This Test saved my Life. Found out I couldn't have wheat gluten nor dairy. I went to Total Health nutrition center. I feel like a new person. I couldn't figure out why my body was about to shut down.
As someone who is learning about this, yet it skeptical (and wants to believe it), have you considered hanging a 2lb weight from the patient’s arm (instead of pushing down)? It seems this kind of test would fully verify that the practitioner isn’t (conscientiously or not) pushing down harder. I’ve suggested this to practitioners before in a class, and it always makes the room uncomfortable, which is discouraging. It was suggested that the weigh won’t work because it would ‘disrupt the circuit’, so I suggested the weight and staying in contact without pushing. Again, it made people uncomfortable. Very frustrating for someone who simply wants to validate something that so many people charge money for.
There have been studies done with measurement devices if you want to do some searching. I read a few of them decades ago when I was doing my training but that wasn't a concern for me so they had little value to me (I wouldn't be able to tell you the titles or the journals they were in). However, if that is of interest to you, they are peppered throughout research journals but the best place to find stuff like that is probably through the International College of Applied Kinesiology (ICAK). The problem is that we are dealing with people when we are muscle testing. Everyone tests differently - some people have very weak and very strong reactions while others have very subtle changes between a strong and a weak muscle reaction - so it requires a tester to "feel" what is happening in the muscle that weights may not detect. Also, people can affect the test, both the tester, from poor or improper muscle testing technique, and the one being tested, many times unconsciously with subtle changes in position and muscle recruitment. That is why when a physician is learning muscle testing through the ICAK there is a lot of time spent on how to do an accurate muscle test with each muscle, since they are all different. It doesn't have to do with "disrupting the circuit". I will share one thought with you. If someone is a skeptic and trying to discredit something, I don't waste time with them. My purpose isn't to "convince" anyone of anything - anyone can prove anything to themselves if they are looking for a specific outcome or result. It is called the "handy hammer syndrome" in research. My goal is to educate and let people decide. HOWEVER! If someone is really interested, trying to figure things out, and perhaps struggling, I will share a quote by Dr. John Upledger, the founder of Cranio-sacral Therapy. In that therapy the therapist is expected to learn how to feel the subtle motion of the cranial rhythm - in my experience much harder to do than muscle testing - and he shares this thought in his book with those struggling to feel it. While he is talking specifically about Cranio-sacral Therapy, the principle applies to many, many things that are difficult to feel or wrap ones head around. And I love his opinion because while he was a clinician, he was also a fierce researcher. Good luck, I hope it is helpful. Dr. John Upledger: "Learning to trust your hands is not an easy task. You must learn to shut off your conscious, critical mind while you palpate for subtle changes in the body you are examining. You must adopt an empirical attitude so that you may temporarily accept without question those perceptions which come into your brain from your hands. Although this attitude is unpalatable to most scientists, it is recommended that you give it a short trial. After you have developed your palpatory skill, you can criticize what you have felt with your hands. If you criticize before you learn to palpate, you will never learn to use your hands effectively as the highly sensitive diagnostic and therapeutic instruments which, in fact, they are… “Therefore, we make this plea in the beginning: accept what you sense as real. Do not rationally try to understand it. Give yourself a chance to learn. The risk when playing the game of “I trust my hands” is minimal to the loser. The potential payoff for those who succeed is great, much greater than you can perhaps imagine right now. Remember that the potential of humankind is limited only by its own concept of that limitation. Relax and let it happen.” (Craniosacral Therapy, John Upledger, p. 26-7)
@@Superdocdc Hello! Thank you for your answer and for the Dr. Upledger quote. You are literally the first person thus far (in years) to give me a real answer and not the usual 'New-Age' smoke and mirrors-type response. THANK YOU! As I have had several experiences that don't 'fit' into the scientific realm, I consider myself an 'open-minded sceptic' on these matters. If anything, my bias is that I WANT these things to be real, as opposed to some dyed-in-the-wool scientist type who invalidates anything not in the physics books. I'm not trying to credit or discredit, just verify for myself. I proposed the 'weight test' because I have several friends who do this for a living, yet I KNOW they were pushing my arm down harder because I could feel/see the pressure differential on my skin where the were pressing. Yet, I also know these people are sincere that they believe my arm was getting weaker. It's a strange place to be at. I'm getting life-coaching from someone who wants to incorporate AK (self-testing) into my life. Zero luck for me so far, but I'm willing to continue practicing and stay open. I'm really hoping I can eventually get some scientifically-verifiable results.
can you help me understand.. I thought you had to touch the parts of her body to test because of polarity? im very new to this. but I guess you can muscle test yourself so im a tad unsure here.
