Our centre uses Electrodermal Screening (EDS), it is a form of computerized information gathering which is based on physics, not chemistry. A blunt, non-invasive electric probe is placed at specific points on the patient’s hands, face or feet, corresponding to acupuncture points at the beginning or end of energy meridians. Minute electrical discharges from these points serve as information signals about the condition of the body’s organs and systems. EDS uses a scale of 0-100, with 45-55 being ‘normal’ or ‘balanced’. The key idea is that energy transfers its’ signal through and acupuncture meridian to the nervous system, with the end result being a cellular pathology.
