A device used in electroacupuncture and bioresonance therapy


The Vega machine is a diagnostic device used in electroacupuncture and bioresonance therapy. It is designed to measure the body's electrical responses to various stimuli, which practitioners believe can provide insights into a person's health and potential imbalances.

History[edit | edit source]

The Vega machine was developed in the 1970s by Dr. Helmut Schimmel, a German physician who sought to combine the principles of acupuncture with modern technology. The device is based on the earlier work of Dr. Reinhold Voll, who pioneered electroacupuncture according to Voll (EAV).

Principles of Operation[edit | edit source]

The Vega machine operates on the principle that the body emits electrical signals that can be measured and interpreted. It uses a galvanometer to measure the electrical resistance of the skin at specific acupuncture points. Practitioners believe that changes in electrical resistance can indicate imbalances or dysfunctions in the body.

Electroacupuncture[edit | edit source]

Electroacupuncture involves the application of electrical currents to acupuncture points. The Vega machine uses a probe to deliver a small electrical current to these points, and the response is measured. This method is thought to help identify areas of the body that may require treatment.

Bioresonance Therapy[edit | edit source]

Bioresonance therapy is based on the idea that each cell in the body emits a specific frequency. The Vega machine is used to detect these frequencies and identify any that are out of balance. Practitioners use this information to develop treatment plans aimed at restoring balance and promoting health.

Applications[edit | edit source]

The Vega machine is used by some practitioners to diagnose a variety of conditions, including allergies, food intolerances, and chronic illnesses. It is also used to assess the effectiveness of treatments and monitor progress.

Controversy and Criticism[edit | edit source]

The use of the Vega machine and similar devices is controversial. Critics argue that there is a lack of scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of electroacupuncture and bioresonance therapy. The medical community generally regards these methods as pseudoscientific, and they are not widely accepted in conventional medicine.