@@zacharybeauford2244 it works by getting response from the SUB-CONSCIOUS mind which records every event in one's life, and from which the YES/NO answers can be obtained.
@@LaurieLiberty777 nothing more than assertions. Besides, muscle testing is also used to seemingly obtain information unrelated to events recorded by observation. If you’ll examine your supposed explanation closely you’ll see it only adds complexity and thus compounds need for explanation.
I would definitely fail this test. I have weak muscles due to repetitive motion from my job. I'm stationary in one spot for 6 hrs. I've got nerve pain. Some arthritis on my wrist. Fingers hurt. I can't even hold 3 bags of groceries in one hand or even a 12 pk of soda cause my hands will drop it. Should I get tested?
The muscle is used not for how strong it is but as an indicator for the physician's testing. The muscle is tested for responsiveness and then retested to see if there is a change in responsiveness related to whatever evaluation the doctor is doing. Joint or muscle problems will definitely affect the testing but a good practitioner will evaluate what muscles would be good to use for this type of testing and which ones should not be used due to problems with joint, muscle, or related health problems. In 22 years, I have yet to come across someone that could not be tested.
im rly curious about muscle testing, but i cant help but notice how subject it is to the power of suggestion. how do you guard against that in the patient? just wondering, thanks!
That is rarely a problem but occasionally a patient will affect the testing by their own biases of what they expect to find. When that happens, one of the things I do is tell them that I am going to test a number of different things and ask them to be patient with me. Then I run through a number of reflexes and stress tests without telling them what I am testing, some unrelated to their complaint and others that may be related. If I am confident that the testing was accurate, I then explain to the patient what tests were positive. Removing their knowledge of what each reflex is helps prevent the patient's biases from affecting the results of the testing. However, sometimes that does not work and so I have had times where I have called the patient out on their biases and explained that we won't be able to use muscle testing because we aren't getting accurate results. I hope that makes sense.
Hmm interesting! So- sorry to ask another question- how does the patients’ muscles know how to respond to your testing if it’s not communicated with the patient? Sorry I don’t know anything about how it works😂 thank you so so much for responding to me! I really appreciate it
@@bowtiesarecool1011 The muscle "doesn't know", it just responds when it is tested for strength. Your question about the power of suggestion is not a question about the muscle, it is a question about how the brain affects the testing. The brain controls everything in the body including the muscles. By taking the brain out of the equation the "power of suggestion" as you put it is not a factor. However, there are many different things that affect the strength of a muscle - nerve flow, blood flow, lymphatic flow, nutrition, other muscles, joints, etc. which is why the training for doctors to learn how to use muscle testing in a clinical setting is very comprehensive and not a single weekend seminar.
@@bowtiesarecool1011 It is best to tap into cellular memory to find the cause of health issues and the natural remedy. I have done this successfully for 45 yrs.
Every cell in the body knows everything about your health and cellular memory is accessed by asking the body questions that can be answerer YES or NO and the body responds electrically, allowing a person to do muscle testing.
Is it also a CERTIFICATION 100 HOUR COURSE....so just by watching this does not make you an Applied Kinesiologist, and by the ICAK you cannot say you do AK unless you take the course and pass the test. So muscle testing and AK are two different things.
I am referring to muscle testing and applied kinesiology as the same because I am addressing the lay public in a simple introductory video and am limited in time. I have 300 hours of certification training and have been an active member of the International College of Applied Kinesiology for over 20 years. Thank you for the differentiation though. A layman doing basic muscle testing is very different from a trained physician using applied kinesiology as a functional diagnostic tool along with exams, imaging, blood labs, etc.
With this comment you have clearly missed the point of the video and how muscle testing works. The muscle test has nothing to do with how strong the muscle is or how hard or gentle it is tested. What the tester is evaluating is if the muscle is responsive or not and that can be felt by the tester, as well as the testee, with a heavy or a light test. Thanks for the comment and the opportunity for clarification.
