Subject: Asyra and Blood Chemistry - Drawing from a clinical pool of 1,800 patients, E. Alan Jeppsen, M.D., and Steven G. Osguthorpe, N.D., conducted a double-blind study of over 600 randomly assigned patients, of which 100 were used as control subjects. This study, "Effectiveness of the Asyra in Assessing Sub-Physiologic Thyroid Levels in Women 35 to 65 Years of Age," yielded a 97 percent correlation with blood chemistry.

Subject: Reproducibility of Point Readings - There were 34 subjects measured on two occasions in this study with 44 points measured 4 times on each occasion for a total of 11,968 readings. The results showed a mean deviation of 0.70 respectively. The readings were taken by Mark Galloway a long-time and accomplished practitioner in this field. Nancy R. Roberts, Ph.D., C.

Subject: Allergy Desensitization - Meridian stress assessment seems to be at least as reliable, and probably more reliable, than other forms of allergy testing available. It is much safer than skin or challenge testing, since exposure to an allergenic substance is minimal. It is also much more pleasant for the patient than skin testing, since this form of testing is relatively painless. There are also no unpleasant adverse reactions, which may last for many days with skin or challenge testing. Meridian assessment is usually much less expensive and helps to eliminate trial and error treatment dosages. Dennis W. Remington, M.D. "A History of Meridian Stress Assessment"

Subject: Electrical Skin Conductance in Diagnosis - In clinical practice, EDS instruments are useful as diagnostic supplements to blood tests, radiographic imaging, and case histories historically and currently, EDS instruments characterize differences between inflammatory and degenerative conditions. The integration of reliable and valid bioelectric medical instruments into the clinical setting augments the ability to rapidly evaluate tissues which are difficult or impossible to asses by conventional test procedures.

Subject: The Effects of Gender or Age on Point Readings - This study was done on healthy subjects; 348 males and 135 females were studied for the bioelectric activities of the body using the principles of electro-acupuncture according to Voll. In spite of some variance among testers there were no gender and age effects for all specific points studied. These findings should be important for consideration in using these measurements for medical diagnosis. Studies of Bioenergy in Healthy Subjects by Julia J.

Subject: Bioelectric Homeostasis - A homeostat is a hierarchical regulating structure, which in the process of its action maintains dynamic stability of some physiological parameter of the living organism. Bioelectrical homeostasis forms a first level homeostat that is united into a second level homeostat by the autonomic nervous system. The first level homeostat, bioelectrical, influences control through the autonomic nervous system which is responsible for the equilibrium in the internal systems of the body. Where meridians are regulator-executers that provide information to glands and organs that are regulator-controllers through the autonomic nervous system.
