What is Sensitivity Testing?
Computerized sensitivity testing, or bioenergetic testing is a non-invasive, safe, pain-free and highly developed method of determining imbalances in the body. Dr. Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor, discovered and developed this technique in the early 1940s. The system I use in my practice is the MSAS Vantage - by BioMeridian.
This technology is similar to the Polygraph, Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), and other technologies that measure electrical energy of the body. It is not used to diagnose or treat disease as defined by conventional medicine, however many doctors recommend it. Bioenergetic testing allows early detection of tendencies toward disease, toxicity and imbalances due to various types of stress before they become outwardly manifested.
The process involves measuring electrical conductivity by touching on acupuncture points (meridian points) on the hands and feet using a handheld stylus.
Acupuncture points are related to the body's organs and organ systems. Major groups of points are connected through channels, or meridians beginning or ending on the hands and feet.
The results of testing are recorded and assessed by a sophisticated software program. Once imbalances are identified, I will recommend the appropriate foods, remedies, and/or lifestyle changes to help you reach optimum health.
Food and Environmental Sensititivity Testing

Bioenergetic testing takes the guesswork
out of what your body needs or doesn't like,
and can tell you and your health practioner
more about the current state of your body's
health.
It can assess the effectivensss of
supplements and treatment protocols

It provides you with immediate results in the

- Candida, mold and fungi
- Hormone imbalances
- Digestive problems
- Microbial imbalances including: parasites, viruses, and bacteria
