Muscle Testing Diagnosis
(from unpublished manuscript Napoleon’s Bathtub)

Muscle testing is a diagnostic tool used in Kinesiology. Basically, the muscles read the frequency of the area tested. It is an incredible method for determining the reality of discomforts and pains. I’ve never known it to fail. It has uncovered food allergies and diagnosed bleeding ulcers, Epstein Barr and an endless array of disease. It has also eased the minds of many who feared illness that didn’t exist.

A basic knowledge of functional anatomy is necessary to facilitate muscle testing. The exact location of internal organs, glands, nerve plexus and major muscle groups can be found in illustrated anatomy books such as The Johns Hopkins Atlas of Human Functional Anatomy. This reference allows one to know what internal area of the body is being tested.

Try these techniques and you will find them as amazing as a NYC neighbor who experienced chronic severe stomach pain. Several MDs were unable to diagnose the problem. He was scheduled to have a series of expensive food allergy tests when he came to see me. We muscle tested the food he ate regularly and immediately discovered cheese was the culprit. He dropped the cheese and his problem ended. He did not have the allergy tests run, which saved him hundreds of dollars.

Techniques:

Seated in a chair, hold the left-arm out to the side, shoulder height. The arm must be absolutely parallel to the floor. Have someone attempt to push the arm down with a gentle push. This isn’t a battle of strength. The assistant applies just enough pressure to check that the arm holds its position. Don’t overcompensate by raising your arm a tiny bit. Try to maintain the original position.

After left-arm strength is determined, put the right-hand directly over the area to be tested and hold the left-arm out to the side again. Have the assistant push down on the arm with a little less weight than known to move your arm down. If the arm drops under less pressure there is a problem in the area.

If you have digestive problems test the foods eaten regularly. Put a small amount of food in the mouth, chew it and hold it in the mouth while the left-arm is muscle tested. When the food is incompatible with your system, the arm will drop when tested. Vitamins and medicine can be tested in the same way. After determining the vitamin is compatible, test the amount to be taken by piling a few on the chest. When your limit is reached, the arm will go flat. An interesting test for smokers is to place an unlit cigarette in the mouth and watch the arm go flat. With the cigarette still in place, pile Vitamin C on the chest and the arm becomes stronger.

If you don’t have an assistance to help with testing, you can use the Jug Method. Fill a gallon glass jug half full of water.A very strong person may need to fill the jug full with water or sand. Stand or sit in a relaxed posture with the shoulders level. Hold the jug handle with the index finger of either hand, preferably the left. Keep the hand and wrist relaxed with the palm facing forward.Slowly and steadily lift the jug until the arm is horizontal. Don’t move or readjust the body while lifting the jug. If the jug is too heavy or too light, make the appropriate adjustment in jug contents. The jug should be a little too heavy to lift all the way with a straight arm. At this point pour out a little of the contents and it will be the right weight. Now you can muscle test whatever you want to test. For example, hold a glass of milk in your right hand and lift the jug with your left arm. Or check out any internal area by placing your right hand over a specific organ and lift the jug.

Often stress, physical tension, old age produces aches and pains that demand a change in diet and or life style. Muscle testing allows one to avoid costly and unnecessary medical exams and endless exploratory testing. It’s the only reliable way to determine the need to seek help from Oriental medicine or a MD of western medicine.
