We’re talking about a device and testing method that when tested itself has either not been proven to work or proven not to work. A device and testing method which flies directly in the face of everything we know about biology, chemistry and physics.
.
Maybe you’d like to inform us of how it works (scientifically, not through woo and pseudoscience)? Maybe if someone, ANYONE could do this and maybe if someone, ANYONE could prove that such machines work, even in the hands of a trained medical professional, we wouldn’t “dump on it”.
.
Our facts seem to be quite straight. If they are not, please, show us where and how they are not rather than just criticising without actually adding anything constructive.

Hi Leslie, it doesn't matter where you take the test. These machines are just a lot of flashing lights and dials, nothing more. And if you're defending their use in cancer treatment, as described in this post, then you need to seriously reconsider your position. Not only is claiming to cure cancer unethical, it is illegal in New South Wales. I personally would be very worried if I came across one in my doctor's office. But a homeopath? Well since they believe that water carries magical vibrations, then this magic machine would fit right in. Thanks for your comments.

Regarding Vegatesting: Why on earth would someone go to a ’store’ to take a medical test? If the results are variable across ’stores’, what else would you expect? A trained medical practitioner only should be using these machines – and I mean someone who went to medical school, homeopathic school etc. and understands the INTRICACIES of the body’s systems and how they interact. Dumping on vegatesting machines in this way is absurd and uninformed. Get your facts straight!

[...] Cases such as these where religious beliefs and faith in alternative medicine result in (often) avoidable deaths are tragically, not uncommon. It is also important to consider the desperation and vulnerability of a person faced with the imminent death of their daughter, therefore one can sympathise that you might be inclined to try anything. Similar to my Mum’s friend who passed 6 months ago from cancer also, but in her final months fell victim to all kinds of useless therapies including hair analysis and vega testing. [...]

My Mum was sucked into ‘Trichology’ or hair analysis when she was really crook with a thyroid condition. It seems all she had was a simple *allergy*.

The work may seem largely thankless, but just think of all of those potential customers who google “vega test” and stumble across your site…
