First I would like to welcome you Wing Commander to the forum.
This is a topic which has been covered here before and I never did like the way the conversation went so I just didn't participate, however today I feel less like letting a good opportunity to inform some about the reliablity of the procedure known as Kinesiology go by.
As most forms of alternative healing aka; Acupuncture for one are misunderstood by the masses as time goes by and the use of them becomes more popular by mainstream people and looked to more than the so called medicine of today and the MDA decides there is a way to make money off these other forms of healing.........well just don't get me started. One is healing the body the other one is treating the body with drugs to mask the symptoms.
I can only testify to my use of biokinesiology for many years. Kinesiology goes back to the early 1940's and is a proven and useful form of theapy. My experience with Kinesiology was a positive one, a physical, emotional mind and body alternating experience. I was able to overcome what was then told to me to be a severe complication of hypoglycemia and I had the physical symptoms of someone with rheumatoid arthritis. One medical doctor wanted to start treating me with steriods to alleviate the pain. I'm so thankful to this day that I didn't go that route and was told about alternative ways to treat my symptoms which is how I got started with Kinesiology. It was a long duration of chiropratic treatments, bio-feedback and herbal supliments but I am living proof that it works and would hate to gone the "other" route as one friend of mine did and unfortuanatelly she didn't survive the treatments with steriods and died due to complications of the medicine she was taking. I'm not saying that this would happen to everyone, but her quality of life deterioated all during her treatment she never was the same person and never got any relief from her pain, it was very sad to watch.
Not long after I started feeling like my old self I began bike riding and doing 100 mile bike events to raise money for charities. Had anyone (I even surprised the Chiropractor who treated me) told me when I started my treatments that I would be riding a bike even a few yards back then I would have told them they were crazy! I could barely walk in the Chiropractor's door when I began treatment. I was like anyone skeptic that it would work and learned to not tell most of the dubs that I was going this route although it was a "sister" who gave me the name of the Chiropractor, a lot of "sisters" were going to him until they felt the Kinesiology was demonized or something. I studied up on Kinesiology and was totally comfortable with it and as it begin to work for me the more an advocate of it I became.
As with many things in life there are those who can and will use such things to scam people at their own monetary gain, it pays to be careful and confident in the practioner.
If you would like to become informed about this and other alternative forms of healing this is a good web site to learn about them: http://www.kinesiology.net/ Also I believe the One Brain information is there. Before chalking all alternative healing methods to scams and those who use such things for their own misguidance please inform yourselves as to the validity of them and understand that there are many honest and good practioners of such alternative healing methods.
