using the electrodermal devise?
The output electrical stimulus of the electrodermal devise is 10-12 microamperes, about the same amount of amperes produced as a AAA dry cell battery. It is classified by the Food and drug administration as being of non-significant risk.
About 200 grams of pressure must be applied in order for the probe to make proper contact with the skin. As a result, a pressure mark may be made at the contact point of the skin with the Cramer needle of the probe. This mark disappears rapidly without any residual effect.
Adverse biofeedback reactions are unusual. The only one that I have seen in 1310 cases is vasomotor instability produced by imprinted solutions for chemicals or metals affecting the parasympathetic nerve site , ST 10a or the Autonomic Nerve site, AL 1a. Most of those who experience these reactions felt better in the recumbent position until the reaction clears.
3. How long does an evaluation take?
The initial evaluation is very variable, usually about 1 to 2 hours. Beyond that time both the client and the evaluator experience mental and physical fatigue and the test site becomes over sensitized and may lead to false positive readings.
4. How do you find the correct signals?
There are two ways to select the correct signals:
- The non- medical model.
- Test the subject without having any clinical knowledge of the person being tested. Use the select Yes/No function and test the signals in each of the categories at all of the main detection sites and branches and save all of the signals that correct for abnormal conductance show abnormal conductance.
- The Medical Model
- Test the subject after having as complete a medical record as possible. This should include a:
- Chief complaint
- History of the present illness
- Review of systems
- Results of a physical examination
- A report of laboratory studies
- A report of radiological and other technical studies
- Performance status for outcome evaluation
- Screen all main detection sites for non-conductance
- Select corrective signals for each non-conductance site found in the screening
- Correct for non-conductance at sites suggested by the medical summary.
5. How does this process differ from acupuncture?
In acupuncture needles are inserted at specific points on the skin on acupuncture meridians for the purpose of stimulating these points. The word elektropunctur was used by Reinhold Voll and translated to Electro-Acupuncture of Voll or EAV. There is some logic in using this name since the electro-acupuncture points are similar to the classical acupuncture points.
There are differences between acupuncture and electro-acupuncture.
In acupuncture, needles are inserted into acupuncture points.
In electro-acupuncture, the broad based Cramer needle does not puncture the skin and is used only as an electromagnetic contact for detecting skin resistance. For this reason, in my study An Electrodermal Analysis of Biological Conductance, I emphasized the concept of signal detection and changed acupuncture points to detection sites both are connected energetically to internal sources; acupuncture meridian to detection arrays, both are energy pathways and control measurement points, CMP’s to main detection sites, MDS’s, both represent events in the meridian or detection array.
6. What is "Speckhart’s Expert Electrodermal Detection System"?
This is a system of signal detection based on a review of 1310 charts by Vincent J.Speckhart M.D in which he identifies 912 different signals in 20 different categories over a five year period of time. The details of this study may be found in his text An Electrodermal Analysis of Biological Conductance.
The purpose of the study was to find electromagnet signals that resulted in changes in skin resistance in the test subject. Since resistance is: 1/conductance, the study was also a study of electromagnetic conductance of signals i.e. pieces of information, being conducted in a biological subject. It was, in effect, information technology applied to a living, dynamic biological system. The information thus obtained was immediately available and did not have to be further characterized by laboratory manipulation or run the risk of degradation or the introduction of artifact.
The signal, when identified, decreases skin resistance, and is known as a signal of identity. By placing this signal into the series circuitry of the detection system, conductance in the test subject is restored.
This signal can also be passed through an induction coil. If a container with a solution of water or water and alcohol is placed in the well of the induction coil, an electromagnetic field effect will imprint the signal into the solution of the container.
The conductance effect on the test subject is the same from the imprinted solution as it is from the signal (code) coming directly from the computer software.
It has been observed that the use of electromagnetic signals imprinted in water/alcohol solutions corrects non-conductance at the detection site at which it was being tested.
Paralleling the correction of non-conductance was a beneficial change in the clinical status of the test subject. This was an electromagnetic effect on the clinical status of an individual without the use of pharmaceuticals, homeopathic remedies or herbal compounds.
During the initial process of detection, all of the signals were identified and imprinted. The same sequence of signal detection and imprinting was repeated regularly. The iteration and reiteration was continued until the case was completed, that is, when no new non-conductance signals could be detected.
The fact that a clinical response can be observed when electromagnetic conductance is restored has a significant global implication especially for undeveloped countries where pharmaceuticals are not available.
7. Are there any harmful effects from using imprinted solutions?
Imprinted solutions are a pulse width modulated codes of analog biological waves. They have an equivalent electromagnetic effect as the normal biological wave. As such, they are not harmful.
Imprinted solutions are convenient because they can be used outside of the testing environment. They have the same electromagnetic effect as direct stimulation.
