“In 50 years time when people realise what 21st century medicine has done - the pain & suffering it has caused driven by ignorance & greed - the medieval barber surgeons with their humours & bloodletting are going to look like Nobel laureates.”

The two videos below concern the use of muscle testing to determine which dental restorations and dental crowns (if any) might be affecting your overall strength, muscle tone and ultimately health.
However, the simple muscle testing technique shown in the short video has much wider applications as outlined below. This is a simple, powerful, free and easy test to help you to help yourself back to health.
Muscle testing and kinesiology
Muscle testing is the basis of kinesiology which uses light pressure applied by the therapist usually to the client's arm, but sometimes to the leg, to assess whether the individual being tested is strengthened or weakened by substances or other issues.
This is a binary system, so that effectively only weak or strong responses are elicited. Having said that, computers work entirely on a binary system of coding (0 or 1) and we all appreciate how complex information can be transmitted using this simple system.
Kinesiology is the art and science of muscle testing to elicit these responses to a variety of substances or emotional issues.
DIY muscle testing
You can try the muscle testing technique shown in this video for yourself by using a light weight of some sort.
Muscle testing foods
First, you may want to muscle test yourself to foods such as dairy products and/or wheat. Holding the weight in your hand as shown, first establish the ease and range of movement on both sides of your body whilst holding the weight. Then, with your other hand, hold the food being tested against your upper abdomen and repeat.
If your range or ease of movement is diminished this means that the food being tested has a detrimental effect upon the biodynamic system that you know as your body.
If your range or ease of motion is unaffected then the foodstuff probably has a neutral effect and if it is enhanced, then these foods are supportive of your health.
This can also depend upon how the particular food has been grown, treated and stored so that apples in general may be supportive, but one particular batch may be neutral or detrimental to your health. Most people, for instance, will muscle test strong to pure water and most will muscle test weak to processed, sugary foods, margarine or artificial sweeteners.
Other applications
Muscle testing supplements
You can also use this muscle testing technique to test supplements in the same way as foods and so dynamically tailor your needs on a weekly, monthly or occasional basis.
Muscle testing appliances
You can expand this muscle test to include testing appliances such as your cell phone or any appliances that you keep next to the bed.
Muscle testing locations
Various locations in your house or office may unknowingly be adversely affecting you and you can assess these too using this muscle test.
Muscle testing emotional issues
You may also care to experiment with the emotional aspects of this muscle testing technique. Pretest as described above. Then, thinking about someone you love and/or saying their name repeat the muscle test and note the result. Then think of someone with whom you have a difficult or problematic relationship and/or say their name and repeat. You may be surprised to discover that even thinking about this person profoundly affects all your energy circuitry temporarily!
Muscle testing dental work
The muscle testing technique shown can be valuable to assess which dental restorations and dental crowns (if any) might be adversely affecting your health. Systematically touch all your teeth repeating the muscle test and making a note of the responses. Please note that the responses elicited using muscle testing may be counter-intuitive so that dental restorations or dental crowns that are adversely affecting you when touched can cause an increase in strength and range of movement.
I cannot currently offer an explanation as to why this is so, other than to suggest that when touching a problematic dental restoration or dental crown you enable a ‘dammed’ energy to flow. If no adverse mucle testing responses are elicited, then your dental restorative status and/or oral health may not be a causative issue in your chronic or fatiguing illness. However, if your muscle testing responses change dramatically on contacting individual teeth then you may need to give consideration to your oral health and/or replacing dental restorations or dental crowns at some stage in order to recover.
How does muscle testing work?
As you can see, muscle testing is a valuable tool that can be used in a multiplicity of ways. How does it work? Well, I don't think anyone has the ultimate answer to that one - other than to say that it does and that the information gained from muscle testing proves to be valuable and accurate especially when assessed over time. Different explanations can be offered. All involve the meridian system used by acupuncturists which is a system of energy flows within the body that have been carefully mapped and used in the East over millennia.
All also involve regarding the body as more than a mechanistic lump of flesh that is separate from the universe that surrounds it. Some believe that muscle testing may be accessing your vast subconscious mind, some your supraconscious mind, others the innate intelligence of your body and yet others think that this reality is a holographic simulation and that you are effectively accessing the universal database!
Take your pick, but ultimately it doesn't matter if you find the information gained from muscle testing to be valuable and true.
The adverse effects of dental restorations
The effect that dental restorations have upon the energy systems of the body may be many-fold. First, the metals used in dental restorations may be toxic in and of themselves and this is certainly the case with dental amalgam which contains half liquid mercury. There are also electrical and galvanic actions between the various different metals used in dental restorations and dental crowns which may account for some of the effect. Finally, and significantly, all the meridians flow through the teeth and implanting any form of metal dental restoration or dental crown within the body may serve to act as an efficient barrier to these meridian energy flows.
The intelligent body
One thing that you do realise as a kinesiologist, is that there is no such thing as perfect health. The body is constantly dynamically responding to a whole host of influences both internal and external and there are all sorts of means of compensation built into the system. Many muscular aches and pains in the limbs, for example, are ultimately related to the function of internal organs that may be in distress and the muscles becoming tense is a ‘safety valve’ for these vital organs where function must be preserved at all costs.
You also come to understand that the body is always doing the most intelligent and least damaging thing that it can do under any given set of circumstances, however mystifying that may seem to us at the time. Treating the symptom – in this case the muscular spasm – will do little to resolve the issue which will recur with treatment only ever providing temporary relief until the cause is identified and addressed. For example, both shoulder pain - especially on the right hand side and knee pain or stiffness may relate to underlying gall bladder problems.
