The History of Kinesiology/Muscle Testing
By: Brenda R. Generali, C.N.C.
Introduction
Muscle Testing provides a means of testing the strength of most of the major
muscles of the body individually.
History of Kinesiology/Muscle Testing
- Began with Chiropractic and used to verify misalignments of the skull and
spine, and muscle weaknesses.
- Verifies Chinese beliefs related to Pulse testing (each meridian point
has different pulse)
- Verifies Acupuncture needles redirect energy. Acupuncture needles
change energy flow, opening up channels.
- Verifies there are 12 meridians (6 on each side of the body).
- Verifies that Chinese acupuncture theories are correct.
- Vertifies that illness is caused by toxins, deficiencies, misalignment,
and allergies.
- Excellent for Prevention - Prevent weaknesses before symptoms appear.
Common Factors Causing Muscle Weakness
- Misalignments of skeleton, skull and atlas.
- Deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, hormones, enzymes.
- Foods and other items which cause Allergies in many people: Nuts
except almonds, all fruit skins except cherries, cherry tomatoes and grapes,
all unripe fruit, iceberg lettuce, many brands of chewing gum, many brands
of soft drinks,most tap water and some bottled water, most breads, bananas,
granola, protein powders, powdered foods such as flour, most oils and fats,
cosmetics, lipsticks, hairsprays, deodorants, raw egg whites, most
homogenized or pasturized milks, many cheeses, all foods containing refined
sugars, just about all drugs, tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, bottled or
canned fruit juices, some meats, spices and dressings, many dried fruits.
- Alleriges to clothing, make up, drugs, lighting.
- Overexposure to Colors.
- Toxic conditions of the body: Cancer: Continual irritation of tissue
cells.
- Uneven muscle development.
- Destructive thought patterns: Attitude makes a difference.
- Ileocecal Valve & Parasites - Fifty percent of people have an open
ileocecal valve. Allows fecal matter to flow back into small intestines
from large intestine/colon causing toxicity and reabsorption. Theory is
parasites cause malfunction of ileocecal valve. Treat parasites and valve
closes on own. Perform ileocecal valve massage daily which may be useful.
Ninety percent of people who suffer from headaches have open valve.
- Hiatal Hernia - This is when the diaphram becomes weak, the
stomach can be pushed up into the diaphram which can put pressure on the
heart and lungs. Possible Treatments: Drink warm water, bounce on toes,
pull down stomach by Chiropractor. Symptoms include burning in chest due to
acid in stomach, shortness of breath, feeling of fullness, loss of appetite
and inability to eat large meal, angina-like pains, indigestion and a lot of
gas in the stomach, pain in the area of the stomach, and difficulty
swallowing.
- Skull & Atlas Misalignment - Ninety percent of people have
misalignment of the skull bones. Can put pressure on the brain and cause
weakness throughout entire skeletal system and body. Realign skull and
atlas and body heals quickly. (Have checked 2x/s per year or if in accident
by Chiropractor)
