Homeopathy: Testing Innate Intelligence

Homeopathy was once a complex healing art relegated to only a few doc­tors who have dedicated their lives to its study. Now, new contemporary break­throughs make homeopathy fast, easy and more effec­tive for the chiropractic phy­sician. There is no single testing method that reveals every­thing you need to know. However, the quick sublingual reflex test, using homeopathy, will empower you to help a greater diversity of problems than any other adjunct to chiropractic. With over 20 years" research experi­ence. 1 can report to you with confidence that sub-lingual reflex testing is not only as accurate as any other testing method, but it also has several other advantages. It is basically free; any chiropractor can integrate it easily and confidently; it in­creases patient awareness and participa­tion in their own healing; it dramatically increases results: and. it can give you in­formation that the laboratory cannot. Through sublingual reflex responses, the human being can communicate what the body needs or does not need. These messages can be interpreted through the leg length check and/or the muscle test. There is no laboratory or lab test that can replace what this test reveals. The Leg Check Procedure You may use a leg check procedure ei­ther as an alternative to. or in conjunc­tion with, the muscle test procedure. It takes only a few seconds to confirm a positive response, and the procedure can be used before or after the adjustment with equal effectiveness. With the patient supine: 1. Check the leg length. 2. Place a small amount of the formula under the tongue. 3. In 5-7 seconds, recheck, the leg length. Ifthereisa change either way—a short leg becoming even or re­versing, or even legs be­coming uneven—this indi­cates a positive response. A positive response means that the patient needs the formula being tested. No change means the patient does not need the formula. The Muscle Test Procedure With the patient supine: 1. Ask the patient whether any degenera­tion or inflammation of the shoulder or arm exists. If so, test the good arm. If not. proceed. 2. Instruct the patient to extend the arm straight up to the ceiling (90 degrees) and lock the elbow straight. 3. Stand alongside the patient and at­tempt to pull the ami down and slightly away from the body, while the patient resists this movement. 4. Test this two or three times to confirm muscle strength or weakness. 5. Place a small amount of the formula under the tongue. 6. In 5-7 seconds, test the muscle again. If the formula will have a positive in­fluence on the body, either a previously strong muscle will temporarily be­come weak, or a previously weak muscle will become temporarily strong within about 5 seconds. This is unique to homeopathic formulas. Nutritional and herbal products will not test in the same manor as homeopathic products. Patient Dialogue Good explanations of testing proce­dures provide comfort and confidence to the patient. This, in return, will impart comfort and confidence to the doctor. I explain to the patient who is lying supine on the table that, "We have a way of test­ing a remedy to see if your body will re­spond to the remedy. 1 don't have to guess which remedy to give, like most other doctors. What I am testing will have no side effects and is completely natural. I will be placing a small amount of this remedy under your tongue. I want you to hold the remedy in your mouth and do not swallow." This way the patient will not instinctively swallow the remedy. I explain to the patient that there is more area of their brain allocated to the sublin-gual nerve pathway under the tongue than any other part of their body. "This nerve pathway is sending messages to your brain and back to all 100 trillion cells of your body about this remedy, at an aver­age speed of 200 MPH, which takes about 5-7 seconds." Now I test the leg length and/or the muscle again. Certain patients, if under the influence of certain medication, high stress or hy-pothyroidism, may take up to 10-to-30 seconds for a response. When testing a patient for the first time, it is wise to test them a few times during this 30-second period, if these influences are suspected. Once you get your first reflex response, make note, if the reflex time is longer, for your future reference. Not knowing these expectations could provide a false nega­tive response and you'll miss the oppor­tunity to help that patient. There are many ways to communicate this to your patient and also many styles of muscle testing, such as using the muscle associ­ated with the problem area. The proce­dures I have explained, however, have worked consistently and are the simplest to perform. If other formulas are considered neces­sary, after a patient has tested positive, have the patient do repeated swallowing approximately 5-6 times, until the reflex tests have returned to their original state. When a strong muscle goes weak with the appropriate homeopathic formula, a patient may think the formula is making them weak. I recommend your clarifying that this response is not making them weak. I explain that this is only a reflex response, similar to hitting the knee with a reflex hammer, which will cause the knee to jerk the leg forward. If you are uncom­fortable or unfamiliar with muscle testing techniques, it is recommended that you consult a doctor who is familiar with Ap­plied Kinesiology, or take a course in muscle testing. Some doctors use a leg length check with a formula, such as with DNFT or Activator Technique. Others may use the Toffness instrument. With testing procedures like these, we are equipped to crack these difficult or so-called incurable cases that others do not know how to solve. With a little wis­dom, insight and persistence applied to our procedures, you will be known as the doctor to see for difficult cases.
