I was going to redo an Asyra machine reading as I am cobbling together my treatment plan. This is digital Homeopathy.
I believe this is a post from the pro health forum by Rich Vank (I read his posts on PR) but I found his whole attitude excellent:

* Hi, all.
I expect that this thread is likely to develop into another knock down, drag out session, but I will just throw in what I know of the Asyra machine.
I saw the Asyra machine demonstrated in a talk by Dr. W. Lee Cowden at the AutismOne conference in Chicago a couple of years ago. He also reported on his experiences with detoxing people using this machine to diagnose, and a laser-homeopathic technique to treat.
I don't claim to understand the basic science behind this machine's operation, but I do believe that Dr. Cowden is a reliable and honest person, so I have to take it seriously.
I think Dr. Cowden now mostly uses the Zyto machine, which I think operates on the same principle.
As I understand it, what the Asyra machine does at the electronic level is that it measures the DC resistance through the body, from one hand to the other, by passing a small DC current. Thus, it does respond to the galvanic skin resistance, like a lie detector does, but according to my understanding of it, is also claimed that other things influence the body's DC resistance as well, and the machine's operation depends on these other effects.
While the machine is monitoring the DC resistance of the body, it also impresses AC signals on top of the DC current that it is applying to the body. The AC signals have specific frequencies, and they are applied in sequence, each for a very short time. The machine measures the effect on the DC resistance of impressing the various AC signals. There is a very large number of these AC frequencies used.
Now, here's the part I can't say I understand: Supposedly these signals of various frequencies stimulate responses in the body, depending on the presence of various substances or conditions in the body, or on the capability of the body to respond to various substances. I think the claim is that the various molecules in the body, which are composed of chemical elements and ions, have dipole moments and also have characteristic vibrational frequencies, determined by the atomic masses of the elements of which they are composed, the type of chemical bonding, and the overall structure of the molecule. Thus, if they are excited at their resonant frequencies, they will absorb energy from the electromagnetic field generated by the AC signal. When this occurs, it affects their behavior. For example, if the molecule is an enzyme, this could affect how it catalyzes a biochemical reaction. Somehow, the changes that are induced then affect the DC resistance of the body.
That's about as well as I can explain what I think I've heard and read about how these machines work. I think the explanation is at least somewhat plausible, given that it is not a complete explanation.
As I said, I saw this machine demonstrated. In the particular case involved, Dr. Cowden asked for a volunteer, someone whom he did not know, to come up and undergo an Asyra exam. Several people volunteered, and he picked a woman, who joined him at the podium. Both said they did not know each other, and Dr. Cowden said he did not have any information about this woman's health. She took hold of the electrodes in her hands, and he ran the machine, the scan taking about 20 minutes. Then he read the output, which consisted of a numbered list of results, supposedly the most important ones listed first. The first one listed said that there was a problem in her left jaw. The woman exclaimed that she had just had some dental work done there.
Dr. Cowden also discussed some case histories, which were very interesting. One involved a guy who had been an auto mechanic for a long time, and had been washing carburetors in gasoline with his bare hands, inhaling the fumes. He was quite ill. The Asyra machine came back with gasoline being his worst toxin.
The next part of this story is likely to be viewed with even more skepticism by some here than the first part, but I will relate it, nevertheless. As I say, I believe that Dr. Cowden is a reliable person. Dr. Cowden treats some conditions, such as toxicity, by use of a homeopathic form of the specific toxic substance in solution in a clear glass vial. He shines a laser pointer through the solution, which causes the laser beam to form a fan shape, and he sweeps this light over the person's body. The explanation given was that the substance in the vial modulates the light beam with its own characteristic frequencies, and these are then conveyed to the body, and they excite certain specific detox reactions to occur.
In the gasoline exposure case, he reported that he asked his nurse to take the guy into the next room and perform this scanning on his body. A short time later, both the nurse and the patient came out of the room rapidly and said they could no longer stand to be in there. Dr. Cowden went into the room, and found the air to be filled with gasoline fumes. He opened the windows, shut the door, and everyone was kept out of the room for the rest of the day. The patient felt considerably better after this treatment.
Well, he told other stories like this, too, but you get the idea.
Now I'll stand back for the blowback!
-) Honestly I don't blame anyone for being skeptical about this, but I've been hearing enough about these types of things from people I believe are credible that I take them seriously, and am curious to understand more about how they might work. To me, the trickiest part is the specific coupling of electromagnetic radiation of certain frequencies to biological molecules, and the responses that are provoked in them. This is plausible to me, but I'd like to know more of the specifics of this mechanism.
Best regards,
Rich

It was because of this post I gave the Asyra macine a whirl. I wrote about it somewhere. I had fears about the pills and didnt follow the protocol correctly. It brought up several definately accurate things plus a few peculiar things.
edit: In fact the Asyra machine said Lyme was a big problem for me - which was why I started to pay attention to Lyme threads.
