American Association of Acupuncture and Bioenergetic Medicine
..."The American Association of Acupuncture and Bio-Energetic Medicine (AAABEM) was founded on March 9, 1978 in Honolulu, Hawaii, as a non-profit professional education and research organization. It is a professional association created to disseminate information on acupuncture and bio-energetic medical science, to promote clinical applications in these fields, to encourage open discussion and research in these and related fields, and to forge the way for the integration of bio-energetic medicine with conventional medicine. It is an association of like-minded physicians and others dedicated to exploring clinical studies to better their service to their profession and the public."
Biological Medicine : Lead Article,
by Dr Robert Jacobs, MRCS, LRCP - "Dr. Helmut Schimmel has gained a number of interesting insights into the causation of disease using electro-dermal screening.... show that a lot of chronic illnesses are caused, at least in part, by viruses. This appears true of illnesses such as high blood pressure, arthritis, thyroid disease, asthma, allergies of all kinds, auto-immune diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome, infertility, and multiple sclerosis. The cause of all these diseases is unknown to conventional medicine....It even appears that viruses may play a part in causing cancer and other malignant diseases.
Interestingly enough, recent conventional medical research has confirmed that viruses (in particular, a virus known as Coxsackie B) may play a role in causing Multiple Sclerosis and Motor Neurone Disease. In general the latest conventional research tends to confirm rather than contradict the findings of Biological Medicine."
Canadian
Quackery Watch - This is similar to Quackwatch
which is listed below. Medicine is big business. It is important for those who
are making money selling drugs and expensive medical treatments to fight
anything that works well and is inexpensive. I am against anyone making claims
about CEDS that are not proven. It is a screening device and not diagnostic. So
it is good that these organizations keep CEDS practitioners honest and
exaggerating the benefits of CEDS.
Homeopathy and Electro-Dermal Screening - EDS
- Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Jan, 2001 by Allen M. Kratz -
"Electro-Dermal screening and the PEP test are biofeedback systems; that is, similar to the lie detector or polygraph test, in which an operator observes involuntary changes in the electrical resistance of the skin in response to various questions."
Protocol for Dental Screening with Computerized Electrodermal Systems
- "The protocol is used to evaluate the mouth and its energetic relations to organs and tissue of the body. You will also be made aware of the false negatives and why they present the appearance of a compromised tooth from outside interference fields. The protocol will help to differentiate between dental materials and diseased teeth that cause abnormal signals."
This is a very interesting page
which gives great links. It tells a bit about electro dermal testing and
why he thinks it is quackery. I suggest you read his page and judge
electro dermal screening for yourself.

Med-Tronik - Neue
Dimensionen ganzheitlicher Medizin - "Med-Tronik
- new dimensions in holistic medicine. The idea that acupuncture meridian energy
/ information might be assessed and even rebalanced / reharmonised via
technological methods led Dr Franz Morell, a medical doctor and Erich Rasche, an
engineer, to develop the first MORA® instrument in the 70s. Since then the Mora
method of using the body's own meridian energy / information in meridian /
energetic system assessment and treatment has been implemented all over the
world and has produced some remarkable success stories."

Establishing
Compatibility of Dental Materials Through Serum Antibody Testing by Susan
Stockton - (from Issue #2) - "Compatibility of various dental materials can
be determined, with varying degrees of accuracy, through different testing
methods. These include Applied Kinesiology (AK), ElectroDermal Screening (EDS)
and reactivity testing, an immunological testing procedure using blood serum.
The first two testing methods provide indicators of the body's energetic
response to samples of intact dental materials. In AK, a strong or weak muscle
response will be interpreted as an indication of whether or not a particular
material is biocompatible. EDS measurements utilize computer technology and are
more quantitative, yielding more detailed information about both the degree and
nature of the body's response to a given material."
Isopathic/Homeopathic
Research - Dr. Bigelsen's Biograms - "When Harvey Bigelsen, M.D., first
saw crystallized images of diseased organs in the blood, he thought he was just
imagining them, the way children see animal forms in clouds. But he kept
observing correlations between the images and the patient's disease. He decided
to take pictures and keep notes. The result was a substantial body of hard
evidence demonstrating what alternative healers using muscle testing,
electrodermal screening, and "psychic" diagnosis have been claiming
for years but could not prove because their techniques were operator-dependent
-- that disease patterns can be diagnosed from the energy fields of the
body."

BE AWARE: The electrodermal testing devices have not been approved by
the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for assessment of nutritional
deficiencies, food allergies, the presence of toxins, Candida, Epstein Barr
virus, or the weakness of organs and glands. Use of the device for these
purposes is inconsistent with FDA approval. The galvanic skin response
device is a Class II device that may be used for
lie detection and for biofeedback.
There are no generally accepted completed
clinical studies which demonstrate that the electrodermal testing devices
are effective when used to assess for nutritional deficiencies, the presence
of toxins, food allergies, Candida, Epstein Barr virus, and the strength or
weakness of organs and glands.
Your child's exposure to lead or heavy metals cannot be determined
solely through electrodermal testing.
You should not make decisions about your or your child's health and
nutritional needs from information obtained solely through electrodermal
testing.
You are
to discuss all CEDS recommendations with your health care provider before implementing
any of them.
There are medical tests for many, if not all of the issues that
respondents use electrodermal testing to assess, and you
are strongly encouraged to confirm the exposures identified through standard
medical testing if you or your family physician feel that it is
necessary.
