Hey Tina,
I was curious about what you said regarding a muscle test to see what was going on with me to cause the milk allergy. What exactly is a muscle test and what can it help you determine? Is it similar to kinesiology (sp)? I took my son to a naturopath who was not a christian and I had a really bad feeling about it afterward, very new-agey.
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Yes , muscle testing is Kinesiology. There is a science behind it , however the point you brought up is exactly my concern with it. Being a nurse in the past has made me search out the science in Natural Medicine. I don't know who the new age docs are praying to or what they are praying. I do understand the science behind it and pray with each of my patients, so I am convinced that none of it is new agey.
This is how it works: The body has a specific energy just like every peice of matter on this earth. Since each person and each type of matter has a different energy, it is fair to say that some energies are not going to agree with each other. A good example of this is how two magnets will repel each other. The body will repel certain foods just like the magnet repels another magnet.
There are several things that can affect an accurate muscle test, so the person doing it needs to be educated on how they do it. There are certain things that I don't feel comfortable with at this point. I actually use the real food to test the person as opposed to just speaking the name of the food and testing. I feel that this makes the client much more comfortable as well. I hope this helps. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I felt there was a science behind it but with this particular person it felt more like witchcraft than science. Knowing that the person conducting it is a Christian would certainly make me ALOT more comfortable with it! You're right, you wonder what "powers" they are asking for help from or praying to, yuck. Do you have an actual practice where you do consultations and testing and such? I have taken dairy out of my son's life for a couple of weeks to see if it helps resolve some of his symptoms and it would be nice to know if he truly has a problem with it as it is hard to find foods without it. He is very, very fair with perpetual "allergic shiners." He also has recurring sinus headaches. I had allergy testing done (skin test) and the nurse said he wasn't allergic to milk but I thought the reaction looked like an allergic one, plus, I didn't show allergic to it either but I still react strongly to it with the itching and coughing and such.
His,
Chris

I do see clients on Wednesday at CCWC. Allergic shiners can also be a sign of adrenal gland weakness
