The Biomeridian uses information from your acupuncture meridian system to detect imbalances. Each acupuncture meridian represents an organ or group of organs. I take readings from acupuncture points on the ends of your fingers and toes using a probe. No needles are involved. The reading indicates whether the organ system is stressed, balanced or weak. Stress indicates inflammation or overwork. Weakness indicates fatigue or degeneration.
Supplement and Herbal protocols are often recommended based on the assumption that everyone needs certain supplements in certain amounts. Patients come to me frustrated with this approach. They invested money and time in an extensive program that did little for them.
Where does it originate from?
Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) instruments also known as Electro Dermal Screening or Electro Acupuncture (EAV) have been used widely in Europe and all over the world for over 35 years. The origination of this amazing device is credited to Reinhold Voll. He was a German MD who, developed an electronic testing device for finding acupuncture points in the early 1950’s. Which then began a lifelong search to identify the electrical resistance in acupuncture points to show how the changes relate to disease states. Voll was successful; he found that patients with lung cancer had abnormal readings on the acupuncture point relating to the lung. Researchers from UCLA and USC have verified these results.
How it Works
The Bio Meridian Stress Assessment test uses the Galvanic Skin Response (similar to a lie detector) to measure electrical resistance at various acu-points which represent the organs, glands and systems of the body.
When we combine Chinese Medicine and Western Technology in this way it allows us to conduct an interview with the body ~ identifying imbalances in the energy flow and offering natural alternatives to achieve optimal health. By using the body’s energy field (Chi), at skin level of the predetermined acupuncture meridians, it is possible to analyze the energetic cause of physical problems.
Why is MSA Testing Important?
DIS-EASE and ILLNESS and PAIN states exist in the body’s electromagnetic 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. A virus will likely not manifest into a cold or flu until your immune system has been weakened. The Bio Meridian will identify which systems have a low energy and which ones are under stress in order that you may act now to prevent weaknesses and DIS-EASE from developing to disease.
Who Can be Tested?
MSA 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, MSA testing is for you.
What Do I have to do?
No. Meridian Stress Assessment is a pain free and non-invasive screening technique where you hold a brass rod in one hand while the MSA technician touches the tip of a brass probe on specific points on your other hand or foot.
What can the Stress Assessment help with?
- Pain Management – Injury, Arthritis, Chronic Pain
- Weight control
- Stress management
- Allergies
- Fatigue
- Diet
- Provides nutritional evaluations and suggestions for helping clients meet their nutritional needs.
- Food sensitivities
- Chronic conditions
- Perform rapid, painless sensitivity and “end point” evaluations for items such as epidermal irritants, foods, inhalants, molds, pollen, etc.
- Headaches / Migraines
- Supplement fine tuning
- Environmental toxins
- Identify areas of energetic stress that are associated with disease processes
- Emotional balance
- Balancing meridian stress enables one to enjoy a more balanced, energetic state
- And much more
Acne
Acne is often a sign of clogged detoxification pathways and blood sugar imbalances. A minimally processed whole foods diet and a balanced nutrition program aimed at improving detoxification and supporting the pancreas often leads to clearer skin.
Allergy and Sinus Problems
Clearing molds and mold toxins from the meridian system is a key to relieving allergies. This is typically done homeopathically. The adrenal glands often need support.
Anxiety and Depression
Flower essences, homeopathy and supplements to support brain chemistry are often helpful. Adrenal, thyroid and reproductive hormones must be balanced.
Asthma, RSV and Recurrent Respiratory Infections
Respiratory problems, especially in young children, often improve when then meridian system is detoxified of infectious or vaccination influences.
Fungal Conditions
Homeopathy is a key to shifting the tendency toward fungal conditions without liver toxic medications. A minimally processed, whole foods diet that avoids concentrated sugars is essential.
Heart Disease
Patients who have suffered a heart attack or stroke usually need their medicines, but often don’t feel well on them. The heart meridian is almost always severely stressed or weak. I create the program around the patient’s medications. Most patients feel better on their medications and have fewer side effects.
IBS, Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis
Clearing microbial influences from the meridian system and reducing the tendency toward inflammation is a key to relieving bowel issues. This is typically done homeopathically. The meridian system is often stressed by gluten and casein, despite normal laboratory tests.
Learning and Behavioral Problems
Learning and behavioral problems often improve when then meridian system is detoxified of infectious, vaccination or heavy metal influences homeopathically. Cranial Osteopathy is very helpful.
Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue
My protocol for Lyme Disease and Chronic Fatigue addresses Borrellia, co-infections and reactivated infections homeopathically. It also incorporates Dr. Zhang’s herbs. Lower doses are used and patients rarely “herx.” Heavy metals, hormone balance, gut and brain inflammation are also addressed.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and other Autoimmune Disorders
Homeopathy and specific organ support with hormones, herbs and nutritional supplements is often helpful.
Self-Limiting Infections such as Colds, Influenza and Stomach Flu
These infections typically stress the heart meridian. Homeopathy can reduce the duration and severity of colds and flu. Cumulative stress on the heart meridian eventually lowers resistance to disease. Treating self-limiting conditions this way keeps your resistance strong.
Well-being and Prevention
A balanced nutrition program can keep you well and healthy. Stress can appear in the meridian system long before it ever shows up physically. A balanced nutrition program can clear these tendencies before they manifest as disease.
BioMeridian Quality Assurance
Meeting the FDA's Quality System Requirements (Good Manufacturing Procedures) goes beyond testing products for compliance in the US and abroad. It means that companies must have an acceptable Quality Assurance system in place that meets specific FDA requirements. It means that we must implement and use this system on a daily basis. It includes, but is not limited to, the following items: device design specifications, product labeling, packaging specs, policy objectives, management responsibility, quality plan, quality audits, design review, design validation, document control, purchasing controls, approved vendors, inspection, corrective and preventative action, etc. Everyone at BioMeridian plays a role in the Quality System. Everyone, from management to the smallest vendor, is responsible and proud to build the finest quality product.

What people are saying?
“There is no question that the 21st century has arrived and any practitioners who utilize this technology will find themselves in demand and practicing medicine very successfully.” - Bruce H. Shelton, MD, MD(H), DHom
“Over the past several years, I have used this technology to help hundreds of patients solve their health problems. It’s an excellent tool that has helped eliminate the guesswork.” - Bryon Rosquist, DC
“Testing patients for allergies and chemical exposure used to be a time-consuming and often difficult task. This technology has enabled us to do this and far more.” - Pauline Rose, RN, MN, SWNA
“I think this is an invaluable tool. It gives us clues to what is going on that regular blood tests or a history doesn’t. It is extremely sensitive.” - John Limehouse, DVM
