EAV: A Brief History
Electroacupuncture According to Voll
To understand E.A.V. (Electroacupuncture According to Voll), it is helpful to first learn
some simple principles of Acupuncture. For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used
in the Far East by trained health practitioners. Western cultures started accepting it in the
early 1970's. The human body is energy and has channels of energy, called energy
meridians, connecting it together. In acupuncture, there are areas along these channels of
energy or meridians that have a different electrical conductivity called acupuncture points
which connect all the systems of the body together. These points and channels of energy
can correspond to specific areas, systems and organs of the body. Most of these channels
have control end points located on the ears, hands and feet. We call these specific points
CMPs - control meridian points.
In the 1950's, a German physician, Dr. Reinhold Voll, developed an electrical device called
a dermatron to measure and monitor the conductivity of acupuncture points. Along with
his associates, he started using his instrument to record acupuncture points on patients with
a previous diagnosis. After testing several people, they realized that certain health
conditions corresponded to the readings of his electronic device with great consistency. Dr.
Voll then decided to see if he could determine a person's health using his instrument
without any prior knowledge of the individual's condition. He was very successful, and
called this technique Electro Diagnosis.
Dr. Voll's device had a meter with a scale that went from 0 to 100, with a reading of 50
representing optimal or good health. Above 55 might indicate too much energy or
inflammation; below 45 could indicate low energy or a degenerated condition. He was then
able to monitor the changes of the readings in relation to the patient getting better or worse.
He also discovered that a person's readings would change depending on their state of mind,
structural condition, the food they ate, or the supplements they took.
Currently in many parts of the world, these types of electrical devices are used in doctor's
offices, hospitals and clinics to aid the health practitioner diagnose, monitor, determine
food allergies, or to indicate specific supplements a person might need or use to improve
their condition.
What Is Point Testing or EAV?
EAV is a simple way of testing to see if your body's energy is in balance. The instrument has
a meter that goes from 0 to 100, with a reading of 50 representing the ideal balanced
energy. A range from 45 to 55 would be the normal range of most people. A reading higher
than 60 might indicate too much energy or inflammation in that system. A reading below
40 might show degeneration or low energy.
Basic CMP Points
How can it help you?
EAV has the ability to search to the very root cause of your ill health, energetically
speaking. By using the energetic pathways of your body (Acupuncture Meridians), EAV can
discover past, current or pre-existing conditions and their effects.
Why is EAV for you?
Because you want to live the hightest quality of life possible. Preventive medicine is more
and more becoming the desired method of healthcare. EAV will help to identify where
weaknesses lie in your immune system. With homeopathy, herbs and nutrition, you will
eliminate those weaknesses, and make your body a fortress against illness. Pre-existing
energetic disturbances will be relieved in a similar manor, taking your health to new levels.
