Meridian Stress Assessment

A Nutritional Program begins with developing a bioenergetics stress profile of the entire body systems using the Meridian Stress Assessment System (MSAS). This screening process will provide nutritional insight from which a food program, homeopathic remedies and supplementation regimen can be recommended. The profile can also be used as a periodic assessment of progress. Using acupuncture points, electrical conductivity measurements are taken of the body’s organs and organ systems. As a person moves toward or away from health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be sensed along the meridians represented by these acupuncture points. These patterns of organ stress are then matched to a tailor-made program for you that will begin the process to restore each system to an appropriate balance.

In the early 1950’s Reinhold Voll, a German medical doctor, developed an electronic testing device for finding acupuncture points electrically. 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 passed through the body, than did the adjacent tissues.

The meridian theory is the study of the physiological functions and changes along the meridians and the related organs. Meridians are also known as "sensory neurological pathways." The function of the meridian system is to transport energy and blood, to maintain conductivity, and to resist invasion of external factors that contribute to disease. The endless circulation of energy and blood in the meridians is responsible for the maintenance of life and the variety of functions that support it.

Blockage of energy in any of the meridians causes system imbalance and predisposes the body to disease. The meridian theory has been the guiding principle for the clinical practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Changes in the energetic system are present long before physical symptoms manifest themselves. There are no needles or puncturing of the skin. A low level electric stimulus is passed through the body while the client holds a brass handle in one hand. A reading is taken for each point and stored in the computer. We can also test for and determine the body's electrical reaction to many of the stress producing substances and influences of modern day living. By using an extensive data base, we ask the body what it’s need are in relation to the effects of environmental irritants, food stimuli, heavy metals, drugs, hormonal imbalances, chemical toxicity, molds, fungi, dental problems and vitamin and mineral deficiencies, etc.

Your body's responses to these elements are shown on the Meridian Stress Assessment System (MSAS), with readings ranging between 0 and 100. Readings in the 45 - 55 range suggest balance in that point and meridian. Readings above 55 show excessive energy and suggest inflammation or sensitivity. Readings below 45 demonstrate reduced energy, weakness and a chronic or organ degeneration. Accurate and professional interpretation of the results of the test are most important and are given to the client after the test is completed. An assessment of nutritional conditions and the treatment of nutritional related disorders are based on your individual biochemical metabolism.

The analysis may involve the introduction and implementation of food and dietary programs, vitamin, mineral, and botanical supplementation, and/or detoxification programs. Many conditions are related to improper or incomplete digestion and elimination and result in nutritional deficiencies. Allergies can also be a result of this mechanism.

The purpose of Meridian Stress Assessment testing is to provide an energetic profile of your present condition. We can use the test results and the results of a nutritional analysis as a guideline to develop an individualized program that will enable you to become increasingly involved with and responsible for your health.

This technology is used in various health care practices around the world!
