Diagnosis by the Foll method: a feature

The great diagnostician of the last century, academicianBekhterev wrote that it is good if he made a third of the diagnoses correctly. Symptoms, test results and examinations are the primary information on the basis of which the doctor makes several possible diagnoses. The choice of the closest disease based on the totality of all symptoms is the doctor's verdict, which is not always correct. A trivial example: common rhinitis (runny nose in everyday life) without taking into account allergic causes can be treated indefinitely. Special studies to identify the allergen can indicate a successful and quick way of treatment. New methods and research methods for making correct diagnoses are a constant concern for doctors in all countries. Diagnostics using the Voll method, named after the author, appeared in Germany and reached its peak at the end of the 20th century. The peculiarity of this method lies in the original symbiosis of ancient, thousand-year-old conservative practices of Eastern medicine and modern, rapidly developing science in the field of electrical measurements.

Secrets of the Ancient East on modern instruments

Acupuncture, known in Europe asAcupuncture has thousand-year-old roots in Eastern medicine. Ancient healers believed that there are hundreds of points on human skin that are located in a certain order and are invisibly connected with internal organs. Thin needles are inserted into these points for pain relief and therapeutic effect on the affected organ. In China, in addition to acupuncture, moxibustion is used, that is, the effect of heat at certain points on the skin, achieving a therapeutic effect in the treatment of many diseases. Reynold Voll's guess was that he began to measure very small electric currents in the areas of acupuncture points. The device's readings for healthy and diseased internal organs at acupuncture points differed significantly. The device recorded the healthy state of the organ and the presence of inflammatory processes. Voll introduced the concept of electroacupuncture diagnostic method, which was often called diagnostics by the Voll method. The wide popularity of the method was ensured by the low cost of the equipment and the rapid results of patient studies. Continuing his scientific work, Voll replaced massage and cauterization of acupuncture points with the effect of a weak high-frequency field for the treatment of inflammation. The discoveries in the study of ancient acupuncture with modern devices did not end there. Homeopathy, popular in Germany, found an unusual application in Voll's method. The device "recorded" the positive or useless effect of a medicine if the patient held it in his hands during diagnostics. That is, the device can choose whether a given medicine prescribed by a doctor is "suitable" for treating a disease. The possibility of individual selection of medicines is a very attractive side of diagnostics.

Computer methods and information phenomenon of diagnosis by Voll

The development of computer technology has made its contributioncontribution to diagnostics using the Voll method. Special programs were developed that analyze information from sensors placed on the patient's acupuncture points. Based on the measurement results, the computer offers the doctor options for homeopathic medicines aimed at correcting signals from painful points. The theoretical foundations of Chinese acupuncture are based on the thousand-year experience of healers, but have no modern research justification. The secrets of acupuncture in combination with Dr. Voll's device have only slightly opened the door to the unknown. The phenomenon of information transfer of the properties of homeopathic medicines has not yet been explained. The essence of the phenomenon is that the properties of homeopathic "balls" placed on one electrode are transferred to "empty" balls or liquids placed on the second electrode. The process begins with weak currents. Moreover, the effectiveness of the "transferred" properties is higher than that of the original ones. The theory of information fields is only beginning to develop today. Dr. Voll was ahead of his time, establishing the fact of "transfer" of medicinal properties, but the scientific explanation of this fact is ahead. Computer technologies, playing an auxiliary role in diagnostics using the Voll method, promise to make a breakthrough in this area of the unknown in the near future. Modern doctors use computer tomographs, ultrasound machines, electron microscopes, complex analytical devices for all kinds of research to make a correct diagnosis, but, alas, mistakes are inevitable. Therefore, additional information on the Voll method is a real help in making a correct diagnosis and prescribing effective treatment.
