Electrodermal Screening- Food Sensitivity Testing
What is EDS?
- EDS = Electrodermal Screening.
- EDS is a software-screening device used primarily to test patient’s food sensitivities.
- It does NOT require a blood sample. It does NOT use needles.
- EDS measures electrical currents (“electro”) in the body, using the skin (“dermo”) as the point of contact with the device and software program.
How Does EDS Work?
A blunt, non-invasive electrical probe is placed at specific points on the patient’s hands. Each of these points corresponds to acupuncture points on energy meridians. Minute electrical discharges from these points serve as information signals about the condition of the body’s organs and systems.
- EDS uses a scale of 0 to 100, with 45-55 being ‘balanced’ or ‘normal’.
Are The Results of EDS Accurate?
Although relatively new to Canada this testing system is understood, accepted and widely used in many other countries including Germany, France and England.
- EDS testing is useful as a diagnostic supplement to a patient’s personal and family health history.
- Many people find that the test scores validate what they have suspected about their individual food sensitivities. They also discover un-recognized sensitivities and allergies.
