History

• Family practitioner in Germany, also familiar with acupuncture, radios, and electronics.

​

• Saw the electrical pathways in the body and decided to measure them using acupuncture points on his patients with an ohmmeter.

​

• Discovered that healthy tissues had a standard value of resistance; weakened or degenerative tissue is more resistive, and stressed or inflamed tissue is less resistive.

​

• He realized early on, the human body can and does simulate the components and properties of electronic circuits.

​

• His original method involved using each hand as a resistor. One hand holds an electrode and the other is probed at specific acupuncture points, with the organ of interest between them.

​

• In 1976 Dr. Fuller Royal and Floyd Weston hired Joe Galloway and his friend to develop a bioenergetic testing system.

​

• Three goals: easy to use, affordable, and reproducible results.

​

• After 2 years, the Accupath 1000 was complete and it fulfilled zero of thethree requirements, but in the process, they learned that energetic results are not reproducible because the body is dynamic.
