Listen and Best
This technology is moving ahead rapidly. The BEST System development and upgrades are
occurring regularly. BEST System technology has a pedigree of 15 years in this field of
medicine and is the progeny of three market leaders – the BEST System, LISTEN System
and the Omega Acubase System. This combined product development team is committed to
making the technology one of the mainstays of the health environment for this century.
More than two thousand Systems are in use throughout the world.

1998 BEST System announced
1999 BEST CE version introduced
2002 BEST Professional version introduced
In the 1950s Doctor Reinhold Voll, a German biophysicist, discovered a way to measure
the energy level of bio points (the life-energy points used in Acupuncture) with an
electrical device. Through these measurements he could:
 | Screen the energy levels of the organs in the body |
| Identify toxic substances, food intolerances and microbes that affect the body’s
functioning |
| Screen the vitamin and mineral profile |
More importantly, he also discovered that through these same acupuncture bio points,
the effects of toxic chemicals and microbes could be minimised and corrective remedies
could be identified.
The major obstacle to putting Voll’s work into practice was the screening method. The
technique was complicated and cumbersome, which meant it was too difficult and time
consuming for practitioners to use in a practical and efficient way. They had to acquire
and handle large numbers of phials, containing the substances to be tested, if they were
to carry out truly effective screenings.
For more than 16 years James Clark, in the US, worked at perfecting a computer system
capable of taking these measurements quickly, simply and accurately. He achieved, his goal
with the introduction of the LISTEN System in 1991. The substances to be tested (numbering
18,000) are programmed into the system. A report, generated after each screening, shows
every substance tested and the results it also provides the client with a detailed
personal analysis to study at leisure, instead of a few scribbled practitioner’s
notes. In 1997 BioMeridian Inc. acquired Biosource Inc, the original developer of the
LISTEN System, and made a number of significant improvements. These improvements were
incorporated into the BEST System which was launched in 1998. In 2002 BioMeridian
introduced the BEST-Professional with many enhancements over the BEST system including the
test database being increased from 30,000 to 40,000 items.
Research
Working with minute electrical charges in the body has long been incorporated in
Eastern complementary medicine as a way of determining the state of a patient’s
health. But, such techniques have often lacked clear Western descriptions, which is one of
the reasons why they have taken so long to be recognised.
Orthodox medicine is the only major medical system which does not recognise any form of
biological energy. Therefore, it is not surprising that research comparing the two fields
is less than extensive. However, recent studies show a significant level of agreement
between electro-acupoint measurements and conventional screening methods such as X-rays.
NutriVital has copies of many of these papers.
