Questions and Answers

The body is run by chemical and electrical signals sent from and to the brain through the spinal cord via the hard wired and fluid nervous system. All organs and tissues are controlled by the brain and nervous system. All of the hundreds of muscles are also controlled by and connected to the nervous system. We use this information to access the body itself to test for a wide variety of concerns, including the various body systems and the body's reaction to foods and substances in the environment.

Muscle testing is the most direct, fastest, least expensive, non-invasive method to quickly and accurately determine what is causing your problems with minimal or no side effects. If something interferes with the transmission of these electrical impulses, disease (lack of ease of energy flow) eventually occurs. It is like a dimmer switch on a light fixture. If the electricity is lessened, the bulb becomes dimmer or completely dark. Likewise, if the chemical and electrical signals running your body that travel from brain to body part or muscle are interfered with, either mechanically by misaligned vertebrae, tight muscles, chemically by foods or other substances, your organ function can be adversely affected, and your muscles will weaken!

We can use this physiological fact to directly test your muscle response to determine what is wrong with your body and what is causing the dysfunction.

There have been a number of studies done looking at the effectiveness of muscle testing since it has become such a widely used approach to natural health care. Click here to view some of these.
