Nutrition Response Testing

One of the methods that I use to help me choose treatments for my patients is Nutrition Response Testing. This is essentially muscle testing, or Applied Kinesiology, using a person as the indirect tester for the pet. I muscle test the person (often the pet's owner, but not always), using the anterior deltoid as my indicator muscle. With both of us physically touching the patient, we evaluate the status of the sympathetic nervous system, scan the body to get an idea of which systems are under stress, differentiate which stressor is affecting the target organ or system, and individualize a treatment plan that is specific for that patient.
Muscle testing is one of my favorite methods to use. It allows us to bypass the thinking logic of the brain, and to ask the patient's body directly which treatment will be most beneficial for the organism as a whole.
I use Standard Process supplements almost exclusively. They are manufactured under strict quality controls, from organic ingredients, and the formulas are scientifically derived, backed by years of research. Standard Process makes a wide range of supplements for humans. They also make a small line of cat, dog, and horse products.
The need for differentiation becomes clear, when you consider, for example, that there are perhaps 5 supplements that will act directly on the liver, and 25 others that will indirectly benefit the liver. How can we decide which supplement will be most helpful? Are there other organs affected which also require support?
This is where muscle testing stands out as one of the most important tools in my practice. As long as we trust the answers that we receive directly from the patient's body, and trust that the body is a self-healing organism that has its own agenda of priorities, we will improve the success of our treatments and help heal our patients in the process.
