Alternative medicine is a controversial topic amongst physicians, and its demand has increased dramatically in the last few years. Lack of results from modern medicine, the search for more natural, sustainable alternatives and curiosity have led many patients to seek answers outside traditional medicine.
Unusual therapeutic approaches, exams and counselling are at the heart of this millennial medicine. Bioresonance, is one of the exams available in this field after many attempts to read the human body for potential clues for the cause of diseases/symptoms in order to treat them at the root.
On this post, I will share my personal experience concerning bioresonance testing in the context of food intolerances by a health consultant. The many versions of this "measurement" will also be discussed, along with its similarities and differences.

Bioresonance
In simple terms, bioresonance is a machine that detects the body's electromagnetic waves, coming from its own DNA, it operates with similar principles as the ultrasound and electroencephalography (EEG). It recognizes both healthy and unhealthy frequencies, being able to detect vitamin deficiencies, allergies and intolerances, heavy metals' presence and different kinds of pathologies (bacteria, fungi, cancer, etc.).
There are two types of bioresonance, according to this study on the Evidence for the Efficacy of a Bioresonance Method in Smoking Cessation presented by a group of scientists: endogenous and exogenous bioresonances.
Endogenous Bioresonance
Endogenous is the term applied to something/someone that has an internal cause or origin (Oxford Languages).
The endogenous bioresonance is an exam in which the machine receives the electromagnetic oscillations of the human body by hand or foot electrodes, distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy cells and presenting a specific subject or entire medical report of the patient's overall health.
The medical exam I will be talking about is the endogenous version, as it is performed to detect internal pathologies and symptoms.
Exogenous Bioresonance
Exogenous is the term applied to something/someone that has an external cause or origin (Oxford Languages).
Exogenous bioresonance, for instance, is an exam in which external factors are measured for whatever impact it might be causing on human health.
This version detects external causes, and it will not be discussed on this article.
Research
My mother and I have been researching what alternative therapies and exams we could do to improve our health, as I have been struggling with a skin problem after scrubbing my black heads (please, avoid doing this at all costs) and both of us have had weight problems, one by gaining weight and the other by losing it.
At last, she found an affordable test: a bioresonance to find intolerance to 338 foods, but what is actually an intolerance? Is it the same as an allergy? Find out the difference below.
Allergy vs Intolerance
It is important to differentiate between two terms: intolerance and allergy. An intolerance is related to the stomach and its digestion, while an allergy is a reaction coming from the immune system.
On the example given in this article by Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, a lactose intolerant person has the absence of a particular enzyme (lactase) to be able to digest the sugar present in milk (lactose). In the case of an allergy to milk, the person has "an immune response to proteins found in milk" and it can be life-threatening.
In terms of treatment, a food intolerant person can avoid the food or take a supplement to help with their digestion. An allergic reaction (when severe), on the other hand, has to be treated with an injection of epinephrine.
Machine and Results
There are a few differences concerning the accessories and method depending on the specific machine the clinic is using. In this case, the process was similar to a MORA machine, and it worked by connecting an electrode on a hand (a strap on my right wrist) and headphones. All I had to do during the test was to close my fists with my thumbs at the top, leaving some distance between both hands, the technician took what looked like a pen and poked my thumbs, alternatively, near the root of my nails, in order to read my body's frequencies.
My mother and I were skeptical about the results' accuracy, but it actually surprised us. We had VERY different reports, with many foods having a positive impact in one of us, and a negative impact on the other one.
The report consisted in 5 lists:
Red list: foods with a very high level of intolerance - to avoid at all costs;
Blue list: foods with a high level of intolerance - to avoid;
Black list: foods that are prone to intolerance - to eat in moderation;
Green list: recommended foods - to eat more often;
The last list: all the foods, from best to worst (positive to negative) with its tolerance percentage.
What is interesting about this exam is that it is pretty specific, it has the same grain, oil and flour on the database. Someone can be intolerant to the whole grain but not so much to its flour, as it is easier to digest, the same can happen with the grain's oil.
What was told is that the recommended foods can interfere with a particular disease/symptom, what makes me believe that it is the best product to be consumed at that point, not taking into consideration any illnesses/problems the person might have. It is the best for that individual in a general sense.
It was highly suggested for a nutritionist to help me with guidance concerning the removal of unwanted foods, as I had 133 foods with very high intolerance rate and 24 foods with high intolerance rate. The total number of foods I should eliminate from my diet is 157, that's 46,5% of the total foods - almost half of the sampled total (338)!
After checking all the lists, I found the best food for me (with a 96% tolerance rate) is regular lettuce. To my mother, the food she should consume more often (98% rate) is dark chocolate.
The results appeared to be consistent with reality, lactose for me should be consumed once in a while and I had that perception already, consuming too often lead to pimples all over my back; if I consume it moderately, that doesn't happen. My mom has a lactose intolerance, and she can't eat some whole, unprocessed foods like brown rice or whole wheat bread. The same happens to whole grains, and that is also consistent with her symptoms, as she has a hard time digesting these foods.
At the end of the day, bioresonance seems to have complementary value, being capable of detecting specific problems in someone's body. Technologies like this one aren't widely known, and they could help many people to discover food sensitivity, quicker and easier. If you would like to try this exam, I would recommend you contacting a nutritionist afterward that will consider this exam valid and would make a follow-up to further investigate and advise you on how to proceed in a dietary change.
