Title: clinical kinesiology
Post by: Ioanna on July 23, 2009, 01:30:43 am
I think that is what it's called... muscle testing?
I had it done yesterday just because I had the opportunity to, but the point was that the N.D. would then fill you up on supplements, which I didn't go for. I've read some on muscle testing (Power vs Force by Hawkins), and think it's interesting, but it seemed like such an 'operation' too. I tested most weak for my adrenals, which could very well be so or could be a trendy thing to say. I tested weak in about 50% of whatever was on the worksheet being used. So, I'm either a serious train wreck or this stuff is bunk. Apparently I also have 'stress rings' in my eyes, I don't know what that means.
Anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

I have played around with it for several years. The only way muscle-testing is useful is if it's a double-blind, meaning that nobody knows which substance is being tested until after the test is done. It has its usefulness.
I don't know what he means by "stress rings". He could be referring to iridology, or something on your skin, or maybe even something else.

The stress rings probably mean you need more exercise. The muscle testing, I like, but take it or leave it, it's not that big.

There is an alternative health doctor we consulted and he uses muscle testing as his primary diagnostic tool. He was a raw foodist too. I just did not agree with a couple of things he recommended:
- tons of his supplements - too much salt - he wanted plain faucet water
I got his book. Needs a lot of training to learn.
I take his analysis with a grain of salt. This was for my boy.

My mum took me to a kinesiologist when I was a teenager! I was struggling at school etc :D
She told me I had some traumatic experience at some age or another but couldn't think of anything. I did get a weird sensation when she put the light thing against my fore head though.
Pretty much stopped going to school towards the end and still scraped into uni...then failed uni :D
I'm more open to this sort of stuff lately such as Alexander technique/ALF appliance. I'm actually quite keen on the ALF and will give it a shot which is a big call for a skeptic like myself.
