OLIGOSCAN

What is Oligoscan testing?

It is an innovative device that uses light to measure the intracellular content of important minerals and toxic metals. It can provide answers to why one is lacking energy, not responding to supplements or when other tests fail to provide solutions.

How is it performed

The hand-held device, called a spectrophotometer. Is briefly held over 4 points on your palm. It records the wavelengths of minerals and metals in the cells of your tissues. This information is transmitted to a web application in the cloud, where it is processed and analysed. Within a few seconds the results appear on the computer, to be interpreted. With this valuable information, a treatment plan including nutrition, lifestyle and supplements is devised.

What makes spectrophotometric testing so innovative and exciting?

It is the first time we have a tool available to measure the intracellular concentration of important minerals and toxic metals. These measures are not readily available through conventional blood and urine testing. The cost is a fraction of what nearest equivalent tests would cost.

How does it work?

Every substance in nature emits or absorbs a particular wavelength of light. The wavelengths emitted from minerals and metals in the skin cells of the hand are recorded and analysed in conjunction with data such as weight, height, age and blood group.

are measuring different things. All measurements provide important dimensions of understanding and independent information related to minerals and metabolism, and should be part of a global understanding of a patient.

At 4 week follow-up, the effects of lifestyle and dietary changes and supplementation can be measured again. The aims are to regain homeostatic balance of the minerals and eliminate the toxic metals.

 In summary

By analyzing the content of tissues, Oligoscan shows the metabolism and the homeostasis within the cells, as well as the mineral reserves available. It reveals the concentration of toxic metals present, which act as significant obstacles to optimal health. This amounts to a valuable reflection of the physiology of the patient, which is difficult and/or expensive to obtain by other means.
