CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a division of, and claims the benefit of the filing date of, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/074,283 entitled "Methods And Devices For Non-Invasively Measuring Quantitative Information Of Substances In Living Organisms," filed Mar. 6, 2005, which claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/550,913, entitled "Methods And Devices For Non-Invasively Measuring Quantitative Information Of Substances In Living Organisms," filed on Mar. 6, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The invention relates in general to medical measuring devices and in particular to methods and devices for non-invasively measuring quantitative information of substances in living organisms. BACKGROUND INFORMATION [0003] The living organism and its functioning systems are sources of extremely weak electromagnetic oscillations in a broad spectrum of frequencies. Several holistic therapeutic processes take advantage of such principles. These therapeutic processes utilize specific ultra fine oscillation information and are generally known as "bioresonance therapy." [0004] The term bioresonance therapy ("BRT") was coined in 1987 by the Brugemann Institute for "therapy using the patient's own electromagnetic oscillations." Such principles can be traced to the physician Dr. F. Morrell, who presented the use of his idea for the first time in 1977. Dr. Morrell's postulated that all disease and their pre-conditions are accompanied or caused by electromagnetic oscillations. According to Dr. Morrell's postulations, there is no pathological phenomenon without the presence of pathological oscillations in or around the body. [0005] Pathological electromagnetic oscillations are active alongside the healthy oscillations in the body of every patient. Because the patent's own oscillations or signals are electromagnetic in nature, they can be detected by using electrodes and electromagnetic measurement devices. Using what is known as a separator, the harmonious oscillations, which are virtually identical in all humans, may be filtered out through a filter. Interfering frequencies, which may be caused by pathogens, are not captured by the filter. Thus, the separator only resonates with harmonious frequencies. In this way, it is possible to separate harmonious and disharmonious frequencies. [0006] Diabetes is a life threatening disease which affects an estimated 20 million Americans, out of whom 50% are not aware of having it. The latest statistical estimates indicate there are approximately 125 million people diagnosed with diabetes worldwide, and that number is expected to rise 220+million by the year 2010. Early detection of diabetes is manageable allowing those affected to live longer and healthier lives. Blood glucose level monitoring and tracking provides valuable information to help control patients with diabetes. Diabetic people who using insulin regularly need to check the glucose level three or more times per day. This process of monitoring the glucose level allows doctors to have prompt and primary information in detecting the cure for disease. [0007] During 1970's monitoring glucose level instruments were invented which based on chemical test strips which could react with drawn blood. Today, there are sophisticated electronic devices which are used to determine blood glucose levels; however, these devices still use invasive techniques to draw a sample of blood from the patient. However such techniques are invasive, inconvenient, and sometimes painful. Rather than use invasive techniques, such as blood tests, it would be desirable to use electromagnetic oscillations to determine the amounts of certain substances, such a blood glucose, within a living organism. Additionally, it would also be useful to use oscillations of various substances to determine the levels of any substance in a living organism. [0008] What is needed, therefore, is a method and/or apparatus which can non-invasively test for substances, such as glucose levels in blood or the body in general by using electromagnetic oscillations. SUMMARY [0009] The previously mentioned needs are fulfilled with various embodiments of the present invention. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a method and system is provided for non-invasively measuring a level of a substance level in a living organism, the method comprises: measuring the electrical potential between points on different meridians of vegetative system, or between different points on the skin of the organism; storing the measured value as reference point; applying a plurality of low current electrical signals, where each signal corresponds to a previously extracted electrical signal derived from a known concentration of the substance to determine a maximum difference between the reference point and the responses to the electrical signals, then determining the amount of the substance in the living organism by using the maximum difference and previously determined table to correlate the amount of the substance with the maximum difference. [0010] In another aspect, there is disclosed a method of determining a substance in a living organism, the method comprising: applying an electrical signature signal to the living organism, wherein the electrical signature signal corresponds to a predetermined amount of the substance; measuring the response of the living organism to the applied signature signal; and determining whether an elevated response has resulted from applying the electrical signature, if so, then determining the amount of the substance in the living organism from the predetermined amount of the substance. [0011] In another aspect, the detection of the "body response" is based on the monitoring of the level of convergence of sequentially generated curves of conductivity change versus time for the same substance signature wave applied to the body between two points on the skin. [0012] In another aspect, there is a process for the matching of self-oscillation frequencies of different concentrations of glucose molecules in the human blood with similar frequencies of pre-known concentrations of glucose in reference solutions. As a result of such a resonance or "GlucoResonance", the electrical potential between two predefined acupuncture points ("aculevel") on a human body changes significantly. This change represents the difference between the measured aculevel with and without GlucoResonance. [0013] One aspect uses an internal database of self-oscillation frequencies extracted from hundreds of biological solutions with different levels of glucose, covering the range of blood glucose levels from 10 mg/dl to 600 mg/dl. In order to test for glucose in the blood, a low-current electrical signal for every entry in the reference database may be applied to a patient at predetermined points on the skin or acupuncture points. These electrical signals are applied at points where the electrical potential has been previously measured to establish a calibration aculevel. Then the measured aculevel for every data point is compared with the calibration aculevel. A large disturbance/change between these values suggests the blood glucose level in the patient. [0014] In other aspects, there is disclosed an apparatus for measuring a substance in a living organism, the apparatus may comprise: a processor means; at least two electrode means for applying and receiving signals, an impedance measuring means for determining the impedance between the at least two electrode means; a memory means for storing a database of electrical signature signals, wherein each electrical signature signal corresponds to different amounts of a substance; and a means for applying the electrical signature signals to the at least two electrode means. [0015] These and other features, and advantages, will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is important to note the drawings are not intended to represent the only form of the invention.
