Meridian Health Analysis Thousands of years ago, the Chinese discovered that the body has a communication network, separate from the normal nerve channels, that allows the body to remain in healthy balance. According to the Chinese, the communication network's pathways, which are called meridians, carry the life energy of the body, which they called chi. The life energy or chi traveling along these pathways maintains the health of each organ. These meridians originate from points on the hands and feet. The practice of acupuncture is the science of being able to diagnose blockages in these meridians in order to unblock them and improve health. In the early practice of acupuncture, practitioners did this by feeling various pulses in the body to detect where these blockages were. At Lifeworks Wellness Center, we have a very precise instrument that can actually measure the energy's flow, or lack of flow, in these pathways and so determine where the difficulty lies. The Meridian Health Analysis can then assist us in diagnosis of where an organ may be blocked, and help us to find the correct nutritional remedy to solve the problem. How Does the Meridian Health Analysis (MHA) work? The MHA device is able to indicate the health of the each organ in the body by measuring how well the energy pathway to that organ conducts a very small current. If that current flow is very obstructed, we will get a high reading on the measurement dial. A high reading indicates that inflammation is present in that pathway. If the reading flows too quickly, the reading will be low and indicates degeneration in the organ or pathway. These readings suggest what may be wrong and what remedies might help the body overcome the problem areas. While not generally recognized by the medical community, the MHA was developed for use by holistic physicians to measure energy changes and to identify a non-optimum health situation before actual structural damage occurs. The MHA has also been shown to detect imbalances in the body before they manifest themselves in the form of physical ailments. This can allow you to address an area of imbalance and head off potential illnesses, thereby avoiding lengthy medical treatment and expenses. What Can I Expect During an MHA? You will be seated comfortably in an examination room while the practitioner obtains information about your body by using a pen-like instrument to touch specific points on your hands and feet. It is a painless and non-invasive way to get valuable information about your health. Similar to measuring temperatures with a thermometer, the MHA measures the energy level of an organ or system using a scale of 0 to 100. A reading of 45 to 55 is considered normal. A reading above 55 indicates inflammation, and a reading below 45 suggests degeneration of the area. If a high or low point is found, you will be tested for a nutritional remedy to balance that point and bring it back to a normal energy reading. This testing will allow us to determine the proper remedy and dosage that will help to restore the health of that organ. This process can also be used to test for the presence of contaminants and allergies in the body. Using this device, we can also get an indication if a particular drug, or homeopathic remody or herbal is improving or harming the energy flow to an organ. We often find that a remedy that balances one point will balance others as well. It would be optimal to find one remedy that would adequately balance all unbalanced points. Nonetheless, the goal is to prescribe as few remedies for the patient as possible. How Long Does an MHA Take? On average it takes one and a half hours, depending on what areas are being looked at. How Do I Prepare for the MHA? You should eat well and get a good night's rest. Also make sure you have washed your hands and feet (please don't apply any lotion of any kind before the test). What Can I Expect After the MHA? Once the test is completed, a report will be generated and sent to the doctor to review. An appointment will then be made for you to meet with the doctor to review your test results, at which time you will undergo any indicated medical testing. You will then receive a health program tailored to your specific health needs. Conclusion The Meridian Health Analysis is one of the most thorough, powerful, and promising medical/investigational tools available. It succeeds in addressing your body holistically for a number of reasons: •  A standard MHA examination enables the practitioner to quickly and safely collect information on 40 different individual body systems. •  Using an innovative approach, the MHA seeks to reveal a true description of the condition of the body. •  The Meridian network plays a role in providing a window into every bodily function. •  Remedy testing allows the practitioner to test every type of remedy on the individual patient, allowing the practitioner to explore all types of available treatment and determine possible side effects without risk to the patient.
