NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCEN ing on the status of its meridian system. A scientist, Dr. William Tiller, described the actions that occur at the acupuncture point when a current is applied. Voll had learned that the body had about 1000 points on the skin which followed twelve lines called meridians. The Chinese said the meridians were channels of energy. Each meridian was a window to the status of an organ sys- tem in the body. As Voll began experi- ments to influence the strength and flow associated with the acupuncture points, he discovered the need for some way to measure the flow. He and Dr. Fritz Wemer created an instrument to measure the galvanic skin resistance (GSR) at the acupuncture points. They established a scale from 0 to 100 with 50 as the normal GSR. Readings above 50 indicated an inflammation of the organ associated with the meridian; readings below 50 indicated a degener- ation. After the first instrument, the K+F Diatherapuncture, Voll developed the Dermatron. Though the actual events occurring during a measurement were not known, the Dermatron became established as a GSR instrument. Voll also established the techniques for using the Dermatron and called it Electro-Acupuncture according to Voll (EAV). The first part of the technique is taking the GSR measurement; the second part is feedback. Voll discov- ered the feedback during a demonstra- tion. After testing a doctor, he recom- mended a remedy for him. Then they stopped for lunch. After lunch Voll continued the demonstration with the doctor, but he soon became puzzled because the doctor's reading was nor- mal though it had been high. Upon questioning the doctor, Voll discovered that he had received the remedy that had been recommended. However, the doctor had not taken the remedy. He carried it in his pocket. When Voll had the doctor place the remedy aside, the reading again was high. Voll discov- ered that he could test the remedies against the points that were not normal. This process of testing different remedies until finding one that brought the reading to a 50 was called "normal- ising" or more appropriately, "optimis- ing". The Life Information System TEN (LISTEN) takes this concept to the point where the energy meridian points are ‘measured’, and a host of different remedies are tested against these read- ings, so as to find the remedy which optimises the original reading. This means that the computer pro- ‘ gramme has in its memory, the 'read- ings of every homeopathic remedy, and the readings for each potency of each remedy, plus the same for. Bach Flowers, vitamins, minerals, herbs, cell salts, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, chemicals, foods, fungi, yeast etc etc. Conclusion: It is now several weeks since my visit to the Hi Tech Health Centre at Byron Bay, and I am still very pleased with my results. I was given lengthy computer read- outs indicating the over or under-activi- ty of my organs, glandular systems, cir- culation, tissue; plus I got a readout of over 150 food reaction readings, (which listed several foods that where unknown to me have detrimental effects on various parts of my body);
