Meridian stress assessment is used to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of a patient’s energetic health and balance. The BioMeridian machine measures the electrical conductivity at responsive points (meridian points) on the skin of the hands and feet. The location of the test points generally correspond to those of the acupuncture points. The measurements are interpreted and recorded to help provide a profile of the patient’s condition.
After the initial measurements have been taken, the BioMeridian machine’s extensive computer database will allow Dr. Stanger to consider a wide range of therapeutic options to help shift the patient’s system into balance. The BioMeridian system allows for consideration of thousands of herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies and standard medications that can be individually assessed for each patient. The system also allows for testing of substances such as food and other health and beauty items that an individual uses to assess if those items are helpful or harmful for that individual. Sensitivity screening can be done for foods, food additives, medications and inhalants.
According to European medical research, acupuncture points are related to the body’s organs and organ systems. Major groups of points are connected through channels, or meridians. Twenty of these meridians begin or end on the hands and feet. As a patient moves toward or away form health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be sensed along the meridians at representative points on the hands and feet. As a result, stress associated the corresponding organs can be surveyed using the indicated points.
Overall, The BioMeridian machine provides a completely non-invasive method for gaining valuable information about the body’s vital functions. The primary objective of this procedure is to uncover patterns of stress and to provide feedback for use in a program to help restore each system and meridian to an appropriate balance.
