> Siri,
> Thanks for your interesting post. Tell me, how is muscle testing done? I have never heard of it. And, what kind of professional would do it? A nutritionist?I just did a search on Google (type
in "Kinesiology"). There were thousands of listings. This one seemed like an informative site. It's based on "Touch For Health" which is one of the classic Kinesiology schools.
http://www.lexicon.net/lightman/default.htmI seem to notice more Chiropractors practising Kinesiology rather then M.D.'s. You might look up the Chiropractors in your yellow pages and see if any of them mention that they do Kinesiology.
My doctor (who is a Chiropractor) muscle-tested me for all sorts of foods and found several that i was allergic to. I feel better when I don't eat those foods, or just indulge in them for special occasions. She also found some foods that tested so good for me that they are practically medicinal: Lamb and Beef, surprisingly. That was when I stopped being a vegetarian. We discovered that I was getting blown away by perfumes, so I did a search around my house and discovered that it was the scent in the kitty litter that was messing me up. Switched to unscented kitty litter and a lot of my irritability just disappeared!
Basically, muscle-testing is done by having you hold some food or a supplement or whatever, and the doctor presses down on your outstretched arm to see if it gets stronger or weaker. It's more intricate than that- they test all the internal organs and nerve flow pathways and a lot more, to find the source of the imbalances, then they test to see what will work best to remedy the imbalances. Kinesiologists are usually highly trained in nutrition but they customize their recommendations according to what your body tells them it needs.
Thanks for the welcome; it feels friendly here. I am learning a lot from this forum.
Best regards,
siri
