Let Your Body Speak with Muscle Reflex Testing

What do you do when you have uncomfortable symptoms and laboratory testing isn’t helping with the diagnosis? Or when the best-chosen treatments aren’t working, or your body reacts to the medicine you’re taking?

 

I recently completed training in a method of muscle reflex testing which aims to answer these questions. This intuitive testing has helped me identify the biggest stressors on my patients. Often these stressors are hidden, and block the body’s ability to accept another form of treatment until they are handled. I have found that the five biggest stressors on the body are chemicals, food allergies, heavy metals, scars, and immune challenges.

 

Muscle reflex testing taps into the strength of certain muscle groups, which are either strong or weak when challenged. Different reflex points are used to determine the relative strength of organs or glands. While muscle testing cannot be used exclusively or instead of laboratory diagnosis, it is a great resource to answer some of the mysteries that disrupt your body’s balance.

For example, I recently had a patient with sudden-onset swelling of the hands and feet. She had been to her primary care physician who ran thousands of dollars worth of tests, and all of them came back with normal results. We found through muscle reflex testing that “industrial chemicals” were a specific stressor on her body and were interfering with water regulation. She told me she had just put in new hardwood floors in the house and wasn’t opening the windows since it was so hot outside. I had her ventilate the house, gave her a toxin cleansing regime for 2 weeks, and all of her swelling went away.

 

Another patient was suffering from hot flashes and did not want to use hormone replacement. Her body tested positive to “fungal immune challenges”, and once we treated her immune system with anti-fungal medication, her hot flashes cleared. In both of these cases, muscle reflex testing was the key to helping me find the right treatment.
