What Is Muscle Testing & What Is It Used For?

[@drekberg]

Here is another video on muscle testing. It is great for the skeptics out there. 🔷 Watch this next: How To Do Applied Kinesiology kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZTIaWttjZ6cj9U

I have to admire the explanation that you have put together for this modality. I have been using AK for 30 years now and always have a difficult time explaining it to friends I work on. This video is a keeper. I will share with friends that don't understand the concept but love to have it done.

Your video is one of the very best explanations about muscle testing. Perhaps I had witnessed enough 'BS' use of muscle testing that I became skeptical...but skeptical more of the person doing it than the muscle testing itself. I sensed there must be something valid to it. I am very much a mind/body/spirit person, but just did not trust all the woo-woo around it nor the motives/expertise behind some of the people doing it. I am so pleased you did this video. It confirms so much and makes utter sense...as do all you videos. Thank you! (In an ideal world, basic human physiology would be taught in school.)

My holistic Doctor did this a few times on me. It's just amazing and weird to realize that you can't influence what your body does or doesn't do. I really tried to keep my arm up, it wasn't possible - no chance. She tested a few substances for me this way, this women simply saved my life!

Great video and really good information. Thank you dr Ekberg. My first experience with A.K was in 1998 in Florida with my Chiro that is also proficient in A.K. I was strange at the beginning and I was thinking this was witchcraft. Now I swear by A.K. I do not see any Chiro that does not do A.K. After graduating as an L.M.T I took 125 hours for an energy Kinesiology certification in Long Beach CA. Since then I practice and really love it. keep up the good work!

Can you do a video on Aura migraines/headaches etc?? I heard that migraines come from poor digestion or hormonal imbalance (high estrogen) The first time I ever experienced these migraines I was on birth control for my irregular periods at 15 so I can only assume it was the estrogen! I have gotten 3 aura Migraines in the last 4 years (not frequently but still stressful) and want to get your take on them! Absolutely LOVE your videos. I have watched every single video. And you are my all time favourite KZbinr!! So I would love to see this topic done by you! Much love from Canada!! ❤️❤️

[@drekberg]

Migraines are vascular headaches. They are caused by vasoconstriction that robs the brain of oxygen causing the aura. Then when the vasoconstriction finally releases, the blood comes rushing in and every heart beat feels like throbbing pain. There can be hundreds of reasons for the vasoconstriction, usually hormones, food reaction etc. We use Nutrition Response testing to find the cause. There are some people in Canada doing it. Not sure I have enough on this for a whole video, but I'll put it on the list. Thanks for your support.

[@zjunegirl1862]

Dr. Sten Ekberg wow! Thank you! I would assume stress and lack of exercise could cause this too? I am going to look into nutritional testing

[@timclark6379]

I know this video is 5 years old but very helpful! I've been working with a doctor for several years, and he uses this with good results. I prefer this type of testing over most of conventional methods. Thanks for the information!

[@phalkek]

Sir i am confused about afferent and efferent. You said efferent means information going to brain and afferents means away from brain to body.

[@metteharter3882]

Thank you Dr Ekberg, that was very informative. I think I will practice on my 3 grandchildren...... I know, too much sugar !!!

[@rik-keymusic160]

I did this but as you already mentioned, the tester didn’t applied gradual pressure. He did it like very soft asking me my name to show me the validity of the test comparing that to another name which wasn’t mine but then he really puts some pressure on. I wasn’t really convinced and i did some testing myself while ge was busy testing me. I really noticed that i do could manipulate the results ! So, this testing is super prone to misleading results… and after 20 questing asked to e body and force supplied to it, the arme becomes weaker so how can one tell this is really accurate testing. I don’t want to fully dismis this but be aware the some people can make lots of money with this without really helping a patient further and that’s rather a sad thing. But maybe it helps if one fully believes in it so that some sort of placebo effect occurs and helps people that way. But for me who is hyper analytical… I don’t think this is the best method . How you explain it is far more rational then all the stuff i heard about it so far actually! Thanks 🙏

[@handofgrace5066]

QUESTION: In a situation where there is a question concerning if a person is remembering something correctly and therefore telling the truth about a situation, can one use muscle testing to ask them a yes or no answer to weather they are telling the truth? And would that muscle testing answer be a 100% reliable answer even though they consciously don't recall that muscle test answer as being true? Can we use muscle testing in the form of a yes or no answer to test if someone is telling the truth as long as they agree to do this testing process? And how accurate would it be if they consciously are not remembering something accurately? Thank you.

