Unsolved:E-Lybra

From HandWiki

E-Lybra is an alternative medicine electrodermal testing biofeedback device manufactured by World Development Systems Ltd.[1] Its manufacturers claim that the device can "analyze and restore energetic balance within the bio-field of humans and animals".[2] The device is based on an alternative medicine system called "Energy medicine", whose practitioners believe that "energetic imbalances" can be detrimental to health.[3]

A study done on a similar device found that the devices lack evidence for efficacy in diagnosing allergies.[4] Quackwatch states that E-Lybra, along with other similar devices, transmit "false or misleading health information".[5]
