I’m having problems with foot and hand joint pain for about 6 months now. I’ve gone to a podiatrist who has perscribed physio and it’s working out well. I’ve almost pain free but I’ve talked to other people and they’ve kinda made me realize that physio may just be treating the symptoms and not curing the problem. (Especially since the podiatrist didn’t seem to know what it was and told me to get another referral for my hands from my GP)

Today I went to a Naturo/homeopath person and got a Vega Test done. It’s supposed to detect, through electormagnetic fields, the health of various organs, parasites, viruses etc.

The test was about 15 or so minutes long. I held a metal rod in one hand and the Homeopath used a “stylus” with a metal tip and poked me in the thumb on the other hand. Both the metal rod and the stylus were connected to a machine. This is supposed to create a circut and at the end of the test, the printer will print out a list of problem area and their severity. 0 (healthy) to 21 (severe) is the scale. The people I talked to swear up and down about it’s ability to accurately diagnose unhealthy areas. It’s not more specific than that really.

The results= I’ve got a parasite and a virus. She’s just going to treat the parasite first because that is the one most likely cause of my symptoms. I paid for some natural “drugs” and now have to start a 6 week process to kill this bug. After the medication is finished, I’m supposed to go back to get a follow up test and see if it has cured me of my current problem.

I have to admit, I’m doubtful but I’ll try it and I’ll let you guys know. What do you guys think about Vega testing and or homeopathic treatments? Yay or nay?
