One of the tools I use during an assessment is a pulse reflex that helps me observe how the body responds to different stimuli in real time. By gently feeling changes in the pulse, I can feel whether your nervous system reacts to things such as a supplement, a homeopathic remedy, an acupuncture point, an emotional pattern, acidity levels, or stress in a particular organ system. It’s a way of asking the body direct questions and observing its immediate response, helping guide a truly individualized treatment plan.
This pulse response is known as the Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS). It was first described by French physician Dr. Paul Nogier, who observed that stimulating certain areas of the ear could produce a brief change in the radial pulse, likely reflecting a rapid response of the autonomic nervous system. Research suggests the signal may reflect shifts between sympathetic and vagal activity and changes in cardiovascular regulation following specific stimuli.
Benefits of using the VAS
I’ve always wanted to know what is true for this specific patient. I want to know, why has this person not been able to heal their health problem on their own? The body has an innate healing mechanism; what is blocking it? Using the VAS, I can discern things like
– Is the liver having trouble with one of its many functions like detoxification, or immune function
– Is the pineal gland, the master regulator, not working well because of parasites, fungi, or bacteria in the digestive tract
– Are the repair functions of the body plugged with toxins like glyphosate or heavy metals
– Is there an emotional pattern stealing the life force
– Is a scar tissue or inflammation obstructing the Chi, or meridians
– Which acupuncture points will bring balance back to the nervous system, and stimulate the vital force
– And more
