Bio-Energetic Testing with the Qest4

What is Bio-Energetic Testing?

If you’ve been to the doctor for a blood test or had any lab testing done, you may have received results that discussed specific levels of certain vitamins or minerals, blood count numbers, or proteins present. Those tests are looking at your physical tissues and cells in their current state.

Bio-energetic testing is a bit different.    

Everything that exists physically also carries with it a unique energetic pattern - we refer to that pattern as a signature. You may have heard the term “frequency” used in similar situations; it’s a similar concept, but a signature is a larger, more complete amount of information like a collection of frequencies. The Qest4 system outputs thousands of these signatures representing various items (such as hormones, vitamins, minerals, toxins, pathogens, emotions, meridians, chakras, etc.) as the person holds a set of electrodes. If any of these patterns are dissonant within the individual, that response is recorded through the electrodes and shows up on the computer screen. Those energetic imbalances can then be addressed in any number of ways. The primary method is to “imprint” (or record) the balancing energies or patterns into a bottle of liquid drops that the person can take daily. Every time the person takes the drops, the signatures imprinted act as information communicating with the individual, allowing them to “balance” or remove energetic blocks. The testing process can be done in person or remotely.

The human body and soul have an amazing and natural tendency toward health and balance. When something is not right, there are systems set in place to let us know (disease, mental or emotional health issues, pain, etc.). As we learn to listen to our body and our spirit and respond to these cues, we can assist in that natural drive towards ease and harmony.  At Healing Cove, the goal is to be there for you as a resource, and to offer tools (such as energy healing and bio-energetic testing) to assist you on your journey.

What Does Qest4 Do?

The Qest4 is the most advanced bio-energetic screening system available today. Qest4 tests your response against a wide variety of test signatures that cover everything from the meridian points relating to internal organs, food preferences, environmental contaminants, nutritional factors, toxins, emotional patterns and many more. Whatever your approach to wellness, this system can aid you in obtaining your goals more quickly.

How Does Qest4 Work?

The Qest4 software contains digitally encoded information relating to a wide range of mental, physiological and emotional factors. The signals are output by the Qest4 hardware as electromagnetic signals during testing. Using a simple and safe low voltage circuit formed by holding two brass cylinders, the response of the body to those signals is recorded. The response being measured is small changes in the electrical resistance of the skin. This information is relayed back to the software. A report is generated on the computer of any responses that are outside specific limits.

Is the Qest4 a Diagnostic Device?

No, but let us be clear about definitions here. ‘Diagnosis’ is derived from a Greek word meaning to ‘discern or distinguish’. In the modern medical context, this means to take a set of symptoms presented by a patient and state that they fit better into the category for disease A, disease B or perhaps disease C. In this way the medical practitioner can choose appropriate treatment, and it is important that she gets it right because the treatment for disease A might have quite negative consequences for a disease B patient, especially if it is surgical.

Qest4 testing does indeed ‘discern’ only in that it records a completely individual set of responses to signals. This may assist a holistic practitioner the approach that is characteristic to such disciplines: “treating the patient, not the disease”. 

What is the Nature of the Information Obtained by Qest4?

Running a Qest4 test is an example of a process that we call bio-energetic testing. Bio-energetic (or just ‘energetic’) testing is effectively ‘asking the body a question’ and obtaining the response directly from the body’s own physiology, without engaging the conscious and language centers of the mind.

It is helpful to make some comparisons to other techniques that go part of the way towards this. Many people will be familiar with muscle testing or kinesiology. This is another form of bio-energetic testing applied by health practitioners. In kinesiology the question is often asked verbally, or the subject may hold an object or substance that is being tested. The response is measured by changes in the contractile strength of the skeletal muscles, checked manually by the tester.
​
Another informative comparison is the phenomenon of ideo-motor response, which is used by hypnotherapists. When a subject is in a trance state, a set of pre-defined response patterns (e.g. raising one finger or another, which occurs without conscious effort) can be observed to obtain responses to questions about which the subject may have no conscious recollection. This method can be used to recover memories from the unconscious mind, which is thought to store all our experiences, regardless of whether we can ‘remember’ them in normal consciousness.

These examples bear similarities to Qest4 testing, but Qest4 testing goes one step further. The challenges or questions are presented a micropower radio signal output, rather than in words, removing practitioner bias.

