Dr. VOLL discovered
in the fifties that the values of conductance, i.e. the capacity to let
the current pass at the level of the acupuncture points, vary according to
the state of the body, depending whether it is or not reached by a disease.
For Dr. VOLL, these electromagnetic signals reflect the cellular metabolism;
this “cellular energy” altering according to the health of the
cells. With an ohmmeter, the Dr. VOLL managed to establish cartography of
the points of conductance which also includes the points of acupuncture. During
years, Dr. VOLL and his colleagues systematically noted the correspondences
between the measured points and the pathology of their patients, thus specifying
the parts of the organs corresponding to each point of his cartography. He
obtained twice in six years (1979 and 1984) the highest distinction for services
rendered to humanity for his work related to electro-acupuncture.
In traditional
acupuncture, there are 12 bilateral meridian lines and 2 median meridian lines.
In the E.A.V. the concept of meridian line becomes a larger notion of “vessels”
corresponding to the various organs and viscera, but also to functions which
are:
- the lymphatic
system (circulation and ganglia),
- the nervous
system including neurovegetative (nervous degeneration),
- osteo-articular
phenomena (articular degeneration),
- the fibro-conjunctive
tissue,
- organic degeneration,
- skin,
- metabolism of the
lipids (of fatty tissue degeneration).
The goal of
the E.A.V. is to establish an early functional diagnosis of the organs and
tissues by the energetic study of the human body then to carry out a treatment
starting from the method of the “test of the drugs”, by using
a homeopathic instigated product, in particular of the nosodes. The test of
Bach’s flowers or essential oils is also possible; these two processes
allow to bring back the abnormal conductance of a point to an average value,
considered as normal. This technique is used by 15% of the German doctors
who collaborate with the dental surgeons because the technique includes also
the dental hearths which
can act remotely on the organs.
The energetic balance
that one can draw up by the measure of points, permits to diagnose the problem
of the patient’s but also to detect diseases at an early stage. The
test of the drugs allows more targeted prescription.
The control of the “pathological”
points, after correction (homeopathy, acupuncture, electro-stimulation, osteopathy,
allopathy…), allows to see whether the treatment was efficient. On the
reliability level of VOLL’s meridian lines in daily practice, the points
in connection with the lymphoid structures seem real to us, because the measurements
taken daily on the patients show a good agreement with their pathology; in
the same way, for allergic, neurological, degenerative or osseous pathologies.
It is impossible, here, to list the localization of all the traditional points
of acupuncture and those added by Dr. VOLL (refer to the “Atlases”
of VOLL or the “Bases of the organometry according to VOLL” by
Leonard). However we will give the main and the most significant of it to
obtain a complete energetic balance. The most informed will be able to find
reference works treating with the E.A.V.
