It is possible to dramatically
improve your state of health. If you suffer from
chronic pain or illness, or you are simply frustrated
with your efforts to improve your health, there is an
alternative. Implementing the best approach to achieve
your goal for better health requires an understanding
of the details behind the cause of your symptoms.
Dr. Stephen C. L’Hommedieu provides an accurate and efficient method
for revealing the details underlying many simple to
complex health conditions that typically escape
conventional and other alternative methods of
evaluation, such as:
- Heavy Metal and Chemical Toxicities
- Food and Environmental Sensitivities
- Nutrient Deficiencies
- Latent Bacteria, Fungus and Viruses
- Undetected Parasites
- Organ Dysfunctions
- Hormone Imbalances
- Mental and Emotional Stress
- Mitochondrial Dysfunctions
- Medically Induced Illnesses and Toxicities
- Causes of an Inability to Lose Weight
- Causes of Adrenal Fatigue
- Causes of Thyroid Imbalances
- Causes of Chronic Pain
- Causes of Unexplained Symptoms
If you are you
confused about how to reclaim your health, Dr.
L’Hommedieu can take the guesswork out of your health
care and get your health back on track through
Advanced Kinesiology.
Kinesiology in Health Care
Kinesiology
is one of the most fascinating, precise, effective,
and certainly one of the most misunderstood
complimentary testing methods utilized by alternative
health care professionals. Commonly referred to as
“muscle testing” by the layperson, expert kinesiology
testing can play a vital role for achieving the best
results in your health care. Its primary advantage is
the ability to reveal hidden critical details
underlying simple and complex health issues frequently
missed by conventional medical testing.
Contrary to
the opinions of misinformed skeptics
kinesiology is neither some “ethereal belief system”
nor is it “metaphysical” or “New Age.” Rather, it is a
sophisticated neurologically-based, functional testing
procedure. It is capable of identifying priority
structural (musculoskeletal), physiological (physical
and chemical factors and processes) and psychosomatic
(mental and emotional) imbalances through your body’s
“computer” system-- the central nervous system (CNS).
This premise of kinesiology testing stems from decades
of clinical research and results that have
demonstrated how the CNS organizes and prioritizes all
functional information in your body into “files” ready
to be accessed, much like your home computer.
Similar to
how an anti-viral program scans for corrupt files,
this procedure scans for corrupt CNS “files”
associated with your imbalances. It then identifies
the important critical details underlying those
imbalances often missed by specialized medical
diagnostics and other alternative testing methods.
Indentifying
the details behind a disorder is the key to an
effective natural medicine approach for restoring
balance. Keep in mind that kinesiology does not
possess any “brains” in itself; it is always the
doctor’s expertise that provides that part of the
equation. This is the primary reason why different
alternative practitioners can vary greatly in their
clinical evaluations and results.
Brief
History
The
explosion of development in clinical applications of
kinesiology began in the early 1960’s. Dr. George
Goodheart, DC is recognized as the founder of a system
known today as Applied Kinesiology (AK). Dr.
Goodheart’s work focused on the intricate
interrelationships of the somatovisceral
(musculoskeletal/organ) systems. As a chiropractor, he
developed procedures for correcting musculoskeletal or
structural imbalances by addressing one or more of the
“five factors.” This system continued to develop to
encompass hundreds of effective manual techniques. It
eventually evolved to include the influence of body
chemistry imbalances and mental/emotional stressors in
undermining structural (musculoskeletal) balance.
From Dr.
Goodheart’s original work came the efforts of other
researchers who contributed to the extensive
development of the technique and its applications. Of
special note was the research of Dr. Alan Beardall, DC
who developed an extensively detailed and complex
system called Clinical Kinesiology (CK). This system
was created primarily out of Dr. Beardall’s
frustration in trying to determine the priority AK
techniques the body required and when to perform them.
Dr. Beardall
went on to develop the concept of the Human
Biocomputer Hand Mode System consisting of numerous
systematically detailed flow charts that enabled him
to access what he described as biocomputer “files.”
Through accessing these biocomputer “files,” he
discovered a means of retrieving valuable in-depth
health information in the priority sequence as
indicated by the body. His CK brought the principles
of AK to the next level. Dr. Beardall’s comprehensive
method would later confirm the major role of
biochemical imbalances as a primary contributing cause
of structural (musculoskeletal) imbalances.
Kinesiology Demonstrates God’s Intelligent Design
What Drs.
Goodheart, Beardall and many others discovered,
explored, and mapped in minute detail were the
multiple levels of neurological and physiological
communications between muscles and organs, organs and
other organs, and muscles and other muscles; the
complex interconnectedness of God’s intelligent
design.
This
intelligent design was also recognized on other levels
through Chinese medicine thousands of years ago with
the discovery of body meridians (energy pathways of
the body). The Chinese observed relationships between
these meridians and organs (e.g. pain or tenderness
felt on the inside of the ankle (Kidney acupuncture
point) and weakened kidney function, between organs
with other organs (e.g. colon cancer metastasizing to
the lungs), between emotions and organs (e.g.
suffering extreme grief and developing pneumonia), and
many others.
These
bioenergetic and physiologic phenomena and their
physical relationships within the context of the whole
person, have continued to be meticulously observed,
researched and validated by many throughout history.
As with all pioneers who strive to understand the
complexities of human function, they observed and
researched the connections of God’s intelligent design
in the true spirit of real science.
