VEGAtest method (Vega in vitro test method, Vega method)

Variation of applied kinesiology developed by Helmet Schimmel, M.D., D.D.S., a German. Purportedly, it is a "bioenergetic evaluation system" for revealing "disturbance patterns" in a patient's "electro-magnetic acupuncture system." Its theory posits Qi ("inherent human bioenergy"). The VEGAtest method features an alleged multipurpose "kinesiologic muscle test" (see "muscle testing") whereby practitioners purportedly can: (a) learn the "key toxin" causing bodily problems, and (b) select "proper" homeopathic "remedies." Apparently, practitioners use portable instruments that reportedly measure skin conductivity and allegedly can help in the location of areas of "energetic imbalance or weakness."
