ETM

I placed three cell phones on his chest wall as he lay on the echocardiograph table and called my office number and left the phones on his mid-sternum for one minute while they rang that number. I then measured the IVRT response every minute after turning the phones off. He “experienced” the documented free energy decline by IVRT criteria as feeling heaviness in his chest. Below is the powerpoint slide of the resulting IVRT decline at each minute after the cell phones were turned off.

I have tested a patient’s response to various vitamin E preparations on the ETM plus a typical array of nutrients that are standard practice in my clinic – Methyl-B12, Hydroxy-B12, Glucose, Fructose, Olive Oil and Fish Oil. The last six always show this kind of response in CFS but not in controls who are all positive for these six except Fructose which can be mixed in controls. CoQ-10 response can be mixed positive or negative in CFS but positive in controls. The historical variance for IVRT testing is plus or minus 1% and IVRT is measured three times and averaged. IVRT is an indirect measure of the free energy in the heart myocardial cells. Positive is good and negative is bad as it indicates a loss of free energy. These immediate responses in IVRT over a few minutes may or may not reflect later effects over time but are rather more useful to detect immediate positive or negative effects. Later effects can also be monitored but requires sequential testing over months of many patients on the same nutrient. This had only been done for a few items we currently use in therapy.
