Sensitivity Testing
using BEST Computerised Health Screening
What
is BEST Computerised Health Screening?
The BEST/MSAS system represents the latest in 21st century
health screening technology combined with acupuncture
principles. This computerised, high tech electro dermal
screening instrument is non-invasive, safe and quick
with a detailed computer printout at the end of screening.
This can then form the basis for improving your health.
Tests
available:
Food intolerance
Vitamin and Mineral deficiencies
Hormone balance
Environmental sensitivities
Food
intolerances, nutritional deficiencies and hormone imbalance
can be responsible for many well known symptoms including
weight gain, headaches, tiredness, eczema and related
skin disorders, joint pains, food cravings, insomnia,
digestive problems, e.g. IBS, bloating and gas to name
but a few. Some common health problems caused by environmental
sensitivities are hay fever, sinusitis, skin rashes,
seasonal rhinitis and eczema.
Health is the body's natural state but it is heavily
influenced by many stresses including structural, nutritional,
emotional and environmental. We aim with the use of
this sophisticated system to get a picture of the internal
and external factors affecting your body. Armed with
this specific information we can address your particular
needs and treat you holistically.
How
does the BEST System screening work?
To
perform the screening we use an instrument called the
MSAS (Meridian Stress Assessment System) instrument.
It takes readings of minute electrical changes over
acupuncture points to determine imbalances and sensitivities
within the body.
The process involves pressing a small metal probe at
points on the fingers. It is non-invasive, safe and
painless. The computer sends a resonance signal of the
item being screened, for example, a food, to the client,
who will only feel the sensation of the probe touching
the skin. The computer compares readings between the
client and the substance and records resonance or non-resonance.
At the end of the screening a full colour printout is
provided of all the items tested. Most people are lacking
some nutrients and are sensitive to a number of foods.
In the light of the test results, together with background
information from the client, we are able to evaluate
the results and make recommendations on foods, nutrients,
healing remedies and lifestyle. After only a few weeks,
there is usually considerable improvement in a condition
and by following this up with a further screening and
consultation in three months, the progress can be monitored
and a revised plan formulated.
What
do I need to do before my appointment?
Drink
two litres of water the day before your visit.
Bring details of any medication and vitamins which you
are presently taking. The tests will not interfere with
any medication except a pacemaker.
If you are having a consultation as well as the screening
arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment to fill
in a health questionnaire or arrange to complete this
prior to your visit.
