Muscle Testing Questions

Posted by Bill on July 15, 2003 at 02:29:48:

Hi, i have started experimenting with muscle testing to try to protect myself from future allergic reactions.

I have used the so-called o-ring test and so far have found nothing that causes muscle weakness - even common allergens like peanuts. How effective or reliable is muscle testing?

Also, i am a little confused as to how to properly test substances. For instance, when dealing with lotions and creams, can you test holding the stuff in its container (in their jars or tubes for instance) - without having the stuff on your hand. Same thing for vitamins. Do you have to take some out of the capsule and have it exposed on your hand to effectively test it?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Bill

Hi Bill - I've personally found that muscle testing is 99% reliable, if performed correctly. Hold the item to be tested with both hands, next to your stomach. Close your eyes and concentrate on; it this product good or back for my health. If you feel yourself moving backwards, the item is bad for your health. However, if you feel yourself being pulled forwards, then the item you are holding is good for your health. Lotions and creams can be tested by rubbing them on your hands. Foods and beverages can be tested by putting only one item in your mouth or you can hold the item in your hand. When I test capsules, if I test negative for a certain capsule, I then take the product out of the capsule and retest it, because I've found that some capsule material test negative on it's own. Do Not let your mind influence the test because if you want that item to test positive, or good for your health, it will. Simply keep asking yourself, is this item good or bad for my health. * S.H.A.P.E. *

more and more intriqued by this muscle testing everyday. i saw a man at a wellness center, he does acupunture and a nutrtionist, but also kinesology, still a bit skeptical but the more i read the more i see how it *can* work. still like scientific research though.

SHAPE, what do you think about the pendulum?

Thanks, S.H.A.P.E.!

You've answered a couple of questions that I've had for some time. 1. Does it really work? 2. I never realized I could perform muscle testing on myself. Always thought one had to have someone knowledgeable in it.

I think I will stick with the o-ring technique because it is the one i am familiar with and find easy to use.

However, i will make use of your other suggestions.

Thanks.

Hi, Bill.

What is the "o-ring test"?

The official name is: The Omura Bi-Digital O-Ring Test. Same principles as applied kinesiology but uses different muscles.

Basically, you use your thumb in conjunction with one of the other fingers on the same hand. You put the finger tips of the fingers together to form a ring. The 2 fingers should form a strong resistance, but not be impossible to separate.

You place the substance to be tested in the same hand as the o-ring hand - holding it in the fingers not being used to form the ring. Then you use the index finger of the other hand to try to force the 2 fingers apart. Presumably, if you are allergic to the substance, you should be able to separate them. If you are not, then you shouldn't be able to break open the ring. You are also supposed to keep your elbows at least 6 inches away from your kidneys to prevent interference.

Source: Allergy Free by Konrad Kail, ND and Robert Lawrence. Very good book on allergies by the way.

Thanks, Bill.

I still think the most consistant muscle testing is with a sports store's hand held dynamometer. That way all the individual vagaries are canceled out. The only proglem is that it is not as sensitive as a properly functioning human.

One thing I can add is that you have to clear you mind when you're doing the self-test. Try to be an air-head for a moment and think of absolutely nothing when you're testing a substance and it's amazing how different the result can be.

Right on, W!

This is exactly what makes the difference between accuracy and flummoxry. Some people cannot achieve this state of mind no matter how much training they have had.
