This revolutionary analysis technique, used at Pacific Health Centers, was pioneered by renowned West German physician, Reinhold Voll, M.D. in 1953. Various methods of Electrodermal Testing are currently used by over 40,000 medical doctors in Europe and by an increasing number of health practitioners in the United States.

Electrodermal Testing involves taking simple, painless, electrical resistance readings on the surface of the skin at acupuncture points on the fingers. The subtle differences in electrical resistance detected by the sophisticated testing instrumment determine specifics such as nutrient deficiencies, food and environmental sensitivities, toxicities, energetically weak organs, and compatible nutritional supplements and other remedies.

Toward that end we specifically utilize aspects of the VEGA testing method developed by Helmut Schimmel, M.D., D.D.S. of West Germany. Dr. Schimmel discovered that adding to the circuit homeopathic dilutions of various foods, environmental substances, nutrients, toxins, etc. would change the skin resistance readings, indicating a "yes" or a "no" relative to a particular test. These filters, originally in test vials, are now recorded electronically in the computer for simpler testing.

The computerized Electrodermal Testing allows the practitioner to test vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs, and homeopathic remedies for their "balancing effect" on the body, measured by their improving previously poor test readings. Thus, the guesswork of nutritional programs is eliminated.

Electrodermal Testing has been described as a method of “conducting an electronic interview with the human body.” Thousands of Pacific Health Center clients have benefited from this state-of-the-art approach.
