Western medicine has names for thousands of different diseases and more are being discovered, named or invented all the time. But in my lifetime of studying what causes those diseases, I’ve found that there are only seven stress factors that affect your health. Those stressors are:

1. Poor Nutrition (Dietary Deficiencies or Excesses)
2. Toxicities (Heavy Metals and Chemicals)
3. Bugs and Parasites (a.k.a. Germs and Worms)
4. Trauma/Microtrauma
5. Negative Thoughts/Emotions
6. Toxic Energy Sources (Radiation, EMF, etc.)
7. Hormone Imbalance

What about genetics as a cause? Most of the genetic problems we see in this generation were caused by one or more of the above stressors in a past generation.

These seven stressors are the root causes of all disease. Many disease processes are caused by a combination of these stressors, but there is usually one that is the primary or root cause. The tricky thing is what’s primary for one case of MS or breast cancer may not be primary for another. Also, a particular stressor may cause one disease in one person and a completely different disease (or no disease) in another. Since there are only seven stress factors, all we have to do in order to handle a person’s health challenges is figure out which stressor or stressors are the primary issues and then do our best to reverse them. While this sort of divination is virtually impossible using Western medicine’s antiquated diagnostic techniques (blood testing, x-rays, CT, MRI, etc.), in my office, it’s a simple matter. That’s because we used a very advanced form of testing called muscle testing.

Muscle testing is simple to describe but hard to explain because it’s essentially an energy medicine technique that’s years ahead of what science currently understands. The fuzzy field of quantum physics is most likely where we’ll find the answers to why muscle testing works, but don’t wait for that. For now, just be assured that it does work.

The way it works is simply this: the patient holds one of her arms out in front of her and the doctor pushes down on the arm feeling for the arm to “lock” or hold in place. So a strong arm is the starting point. The doctor can then touch certain areas on the patient’s body, called reflex points, and re-test the arm. If the arm goes weak or fails to lock, there is an energetic blockage or some kind of problem with the organ that corresponds to that reflex. In other words, if I put my hand over your liver reflex point and your arm goes weak, there is a problem with your liver.

We can then introduce certain items into the person’s energy field and see if they affect the liver. Since muscle testing is binary (i.e. there is only strong or weak), we’re basically looking for a change in the test. So if the liver was weak, we’re looking for something to make it strong. Any factor that strengthens the liver is either the cause of the liver’s problem or it’s something that will help correct it—depending on how the testing is being done. So if your liver is being affected by an overgrowth of yeast, the test kit will help us to determine that. Then, different supplements, herbs, or homeopathic remedies (especially those slanted toward getting rid of yeast) can be introduced to see if they strengthen the liver.

The organ can then be “pulsed.” What that means is, the doctor will push down on the arm repeatedly, counting one, two, three… to see when the arm finally drops. For most organs, the ideal pulse is ten. The doctor will continue adding supplements until s/he finds the right combination that gives the liver a pulse of ten.

Once all organs are pulsing at the correct level, the patient has their supplement program. At that point, the doctor can use a technique similar to pulsing to figure out what the correct dose is for each supplement.
In addition to figuring out the right supplements for a patient, muscle testing can be used to detect allergies or sensitivities, emotional issues, energy blockages, areas of spinal misalignments, etc. As such, there are many techniques that use muscle testing including Applied Kinesiology, Nutrition Response Testing, Contact Reflex Analysis, NAET, BioSET, Neuro-Emotional Technique, Total Body Modification, and many more. Using these techniques, I see miracles almost daily in my office. There is no amount of blood, urine, hair, stool, saliva or radiographic testing that can come close to equaling what a trained practitioner can find using muscle testing.

Though any health care practitioner can use muscle testing, most of the practitioners using it tend to be chiropractors. While some chiropractors focus primarily on treating disorders of the spine, many have a very broad scope and can be seen as holistic family practice doctors. These doctors can be invaluable in helping you to regain your health. Find someone who uses muscle testing in your area to help you get to the root of your health issues. I promise you, you’ll be glad you did.

Until you get in to see someone who does this sort of testing, there are things you can do to combat each of the seven stress factors. I call these, “The 20 Steps to Perfect Health.” These can be found on my website www.HealthIsNatural.com. They‘re also discussed more fully in my book “Thugs, Drugs and the War On Bugs”.
