Dr. Voll highlighted that when an
initially measured-maximum value decreases and
stabilizes at a lower reading, it is characterized what
he called an indicator drop (ID). The ID could
be the most critical sign for detecting physiological
abnormalities. According to his theory, when the
bioelectric conductance of organs or systems is
unable to maintain a stable current, and a new balance
is established at a lower-reading level, the
functionality of those organs and systems might
be impaired. However, a stable reading of 50 shows that
organs or system being tested are in balance and
normally functioning whereas readings progressively
going toward 100 indicate the presence of inflammatory
processes.
Later, Dr. Voll noticed that his
patients’ readings could be suddenly improved when they
held vials of homeopathic medication in their hands.
The opposite happened when remedies were removed. Dr.
Voll also observed that to obtain the ideal measurement
of 50, the dosage of the medication needed to be
adjusted. According to him, the phenomenon of medicine
testing occurs due to the electromagnetic
characteristics of the medications, which cause
reactions in the energetic level of body.
The use and accuracy of EDST is
biophysically based on bio-energy and
bio-information. All living beings produce energy.
Such power is embedded with biological information that
travels throughout the organism. For instance, cells
produce informational energy whenever they perform their
specialized tasks for the organs to function. Therefore,
there is a direct relationship between the quality of
organ function and the energy generated.
According Dr. Tsui, Chinese medicine
believes that bio energy, so-called chi, is
generated in the internal organs and flows throughout
the meridians, which are channels near the skin surface.
There are a number of acupuncture points on the
meridians where the flow of the energy can be
manipulated. The stimulation of these points by various
means affects the flow of energy and produce secondary
effects on related organs and systems. Therefore,
diagnostic systems based on EDST portray the same
basic design and share functional use. She explained
that the core of the device is an ohmmeter that delivers
between 10 to12 microamperes of direct current varying
from 1.00 to 1.25 volts. In most EDST machines,
the meter reads from 0 to 100 in order that the standard
resistance of the skin reads 50 with zero representing
infinite resistance and 100 indicating the absence of
resistance.

Several researchers (Lam & Tsuei, 1983;
Rossman & Popp, 1986;
Sullivan, Eggleston & Martinoff, 1985) have performed
controlled studies, which demonstrate significant
correlation between pre-diagnosed pathology and the
pathological index on relevant meridians measured by the
EDST machine.

INITIAL
SESSION AND FOLLOW UPS
During the course of the initial one-hour
session done by Dr. Maltais or our technician, the
patient will experience both the visual and auditory
aspects as the device scans body systems. This scan
forms a basis from which the individual’s health
concerns may be correctly identified. You will be
scheduled for a follow up with Dr. Maltais to go over
your results. An individualized treatment plan will be
initiated. You will be rescheduled with our technician
approximately 4 weeks after the start of your treatment
plan to follow-up the areas that were identified and
measure the improvements you have gained.
