Electroacupuncture according to Voll
Electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV), also known as electrodermal screening (EDS), bioelectric functions diagnosis (BFD), bioresonance therapy (BRT), meridian stress assessment (MSA), or bio-energy regulatory technique (BER), is a controversial alternative medicine method of using electrodiagnostic devices to diagnose and treat "energy imbalance" often using homeopathic products, first used by Reinhold Voll by combining acupuncture with a galvanometer in 1958. It is not used in conventional medical treatments and has no scientific basis.
Functioning
The EAV measures bioelectric current under the skin in the fractural points in the fingers on the hands and on the toes of the feet, and compares the value at each point to an established baseline for healthy individuals. Abnormal readings are hypothesized to be correlated to improper organ functioning. Remedies can be inserted into the EAV to bring a person's rating within the normal range.
