Bioenergetic Testing
 
At Mississauga Bioenergetics, Bernadette carries out bioenergetic testing using a computerised testing system to measure the energy of the body at various acupressure points. Bioenergetic testing uses galvanic skin response measurements to quickly and non-invasively determine the energetic balances and imbalances within various bodily systems, providing the practitioner with an important tool to restore your health. Bioenergetic testing can detect low-level reactions within your body and also indicate nutritional, supplementation or homeopathic remedies which can be used to bring about an energy balance. There are no side-effects, no discomfort and no electrical impulses are felt.
 
Sceptics are usually convinced less by the science than by the accuracy of the skilled practitioner in administering and correctly interpreting the measurable responses from bioenergetic testing.

Bioenergetic Testing at Mississauga Bioenergetics
 
Most people only think about healthcare when they are experiencing symptoms or a lack of health. The factors that create illness are often part of your environmental or biological terrain long before symptoms develop. At Mississauga Bioenergetics, Bernadette combines conventional nutritional assessment with state-of-the-art Bioenergetic Testing technolgy to assist you in maintaining good health before developing painful or uncomfortable symptons, as well as addressing the underlying causes of symptoms that have already developed.
 
This technology is similar to the Polygraph, Electrocardio-gram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG), and other technologies that measure electrical energy of the body.  It is not used to diagnose or treat disease as defined by conventional medicine, however many doctors recommend it.  Bioenergetic testing allows early detection of tendencies toward disease, toxicity and imbalances due to various types of stress before they become outwardly manifested.
 
The process involves measuring electrical conductivity by touching on acupuncture points (meridian points) on the hands and feet using a handheld stylus. The results of testing are recorded and assessed by a sophisticated software program.  Once energetic imbalances are identified,  Bernadette will recommend appropriate foods, remedies, and /or lifestyle changes to help you reach optimum health.
 
Bioenergetic testing takes the guesswork out of what your
body needs or doesn't like, and can tell you and your health
practitioner more about the current state of your body's health. It can assess the effectiveness of supplements and treatment protocols you are currently undertaking. It provides you with immediate results in the form of a computerized printout of your test results and can assist with remedy suggestions for the correction of any energy imbalances.
 
In addition to the standard 60 point functional assessment that is a standard component of an Initial Consultation with Bernadette, Mississauga Bioenergetics offers an extensive range of Bioenergetic Testing Protocols for a wide range of concerns. Please see the Services page for more details, or contact Bernadette to discuss any concerns or questions.
 
 
Bioenergetic Testing is NOT a medical procedure and is not used for medical diagnosis. Bernadette does not test prescription medications under any circumstances.
 
 
 
Biomeridian MSAS-Professional
 
Many functional or energy medical devices are based on the research of Dr. Reinhard Voll, who established that there is a network of energy channels, called meridians, suffusing the body. In the 1950s, Dr. Voll (of Germany) designed a metering device for electrically measuring acupuncture points. Due to his extensive research, Voll is considered to be the father of Bioebergetics - also known as EAV Testing (Electro Acupuncture according to Voll). Dr. Volls device enabled him, as well as other practitioners, to locate and correct the source of energy imbalances. Modern devices such as the Biomeridian MSAS-Professional have now improved upon his principle by the addition of computerization.
 
Meridian points, some of which correlate to acupuncture points, can be used to collect energetic data (what we call Bioenergetic Testing). The electrical impedance is measured and recorded, at the acu-point, in order to provide the practitioner with information on potential energetic issues. The actual testing process is completed by applying a small (and indetectable to the subject) electrical current to specific acu-points. Different organs are associated with different energy meridians, and health problems in various organs are believed to manifest themselves as energetic disturbances in the associated meridians. Practitioners can suggest treatments to bring these energetic disturbances back into balance.
 
 
 
Bernadette uses the Biomeridian MSAS-Professional device for Bioenergetic Testing. The MSAS-Professional is the worlds premier testing tool for measuring the bodys electrical conductivity variations along acu-points on the skin. Using the electronic probe, the MSAS-Professional reads the energetic value at the meridian points and transmits that signal to the computer. The associated computer software creates a graphic display for practitioners to evaluate and for clients to review, helping them better understand the energetic readings of their body.
 
 
 
 
The MSAS-Professional does not provide a medical diagnosis. If clients feel they need a medical diagnosis, they should consult with their licensed medical doctor. If you have an existing medical condition, you should always check with your licensed medical doctor before making any nutritional or lifestyle changes.