[@tessarae9127]

LOL whew I'm glad you named an example of bad muscle testing because I wasn't sure but that's totally not what I've seen. I'm afraid I may have explained kinesiology in a way that wasn't as poignant to some people as I am mainly passionate about it at this point, not well-learned (yet :) Hopefully that doesn't turn them off to it, because really, it's their loss!

[@davidgravatt6835]

I have spent over $4,000 with Muscle testing in the last year. HSA is empty, I feel like it can work but for the average family going in with a $100 fee just to be seen then leaving with $4-600 worth of supplement's adds to a stress level which probably causes more inflammation.

[@tessarae9127]

I use it to......... see what to buy when I'm shopping haha... don't judge me! xD It used to be just food but now I use it for clothes too! It's VERY helpful because now I wear outfits that make me feel STRONG!

[@anc2242]

Thanks for sharing. Could you do a video on Dr Hawkins work ?............If it's not too much to ask?

[@drekberg]

He did amazing work. I don't feel I have anything to add.

[@tessarae9127]

Plus, Ekberg does get into how he doesn't really go there as far as muscle testing and emotional work goes... *shrug*

[@lindablazier3891]

In my area of the world there are multiple people who use muscle testing. Inevitibly the patient is sent away with hundreds of dollars of vitamins and supplements but no real explanation about what is wrong. We even had a child come to our office in DKA who was seen by a doctor who was using muscle testing on the child. The child nearly died because the doctor was relying only on muscle testing for several months on this child. I'm not a fan. We have so many other tools in our box to use.

[@acar5907]

The opposite is also true with modern pharmaceutical drugs. I've heard really bad stories with kids getting really sick and dying. I think a good balance of muscle testing, detoxing the body (virus', bacteria, fungus, and parasites), diet, exercise, and giving it what it needs (vitamins, minerals, etc) to heal works best. You can also do other tests to verify what is found with muscle testing.

[@chrisremmett]

No. This creates a bad name and misleading of what kinesiology is. This is actually hypnotic control and subconscious interaction.

[@AaronNel]

All of your content is fantastic. Comments for the algorithm.

[@thedarkriver1]

pretty cool very clear. Thanks, Doc!

[@drekberg]

You are welcome IncrediKAD76.

[@kellyjohnson2001]

I love and enjoy all of your healing thank you!!!!

[@debee1544]

Stan. Could you recommend good Kinesiology sites. Im thinking of doing a course, and so id like to do more research into it as well as making sure its a good course!

[@PawanVerma-hi7gc]

Muscle Testing does not work on me at all. Neither de sit work on my son. I always test 'strong' or lock. Could you please guide me how can make corrections as to how can I test correctly.

[@janelagerquist454]

If you lean or turn head it creates a challenge situation. So under stress ... You can show the issue.

[@KathehFIT]

Yes to understand brain you most study the brain it 1st. I’m actually reading/listening to “ the whole brain book” it’s amazing things you learn about the brain. This is very interesting information tho🤔 aw I thought see was gonna be in this v Video😂😂 Great video Dr.Sten

[@drekberg]

Thank you KathehFit. The brain is very fascinating. When people really understand that the brain controls everything they really understand how powerful and wonderful it is.

[@drekberg]

I thought you might have come to see because of the models in the thumbnail :)

[@KathehFIT]

Dr. Sten Ekberg well I thought you were really testing it on him. I’m like ohhhhhh collab lol. But info in the video is super awesome! I like always learning
