Electro Dermal Screening Test (EDST) or the electro-acupuncture diagnostic method measures the skin’s electrical activity at designated acupuncture points. An electronic device designed by Reinhold Voll, the EAV machine or Dermatron, consists of a 10-micro ampere meter calibrated from 0 to100. Patients hold the negative electrode in one hand while operators place the probe, which constitutes the positive electrode, on selected acupuncture points, called control measurements points (CMP), in the hands and feet. Dr. Voll highlighted that when an initially measured-maximum value decreases and stabilizes at a lower reading, it is characterized what he called an indicator drop (ID). The ID could be the most critical sign for detecting physiological abnormalities. According to his theory, when the bioelectric conductance of organs or systems is unable to maintain a stable current, and a new balance is established at a lower-reading level, the functionality of those organs and systems might be impaired. However, a stable reading of 50 shows that organs or system being tested are in balance and normally functioning whereas readings progressively going toward 100 indicate the presence of inflammatory processes. Later, Dr. Voll noticed that his patients’ readings could be suddenly improved when they held vials of homeopathic medication in their hands. The opposite happened when remedies were removed. Dr. Voll also observed that to obtain the ideal measurement of 50, the dosage of the medication needed to be adjusted. According to him, the phenomenon of medicine testing occurs due to the electromagnetic characteristics of the medications, which cause reactions in the energetic level of body.
