Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)
One of the technologies that we use is ZYTO scan technology. This is a powerful form of functional biofeedback that can read the energy of the body using a non-invasive hand cradle. This scan can be done in-office or virtually. To find out more about the technology behind these scans read on:
What Is Functional Biofeedback?
Everything in existence is energy. Medicine recognizes we are electromagnetic beings and has a long-standing tradition of using diagnostic machines. MRI machines work with magnetic energy. Ultrasound machines use high frequency sound energy. EKGs are an electronic representation of what is in the heart. EEGs are an electronic representation of what is in the brain. Electro Dermal Screening (EDS) technology uses biofeedback to determine where imbalances of energy are in a person. This concept was first discovered by Dr. Reinhold Voll, a german MD in the late 1940’s.
As a person moves away from a healthy state, their energy levels are the first things to be affected. This is when symptoms arise, due to a decreased energy level in a specific area of the body (for example if the energy is low near or in a specific organ, area of cells, tissue, etc). What does this have to do with the body’s function? A decreased level of energy in any part of the body can lead to a functional disturbance. A functional disturbance may not always present itself by means of visible damage to an organ, tissues, or cells in the body. However, they can be warning signs that may indicate that damage could occur in the future if the energy imbalance is not restored.
In order for your body to function at optimum levels, you need to have the proper amount of energy flowing through the different channels. Dr.Voll found a way to measure the energy at acupuncture points on the body. He would use this information in determining what homeopathic would be the most effective. It was very simplistic but he got results.
How Can It Help Me?
Since the late 40’s, technology has made huge advances and EDS has jumped light years forward. Dr. Voll would test a point, get his reading, have the person hold a remedy and retest. If this was a good choice, the energy of the acupuncture point would balance. Now we use a biofeedback device and a very advanced computer program to do the same thing, in a fraction of the time. The person doesn’t have to hold the remedy. EDS has made it possible to digitize thousands of homeopathic signals. These signals are stored in the computer database. When we screen a person, the device sends the signals, your body receives them and we get a reading on how your body’s energy levels responded almost instantly.
At this point, an experienced practitioner analyzes the findings to determine the correct combination. The EDS machine has thousands of built in formulas. In a session, we might go thru 1,000 of them, all of this with the intended purpose of balancing the energy.
Food Scans
Why Important?
Nutrition is all about getting the right food in the right amounts at the right times. However, no single diet plan will be optimal for every person because we are all unique and have different needs. Concepts such as bio individuality and intuitive eating further explain why a diet should fit the individual and not the other way around.
Like these increasingly popular ways of looking at our diets, the ZYTO Foods for Wellness scan takes the muniqueness of the individual into consideration to help people make the best nutritional decisions. Here are a few key ways this food scan can benefit you.
1.Scan foods as balancers
While the previous ZYTO foods scan, or biosurvey, scanned for digital signatures of foods as stressors, the Foods for Wellness biosurvey scans foods as balancers. This change fits with the philosophy of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, who said, “Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food.”
By scanning food signatures as balancers, you can observe what foods are most preferable simply by looking at their dR value. The higher the positive value, the more biologically coherent your body is with that food item. When we look at food in this way, our attitude towards our diet tends to become more positive as opposed to focusing on what we can’t eat.
2.Scan for more than 450 foods
The Foods for Wellness Biosurvey scans for more than 450 food Virtual Items in key categories. The range of foods across these categories creates more opportunities for increasing diversity in your diet:
Beans & Legumes, Beverages, Dairy & Eggs, Fats & Oils, Fish & Seafood, Fruits, Grains, Meats & Poultry, Miscellaneous Foods, Nuts & Seeds, Spices & Seasonings, Sugars and Sweeteners, Vegetables
3.Scan for food stressors

In addition to scanning for a variety of balancer Virtual Items, the Foods for Wellness Biosurvey also scans for stressor digital signatures. These categories include things like food additives, herbicides, GMO foods, pesticides, and endocrine disruptors.
Scanning for foods as stressors allows you to observe areas you may want to pay attention to, whether it’s what is being added to the foods you are eating, or the sources from which you are getting your food.
4.Filter out foods based on diet
Another benefit of this improved food scan is that you can filter out foods based on diet. For example, if you are on a vegetarian diet, you can filter out foods that are not vegetarian. These food Virtual Items will still be scanned, but they won’t show up in the main report.
The ability to filter out these food categories makes reading and understanding the reports much easier. You’ll no longer have to mentally filter out foods you can’t eat when going through the report.
