The goal of the current work was to create a correct express acupuncture meridians'
(AM) state research method with probably smaller measurement's errorlevel and
minimum dependence on the subjective factors. The electropuncture RL-test creation
was a result of the conducted work. The new method is based on skin's electrical
conductivity in certain zones of 12 main AM research. It includes some new
principles. The testing procedure takes not more than 5-7 minutes. The special
diagram enable to notify even slightly changes in the AM state was developed for
visual analysis of the given measurements. In 1,5 year of the RL-test work during
diagnostics and AM correction at more than 300 patients we have received an
extensive material, allowing to make the following conclusions:
1. Meridians, state and their relations' character are significantly constant. They are
stable against the customary environmental and internal factors' influence. At the
same time they are very sensitive to the strong changes in the organism's state as
well as to the particular acupuncture effects.
2. Meridians basically reflect the clinical status of a patient.
3. The appropriate meridians, state is particularly changed under the influence of
classical and SU JOK acupuncture.
4. The particular acupuncture effect on the appropriate meridians' state change is
usually found out at once after the procedure and is kept up to 2 or 3 weeks and
longer.
5. The particular changes in the meridians' state are observed at moxa, laser, needles'
acupuncture and special SU JOK therapy magnets actions.
6. The right and left-hand meridians are characterised by relative independence.
7 . In more than in 90% of cases the well known in acupuncture laws of
Subordination and Creation are reflected in meridians' relations character.
8. The revealed RL-test opportunities permit to use it for valuation of meridians
state as an objective tool express-method that is alternate to the traditional pulse
diagnostics.
