Almost simultaneously with Nogier's works reports were written claiming that electric resistance in acupuncture points of
the body is much lower than in other points of the skin. Various electric detectors (stigmascopes, punctoscopes,
microammeters, and ohmmeters) were designed which enabled the easy location of the precise localisation of acupuncture
points on the body. Further electrometric research has shown that the auricle of a healthy person usually has no points with
low resistance. After a disease develops, lower resistance is observed in zones and points of the ear that correspond to the
affected organs or systems.
The Difference Between BIOREPER Method and Other Electropuncture Diagnostics
This new method of electropuncture auricular diagnostics is patented under the name of BIOREPER ("bio" meaning life,
and "reper" meaning the sign or spot which acts as a reference point in geodesy or as a fire adjustment point in artillery).
This method considerably exceeds all other known methods of electropuncture diagnostics in terms of accuracy,
reproducibility of results and concurrence with the clinical diagnosis established on the basis of officially accepted
objective standards of medical examination. The DiaDENS-DT device provides users the opportunity to apply this method
in practice.
Consumers' growing interest in medical devices and reflex diagnostics devices is quite clear, as their practical application
allows the quick exposure of pre-clinical pathological manifestations of acute diseases, and latent symptom-free chronic
pathological processes.
Methods of reflex diagnostics, while being completely harmless to the patient (as opposed to, for example, x-ray or
endoscopic methods), allow for the continuous monitoring of the patient's state of health and expedient decision-making
concerning the effectiveness of treatment. The reflex diagnostics method, which is based on measurement of bioelectric
parameters in acupuncture points is currently the most popular, and the Foil method described above is the best known of
those methods, as is also the method of Japanese doctor I. Nakatani, which is also based on the assessment of energy
meridians.
The method of auricle diagnostics, which has been developing since middle of the last century, allows for the quick
exposure of the centre of disease, the character and the phase of the pathological process. It helps the doctor to choose an
effective medical algorithm using both auricular active points, and active points and zones on the body.
However the majority of known methods of auricular diagnostics, just as methods of meridian diagnostics, do not account
for the variety of factors influencing the electrical conductivity of active points, including conductivity disorders of the skin,
which may depend on a variety of external or internal conditions.
Studies held at the Federal Scientific Clinical Experimental Centre of Traditional Methods of Diagnostics, the Medical
Treatment of the Russian Federation's Ministry of Health, the Faculty of Reflex Medicine and Chiropractics of Moscow
State University of Medicine and Dentistry offer the community of electric reflex diagnostics fans a new method, which
appears to have none of the shortcomings of the previously used methods. The method is based on the tentative estimation
of the general level of electrical conductivity in special reper points with the subsequent relative measurement of all the
necessary points of concern on the auricle. This method has been nicknamed the BIOREPER method, and it enables the
examination of the functions of internal organs and selection of the optimum DENS treatment protocol.
