ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for non-invasively measuring and analyzing bilateral D.C. bioelectric potentials associated with organized electrical field patterns about discrete anatomical sites on the dermal surface (skin) of human subjects for the purpose of generating data for use by medical practitioners in diagnosing existing or impending illness, dysfunction, disease and/or pathology. The apparatus simultaneously measures D.C. potentials at 10 to 14 bilateral dermal sites through multipoint voltage sensing electrodes and develops a maximum bilateral D.C. potential differential value for each sensed point at each sensing site with respect to a ground potential. The apparatus compares the highest differential voltage values of the right body sites with the highest differential voltage values of the left body sites to determine significant voltage value asymmetry between like right-left pairs of sites. The discrete bilateral anatomical dermal sites utilized for potential measurement yield measurably high D.C. bioelectric potentials and each like right-left side pair of sites is connected by deep natural inner body circuitry to a specific inner organ or biological system. If the inner organ or system is functioning in a healthy normal manner the D.C. bioelectric potentials at the electrically connected like bilateral sites approximate each other. If the inner organ or system is functioning in a diseased or abnormal manner the D.C. bioelectric potentials at the sites display a relatively high bilateral voltage variance.
