/ VEGA Testing

VEGA Testing

VEGA testing is a type of electro-acupuncture that is non-invasive. It was developed in Germany years ago by a number of physicians, dentists and physicists. The German doctors recognized the value in using information from the biochemical and biophysical processes in the body. The technique was developed in 1953 by Dr Voll. It was further refined by Dr Schimmell, DDS and MD into the VEGA and the PRT. Both of which we use in our office. The testing is painless, involving no needles, or scratches. The VEGA test results are always used in conjunction with other clinical observations and tests performed by the doctor or a clinical assistant.

In our clinic we use the VEGA test method for testing for food, chemical, phenolics, and inhaled sensitivities as well as the condition of organs, immune system and vitamin and mineral status.

The procedure measures changes in skin resistance at an acupuncture point. We measure the response in micro amps. The change in the micro amps informs the doctor of the degree to which the body is impacted or stressed.

The doctor bases their assessment on the consultation conversation, evaluation of signs and symptoms, patient history, family history, physical examination. They use the VEGA test method to assist in the fine tuning of their assessments and treatment plans. They will test for the compatibility of medications with all of their patients. This allows them to develop an effective, compatible and comfortable treatment plan individualized specifically for you.

Some of the testing we offer using the Vega Machine

  • Food and Food Chemical Testing – The VEGA machine is used to test over 150 foods and food chemicals.
  • Pollens Testing – Vega machine is used to test for pollens such as trees, shrubs, and grasses.
  • Molds Testing
  • Inhalant Testing – The Vega machine is used to test for inhalants such as dust and animal dander.
  • Phenolic Testing – Phenolic is the general term that applies to groups of chemicals having a common molecular structure. When found in the external environment, these compounds can colour, flavour, and preserve food. Internally they are known as neurotransmitters and hormones. We have found that you can have an autoimmune like reaction to these chemicals, acting like an allergy creating a variety of symptoms. If the source of the phenolic is external it can cause reactions to pollen, molds, chemicals, and inhalants. We may recognize this as seasonal allergies. Reactions to these phenolics can also trigger asthma or chronic rhinitis. Reactions to your own neurotransmitters may contribute to a variety of neurological problems, mood disorders or mental health issues. Symptoms like anxiety, obsessive behavior, sleep disturbances or ADD/ADHD. You can have reactions to your own hormones. Hormones like thyroid, estrogen, progesterone. These reactions trigger dysregulation of the endrocrine system and symptoms like PMS, hot flashes, acne or infertility.

Once we have determined what items you react to we can use MORA Therapy to desensitize you to the offending substances.