What should I expect during an examination?
 
The initial examination is performed by testing sixty different acu-points on both the hands and the feet which relate back to the energy channels and their related organs, systems, or functions. This testing does not involve needles, only a stylus is used to send a very small electrical current (not a shock) through each point, which is recorded and analyzed by the computer system. Be prepared to sit for up to an hour during this detailed examination, so wear comfortable clothing and relax. While there are hundreds of different acu-points on the human body, we generally use only points on the hands and the feet.
 
How many times will I have to be retested?
 
This will depend on your condition and concerns. Some clients may only need one consultation if they are in good health and have been conscientious about their health and nutrition. Other clients may need repeat visits until balance has been fully restored to all of your energy meridians. How long this will take depends on how far out of balance you are at the time of the initial exam, your compliance with the nutritional regimen recommended for you, and what your personal functional health goals are.
 
Is there anything I should do before being tested?
  • If you are on medication(s), continue to take as prescribed but please make us aware of what you are taking
  • Take your regular supplements as scheduled, again, make us aware of these
  • Do not take herbal, homeopathic or pharmaceutical anti-fungals for 24 hours before the appointment unless medically prescribed
  • Ideally (but only if possible), please fast for at least 3 hours before your test. Let us know when you last ate, and what you had to eat
  • Drink plenty of water before the appointment. Dehydration makes it difficult to get accurate readings
  • Please do not use any perfumes or chemical substances on the day of your appointment - this includes all skin lotions and hand creams
  • Please come to the appointment in clothes that allow easy access to both hands and both feet
  • Before we test your hands or your feet, we will ask you to rinse your feet (and hands) in an apple cider vinegar bath that we provide

What is computerized Bioenergetic Testing?
Computerized Bio-energetic testing takes a measurement of energy at the body’s acupuncture meridians; a sophisticated software program records these readings. The computerized system gives an accurate assessment of the energetic balance or imbalance within the body & tests for a wide variety of sensitivities by accessing a large database. If you experience problems that have not been addressed by other means, then this form of testing will likely be of great help to you.
How the Bio-energetic Testing Process works...
Bio-energetic testing is a galvanic skin response measurement. A stylus is held against the skin on certain points along the acupuncture meridians, which correspond to organs & functional systems in the body. The computer based system records the degree of electrical resistance at each point allowing you to see if the organ or system meridian is balanced. It is a non-invasive test so there is no piercing of the skin or needles. The test is child & adult friendly.
 
This non-invasive system combines ancient wisdom with modern technology and provides a highly accurate method for determining energy distortions as a possible cause for ones ailments. This concept is based on the Chinese theory that improper energy flows through acupuncture meridians cause imbalances and degeneration of the body. Chinese and Japanese physicians have known about this energy flow for thousands of years and deal with this energy system in conjunction with the other body systems. Slowly but steadily, the existence of this energy is becoming accepted by western medicine.
 
Over 3,000 years of Acupuncture has indicated that there are pathways leading to organs and systems from specific points (acu-points) located all over the body. These pathways are referred to as Meridians. Their corresponding acu-points are more conductive than the surrounding area. The last five decades of research has shown that each organ and system of the body has a specific electrical conductivity at its acupint that is reflective of functional health.

Why is Bioenergetic Testing Useful? 
 
Disease states are present in the body’s electro-magnetic field long before they manifest into disease. For example, you may have the common cold virus energetically present in your system but NOT present any common cold symptoms.  It will likely not appear or manifest into a cold until your immune system is weakened. Bioenergetic testing allows you to see which systems have a low energy and which ones are under stress in order that you may act now to prevent weaknesses from developing to disease. 
 
Who Benefits from Testing? 
 
Bioenergetic testing is for everyone, it is non-invasive, virtually painless and safe for people of all ages. Whether you are looking to improve a pre-existing condition through natural means or wanting to take a proactive approach to your health, Bioenergetic testing is for you.
 
Does Bioenergetic Testing hurt? 
 
No. Bioenergetic Testing is a pain free and non-invasive screening technique where you hold a brass rod in one hand while the Bernadette touches the tip of a brass probe on specific points on your other hand or foot
 
Is Bioenergetic Testing a medical procedure? 
 
No. Bioenergetic Testing is NOT a medical procedure and the testing results are not a medical diagnosis in any way, shape or form. If you feel you need a medical diagnosis or you believe you are suffering from a medical condition, you should ALWAYS consult with your licensed medical doctor.
