The BEST System Testing

The BEST System by BioMeridian provides a new perspective on the overall state of the body's health. Because stress is such a potent contributor to many of the conditions that affect health, this powerful system is an invaluable tool for gathering and interpreting stress-related information.

The BEST System is used to conduct a comprehensive body stress assessment and to determine appropriate ways to achieve healthy energetic balance. The first step in this process is to measure electrical conductivity at responsive points on the skin, typically on the hands and feet. The locations of the test points are generally the same as those of acupuncture points. These measurements are recorded to help provide a profile of a patient's present condition. As a patient moves toward or away from health, the condition of any particular organ or system can be sensed at representative points.

Major groups of points are connected through channels, or meridians. Twenty of these meridians begin or end on the hands and feet. As a result, stress associated with the corresponding organs may be surveyed using the indicated points.

Once the initial measurements have been taken and recorded, the results are reviewed. If stress values are above or below equilibrium, the System's extensive computer database will allow consideration of a wide range of possibilities that might help regain a health balance, either through herbs, homeopathy, or nutritional remedies. In addition, it can allow consideration of possible reasons why the body is out of equilibrium, once again suggesting homeopathy to regain balance.

The BEST System provides a completely non-invasive method for gaining valuable information about the body's vital functions. The primary objective of this Meridian Stress Assessment (MSA) procedure is to disclose patterns of stress and to provide feedback for use in a program to restore each system and meridian to an appropriate balance.

The BEST System body stress assessment does not provide a medical diagnosis. A patient should consult with his/her physician who can provide a diagnosis.
