What is the Bodyscan and what is Bioenergetic Testing?

Bioenergetic Testing uses a computer-based instrument to measure the energy of the body using acupressure point readings, providing a new and highly accurate method for determining the energetic causes of allergies and ailments. Don't be intimidated by some of the technical terms. Its basis is simple, and long-established. The Bodyscan is measuring electrical impulses via the skin.

It neither treats, diagnoses, nor cures. Any claims to the contrary are spurious. By quickly and non-invasively providing important information about what's going on inside you, the competent practitioner has an immediate roadmap for supporting your body dramatically and as often as not quickly. Keep in mind that naturopathy specifically means setting aside the symptoms for the time being in order to address the cause of the symptoms. It is the single most measurable difference between medical doctors and naturopathic doctors such as Dr. Cohen: medical doctors seek to cure from the outside in, using surgery or synthetic chemicals. Naturopathic doctors seek to help you heal yourself from the inside out, using the body's natural immune system to heal.

Galvanic skin response, which is also one of the four foundations of the polygraph (commonly called a "lie detector"), is a powerful tool. Your skin, and its galvanic response, tells the truth because it is incapable of dissemination or deception: the skin tells all, electrically speaking.

It tells us what is sensitive to what, and by how much. Skeptics are usually convinced less by the science than by the accuracy of the skilled expert in administering and correctly interpreting the finite, measured results.

Bioenergetic Testing is the end product of a 40-year evolution in Biological-Energetic/Biofeedback testing. Dr. Voll and Dr. Werner of Germany developed this new approach to good health utilizing a modern computer and a sophisticated program. Relatively new in this country, it is felt by many people to be the most significant breakthrough in health in many years. The technique is understood, accepted, and used widely in other countries, especially Germany, France, England and Canada.

It is based on the Chinese Medical theory that improper energy flow through the acupressure meridians causes energy imbalances in the body. During the past 40 years, doctors have identified the interrelationship between acupressure point measurement and individual organs and tissues. Bioenergetic testing is also very similar to Biofeedback. it has been endorsed by many doctors and dentists in the U.S., including Roy Curtain, Ph.D. of Brigham Young University, Fuller Royal, M.D., Nevada, and John Sinclair, D.D.S., Harrison, Arkansas.

What Can The Bodyscan Do?

In fact, the system is capable of performing over 6,000 individual tests on your body. Perhaps more importantly, the machine will automatically indicate what remedies you may need to help you and your doctor correct various problems and deficiencies. A basic goal for those taking synthetic medications is to hear your primary health care provider, usually a medical doctor, say those wonderful words, "You don't need this prescription anymore, at least not for now."

These are sweet words to hear, and a goal worth pursuing. Strengthening your natural abilities to heal, especially when it's done with pinpoint precision such as pancreatic support, or a homeopathic to help you handle an allergy naturally, is the surest route Mankind has developed or discovered of returning the body to natural balance. By encouraging your body to produce the natural, built-in chemicals that most of us do produce in normal quantities during normal healthy periods, we're giving the body maximum possible support. This is contrary to synthetic chemicals, which are designed specifically to depress your immune system until it's so depressed that it begins to fight back harder under serious threat. That is a fact of pharmaceutical drugs that your doctor must tell you is true - by law! NO PHARMACEUTICAL DRUG CAN HEAL - it can only encourage or force your system to produce natural healing chemicals.



How Does The Bodyscan Actually Work?

The computer measures the degree of electrical resistance of the acupressure points, generally the hands and feet. These measurements indicate the balances or imbalances of the various organ systems of the body and can detect low-level reactions in the body. It also indicates which nutritional or homeopathic remedy and the exact potency that will bring about an energy balance. Bioenergetic testing can also monitor the patients progress. There are no side or after-effects with proper use of the eletro-diagnosis and therapy. No piercing of the skin, no discomfort and no electrical impulses are felt during the testing. The only clothing that must be removed are your shoes an stockings. F.D.A. approved, the testing is safe and gentle.

Who Can Benefit from A Bodyscan?

Anyone wanting to improve the quality of their health and life, or for more specific uses such as to enhance sports performance. Tennis pro, Martina Navrotilova, has used a less advanced, earlier version of this approach as part of her overall health program under the direction of Dr. Whitcomb, M.D., in Colorado.

For those who feel they have not responded adequately to conventional medicine, Dr. Cohen's particular success with "tough cases" approaches the legendary. Celebrities and leaders have consulted him simply because his methods are effective, and in no small part due to his expertise with the Bodyscan. Time and again, utter skeptics are surprised by what appears to be Dr. Cohen's odd ability to tell THEM what's bothering them before they say a word about why they've come to him. At times, it's humorous, because the Bodyscan will often indicate to him problems you may have had years ago that you've never even mentioned to anyone. It happens often enough for a rational mind to realize that the galvanic response measurement value of the Bodyscan ends up outstripping its renown as a biofeedback therapy device.
