How 90 minutes with Dr. Brown can have you ready to guide your elimination diet.
Hundreds of satisfied patients!
After an 30 or 60 minute initial assessment, you are eligible to book a 90 min appointment for EDS organ screen and food sensitivity.
Knowing your food sensitivities can help reduce:
headaches
joint pain
heartburn
bloating
gas
pain
nausea
fatigue
brain fog
constipation
diarrhea
anxiety
skin rashes like eczema, psoriasis, hives
Electrodermal screening (EDS) is simply a biophysical method
of measuring skin resistance and electromagnetic conductance.El
EDS is suitable for all ages.
It is not advisable if you have a pacemaker.
EDS doesn't require a blood draw. It uses a mild, and for most, non detectable electrical current.
After your 30 or 60 minute initial assessment, your 90 minute EDS session will give you results in the same day.
Food intolerance can be due to enzyme defects (inability to break down food components), pharmacological activity (aggravation) and immunological reactions (celiac, allergy). Food intolerance can follow a parasitic infection, bacterial or fungal overgrowth, hepatitis, or other major infection. Infection and imbalance can be corrected with antimicrobials, prebiotics and probiotics, while abstaining from the offending foods. The key is identifying the foods that currently bother the body.
One form of food sensitivity testing is to use electrodermal screening. It essentially measures the nervous system’s response to the food. The test is conducted by having a wave form of the food is passed through the acupuncture meridian to see if there is resistance in the body.
There are over 500 points on the body that correspond to organ health. In the organ screen we use 40 of the points which are located near rich nerve endings on the fingers and toes. A reading of 45-55 shows good health, over 66 is stressed and 40 or below is weak. Doing the organ screen ahead of the food testing gives insight into the current electrical conductance of the body, hydration status, infection, inflammation or chronic disease status.
Detection of internal events by electrical changes in the skin is well a well-accepted tool for medicine. The EDS is not Health Canada approved to diagnose or treat anything, however it is very useful to give a window into the electrical balance within the body and helps guide an elimination diet.
What most are not familiar with are numerous points on the skin that correspond to other organs. Acupuncture uses this theory regularly as small openings in the fascia expose a wealth of nerve fibres that can be stimulated to correct imbalances in the corresponding organ. This system of medicine has been used to bring balance in health for thousands of years.
Dr. Reinhold Voll helped advanced this theory in the 1950's when he applied a small electric current to acupuncture points and received a similar response to acupuncture. Dr. Voll mapped numerous sites on the skin to their corresponding organs and called the process electro dermal detection, or electrodermal screening (EDS); electromagnetic waves transferred from the site of origin of the frequency, to the detection site on the skin.
Most are aware and have used one or more of the following similar measurement devices:
Electrocardiogram (EKG) - electrical conduction of the heart
Electroencephalogram (EEG) - electrical conduction in the brain
Oximeters- pulse-rate monitors- electrical conduction at the finger tips/ nail bed
Digitized blood pressure devices- electrical conduction at the arteries
Your results are used to guide an elimination diet. Most foods your body will be fine with in moderation day to day. Others you will need to rotate, reduce or possibly remove. Finally, there will be some that you will need to eliminate for a period of about 3 months, then reintroduce one at a time to clearly observe your body's response. This test will help you understand if you just need a break from a food, need to heal your gut before its ready for a more diverse diet, or are truly intolerant.
After your 30 or 60 minute initial assessment, your 90 minute Food Sensitivity and Organ Screen session will give you results in the same day.
