Is anyone here familiar with this system/test? Some pharmacies are doing these free tests and then it supposedly shows what is wrong with your body or problem areas. I am only looking for the opinion of someone who have some positive or negative experience or heard of it somewhere.

A family member recently went for a test and it showed there is something terribly life threatening wrong with one of the organs. However I have never heard of these tests. The person doesn't have medical aid and it will cost us a hell lot of money to see a specialist and do scans to find out if there is indeed something wrong.

P. S. I already assume it is hogwash/scam/nonsense. So I am looking for someone with a different opinion or speak out of experience /know of someone.

I understand that. But have you heard of it before or someone that did the tests only to find out it is indeed rubbish?

A very brief Google shows that to go with the test you fill out a huge questionnaire. That gets scanned by the computer and I'm pretty sure that's the only thing that will spit out any differences in the report.

It measures the resistance of different parts of the body. The only thing that can possibly show you is how much fat is in your tissues.

The rest of the claims are 100% BS.

It's the electronic form of homeopathy.
 
It is a scam. Basically foreign manufacturers make these things rebrand and redesign them once enough people complain. They sell these devices to entrepreneurs for a lot of money with the promise they can make a lot of money. That is why the people selling the idea sound convincing because otherwise they would lose out on their investment if they acknowledge it.

Found a link about it: https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...on-a-scam-or-legit-wellness-body-scan.398349/
 
If it was indeed a valid and authentic then the whole world would have known about this and not only you.

If they do these tests, how do they benefit from it? It was completely free. Said the person need to urgently go to a government hospital if no medical aid or see specialist. You can imagine the situation I sit with and the impact it has on the family member. Argh!

I don't disagree with you. (this has nothing to do with my wife). But my wife almost ended up in a wheelchair/bed ridden because no doctors could help her or understand what was wrong with her.

Ah, the pyramid scheme side makes sense why they would do it.

Thanks for the link.

Sorry to hear about your wife.

Sometimes there are medical conditions with vague symptoms and routine test results come back “normal”. This makes it very difficult to get a diagnosis.
There is also the concept whereby physicians think everything is “supratentorial” when none of the puzzle pieces fit.

Did you wife finally get help and how?
What was her condition and why was it so elusive?

(Just to be clear my wife's condition is completely unrelated to this scam in OP.)

Ah @tRoN I missed you post somehow. Hope this post is not too long.

Short version:
My wife has ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). There is not really a cure for it, not at the moment that I know off. Many try this, try that, do this, do that......... Found someone in Johannesburg that claims she can treat it, or at least control it and treat the bacteria.

Long Version:

In the beginning we had no idea what was going on. She was just getting sicker and sicker. She started to forget stuff and could sometimes not get our of bed (specially weekends cause she doesn't have to go to work). Many doctors don't recognise ME/CFS as an actual sickness or they don't understand it (that we went to anyways). Technically there is no cure for it, not yet anyways. We went from one doctor to the next, they would give flue medicine, vitamins, depression medication etc. etc. She just got sicker. Someone suggest we must go see a homeopath. He immediately told her that she has ME/CFS, and after research all the symptoms matched. The homeopath gave her something to try for 3 months. After 3 months he suggested she will need to find a specialist.

I met another lady who said she has ME/CFS and referred us to a lady in Johannesburg. She sends someone to KZN every second month who we go see. The medicine they give is basically just very strong antibiotics in controlled cycles to kill the bacteria. My wife can think straight again and remember stuff. The so called "brain fog" is gone (it was really bad). Physically she still get very tired but not as bad as in the beginning where she had to drag herself out of bed. Yes, some days are very bad, other days are better.
 
@RedViking

Aah ok.
Have you ruled out multiple sclerosis?

The problem with ME is that it is a vague condition in the medical fraternity. Much like how MS was until recently.
Most of these conditions are either autoimmune or autoinflammatory and triggered off by either a virus or stress.

The problem with homeopathy and such is that it’s more likely based on placebo than real efficacy.
The idea of taking high dose antibiotics is also problematic as a lot of research has been done on the microbiome and it’s disruption with diet and antibiotics.

Has your wife tried to go 100% gluten free?

No it is not multiple sclerosis.
She is on a very strict / low carb diet. No gluten at all. Sugar is poison to her. Even natural sugar like honey. Yes, the antibiotics has it's own problems. But at the moment it is that or a wheelchair.

What is the name of the antibiotics she gets.
You sure it’s not steroids?
