Applied Kinesiology

Dr. Press completed a course in Applied Kinesiology, the techniques originally developed by Dr. George Goodheart of Detroit, who was the Doctor recommended by Dr. Press to go to Lake Placid as the first US Olympic  team Doctor in 1980.

Applied Kinesiology is based on various phenomena which were either discovered by Goodheart, or integrated into AK by him. It seems clear that there are  subtle energy fields and channels running through the human body, which carry a form of energy which has probably eluded scientists even now. For example, in acupuncture it is well described that there are meridians or channels of chi, or life energy flowing which it is theorized are affected by the placement of needles. Histologically there is no difference in these tissues at all from the tissues near or next  to the acupuncture points! These channels are NOT nerves, or nerve tissue. Yet we can measure in a laboratory the amounts of endorphins produced by stimulating these  points, and stimulating the tissue nearby, does NOT yield the same results. Frankly, scientists  have no clue what is the mechanism by which acupuncture gives  results.

Similarly, homeopathic medicine  has shown results  in several relatively recent scientific studies, and there is no good scientific explanation for how it can possibly have any effect on a body.

In AK,  Muscle testing  is performed to assess  the functions of internal organs  theorized to have some energy relationship to those muscles. Nutritional substances can be tested and we can look a the reaction the body has to them before you actually swallow the pill, or capsules.

Does AK replace traditional diagnostic methods? Absolutely not! But it can , and probably should be  used as an adjunct to these techniques.
