Muscle Response Testing

Biokinesiology

What is It?

Muscle Response Testing (M.R.T.) also called Biokinesiology uses a muscle as a way of coming into dialogue with your systems; or talking and listening to the body.

A light pressure is applied to a muscle (example; an outstretched arm). The response, of resistance or release, communicates to the practitioner what imbalances are present and what rebalancing techniques are appropriate.

How does it work?

Muscle testing uses the body's own computer, the brain, along with its electrochemical circuits of interaction with organs, muscles, and diverse tissues, to determine the internal integrity of the body as well as its nutritional requirements. Biokinesiology muscle-testing procedure removes the guesswork when determining the nutritional needs of the individual. A Biokinesiology Nutritional Consultant can therefore provide a beneficial program that is tailor-made for the individual. Read More....

With (M.R.T.) we can track to the source of a problem. It works with the self healing process - acknowledging that the body knows what it needs to bring about balance or change unresolved issues -- structural, physiological and emotional traumas that the body has accumulated -- can pile up like layers in our body.

Using the Muscle Response Testing, we identify which layer needs to be addressed first. . . . As the problems of that layer are resolved, the body presents the next layer to be addressed. By honoring the body's wisdom and recognizing its innate ability to communicate what is most important in the healing process, we are able to identify the appropriate sequence and protocol for each layer of healing.

Nutritional supplements and herbal formulas are used to assist the body during periods of detoxification, cleansing and rebuilding. If indicated, chiropractic adjustments, electro-emotional adjustments and lifestyle changes are suggested to assist the body through the healing process.

The client being tested holds his or her arm out to the side and doesn't let it drop when the health professional pushes down. Then the health professional touches a part of the body and pushes down on the arm again. If the arm becomes weaker that shows a problem with the part of the body connected with that touched point.

What is tested first?

First the amount of electricity in the body is checked. If there is not enough electricity there are certain things the client does to build that up before any further testing can be done. Just this will get an improvement for the patient.

Then the health professional goes down a check list of buttons in an exact order and tests for weakness in a muscle. When he finds a button which tests weak he may have found the problem... or he may have to test another set of buttons, once again in an exact order to find the real problem.

The "real, real" problem may not even show up the first visit. Often there are several layers of problems which need to be fixed. They come off in layers like an onion. At times a problem cannot be fixed because it is protecting the body from another problem.

Common Factors Causing Muscle Weakness

1. Misalignments of skeleton, skull and atlas.
2. Deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, hormones, enzymes.
3. Foods and other items which cause Allergies in many people: Nuts except almonds, all fruit skins except cherries, cherry tomatoes and grapes, all unripe fruit, iceberg lettuce, many brands of chewing gum, many brands of soft drinks, most tap water and some bottled water, most breads, bananas, granola, protein powders, powdered foods such as flour, most oils and fats, cosmetics, lipsticks, hairsprays, deodorants, raw egg whites, most homogenized or pasteurized milks, many cheeses, all foods containing refined sugars, just about all drugs, tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, bottled or canned fruit juices, some meats, spices and dressings, many dried fruits.
4. Allergies to clothing, make up, drugs, lighting.
5. Overexposure to Colors.
6. Toxic conditions of the body: Cancer: Continual irritation of tissue cells.
7. Uneven muscle development.
8. Destructive thought patterns: Attitude makes a difference.
9. Ileocecal Valve & Parasites - Fifty percent of people have an open ileocecal valve. Allows fecal matter to flow back into small intestines from large intestine/colon causing toxicity and reabsorption. Theory is parasites cause malfunction of ileocecal valve. Treat parasites and valve closes on own. Perform ileocecal valve massage daily which may be useful. Ninety percent of people who suffer from headaches have open valve.
10. Hiatal Hernia - This is when the diaphram becomes weak, the stomach can be pushed up into the diaphram which can put pressure on the heart and lungs. Possible Treatments: Drink warm water, bounce on toes, pull down stomach by Chiropractor. Symptoms include burning in chest due to acid in stomach, shortness of breath, feeling of fullness, loss of appetite and inability to eat large meal, angina-like pains, indigestion and a lot of gas in the stomach, pain in the area of the stomach, and difficulty swallowing.
11. Skull & Atlas Misalignment- Ninety percent of people have misalignment of the skull bones. Can put pressure on the brain and cause weakness throughout entire skeletal system and body. Realign skull and atlas and body heals quickly. (Have checked 2x/s per year or if in accident by Chiropractor)

Here is the empowered scenario. You feel like something could be missing in your diet. So you ask, using a pendulum or muscle testing, if something is in fact missing in your diet. You get a "yes." So you start asking questions like, "Do I need a multi vitamin?" "Do I need more trace minerals?" "Do I need an energy supplement?" "Do I need a green supplement?" Very quickly you will have narrowed down exactly what you need. Say the answer was a green supplement. You then go to the health food store or on-line and check out the green supplements. There are at least ten, maybe more. So you ask, "Is what I need here on this shelf (or this page)?" You continue to narrow it down until you have the one bottle that is exactly what you need. There are no unanswered questions. And within a few days you will feel that you body is receiving what it needed. You will feel different. You will feel better. And you will "know" its what your body needed.

In the unempowered scenario you waste time, energy, and money on things you "think" you could use. I now often recommend using a pendulum or muscle testing as a way of saving money.
