Medicine’s Magic Wand

December 3, 2006

Patients lie fully clothed while a small electrode “pen” is attached to a finger and another to a toe. The “pen” is connected to the monitor of a regular computer, and within 20 minutes, the doctor is shown graphic data of 15 body systems. The display shows which systems are not functioning properly and whether it is only temporary or a functional and pathological disorder of the internal organs, even at an early stage.

The Medex Test is simple to operate and provides results, with an average accuracy of more than 80%. It can be used on children as young as six and pregnant women.

What’s odd is that doctors cannot explain how it works. “The inventor says it’s based on the principles of reflexology and meridians in the body,” explains Dr. Eyal Zimlichman, an internal medicine specialist who headed the team that tested the device. The device, he adds, has been most accurate in picking up cardiovascular, respiratory, spinal, immune, endocrine, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal disorders, but not brain diseases, apparently because the brain produces its own electrical signals that confuse Medex.

Researchers conclude that it “has the potential to provide the medical community with an additional diagnostic tool that will enable patients suspected of having a malignant growth to be referred for the appropriate follow-up treatment.”

Zimlichman is very enthusiastic about its use. “We think it could effectively be used for screening patients with an unspecific complaint and to assess the efficacy of medical treatment.”
