The History of Muscle Testing/Kinesiology

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

1. Began with Chiropractic and used to verify misalignments of the skull and spine, and muscle weaknesses.
2. Verifies Chinese beliefs related to Pulse testing (each meridian point has different pulse)
3. Verifies Acupuncture needles redirect energy. Acupuncture needles change energy flow, opening up channels.
4. Verifies there are 12 meridians (6 on each side of the body).
5. Verifies that Chinese acupuncture theories are correct.
6. Vertifies that illness is caused by toxins, deficiencies, misalignment, and allergies.
7. Excellent for Prevention - Prevent weaknesses before symptoms appear.

Common Factors Causing Muscle Weakness

1. Misalignments of skeleton, skull and atlas.
2. Deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, hormones, enzymes.
3. 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.
4. Alleriges to clothing, make up, drugs, lighting.
5. Overexposure to Colors.
6. Toxic conditions of the body: Cancer: Continual irritation of tissue cells.
7. Uneven muscle development.
8. Destructive thought patterns: Attitude makes a difference.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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)
