An introduction and simplified overview of Oriental medicine will be presented, as well as an overview of electrodermal testing, for starters. No knowledge of acupuncture is required in order to learn how to use this simple device or to take this workshop. We will demonstrate the state-of-the-art in electroacupuncture diagnostic and biofeedback devices, the EMAS (Electro Meridian Analysis System; see www.hepoch.com). The device and its associated software are user-friendly and offer incredible insight into Oriental interpretations of a person?s condition, even for people untrained in Oriental medicine. The EMAS measures electrical conductivity at 12 hand and foot acupuncture points corresponding to the 12 key meridians, and reveals the energy flow in the meridians. A software analysis then shows results according to the various systems of Oriental medicine. Autonomic nervous system regulation is also indicated. The analysis also reveals various treatment plans ranging from aromatherapy, herbs, foods, various exercises, acupressure, to acupuncture, as well as qigong and self-massage, which are described in detail. Possible Western diagnoses are also described for the energy profiles obtained. Demonstrations using the EMAS device will be made on volunteer participants, and we will measure everyone if time permits. Given sufficient time, we will also take measurements before and after an intervention such as a group qigong exercise, on at least one volunteer to show how the device can be used to monitor pre-post effects of clinical interventions.

The American Medical Students Association hired Dr. Rubik to develop the first medical school curriculum on energy medicine, which was also funded by NIH. In 1996, Dr. Rubik founded the Institute for Frontier Science, a nonprofit research laboratory in Oakland, California to explore subtle energies and energy medicine. In 2002, her Institute was awarded an NIH center research grant to study the human energy field together with scientists at University of Arizona. She and her colleagues have been conducting research on Oriental concepts of subtle energy and practices such as Reiki and qigong. They are building a scientific foundation for understanding the human bioenergy field in health, healing, and optimal performance. Dr. Rubik also has a clinical practice where she advices people on alternative and complementary health practices.