The Mechanisms
of Muscle Response Testing
The mechanisms
of turning muscles on and off (strong and weak)occur
as normal neurological functions, such as when one is
walking, running, etc. However, muscle function can
also be impacted in positive or negative ways as a
result diet, stress, training, and health status. This
mechanism can also be utilized as a method of testing
to collect important functional information and to
provide important details into the cause of and
support for many difficult to treat health disorders.
This
correlation of muscles turning on and off as a normal
neurologic function is a significant clue to an
important connection: a muscle response is dictated
by the central nervous system (CNS). Whether we
call it Muscle Response Testing (MRT) in
professional circles or muscle testing by
layperson, it is more appropriate to refer to this
type of testing as neurologic response testing.
Although a physical response is observed by muscles
turning on and off, we are actually testing the
nervous system’s capacity to handle your body’s
present physiologic functions. This is taken to the
next level when testing your nervous system’s
compatibility with and resistance to specific toxins,
foods and nutrients.
Clinical
Example #1
A man in his
80’s presented with severe bacterial infections lodged
in his knee prosthesis (the bacteria were confirmed
through kinesiology testing, as well). His infectious
disease doctors had been fighting to get it under
control for 4 years. Despite extraordinary efforts
through various medical interventions, his doctors no
longer held hope for his recovery and admitted he
would require another knee replacement surgery. Even
an alternative physician told him replacement of the
prosthesis would be the only viable solution.
Upon his first
visit to our office it was discovered that the
combination of antibiotics administered was not
working effectively. As somewhat of a surprise to him,
he requested testing for bacterial sensitivity to the
antibiotics when he went back to his medical
physician. When he returned to our office he told us
the lab test results confirmed both bacteria were
still sensitive to the antibiotics he was taking. Yet
again, it was confirmed through kinesiology testing
that his antibiotics were not working effectively. It
was suggested he ask his infectious disease doctor for
samples of other antibiotics to find a better
alternative.
The following
office visit he brought a number of antibiotic samples
provided by his medical physician. We found there was
only one that would provide the overall effectiveness
he required. He contacted his medical physician to see
if he would have any objections to trying the new
antibiotic. It took only 2 days on the new antibiotic
for his color to return along with increased energy.
Gradually he became stronger and his overall health
improved significantly as we continued to build his
nutritional therapy program based on my kinesiology
findings.
Interestingly,
they had already tried that antibiotic 18 months
prior, but he was unable to take it because of the
severe side effects he experienced. However, because
he was supported with specific nutritional support
determined through kinesiology testing he was able to
use the more effective antibiotic safely and
successfully.
Clinical
Example #2
A middle-aged
woman suffered chronic jaundice for years with no
medical explanation. She was also on a liver
transplant list because of her excessively high ALT
liver values. Kinesiology testing revealed underlying
mercury toxicity and parasites compromising liver and
gastrointestinal functions.
A nutritional
support program was designed to address the mercury
toxicity and the parasites. However, the degree of
parasite infection was far too excessive for natural
remedies alone to resolve the issue. We referred her
to our medical physician who prescribed the
appropriate prescription and dosages that were
required.
The end results
were positive. She lost 60 pounds while eliminating an
extraordinary quantity of parasites, her jaundice was
resolved and she felt stronger than she had in years.
Clinical
Example #3
This is an
example of a so-called genetically acquired disorder,
but was actually an environmentally caused disorder.
A man in his
sixties presented with high blood pressure, which he
claimed was genetic because all of his family members
had the same abnormally high blood pressure. His
assessment revealed lead toxicity compromising kidney
function.
A thorough
history revealed the farm house where he was raised
used lead water pipes. An appropriate program was
recommended to safely lower the lead levels to lower
his blood pressure.
Clinical
Example #4
This is another
example of a so-called genetically acquired disorder.
A young woman
in her 30’s presented with impaired thyroid function
since childhood. She had been taking synthetic thyroid
hormone since she was 13 years old. She believed it
was a genetic disorder because her whole family
suffered similar thyroid problems. Her assessment
revealed pesticides in her thyroid were altering
normal thyroid function.
Her history
revealed she and her family were heavily exposed to
crop dusting in northern California where she grew up.
An appropriate program was recommended to support her
requirements.
Clinical
Example #5
A young woman
had been unable to conceive after the couple had been
trying for over a year. Her assessment revealed
sub-clinical bacterial infection lodged in her spleen.
She also had a known allergic reaction to carrots.
After a period
of several months of treatment we resolved the
infection. When the treatments were finished she
immediately conceived and a later gave birth to a
healthy baby boy. An additional side benefit was the
elimination of her allergic reaction to carrots.
Clinical
example #6
An 18 year old
female college student had been suffering
incapacitating migraines for 4 years. She also
suffered with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and
hyper-adrenal function. All of her symptoms began
suddenly shortly after receiving a vaccination. She
had previously been managing the migraines with
prescription drugs, which were no longer working. Her
endocrinologist used drug therapy to shut down adrenal
function. They began other alternative treatments
before coming here, but without success.
The assessment
revealed primary issues of mercury toxicity and
vaccine toxicity to her ovaries. Once we began the
appropriate nutritional intervention her migraines
immediately began to reduce in number and intensity.
By the 3rd week her migraines completely stopped. Her
energy increased and no longer required suppressive
drug therapy to control “hyper-adrenal” activity.
