biomeridian testing
What are your thoughts on bio meridian testing? I’ve just recently had this test done on me and had to throw out quite a few supplements that apparently don’t work for me, according to this machine. I even had to throw out my aahc and turkey tail mushroom for my hpv that I’m worried about… I’m skeptical about this machine, but I’m desperate to optimize my health and live longer… this is the 4th holistic doctor I’m seeing and thousands of dollars later, this guys seems to know what he’s talking about. However, the pills even you recommend on your page are no good for my system and therefore don’t have the results they intend to have.. I would say the machine seems accurate, as it tells you even how many pills is right for my body. For example, I have a magnesium supplement that I take at night and I only take 1, but for a week I decided to take 2 magnesium’s to help me sleep better, but I wasn’t feeling good and had a lot of acid reflux. So I went back to only consuming 1 magnesium a night. And the biomeridian test actually showed that I can only have 1 pill and went off the charts after 1 pill. So it seems correct, but the supplements I’m on now (like bovine immunoglobulin) I’m not sure if human blood even benefit from.. so anyways, I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this device. It’s hard to find a good information on it on YouTube and Google. But this holistic doctor explained it really well and his staff has even said that plenty of people have come in with incurable Diseases and were cured… -

Hey ,
Personally, I have no experience with biomeridian testing. I know what it is and I know there isn’t much research about it. To me, this is an essential part of how I give my clients advice. I’m also a Tai-chi teacher, and in eastern medicine, I have some trust (but it does depend on the doctor!). However, I studied physics and astronomy as well and let me explain why there are divided reasons into scientific communities about devices that measure energy in general.
The terms spiritual energy and energy in physics aren’t the same. This can create a syntax discussion. Physicists consider energy as something you can’t measure. We can only measure the effects of energy. Let me give a few examples:
• A moving car has kinetic energy. But we can’t measure the energy, but we do measure the speed and we can calculate the kinetic energy the car has.
• A laser can shoot light (or photons) on a surface and create heat. The laser has an energy we can calculate from the light we measure or the heat that it creates, but we can’t measure energy directly.
• Thunder and lightning have energy, but we can only measure sound and the light that is created as a result of the electrons that jump from a cloud to the surface of the earth.A device used for biomeridian testing will probably measure potential differences as a result of free-moving electrons. Materials that move these free-moving electrons well are conductors, while materials that move electrons badly are called isolators.
Fat for example doesn’t guide electrons well and is a good isolator, while a little water with a salty solution (like water on a salty skin or sweat) conducts really well. Therefore the results can be influenced by wet skin or a salty skin. Because of this, a device like this isn’t going to ‘see’ the inside of the body really well.
Another argument that is often used for explaining such devices is that the device can measure frequencies of vitamins and minerals. Theoretically, it can be done, but it is very very hard and it requires very sensitive equipment. Minerals are often bound in molecules. For example, 70 percent of iron in the body is bound to hemoglobin. But to measure those frequencies requires a really deep understanding of how the molecule is built as well. On top of that free iron and iron stored in other molecules probably resonate on different frequencies. From a scientific point of view, we are far away from that type of accuracy.
That being said, these are rationals – not scientific facts. I do know people who really benefited from sort like methods like bioresonance for example. I also know people who didn’t benefit at all. It might be that the mechanism of action isn’t described by the current science. Skilled holistic practitioners can also use their many backgrounds in their advice. But since there isn’t a lot of literature on the topic, I myself often recommend other methods.
Magnesium, supplements and abnormal reactions in the body
In practice, we see that everyone can respond a little differently to supplements. There can be genetic differences. The origin of your symptom may not yet be fully understood and magnesium might not have been the right approach. Perhaps you can share more about your symptoms and the results of the tests you did. We might be able to shed another light on your situation!Acid reflux
Acid reflux can be caused by quite a few things. I mentioned there might be more reasons causing you to have acid reflux besides a magnesium deficiency. Did you for example consider:
• A hiatal hernia? This is when the stomach is partly pushed through the diaphragm.
• Food sensitivities?
• An insufficiency in zinc? Or vitamin B1?
• Are you a fast eater? Eating fastly can also cause acid reflux. A magnesium supplement won’t be able to help then.
• Medications? If you are on any, some medications can contribute to acid reflux. Proton pump inhibitors can for example cause low stomach. When people have a reduction in stomach acid, the acid can sometimes leak back into the esophagus if the LES(lower esophageal sphincter) doesn’t close well.NSAIDs can irritate the mucus layers causing damage and an increased sensitivity to stomach acid. Medications that are prescribed for osteopenia/osteoporosis can cause damage to the stomach lining.
• A slow thyroid? A slow thyroid can cause low stomach acid as well
• H. Pylori? An overgrowth of this bacteria is often the cause of ulcers. Ulcers in the stomach usually leads to lower stomach acid production. However, if the ulcer is in the duodenum, it could cause the overproduction of stomach acid. Usually, this type of ulcer is more rare, but it happens.
• Did you ever had surgery on the stomach? Surgery can also be a root cause.Common triggers of acid reflux are also well documented. Foods like alcohol, spicy foods, peppery foods, tomato sauce, citrus juices, coffee, black tea, things with mint (also consider toothpaste, chewing gum, mints and tea here!), chocolate and fried foods all can trigger acid reflux.
Stress can also be a big root cause of acid reflux. How would you describe your stress levels currently? Are you sitting down for dinner and are you able to eat slowly?

as Daniel mentioned, there isn’t much research on such devices but I will say that science is often late to the party. And the absence of scientific proof does not mean a theory or technology does not hold truth.
The only experience I’ve had with energy medicine is bioresonance, and I’m not sure if that’s the same as biomeridian testing. Bioresonance in my experience (personally and with clients) has been hit or miss, both in terms of assessments and treatments. It seems to have a higher success rate with treating food sensitivities/allergies. I will not discount the benefits that some receive however, so if it’s something that you resonate with, and are seeing benefits from, then by all means continue.
Personally however, I will only recommend energy medicine when all else fails, and if finances allow, because there’s no harm in trying.If your doctor has any literature he can share, please ask for it so we can all learn. I’m always open to these possibilities.

Is this the same as biofield testing?

I am unfortunately unfamiliar with the exact details of biofield testing. I guess there are parallels, but I don’t know enough about the details!
