August 21st, 2009 Muscle Testing
Based in the concept of an internal energy system which has its basis in Chinese medicine, muscle testing i an noninvasive way of determining the ailments of patients. This methodology can be useful to determine allergies, allergic reaction, disease processes and more. The process is the bodies response when applying slight pressure to a large muscle. The information obtained can be useful in determining imbalances, nutritional deficiencies and food sensitivities. It can also be used to determine course of treatments, changes in diet and drug intake. Generally you hold the substance in question and muscle testing is conducted to determine if it would be of benefit or detriment to the subject being tested. Questions can be asked about the amount, dosage or strength necessary for the condition being treated. When testing a rigid hold to the muscle being tested is considered a yes or positive response. When testing and the muscle is weak not holding firm the results of the test are considered no or negative. Legs and arms are the most common muscles to use for testing. If the subject is suffering from blocked energy there may not be a way to get a good muscle test with any clear yes or no. In cases like these some energy work like brain balancing while the subject focuses on breathing deeply worth the belly bringing themselves into a deep state of relaxation. Usually this will work on getting a subject unblocked and ready to be tested with successful results. The scientific term for muscle testing is applied kinesiology. This work was first done by Dr Goodheart about 70 years ago. This procedure is used extensively in holistic practices and chiropractic medicine. I was first introduced to these ideas at a chiropractic convention held at Barcelona Spain luxury hotels some years ago while traveling in Europe. I am interested but don’t know if I believe it works.
