It is possible to influence the test. My programming says its crazy and my ego certainly doesn't like it either (fear).

That is partly why I have tested for myself, for my own experience, it done where myself and the subject knew not what was being tested. Again consistent results.

I can certainly intentionally affect the results and it is possible unintentionally.

What is used to test results is relative strength.

Times of day can affect some things. Say food for example (like I mentioned above). If apples are good for you but you just ate 10 of them you will test weak as at that moment an apple isn't good for you. When testing food and substances the test is in the moment.

Voice is not an issue as you calibrate first with a known. Truth and false statement with a name for example. once I got wrong a weak response when I got the guy to state his name (this could mean the body is "reversed"). He told me after that that was the name he went by but was not his real name. We tested with his real name and got a strong reponse and then weak with a false name.

So you always make sure you are getting clear responses. If voice was getting in the way it would then.

Comparison - easiest way. Opposite statements. "Soy is good for me" and "soy is bad for me" and see what the body says.

So the difference, if you can feel one, tells you regardless if they are weaker or stronger at different times of the day or other stimulus.

florescent lighting - many will test weak when on and stronger when off...
If they are that sensitive to it it could effect the test (reverse them) You may get weak and strong backwards. Again, the reason you simply check first.

I had a client that I had to turn off the lights as it was effecting the work we were doing. Some people are so sensitive to electromagnetic fields that to regain health and strength they pretty much need to stay away from them for a time and rebuild their health before being re-introduced.

Dr Emoto shows what happens to water exposed to types of electromagnetic fields.

Resting the muscle is not a big issue as it is relative strength. As the muscle fatigues it will still be relatively stronger or weaker.

Some people respond so strongly that there is little skill or sensitivity needed by the tester. If you are testing with the arm out to the side, it almost drops. People who are sensitive to their bodies and in tune can often feel the strength difference before the muscle is specifically tested.

Ways I prefer to test with clients - the muscle won't fatigue in a session. The arm out to side test is just easiest to explain.

Retest - hell, as much as you want.

religious faith healing - the power of the mind is amazing and we aren't even tapping into near its potential. My personal opinion on religion is that it serves a purpose. if it is right for an individual, great. If it is serving them, great. religion is not for me (at least at this point in my life). The pain of judgment I learned from it served to lead me to learning how to judge less.

Muscle testing, though not within our childhood programming, isn't about healing. It is about how the body responds.

Hard western science shows how neuro-peptides that go with different emotions go into the cells all over the body.

They use to think that the "molecules of emotion" were received on the receptor sites on the cells in the brain. It turns out though that everywhere they look, the cells have these sites.

What that means is that every single "molecule of emotion" is felt in the body.

For example. The immune system cells have all the receptor sites for the peptides released with anger, sadness, fear, joy, happiness etc

So do the muscles and brain etc

They have also done studies that show the cells and DNA is differctly effected by thought.

Taking a scraping from a subject. Put in a dish. Watch the DNA and have the individual think different thoughts and remember positive and negative memories and the DNA winds unwinds etc

"Molecules Of Emotion" Candace Pert (she is a bit of a super star in the scientific community to do with peptides etc)

Dr Bruce Lipton has a load of great work as well.

The mind is strong - if it motivates you you may be stronger than when not motivated. Doesn't have to mean it makes you stronger.

power of the mind
placebo effect - written off by "science" as it doesn't serve in making products

Nazi's did placebo operations on the Jews (etc)

Someone had a health issue - they knocked 'em out - cut them open - did no op - stiched them back up - 63.5% (number on memory) success rate.

This, in my opinion, shows the power of the mind and the body-mind connection and ability to heal.

Dr Perts work clearly shows scientifically how thoughts and emotions have direct effects on the body.

Imagine if the possibilities were considered and tested...maybe they turned out to work and maybe not.

When we come from a place of "knowing" (what we were taught or believe already) there is no possibility of experiencing something new.

Imagination is more important than knowledge

I believe Dr E said this because knowing is limited to what we already believe and therefor we cannot move forward. imagination is limitless and with it we may find new possibilities to arise.

"knowledge" changes constantly. The world is flat was a "known" belief. It was fact. Imagine if the "knowers" got on a boat and took a look... Maybe they would decide it is flat, maybe not.

Change is always ridiculed as it challenges what is already "known".

All I know, is that from my experience, it gets results. I intend to be open to the possibility that that may change or that the results are for other reasons.

Evolutionists looking with science to prov e evolution will succeed. Creationists looking to prove creation with science will succeed.

They both know and are looking for something and find it.

I wonder what might be found if they wondered and were curious...
