The Biomeridian Scanner: A Diagnostic Breakthrough
By Laura Offenbacher

The Biomeridian Scanner is a revolutionary diagnostic breakthrough that allows practitioners to assess the progression of health conditions at very early stages, giving patients a significant advantage in staying ahead of disease states and allowing healthy people to practice prevention at its finest. The scanner was developed based on the pioneering work of two doctors.

In the early 1950s, Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor, developed an electronic testing device for finding acupuncture points. He was successful in finding acupuncture points and demonstrating that these points, known to Chinese acupuncturists for millennia, had a different resistance to a tiny electrical current than did the adjacent tissues. Many other researchers have verified that electrical conductance at the acupuncture points is significantly greater than the surrounding tissue.

Voll then began a lifelong search to identify correlations between disease states and changes in the electrical resistance of the various acupuncture points. He thought that if he could identify electrical changes in certain acupuncture points associated with certain diseases, then he might be able to identify those diseases more easily, or earlier, when treatment intervention was likely to be more effective. Voll was successful in identifying many acupuncture points related to specific conditions and published a great deal of information about using acupuncture points diagnostically. (Until Voll, these points had been used mainly for treatment). He found, for example, that patients with lung cancer had abnormal readings on the acupuncture points referred to as lung points. Changes also occurred in the electrical conductance of the acupuncture points supplying musculoskeletal structures that are inflamed.

Voll discovered that certain acupuncture points showed abnormal readings when subjects were reacting allergically. He made several serendipitous discoveries related to “allergy” testing and ultimately discovered that energy fields somehow traveled along the electric circuit to the body (perhaps like the energy waves representing a person's voice travels along the electric circuitry of a telephone line).

The second physician, Dr. Reckeweg, is the father of homotoxicology and one of the greatest healers that ever lived. He was a German medical doctor who understood the tenets of homeopathy. He broke with the tradition established by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, M.D., who postulated that only one remedy should be used at a time. Dr. Reckeweg postulated that if there were ten remedies that did the same thing, then it would be prudent to add all ten to one formula and let the patient’s system choose the one that it wanted. Perhaps more significantly, Dr. Reckeweg is well known to have spent his life documenting the six phases of 600 different health conditions and their progression.

The technology found in the BioMeridian combines the life work of these two phenomenal doctors. With several advances in computers and measuring devices, developers at BioMeridian have produced a truly phenomenal way of helping patients not only know where they stand, but provide natural remedies that encourage a balance in health.

In less than an hour a patient may be tested using a small current – not a shock - on Voll's 60 acupressure points that measure the resistance of the tissues and combine them with Reckweg's phases of progression of conditions. The results of the scan are presented in an easy to read graph showing where they stand in their overall health. It is enlightening for patients to see their progress on paper.  It also allows the provider to use the software to match up the best nutritional choices available from whole food supplements or herbs.

Results of the changes may be monitored as often as weekly in severely ill patients (such as those with life threatening conditions) or less often for those that just want to monitor changes to their health. Now the doctor gets a report card on both himself and the patient. If the patient has been compliant with the doctor’s instructions, the results will be beneficial. Non-compliance on the part of the patient will show as well. In addition, the doctor can monitor the result of his recommendations and adjust to optimize results.

Clearly the BioMeridian scan is an exciting option for obtaining and maintaining total wellness. The ability to identify issues and prevent the onset of illness saves both time and money and supports years of healthy, carefree living.