What really distinguishes the Qest4 from manual methods and from many of the other devices on the market is the skill and experience that has been brought to bear over 30 years in collecting and refining the digital encoding methods and in improving the technology for recording responses. The latest Qest4 Pro system can run a very large number of tests in a few minutes and thereby build a broad picture of energetic functioning and responses in the client’s body.

Is That the Same as 'Bioresonance'?

Yes. Bioresonance systems are operating along the same principle, although many of them are much more limited in their application compared to Qest4. Resonance and ‘frequency’ are often used interchangeably. We prefer the term ‘informational signatures’ as in truth, the recorded and encoded signal may interact with the consciousness in a more complex way than a single frequency or simple wave-form.

So What Exactly Do the Results Signify?

The one definite and unchanging aspect of interpreting the test results is as follows: if an item shows up as unbalanced (usually a red or yellow indication against the item in the displayed list), then that signals that among the potentially hundreds or thousands of items tested, the body gave an above or below average electrical resistance response.
​
In different words, the body-mind system has indicated some kind of reaction to the item being tested, and along the lines of homeopathic treatment, we can use that to ‘remind’ the organism to improve that particular aspect of homeostasis.

Consider a couple of parallels. Firstly, from immunology: introduction to a pathogenic microbe initially causes a disturbance to the body, perhaps quite a serious acute reaction. However, as the information is relayed around the immune system, the body learns to cope with that particular pattern better next time. Secondly, from psychology: a therapist mentions an event in calm conversation to his client and the client breaks down in tears – he has hit a raw nerve. Subsequent discussion desensitizes the event and places it in a context. In both these cases, a repetition of information has allowed the body to become more robustly adapted to its environment.

The Qest4 test is identifying items to which the body / mind system can learn better adaptive behaviors. These items may be as diverse as foods, pathogens, emotional patterns, colors or nutritional and pharmaceutical agents.

 What Can We Do with this Information??

We can proceed down a number of paths. Firstly, we can follow the recommendation – feed the informational signatures highlighted by the test back to the body. The Qest4 provides us many ways of doing this: by creating an imprinted informational remedy (similar to a homeopathic remedy), by imprinting crystals or patches, and by feeding the information via a safe low-energy laser.

That much is simple and quite clearly effective. However, In some circumstances we can also use the results to inform other aspects of a personalized wellness program. This could involve Reiki, nutrition, herbs, emotionally based therapies or recommendations for other therapies to pursue between sessions such as massage, hypnotherapy, or chiropractic care.

Dr. Eve is able to use the database and reporting system on the Qest4 to run the tests required to investigate different parts of the health picture and to inform other types of treatment available through her or other practitioners you may pursue.
​
The Qest4 essentially helps the practitioner to find clues about how to make progress, though like with all detective work, some clues are more important than others.

 Do Test Results Correlate with Symptoms?

The answer to this is ‘sometimes yes, sometimes no’, and it would be surprising if it was any other way.
It is always re-assuring for practitioners and clients if the test reports seem to confirm things that the client is reporting in the case history, perhaps even more so if it is things they have initially held back from telling the practitioner.
​
However, the real value of a bioenergetic testing is to reveal underlying patterns that are able to help change the dynamics of the system. These, by definition, are not the symptoms themselves. They may be recognizable as things closely associated with a symptom, or they may not be.

A client’s state of health can be considered like a complex 3-dimensional form about which we can only ever see a 2-dimensional snapshot. When we combine multiple snapshots from different angles, we get a better impression of the overall shape.

When we want to help a client undo patterns that have been ingrained into the body over years or decades, the process can be seen as stripping away ‘layers’. Bioenergetic testing using the Qest4, especially using the Comprehensive Analysis at the heart of the system, reveals the body’s first priorities for healing, and those may or may not correlate with the main symptom that the client is presenting. As we peel away more layers, different causative aspects of the health problems reveal themselves for healing.

 Are test results repeatable?

Rarely if ever will a test repeated two minutes later give the same set of responses as the first time. This is a critical point. As the system is revealing the body’s response to informational signals, and response to information is instantaneous – the response to the same questions will be different if you run the test again.

That’s not the same as saying that a physical symptom has gone away – just that the body-mind has taken account of that information and can therefore adapt to it in any way it sees fit. That adaptation may take a while to promote a physical change, and indeed the same information may need to be fed back to the body repeatedly if aspects of the client’s environment or habitual behavior override it. The imprinted remedy helps with this process.
