The ELAST Device(TM) is a patented, non-invasive diagnostic tool that is being designed to accurately diagnose allergies, as well as food and chemical sensitivities, immediately without any of the pain or expense associated with currently employed allergy testing methods. The Device's technology is based upon the clinical observation that the normal flow of electricity in the human body is altered when its immune system immune system Cells, cell products, organs, and structures of the body involved in the detection and destruction of foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Immunity is based on the system's ability to launch a defense against such invaders. is exposed to a substance to which it is sensitive or allergic and the Device's diagnostic capabilities are based upon the measurement of the body's electrical responses. It is this technology, when applied to measuring chiropractic outcome, which should prove quite valuable to the chiropractic profession.
