I just meet this doctor who does nutritional kinesiology. It's an intersting way to go about finding out how your body is functioning through muscle testing, etc.

I've actually have had a good experience with it but I was wondering if anyone out there goes to one and what do you think? Has it worked for you?

I went to one. He was very odd. I spent most of the time trying to hold in my laughter. Although he did not actually "touch me" whatevfer he did my body did respond as if he had.

So if it works go for it. I still think it is a little odd!

Kinesiology seems like the ultimate alternative medicine to me. I had a chiropractor once who tested me in this way for B12 deficiency, and it seemed to test out correctly after adding B12. He also did a series of more psychological tests to try and find out why a certain physical condition might be chronic. This had less of a result, but it could have been because he didn't have an effective psychological follow up for removing the causes like he did with the B12, or the issues posed became too complex for the yes/no framework of the system.

I think our mind/bodies know a lot about our own conditions and the system does work because it taps this subconscious knowledge that we otherwise might not have access to, or for one reason or another go against. Bringing the knowledge out can help us to follow it.

Yes, if you have a good practitioner, go for it. What works, works and we should honor it. You can also find training for this so you can perform it on your family and yourself. I have read manuals for this but have found them difficult to learn without the help of an experienced practitioner-teacher.

There are many different and ingenious ways of listening to the body for answers. I know of one person who perfected a thumb-finger rub next to her ear: the sound one way represented "yes" a different sound represented "no" (the body changing the skin slightly or the muscle tension slightly to create these differing sounds which she recognized). She liked this system because she could use it discretely in public to ask her body questions about issues in daily life (e.g. Is this guy for me?).
