How does electrodermal screening work?
Electrodermal Screening (EDS) is a form of computerized information gathering which is based on physics, not chemistry. A blunt, non-invasive electric probe is placed at specific points on the patient’s hands, face or feet, corresponding to acupuncture points at the beginning or end of energy meridians. Minute electrical discharges from these points serve as information signals about the condition of the body’s organs and systems.
Electrodermal testing has been used successfully in Europe since 1940’s, originating with the German Electro-Acupuncture technique as developed by Dr. Reinhold Voll (a German physician, acupuncturist and engineer). Dr. Voll established a clear connection between electro-acupuncture points and internal organs, functions and processes.
The procedure involves measuring potential differences (voltage) between a tip electrode held against an electro-acupuncture point and a large surface electrode (hand electrode) held by the patient. The resultant resistance is then measured. The EDS technique is founded on the theory of acupuncture. EDS has shown that acupuncture points bear a direct relationship to a specific anatomical structure or physiological function of the body.

A Note From Ann:
Wellness is the only way to really live. I went through nursing school and still didn’t know how to live healthy, used to get bronchitis, migraines, back pain attacks, tiredness, and lack of endurance to do any physical activity. Since becoming a certified nutritionist and lifestyle educator I feel fulfilled each day helping people. My life intention is to teach people to teach others and lead by example to live in wellness.
Today I help individuals and health professionals incorporate individualized wellness lifestyle education as well as programs to implement in health professional offices.

What is Low-GI Eating?
Low-Glycemic Index eating focuses on how different foods affect your blood sugar level. The Glycemic Index measures foods on a 100-point scale. Low-GI foods produce little or no fluctuations in our blood sugar or insulin levels. This is important because when your blood sugar rises quickly, your body increases insulin production, forcing the body into fat accumulation and storage. Controlling the GI of your foods promotes normal blood-sugar levels and enables the body to stay in a fat-burning mode.
